Taken from Rotten.com: ------------------------------------------------------------ Sid Vicious Sid was allegedly the bassist for the Sex Pistols, though he was never recorded in the studio and was usually unplugged when playing on stage. His favorite things included his best friend Johnny Rotten until their band broke up, his girl Nancy until he stabbed her to death with a hunting knife, and heroin until his tragicomic overdose at the age of 21. Anti-celebrity incarnate, he still died like a stupid f**king rockstar, wondering why no one was paying him lots of money to shoot drugs, swear, and try to be clever for cameras that had long since lost interest. Rotten.com spiritualists have received a special beyond-the-grave message from Sid to all of those hordes of alienated white boys who would give anything in the world to become that most mysterious of archetypes- the famous, nihilist punk rocker: "A$ LONG AS EYE LIVE WITHIN U, PUNKZ NOT DED!@# F*CK 'THE QUEEN!'" Timeline 10 May 1957 John Simon Ritchie born, London, England. 1975 Meets John Lydon. Feb 1977 Original Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock is fired from the band. At Lydon's suggestion, they start looking for a new bassist in Sid Vicious. 4 Apr 1977 Plays his first real live show with the Sex Pistols! Nov 1977 Meets ex-prostitute and Sex Pistols groupie Nancy Spungen. Jan 1978 The Sex Pistols travel to America and play a whirlwind 8-show tour. 14 Jan 1978 The Sex Pistols perform their final show, Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco. 12 Oct 1978 Girlfriend Nancy Spungen found dead in their room at the Chelsea Hotel, New York City. 2 Feb 1979 Dead of a heroin overdose.

I've always considered Sid the front man...

I read somewhere that Sid wasn't ever at a studio recording for the Sex Pistols and he only pretended to play on stage...Any truth to this? ::

Good try with the Richard/Ra McGuire thing, Edna! You still a point for it...oh and nope, it's not the Kinks (you get one point for that too)...if no one else gets it in a little while, I'll give a hint. Standings: earth-angel: 31 brad: 26 edna: 22 syd: 13 elvish: 5

I love "Light My Fire" but I find it a tad too long. Did they shorten it for radio when it came out?

Well, your definately right about the Ginger Baker picture! It's him when he was really really young. But as to the Richard Mcguire thing...I know him as Ra Mcguire from Trooper...one in the same? Get back to me on that edna! But for now, here's the new picture: What band?

nevermind, Old edited it

your names there brad, is it not?

I say as long as we keep listening to RNR when it was pure and still stuck it to the man, then we don't need to worry too much about the future of it :guitar:

~Music Reunited~ All those sad old love songs have just come out to play and all those hard rock anthems have come to meet the day Songs that tell a story would like to have shot the boy band generation has finally come to a screeching stop Hippies and their tunes will start to flood the streets Songs that have strong messages yearn to have a world that's nice and neat Bands of today and yesterday will all go down as one As music moves to the horizon, towards the setting sun. This is just about how I think music is taking a turn, either for the better or worse. Maybe an end to a generation of music...I'm not really sure actually...

It would definately make a cool punk kinda song...good stuff!

Steve Tyler and Aerosmith? hahahahahaa no clue, I'm totally guessing here...but sounds like it was an interesting concert...

Oh, OK I understand now...thats one hell of a "theroy". ::

Yep, the 2nd picture is Sublime! Pool Shark is my favorite Sublime song. Anyone got a clue of the other 2? No hints yet... earth-angel: 31 brad: 26 edna: 15 syd: 13 elvish: 5

Good call elvish! earth-angel: 31 brad: 21 edna: 15 syd: 13 elvish: 5 Whose this? and since I'm going to be gone for the weekend, I'll post 2 more pictures right now... Picture B: Picture C:

I thought that the " Father I want to kill you" thing is part of something Freud said around these lines: When your young you want to have sex with the parent of the opposite gender and kill the parent of the same gender ::. Hence: Mother I want to f*ck you, Father I want to kill you. Thats just what I read somewhere though.

Edna! You're catching up! earth-angel: 31 brad: 21 edna: 15 syd: 13 Who is he?

Question A: A Charity benefit for cancer or something?

This is a really good one, but it doesn't have a variety of dead muscians...only 8. Rock n' Roll Heaven

I love the Donny Osmond version! I have it on tape and I think it's just awesome. I've loved it for as long as I can remember. When I was younger I used to have every song memorized. Jacob! Jacob and sons! Hahahaha, the only religious story I enjoy.

Nice one Edna! earth-angel: 31 brad: 21 edna: 10 syd: 13 Who is this?

I know that Sid Vicious killed his groupie girlfriend Nancy, but that's about the depth of it that I know. Anyone know alot about this? Or is it even true? It's all a bit foggy for me! Thanks!

It's odd because most Canadians know of him and he's got some fame up here in the Great White North. He even played a concert in my little town of Pembroke, Ontario. But I'm pretty sure that was just because his drummer is from here Most of my friends have seen him in concert...I still love his first song "Brother Down". He is awesome
