Sid Vicious was a terrible bassist. The Sex Pistols had to do this to keep him from ruining their shows.

Sid Vicious (real name: John Simon Ritchie) was the last member to join the notorious band the Sex Pistols in 1977.

He came on as the bassist after they fired their original one. Vicious wasn't a particularly talented musician though.

In fact, he was so bad that his bandmates would often unplug his amplifier while he was playing onstage.

He did have a rockstar attitude though. He embodied punk. Vicious started dating an American girl named Nancy Spungen. They were very much in love but not very good for one another.

Their joint heroin addiction often lead to bouts of violence between them. Spungen was stabbed to death in October 1978 in a series of mysterious circumstances. Vicious died of a heroin overdose in February 1979.
