Was Sid Vicious a Nazi?

[chaoticconformity]

no not at all when punk first started out it was all about just to offend and stand out it has changed alot as u can tell

[caen]

It was about being shocking and offensive... From what I've read he held no political beliefs... Here's an awesome webpage on the use of the swastika in early punk.

Punk and the Swastika

Always curious about that picture, I knew they weren't racist...but thanks for the link, it's very interesting to read.

Old school punks like Sid just used Nazi imagery to piss people off. It kinda backfired when REAL Nazi punks started coming into the scene.

I don't know why anyone would bother to slam music that's over thirty years old. For its time, the Sex Pistols stirred things up. They seemed more intense then than they really were...a warmed-over rehash of The Who in window dressing by Malcolm McClaren. In hindsight, yeah, they were kinda prefabricated like the Monkees. But, they were still pretty good and the lyrics have aged better.

good and very fitting comparison, keith moon, the who's drummer, enjoyed walking around in german uniforms and doing the german salute in front of the audience. i think he and sid had serious issues and that very special british background just asking for a cheap thrill.

He was about as shocking as Shirley Temple....who gives a fuck? What would shock me would be some punks blowing up the fucking cross in the Valley Of The Fallen, instead of shooting heroin and being a media seeking primma donna waste of human space wearing a swastika.....oooooh so shocking

Why would people worship so much someone who was just a kid? Why do they try so hard to justify him? Would any of the people defending him so much also defend a regular 21 year old junkie? If not, why discriminate like that?.

Age doesn't matter. This is punk, what else do you expect

[BlackParad0x]

i was surfing on the net and i just saw sid vicious with an nazi symbol and many other people having tatoos of it (on punkrockers).
can you explain that.


p.s: whats the different in punk rock and punk?

[AgentOrange]

use search: "was sid vicious a nazi?", this topic may explain your question...

ps: punk rock is like punk, but with more rock to it!

[Miss Pessimistic]

Punks are only racist if they want to be.

[Devotchka]

Sid did it so it would shock.

[CrassHole]

Stupid boneheads and a few others are. Alot of people like Sid did it for shock purpose, and there is even a couple old photos of the Misfits drummer with a Swastika shirt, but It says "Fuck Nazis" on the bottom

[punkmar77]

I feel like we've already answered you about this and now you're just trying to stir up a bee's nest...which is bullshit.

Most punks are actually reverse racists.

Care to illuminate us on this most ridiculous statement?

[Bentheanarchist]

He and his girlfriend were dumb.
They did not do anything important, but inject themselves with heroin all day, and die.

[punkmetalhead]

Fuck the pistols. fuckin' posers. punk is about politics not being offensive and shocking

[ViciousCesar!]

Not racist. Just ignorant, unintelligent, overrated and a disgrace to the 'Vicious' name.
