Freddie Mercury mentioned in interview with Sid Vicious and John Lydon

Thought you might be interested to hear what Mr Ferocious once had to say about Freddie.

What a bunch of pretentious pricks. They sound like Bad News.

What an absolute and utter shit. Sid Vicious had about as much talent as a dead badger.

Edit: Thanks for sharing this, btw.

Sid was a talentless piece of shit (and probably a murderer) - and I'm writing it as a HUGE Sex Pistols fan

Part of his persona consisted on hating everything and everybody, so the fact he said that doesn't necessarily mean that's how he felt.

I know Ian Anderson didn't like Freddie's voice... well, I do, so I couldn't care less if he does as well or not :D That doesn't diminish my respect for either Pistols or Tull.

I think the Sex Pistols are the fakest punk band ever, their members are complete and total jerks with no brains and no talent and their songs suck. I'll take, say, The Clash over them any day of the week. Any insult by any of them seems a compliment to me.

In the words of Roger Taylor, 'Sid was an a moron, you know. He was an idiot!'

The Pistols were trying to have fun. The Clash were trying to change the world via music.

That's what I thought lol

What pisses me off is the person EATING and SMACKING throughout the entire interview!

This is what happens when "artists" believe their own hype.

Wasnt he part of malcolms hype/boyband?

Sid was nothing as an artist. But, The Sex Pistols as a band, and John Lydon, are great.

Not sure about that. Definitely influential, but horrible musicians, a manufactured band designed to provoke controversy and a short self life. Sort of like a horrible boy band used to gain the teenage girl market except they were used to gain the disenfranchised Brit youth market.
