Some people don't seem to get it - the quality of the singing doesn't matter, it's all about the attitude. Yeah, Sid was a snotty brat and a junkie who couldn't play the bass but this performance rightly became iconic.
Steve27775 The older I get, the more punk seems like posers. But, then I remember we're all posers with fake facades we show the outside world. I'm sure the same things that drove me to rap in the late 80s led people to punk in the late 70s, So if you're going to be a poser, it might as well be anti-establishment.
Jesse Morrow its just about not letting others define you.. impose their wills on you.. make you feel this way or that way.. tell you how to act.. etc... it's a bit of an abrasive overly-defensive approach, but it's liberating nonetheless
I realize that Sid Vicious wasn't the... best person in the world, but he is still iconic to the world of punk rock, man. He didn't give a shit what anyone else thinks. His attitude was what was so great about him. It's why I look up to him.
Yeah totally, people put in their minds only his "abilities" as a bassman and forget the real reason why he is so important for the punk rock, actually not only for the punk rock but the rock in general and for a whole generation in the 70's and the next ones.
+Bardolf Spitler It is from The Great Rock and Roll Swindle. The whole song and video. I believe Jheri may have watched the movie Sid and Nancy and thought it was factual.
The wonderful thing people seem to miss about the Sex Pistols is that they were proof that attitude can lead to success, even if your level of talent isn't up to par with the rest.
As far as I'm concerned, this is the definitive version of this song, the perfect melding of style and substance...Sid is literally performing the song his way.
This song was the final song at my parent's wedding... and I'll be damn sure that it's the last song at my wedding. I can't wait to meet John Ritchie one day. :)
For all the people saying this isn't punk and he couldn't sing,....Punk music isn't really focused on vocals its about rebellion and freedom and he's saying he's doing things his way. So even though he's not singing the best he has that RAW punk kind of I DONT GIVE A FUCK attitude.....that's TRUE punk =D
He sang an iconic song in a beautiful way, which was totally apt to his life and his very short future. God bless him, he did the best with his hand, which was distinctly lacking. RIP John. x
Reminds me of my poor old cat, My Way, named in tribute to this beautiful song. I still regret not looking in my rear view mirror. I didn't mean to do it, My Way😥
What an eccentric performance.. God Bless you Sid 1957-1979 My hero when I was 18 and angry Sinatra did it his way and you went and took it to another place. Cool neon stairs..
Under values of a hypocritical society that lived in the shadow of pretense, where the normal thing would be to remain silent in the queue that ran to the right, Sid turned left, singing this is "my way" ... Who dares to say he was wrong?
@@collinjensen6671 You must of known him well. I'm not sure the people closest to him would have described him as nice, he was troubled and violent... in all reality he likely stabbed his gf to death... yet the hero worship will live on. Massive Sex Pistols fan here btw
This is actually better than ole blue eyes! Sidney performed not sang, he was a PUNK FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!! A spittin', snarlin', genuinely angry young man - a real punk!!!!
This video rules. Sid Vicious was awesome. This version kicks the shit out of Frank Sinatra's version. I love how he shoots all the people in the audience, gives them the British middle finger and walks off.
I agree- I think this is an awful version. If Sid Vicious is going to make a shitty cover of an all time Sinatra classic, he can do us all a favour and sing like a norman human, not like a drowning goose.
i imagine the uploader being a big fun of sex pistols and having tapes with their performances and then BAM, the iternet happened, now he could shine in the spotlight now he could for once give his favorite band something, so he uploaded the damn thing, and i am fucking grateful. What ever you do folks, do it your way:)
+Alex M "I/m an average nobody. Get to live the rest of my life like a schnook..." as we see Tommy pointing his gun at us..BANG BANG BANG! Such a great song to end that awesome flick!
I believe we have a higher power, i know that evil is real, amd I truly believe in science. And its all amazing to me. The universe goes on & I. How could any one person or group be right? I think its all of what I believe and so much more then anyone has even thought of. Yet!! Im think is only right to let others believe what they believe. I just or will not think inside the box. I want to know what is way outside the box.
So Tyler, you're a scientist. Then, What would you say to Lavoisier and the first principle of the Law of Conservation and all the dilemma that emerges? Can you prove what you say? My advice is to let people live and die as they chose. You certainly allowed youself, not to give advice, but to judge another one's beliefs, which is at least concerning for someone who believes and stands on science. In addition, deducting from your "science and reason. gosh"-ish expression, more worrying is the fact that you seem to be full of certainties and that your "not-believeing-in-God" stance puts you in a higher or more evolved position than the ones that do believe (I don´t). I invite you to read and inform yourself more about basic science and social science.
I do respect Sid Vicious so much, he was a poor Young kid over protected by his mom and he got fucked by a whore as kurt cobain did then cause his death .... Vicious story his so sad the way they treated him in jail .... make me feel like he's sill alive right there.... Sid Vicious Was Innnocent !!!
Great. Another momma's boy who feels emasculated by strong women. Just what the world needs. It's all Yoko's fault too, right? You know us women, any time we're not making cookies or babies we're out destroying men who apparently have absolutely no will of their own. Creationist Blame Eve bullshit.
I had no idea this was a thing until watching Sid & Nancy earlier today. What a great performance! It's not well sung and it's shot terribly but there is so much attitude and passion behind it.
_"It's not well sung and it's shot terribly but there is so much attitude and passion behind it."_ That was kind-a the point. Turing a classy, melancholic tune into a hilariously "vicious" parody. I hope a contemporary artist takes some inspiration and shake things up a bit in the music industry.
This makes me wish I did it my way, best car commercial ever, I only wish it could be longer and played back to back to back to back, I think I made my point. I wish this was the only commercial ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coulndt sing or play, but the Pistols will go down in history as great, not like the crap on the radio these days. i grew up with this band and all the others from the 80's, some good stuff these days, but nothing like back then.

