It's sad to me how many people hate this girl... She was so young and reckless and misguided, so who can honestly blame HER for his death when he OD'ed after she was already dead, possibly by his hand? I think this interview is sort of sweet, she's trying to keep him awake for an interview, looking after him. She seems to me to be the more coherent, aware one of the two while he's just out of his mind on drugs, stoned. And honestly people, its not her fault she had a funny accent. Really now.
I'm reading the book "And I don't want to live this life" ("Inte som andra döttrar" in Sweden), and it's very touching to see and hear Nancy speak. She had not a easy life.
Mfried666 - I've been a heroin addict for quite some years and this is exactly what grade A heroin does to a person. You nod off and are in and out of it quite like an alternate reality where you come to and aren't quite sure what's been happening. This is exactly how he is acting and for someone to dispute that, they have obviously never used the drug.
He wore a swastika for shock value. Nazi Punk is something that Sid hated, he said that Nazi Punks had no place in music. But yeah. Shock value, and that's it.
No one used the term "nazi punk' until that dead kennedys song.............there is no such thing as a nazi punk...........although the closest thing strangely enough would be ANTIFA doing the govt bidding and not getting arrested.........
You're right about the poppers!! Moreover if you'd like to look at it again (particularly at Nancy Spungen), you'll see that the video was cut just after he did them. We'll never know what was said or did....
Although she was on drugs as well, she did try to encourage Sid to continue with his career, even tried to get him some gigs that he most likely never turned up to. He was letting his life fall apart, and she was dependant on him to get it sorted, sadly it didn't work out for either of them.
@whommie001 thats probably why he died most heroin users get into trouble after rehab as there body builds up a tolerance to the gear so after rehab they take what they think is a small amout and it fucks them right up
I know people debate it, but I think Chloe Webb and Gary Oldman really did a good job playing Sid and Nancy in the movie version. Watching the real Sid and Nancy really makes that clear to me.
Something tells me, he'd die first if not for that murder (the drug dealer did it, Sid was knocked out at the time most likely). He was already a junky before he found her.
The only thing I got to say is that this is now part of music history. Nothing is made to ake everyone happy. People adore Sid and nancy because of their rebeliiousness as people not conforming to rules, and other's hate because they abused drugs. I prsonally don't do drugs but am a rebel at heart and just admire the rebelliosness of the youth of the past. And NO we don't have to be fucked UP to make statements.
Thank you. They each made up their own minds to do the drugs they did and do the things they did. They may have brought out the worst in each other, but they also really loved each other. Who's to say what's right or not. They were adults. Well kinda.
I think I read somewhere that one of Sid's friends hated Nancy because she was extremely unlikable and everyone could see through her because she just wanted to sleep with a sex pistol initially. People started asking why Sid bothered with her but the friend said that she always saw it like sid was the kid and nancy was the mom, giving him affection he never got. You can really see that here. R.I.P. S and N
Well Sid Vicious was introduced to heroin by Nancy, but Nancy did give Sid his creative ambitions. Courtney however wanted Kurt Cobain to become more commercial and introduced him to heroin on top of it. Yoko Ono was just the woman inn the middle of the fab four, distracting Lennon from music. That's why everybody hates her.
Where can you find the whole interview... I want to get it.. and see the whole interview in it's entirey.. shoot... yeah I heard about that poster crazy
sid was a legend from a legendary band. he stood against conformorty and the system plus he was famous. how many rock legends can honestly say they havent done drugs
I'm reading a book about Nancy in school, and this is really hard to understand, that it really happened.. They really were together and hit the bottom.. It's really sad..
Hearing the real Nancy Spungen makes me realize what an incredible job Chloe Webb did in portraying her. The similarities in their voices are unbelievable.
