An amazing 70s punk band thats members included John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten, the singer - an artistic, yet brilliant, anarchist who was all about having his own style; Steve Jones, the guitarist - an
ex-burglar who only cared about getting laid; Paul Cook, the drummer - a timid longtime friend of Steve Jones; and Glenn Matlock, the bassist - a mama'
s boy Beatles fan. Matlock was eventually replaced with Rotten'
s old friend and the Sex Pistols' biggest fan John Simon Ritchie also known as Sid Vicious. Vicious'
s bass skills were limited, because he taught himself one night while on
speed, playing with a Ramones album. After meeting Nancy Spungeon, Vicious became a herion addict, and after Nancy'
s murder, Vicious was to blame, although most believe Vicious was innocent. Vicious died of an overdose just several months after Nancy'
s murder.
