Title: PORTRAIT OF THE IDIOT AS A YOUNG MAN
Product review: This C.D. is a fabulous collector's item...as for being a listenable piece of work, well...that it's not. Let's face it...Sid was never a singer...Nancy (Satan) convinced him that he was...just like she drove him to the spike habit which killed him. Hell, Sid wasn't even a bassist...he was a haircut and a sneer. If you want good post-Pistols work from an original member of the group (any Pistols fan worth his/her safety pins knows that Sid was not an original Pistol), check out Public Image Ltd...John never got boring. If, however, you are looking for a window into the punk rock scene circa 1979 and how the New York influence destroyed a 23-year-old Bowie fan by the name of John Simon Ritchie (nicknamed Sid Vicous, after John's hamster)...this is the album for you...indispensable and bloody unlistenable.