I think that that interview is right after their last concert in San Francisco. So may be Nancy is talking about it at the begining, Sid being high and Johny like whatever... Even though Sid sucked at playing base, he's more notorious an remembered that any of the Pistols, Sid is an icon among the rock, punk and other worlds. And yeah, Sid was constantly unplugged. Still he had a lot of fun!
i wish people would stop hating on nancy in this specific interview she was only trying to keep him awake so he give a proper interview she was only trying to help sure they might of ruin each others lives but in this interview to be specific she was only trying to help
Sid has something attractive..I didn't like those guys before!But it's his attitude...he does whatever he wants,he dies whenever he wants and he lives as long as he wants!I like the fact that he is so out of this world..he is special...LOVE YOU SID
@DivisionJane They did love eachother, I agree. They were both a mess, and were addicts. If you read the poem he wrote about her, you'd know, it was love. It was love at it's best and worst.
What's with Nancy's on and off fake English accent? She starts off sounding normal then she's like, "Toime and toime and toime again" then later on she says, "Want a cup of cawfee?" WTF?
I have read a lot of comments on this couple and one thing I do beleive that this is not Nancy's fault that Sid ended up on heroin.If she offered heroin to him all he had to say was NO WAY,FUCK OFF,but he wanted it and if it wasn't Nancy it would of been someone else that would of given it to him!RIP Sid and Nancy
@Londoleil No he's not racist at all he just wore it to tease people around he's Sid he didn't really give a shit what people thought about him but he just wore it to piss people off and make fun of the symbol
Veins of roads,roads of veins Smashed on the brick wall,smeared at once elements of systems,slivers of empire, Someone,who seemed to be Everything,becomes Nothing But you and I, Whole our life will be together Like Sid & Nancy,like Sid & Nancy... None of us will reach old age, Like Sid & Nancy,like Sid &...
It was the 70s, and swastikas were very fashionable within the very new punk culture. Things were different then, it's now much more fashionable and trendy to wear anti-swastika shirts, even though the kids that wear them know nothing of real politics.
I think you´re are really right. Yesterday I saw Sid and Nancy film and now I can better imagine these times and their relationship. He was totally manipulated!!!
Nancy lived in London for some time and also, seeing as Sid has such a strong English accent, she probably got some of it from him. Stop hating on her for it...
there's no way he killed her..that poem explains everything..he wrote it beofre he died and tittled it as NANCY--: "You were my little baby girl/And I knew all your fears/Such joy to hold you in my arms/And kiss away your tears/But now you're gone/There's only pain/And nothing I can do/And I don't want to live this life/If I can't live for you."
For some reason it always bothers me when people talk shit about nancy....for fucks sake they where just 20 and 21,they where just kids!....they never grew up....sad story really
@BigBoomRobot It baffles me how people like you can hate Nancy Spungen, even though you never met her, or personally knew her! She's done nothing to you. It's none of anyone's FUCKING business who Sid Vicious wanted to be with. People like you may not like Nancy Spungen, but the hate you speak towards someone who died, and truly did no harm to anyone is truly disgusting. Nancy was inspirational, and yes she did drugs, but really, what the hell has she done to YOU?
give the guy a break! he lived life how he wanted to, there should be no blame or arguments about whos fault it was. he had a mind of his own and the ability to make his own desicions. he decided to play in one of the best punk bands of all time, he decided to use drugs and whats more he had a fucking good time doing it... all i can say is long live sid vicious!!
god... i just wonder if like sid had married someone like 80 armstrong (billie joe armstrongs wife) if he would still be alive today y'know? the drugs, and nancy.. just ended up killing him in the end. and he left this place way to early... rest in paradise vicious..
how can ANY of you say he killed her or she killed him where u there in the hotel chelsea room no i think not half of u werent even born yet n for those who say she killed him um how the hell she did that from the grave? yes maby she was the reason he KILLED HIMSELF cuz of the luv n lonelyness he had but he had a new woman at the time but in his suicide note found in his jacket pocket by his mom read how he luved nancy and wanted to b buried next to his "baby"
I don't understand all the hatin'. Sure, Sid was without a doubt one of the most talentless stars to ever grace the stage but the dude had style and a presence and really defined an attitude an image. And although Nancy seems to get universally crapped on, in all the interviews and clips I've seen she seems to really genuinely love and care for Sid. They were both "losers" but at least their love was genuine. JW
I don't think either of them knew how to love anyone. They had a mutual love for smack and were just two fucked-up kids. Romantacizing them like Romeo and Juliet is sickening to me.
