I don’t believe Sid murdered Nancy. Whether she was killed by accident in which he was involved who would know and suspect we never will.
I always thought Sid could have had a great solo career IF managed properly. My Way, C’mon Everybody were great singles and a sign of what may have been.
As I have said many times on here Billy Idol had Sid’s solo career.

Great acting from Oldman other than that it's complete tosh.
Swindle is a film I have mixed feelings about. There are some great moments of the actual band and as a film that was lit(t)erally cobbled together by Julian Temple it's a miracle it got finished. What really irks me though is Julian had better film all along and some of those clips ended up in The Filth & The Fury and the Huddersfield Xmas day doc. What fans really want is to see all the raw footage that Julian has and not some old clips of social decay in 70's Britain. What all these writers and film makers seem to forget was that punk/The Clash/Sex Pistols et all were our escape from that shit. Yes they sang about confronting your life head on but it was the rock 'n' roll that gave that it's voice not the other way around. Snobs like Jon Savage just don't fucking get this at all. Historically all very significant as to why those bands sang about their (ours) shit stuation but the reality of the times was really no fun. Who needs reminding of the 3-day working week/power cuts/strikes etc. It's no wonder kids turned the new romantics for escapism. Just like the previous generation did with glam rock. Punk was responsible for some amazing music and ideas but boy such a lot of bullshit also.

Re: Sid And Nancy Soundtrack
So I watched Sid And Nancy again last night. Bit cringeworthy in parts but was OK. I thought the depictition of John (apart from the opening scenes) wasn’t bad.
Who was Rock Head supposed to be, Iggy Pop? The scene at the hotel was the Inverness Court Hotel in Inverness Terrace. Not sure if the events in the scene are real but it never happened there but Ten Pole Tudor refers to Lilly Langtree being a former resident which is true. Fact and fiction confused???

Re: Sid And Nancy Soundtrack
My understanding is that that whole scene was invented and, right, Rock Head was a substitute for Iggy or perhaps even Lou Reed. In terms of moving the story along, I don't know what the scene adds.101Walterton wrote: ↑11 Aug 2018, 5:55pmWho was Rock Head supposed to be, Iggy Pop?

Rock Head is just a fictional character. Iggy Pop has a small (blink and you'll miss it) cameo in the movie. He plays a "Prospective Guest" at the hotel.101Walterton wrote: ↑11 Aug 2018, 5:55pmSo I watched Sid And Nancy again last night. Bit cringeworthy in parts but was OK.

Re: Sid And Nancy Soundtrack
There are so many subtle funny moments in that movie. Like the follow up to the "Rod Stewart at 2:00" scene where Sid and Wally pretend to shoot the limo. In a later scene, we see the limo again and Sid shouts "alright, Rod!" A blink and miss it moment.

Re: Sid And Nancy Soundtrack
I've listened to that over and over and he doesn't say "Rod" the second time when they jetison Nancy's bag very strange. That guy (Rock Head) is definitely more like Thunders than Iggy. And Thunders was around in the UK at that time while Iggy was in the states.
Nancy "wonking off" great stuff! I have to say Chloe Webb is also really great in that movie especially as they had Courtney Love on hand who desperately wanted the part. But the part where they both do the heroin for the first time and Sid gets sick is dumb as Sid had already been taking heroin much earlier prior to meeting Nancy.

Did you guys know there's two characters in Britten's Albert Herring opera named Sid and Nancy? That seems like a craaaaaazy coincidence to me.

Re: Sid And Nancy Soundtrack
Oddly it sounds like he is saying "Rab" maybe it just got a bit jumbled and it's meant to be "Rod" as the previous scene you mentioned. Obviously a put down on whoever is meant to be in that car as a big rock star.JennyB wrote: ↑15 Aug 2018, 2:51pmChloe Webb is astonishing in that movie.

Re: Sid And Nancy Soundtrack
Marky are you talking about the same clip as Jenny?
Jenny was talking about the limo with blacked out windows not the car in the scene where Nancy is in the limo on way to buy drugs and they church her stuff out.
Sid says Rod both times they see it.

Yes the same scene. The second time they see the car just as it speeds away after Nancy's bag is jettisoned. He does not say Rod and I've been checking my DVD and I've played it over and over he seems to say Rab or Rad.101Walterton wrote: ↑15 Aug 2018, 3:30pmMarky are you talking about the same clip as Jenny?
