Sid Vicious is known as the image of punk rock. Although The Sex PIstols had already released their trademark punk music and began touring, Vicious has been quoted as the image upon his arrival to the band.
He was one of the most influential bass players to hit the punk rock genre. The ironic part being, Sid couldn’t actually play Bass. Sid’s bandmates were known to unplug Sid’s bass during their gigs. Sid was completely aware of this and has been quoted as saying he didn’t know how to play.
Sid Vicious had his life cut short when he dies of a heroin overdose at the age of 21. It is believed that his mother gave him the heroin that would kill him. Whether or not she knew it was going to be used for an overdose is not clear.
The original Bass Guitarist of The Sex Pistols, Glen Matlock, was replaced by Sid after he left the band.
Maybe Sid may have had better luck playing if he had some D'Addario Bass Strings