I think Johnny Rotten is even quoted on saying that Nancy did show Sid the way of heroine.. however it was his own mom who introduced him to heroine and shooting up. He didn't need Nancy though to get heroine. during the last sex pistols show he went and got heroine on his own without nancy..
nancy is trying her best to help, its not like she's not completely slammed in the video also, at least she can handle her shit, unlike the this "VICIOUS" sid, SID VICIOUS RULES, but there is nothing that i can learn from this wasted kid. i cant even make out a sentance, and it just a little sad.
Yes he did do drugs before he met Nancy.. and I want to know EXACTLY WHERE does it say that in THE Filth and the Fury because I have the movie... let me know..
I said for some people, not me. I think he was seen as the ultimate punk. Looked punk, acted punk etc. Was seen as a way to market the Sex pistols to the masses. I totally agree with you as far as punks go I like Jello Biafra, intelligent, aware can sing and write. He doesn't need the bullshit "I dont give a fuck attitude" his music speaks for itself!

She may not have cared much for the band or herself but she truly cared for Sid :(
I'm reading the book "And I don't want to live this life" ("Inte som andra döttrar" in Sweden), and it's very touching to see and hear Nancy speak. She had not a easy life.
i’m in the middle of reading this book now and wanted to hear her speak
Thanx for posting this interview. Didn´t had the chance to see it "back in those days". I´m only 38 years old...

before courtney, there was nancy
before nancy, there was angie bowie
That was cute.
"Do you want me to make you a cup of coffee?"
"Where's my scotch...could you?"
Thanks for having this on...Sid & Nancy should not be forgotten! They were such a mess.
I love the way she says 'quarfee' for 'coffee'. I always like to hear that Brooklyn kind of sound (and yes, I'm aware she was from Philadelphia).
Now I realize that Courtney Love wanted to sound and be like Nancy Spungen.
she even tried to have the part in the Sid and Nancy movie.
He wore a swastika for shock value.
Nazi Punk is something that Sid hated, he said that Nazi Punks had no place in music. But yeah. Shock value, and that's it.
No one used the term "nazi punk' until that dead kennedys song.............there is no such thing as a nazi punk...........although the closest thing strangely enough would be ANTIFA doing the govt bidding and not getting arrested.........
You're right about the poppers!! Moreover if you'd like to look at it again (particularly at Nancy Spungen), you'll see that the video was cut just after he did them. We'll never know what was said or did....
who else loves the irony of nancy saying "dressing awful" next to a man wearing a swastika shirt?
lol yeah but during live shows Sid looked cool as hell
I love this! True love Sid & Nancy forever
sid can u wake up please.. we giving an interview.... ah ah ah bless
Although she was on drugs as well, she did try to encourage Sid to continue with his career, even tried to get him some gigs that he most likely never turned up to. He was letting his life fall apart, and she was dependant on him to get it sorted, sadly it didn't work out for either of them.
This video makes me sad, the people who knew Sid described him as a funny and goofy kid but in this he is so gone
@whommie001 thats probably why he died most heroin users get into trouble after rehab as there body builds up a tolerance to the gear so after rehab they take what they think is a small amout and it fucks them right up
I know people debate it, but I think Chloe Webb and Gary Oldman really did a good job playing Sid and Nancy in the movie version. Watching the real Sid and Nancy really makes that clear to me.
Listen to song Lumen - Sid & Nancy
Something tells me, he'd die first if not for that murder (the drug dealer did it, Sid was knocked out at the time most likely). He was already a junky before he found her.
RIP Sid, love ya :[
Where can I see the whole interview?