Steve27775 sid is an idiot Johnny is cool
Steve27775 World and people are stupid , that's the main message behind sex pistol and they are right.
+Steve27775 yeah what a great performance and what a great song!!

Maybe he should have cared more and been a better person. I like the sex pistols for the most part, but Sid is not someone you should look up to lol
This is a solo song by Sid Vicious. It is not by the Sex Pistols. This was after he split from the band.
+Jheri Miller I love your picture :3 (First com on RUclips yeah! )
+Bardolf Spitler It is from The Great Rock and Roll Swindle. The whole song and video. I believe Jheri may have watched the movie Sid and Nancy and thought it was factual.

The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle isn't a real Sex Pistols album!
Ironically, I find this incredibly energizing.
The wonderful thing people seem to miss about the Sex Pistols is that they were proof that attitude can lead to success, even if your level of talent isn't up to par with the rest.
I'm Old and grew up hearing my parents play Sinatra records. I LOVE this version of My Way!!!!
It's classic!
Me too!!!
I'm 61 & loved it years ago & still love it!
It's a really great version of " My Way " sung by Sid Vicious ; my Favorite One !!!
I'm of the older original punk era. These guys were the ground breaking punk band. Glad to see Johnny still rocking out after all the years.
It's not Johnny nor is it the Pistols. It's Did after they broke up.
my way was finally sung by a man who DID do it his way... and sid sang it superbly...i think he d be a great singer!
sometimes when people write "gooooooood" im just not sure its "god" or good"
you put a lot of effort into thinking and writing that didn't you
Tod Johnson well, if typing on a keyboard is a lot of effort, then yes
Haha nice one mate!
There is no god, lol theist fool
MelancoliaI yea I guess for the simple minded fool things appear out of nowhere and create themselves out of thin air.
Awesome.. I love this, Sid sings it brilliantly..
My mum wants this played at her funeral. I know she loves the Sex Pistols because she named me and my sister after them.
thats cool
Nah... I think her name is Pistols and her sister's name is Sex...
or her's my and her sister's name is way... or the reverse...
nope Sid (me) and Jonee (my sister) but nice thinking
vai ficar ótimo !
Rest in Peace Sid.
And Cat.
...I like this version..he sang it his way...
As far as I'm concerned, this is the definitive version of this song, the perfect melding of style and substance...Sid is literally performing the song his way.
I love this because it emphasizes that the Sex Pistols were basically a rock and roll revival band.
Almost 10 million views, it deserves much more. RIP Sid.
this is one of the most awesome songs i've ever heard
oh the memories of cutting edge music and weekly releases of enduring classics.
This song was the final song at my parent's wedding... and I'll be damn sure that it's the last song at my wedding. I can't wait to meet John Ritchie one day. :)
Might be waiting awhile on that one bud...
John ritchie from the artie lange show?
BTW boys and girls, this isn't the Sex Pistols this is just Sid.
S-a-d vicious.
This maybe before my time, but even I understand that Sid was purposely singing like shit in the beginning. People are obnoxious music buffs now.....
Janaka Manobah not like he could sing great in the first place though :P
Pistols forever!!! The original hardcore punk rock band... enough said.
For all the people saying this isn't punk and he couldn't sing,....Punk music isn't really focused on vocals its about rebellion and freedom and he's saying he's doing things his way. So even though he's not singing the best he has that RAW punk kind of I DONT GIVE A FUCK attitude.....that's TRUE punk =D
Oh and secondly, if ya don't like it move on buster!
He sang an iconic song in a beautiful way, which was totally apt to his life and his very short future. God bless him, he did the best with his hand, which was distinctly lacking. RIP John. x
One of my dad's favourite songs🎵
GANDA SOM AO ESTILO PUNK.....irreverencia que falta nos dias de hoje á malta nova.E tenho dito.
Reminds me of my poor old cat, My Way, named in tribute to this beautiful song.
I still regret not looking in my rear view mirror. I didn't mean to do it, My Way😥
if my life was a movie id want this to play during the credits
I dont know why but I really like this comment
Goodfellows beat you to it.
Today is Sid’s Day
10 May 2014
Happy Punk Birthday 57 Years Old
Sid Vicious ;)
You are the punk king! I miss you bro.
Happy Birthday Sidney Sheldon Vicious
Sidney Sheldon Vicious is my master
Vive le Rock
What an eccentric performance..
God Bless you Sid
1957-1979
My hero when I was 18 and angry
Sinatra did it his way and you went and took it to another place.
Cool neon stairs..
This is one of the best "fuck off"'s of all time.

you're funny
+Luis Elias So what
Stephen Power Actually he was a pretty nice person, the whole asshole thing was just a stage persona.
i Know... i Just Put a +1 To Your Words... But i Do Agree With You Luis...

