I really enjoyed this video of Sid it has his friends he met way before he was a sex pistol to friends during his short post-Nancy years.

Having read and seen about all there is to have on the sex pistols, i figure i know quite a bit about the whole band.Now, Sid, was the end all superhero of the sex pistols. Johnny rotten definately was the front man, is very intelligent,( i love his books and interviews), but when it all came down, Sid ended up being almost the face of punk rock. The story of Sid and Nancy has been made into a type of historical fairytale romance, even though, it is a very sad story culminating in both of their deaths, but Sid especially lives on to this day.This can be evidenced by the price of sid vicious memorabilia, as well as the abundance of albums, posters, dolls, etc. with Sid portrayed much more than any other member of the group.
This movie, i must say is probably the most accurate portrayal of Sid, besides the movie"Who killed Nancy". I love how this movie goes so indepth into Sid's life it has alot of never seen before interviews with some of the closest people in his life, rare live songs (on the included audio CD), live footage, just about everything. I have repeatedly watched this video. I absolutely love it that much.
Now, this movie is a different regional format, so unless you have a dvd player with all formats able to be read and played, or as in my case, i have a mac pro that automatically reads and plays every format.So, if you get this movie, make sure you can switch formats on your player.
All in all, without giving away the whole movie, i just want to say that i highly recommend this movie to any Sid Vicious fan. I would also like to recommend the other aforementioned movie. with both of these movies, you wil have a true knowledge of Sid. Also, like I said before, this movie also comes with an audio cd with rare live tracks. I only wish this movie were a bit longer. i just can't get enough of it.