The only thing I got to say is that this is now part of music history. Nothing is made to ake everyone happy.

poor sid look at him he just couldn't talk under all the heroin
@Radioactive1080 they sell them online. not hard to find
hahahaha i love the Swastika t-shirt. R.I.P Sid Vicious. Sad that such a quite sensitive boy got hooked on Skag but such is life.
Sid Vicious is...Sid Vicious.Nothing more, nothing less.
sounds like shes trying to put on an english accent
same as madonna when she was married to guy ritchie!
Where can you find the whole interview... I want to get it.. and see the whole interview in it's entirey.. shoot... yeah I heard about that poster crazy
sid was a legend from a legendary band. he stood against conformorty and the system plus he was famous. how many rock legends can honestly say they havent done drugs
Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Anderson.
he stood for nothing, he was fucked up and exploited for his image and youth, he had no idea what he was doing.
I'm reading a book about Nancy in school, and this is really hard to understand, that it really happened.. They really were together and hit the bottom.. It's really sad..
Hearing the real Nancy Spungen makes me realize what an incredible job Chloe Webb did in portraying her. The similarities in their voices are unbelievable.

Even though Sid sucked at playing base, he's more notorious an remembered that any of the Pistols, Sid is an icon among the rock, punk and other worlds.
And yeah, Sid was constantly unplugged. Still he had a lot of fun!
this video is so bad ass. its like the best example of a real rock star life
Did you read that story out of a biography? What is is called
Young kids acting like an elderly couple with Alzheimer's...sad, sad story.
Lol! What a legendary fucking bass player.
Sad interview...
i wish people would stop hating on nancy in this specific interview she was only trying to keep him awake so he give a proper interview she was only trying to help sure they might of ruin each others lives but in this interview to be specific she was only trying to help
damn. he cant even speak
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Bravo!!!!
Sid has something attractive..I didn't like those guys before!But it's his attitude...he does whatever he wants,he dies whenever he wants and he lives as long as he wants!I like the fact that he is so out of this world..he is special...LOVE YOU SID
@DivisionJane They did love eachother, I agree. They were both a mess, and were addicts. If you read the poem he wrote about her, you'd know, it was love. It was love at it's best and worst.
Poor Sid man, painful watching this, like he's under a witches spell!
What's with Nancy's on and off fake English accent? She starts off sounding normal then she's like, "Toime and toime and toime again" then later on she says, "Want a cup of cawfee?" WTF?
crazy.
good vid!
I have read a lot of comments on this couple and one thing I do beleive that this is not Nancy's fault that Sid ended up on heroin.If she offered heroin to him all he had to say was NO WAY,FUCK OFF,but he wanted it and if it wasn't Nancy it would of been someone else that would of given it to him!RIP Sid and Nancy
im young(ish)but i find its not the drug use thats idiolistic its the idea of self destruction and love almost poetry for punks
ivve read this whole interview. this is only a small portion of it. it gets really funny
i love how she said "shining out". is that why they said that in the studio scene in the movie?
@Londoleil No he's not racist at all he just wore it to tease people around he's Sid he didn't really give a shit what people thought about him but he just wore it to piss people off and make fun of the symbol
She was like that. I knew the lover of her brother David, and believe me, that family was messed up. Poor Nancy. Didn't have a chance. RIP
sid is the fucking man, MY WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Veins of roads,roads of veins
Smashed on the brick wall,smeared at once
elements of systems,slivers of empire,
Someone,who seemed to be Everything,becomes Nothing
But you and I,
Whole our life
will be together
Like Sid & Nancy,like Sid & Nancy...
None of us will reach old age,
Like Sid & Nancy,like Sid &...
It was the 70s, and swastikas were very fashionable within the very new punk culture. Things were different then, it's now much more fashionable and trendy to wear anti-swastika shirts, even though the kids that wear them know nothing of real politics.
I was searching fir psycho sid vicious . Found this !
I wish there was more footage of them.
im in love with sid fucking vicious.
hes wonderful !
omg !
