Sid Vicious

Sid Vicious, born John Simon Ritchie (10 May 1957 – 2 February 1979), was an English bass guitarist and member of the influential punk group, the Sex Pistols. Vicious's actual abilities as a bass player were debated. Yet a couple of associates both claim that one night, he played along to the first Ramones album nonstop, all night, and next morning, Sid could play the bass. During the chaotic ascendancy of the Sex Pistols, Vicious met  girlfriend Nancy Spungen and entered a destructive codependent relationship that centered around drug use. This culminated in Spungen's death from an apparent stab wound. Under suspicion of her murder, Vicious was released on bail. Then at a party held by his mother, Vicious died in his sleep having overdosed on heroin his mother had procured.

Anarchy in the bass clef.
