Here's one of the great performances of all time. I like Sid Vicous' tough-guy sociopath posturing, which culminates in gunning down members of the audience, including his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. It should be mentioned that Sid, whose real name was Simon Ritchie, copped his nom du punk from John Lydon's pet hamster, and was always described as a sweetheart and pussycat by all his friends. On the other hand, he did stab his girlfriend, which gives him a little hardass cred.