Cloe Webb plays her so well in Sid & Nancy. The voice is nigh on PERFECT
I saw this footage even before it was released. It is by Lech Kowalski. His initial version of DOA was good but he got all mental over it. Too bad.
Uhhhh.
The reason Sid said so little was because he was so completely fucked up during the interview.
Hence this being called the heroin interview?
ジョニーのことめちゃくちゃ言ってるの良い
McLaren was the one who really encouraged Sid coming into the band coz he liked his look and attitude and he pushed Sid to what he became.
Well put.
Sid Vicious was not an emo at all , he was a true punk .
Let's not point the blame at anyone. No one deserves to go through what they (or their mothers) did.
I think you´re are really right. Yesterday I saw Sid and Nancy film and now I can better imagine these times and their relationship. He was totally manipulated!!!
Nancy lived in London for some time and also, seeing as Sid has such a strong English accent, she probably got some of it from him. Stop hating on her for it...

This is such a sad scene. What's the matter with some of the comments here? Have you no empathy with people who have reached their wall?
Just so sad.
I watched it today!
Been reading up on the Sex Pistols and I have a question--was Nancy the group's Yoko Ono?
For some reason it always bothers me when people talk shit about nancy....for fucks sake they where just 20 and 21,they where just kids!....they never grew up....sad story really
JEEZ!! Watching this interview that i finally notice how GREAT were Chloe Webb doing his part...
@BigBoomRobot It baffles me how people like you can hate Nancy Spungen, even though you never met her, or personally knew her! She's done nothing to you.

sid vicious is the man.
give the guy a break! he lived life how he wanted to, there should be no blame or arguments about whos fault it was. he had a mind of his own and the ability to make his own desicions. he decided to play in one of the best punk bands of all time, he decided to use drugs and whats more he had a fucking good time doing it...
all i can say is long live sid vicious!!
god...
i just wonder if like sid had married someone like 80 armstrong (billie joe armstrongs wife)
if he would still be alive today y'know? the drugs, and nancy..
just ended up killing him in the end. and he left this place way to early...
rest in paradise vicious..
He embodied what some people thought was punk, thats it!
wasnt sid a realy shy person
how can ANY of you say he killed her or she killed him where u there in the hotel chelsea room no i think not half of u werent even born yet n for those who say she killed him um how the hell she did that from the grave? yes maby she was the reason he KILLED HIMSELF cuz of the luv n lonelyness he had but he had a new woman at the time but in his suicide note found in his jacket pocket by his mom read how he luved nancy and wanted to b buried next to his "baby"

I don't think either of them knew how to love anyone. They had a mutual love for smack and were just two fucked-up kids.
Romantacizing them like Romeo and Juliet is sickening to me.
can anyone tell me what are these two saying, in spanish?
it wasnt just the drugs it was sid not being able to play bass it's not all nancys fault but love did kill nirvana and kurt
Sad. So very Sad.
Junkies are junkies. Fame or no fame.
Sad but inevitable.
I think Johnny Rotten is even quoted on saying that Nancy did show Sid the way of heroine.. however it was his own mom who introduced him to heroine and shooting up. He didn't need Nancy though to get heroine. during the last sex pistols show he went and got heroine on his own without nancy..
where can i see that interview?
And I'm also curious, in your opinion, what should her parents had done?
This is probably the first time that I've heard her talk. The actress that was portraying her in Sid and Nancy sounded better.
wasn't this from the sid and nancy movie ?
That is Gary Oldman acting as Sid Vicous. Probably an outtake from Sid and Nancy
sid was a punk rock king nancy was a broken queen
nancy is trying her best to help, its not like she's not completely slammed in the video also, at least she can handle her shit, unlike the this "VICIOUS" sid, SID VICIOUS RULES, but there is nothing that i can learn from this wasted kid. i cant even make out a sentance, and it just a little sad.

Does anybody know what was up with Sid wearing the swastika?