I asked for spaghetti and meatballs and I got egg noodles and ketchup
Marinara*
bobshark123 just correcting my first comment, i accidentally put meatballs instead of marinara
I'm an average nobody. I get to spend the rest of my life like a shnook.
Great movie
*6 gun shots from Joe Pesi*
Loved, love his 2 fingers treatment so much, bought the 12" single?, must get it out & play it
This is actually better than ole blue eyes! Sidney performed not sang, he was a PUNK FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!! A spittin', snarlin', genuinely angry young man - a real punk!!!!
yes
I love this video! :´)

This Is an alternative version but vocally It's fair to say It's Frank who Is doing the kicking.
there is my way and there is your way, the right way or the only way does not exist
Well said, Jairaj. Praise Sinatra's, Sid's and also Camisa de Vênus singing my way! (Camisa de Vênus it's an brazilian band)
praise good music man!

Just got this on vinyl for Christmas. My favourite record so far
Espectacular !
Not just a great vocalist......but also a superb bass player.
No he wasn't really. They hired him more for looks than his "talent"
It looks like a comedy sketch now
😂
R.I.P Sid Vicious
Good fellas?
Alexander Medina yep!
+Alexander Medina yep!
+Alex M "I/m an average nobody. Get to live the rest of my life like a schnook..." as we see Tommy pointing his gun at us..BANG BANG BANG! Such a great song to end that awesome flick!
omg! yes
Hawkeye 47 yep
Happy birthday, Sid
Which year was this?
Hes not as good as Rotten... But he made his own version of "My Way" - Frank Sinatra... Its really cool ;)
sublime
The other day I ordered ketchup and egg noodles
And I got spaghetti with marinara sauce, I get to live the rest of my life as a schnook
Sid!! Great song,fave pistols tune!!👍
Un genio
Can you imagine Motorhead doing a cover version of this song? Maybe!!!
or AC/DC
***** I'd be brawlin' to it!
It should be more than great!
Elizabeth Laughlin u know this is already a cover a frank sinatra song right
Elizabeth Laughlin it would be better than this heap of crap
Another talent wasted...I wish I was in hell to join the rock and roll party !!
Who sings vicius or rotten??
I pray you have found everything that you didnt find in this life! See you on the other side Sid!
there is no other side, this is all anyone's got..... make the most of it.

RIP Sid...Respect from all punk movement in Greece...!!!
No way you'll be forgotten Sid! Still rockin' ;)
This is Badass! Love Sid, my man and a Punk Rock Legend.
¿Qué canal es ese?/ What channel it's?
The day before I did hear this song the very first time in my life I didn't knew that punkrock even exist! That*s MY reason why I love that song!
When?
Donde sale nancy?
I had no idea this was a thing until watching Sid & Nancy earlier today. What a great performance!
It's not well sung and it's shot terribly but there is so much attitude and passion behind it.

I was so obsessed with this song.
Great, 10 millions views!! But this deserves so much more ;)
Pennyworth sends me here 🦇🇬🇧
Regrets, I've had a few and one of the biggest was watching this horrendous version of one of the greatest songs ever
This makes me wish I did it my way, best car commercial ever, I only wish it could be longer and played back to back to back to back, I think I made my point. I wish this was the only commercial ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again Dad for getting me into punk.
Wtf.... he's like 20....the soul he delivers is only understood by very few. He did it his way. Most of us can't wrap our brains around that. Imo.
Sid Vicious is perfect. No matter what people say, I love him for who he was, and he is a great loss. I mourn him everyday.
Simon Jeffes Eternity 🏴☠️
He gives fresh life to this hackneyed song.
Grande sid vicious io. Ascolto. Tutti i tipi di canzoni e. Musica questa è una delle mie. Preferite
Sid: the only king of Punk.
¿Por qué está cantando Sid?
Always one of the Best!
+Goalogique Records And one of the best second is last second! :))
Love it. Sinatra apparently was amused. If only Sid had done an album of other classics The Vicious Way.
Ruhe in Frieden Sid! Deine Musik lebt ewig weiter!!!!!!!
This is so good, I loved how they had Sid sing it
Such a great song!
this is the very best version of My Way :-D
This should reach 10 million !!
really liked when Dave Mustaine mentioned on his book: "Regrets, I've a had few"
I love all versions of my way but this one is the best
pure quality and British class .
This guy knew he wasn't going to live long this is his swan song
Was he dropped?
Exceptionnel.... LA + belle reprise de "Comme d'habitude" ,sans nul doute... RIP Sid
Se llama actitud.
I love how they censored the "when there was fuck, fuck fucking else to do. with the crowd applause lol.
me encanta!!!!!!!!!!!!

what does BJ means? sorry but I can't speak English very well
Que buen tema for ever good song :)
