Sid Vicious: hayi ukuba unetalente kwaye mhlawumbi ungumbulali

USid Vicious wayeyimvumi yepunk rock eyayiyinxalenye yeqela iSex Pistols. Wayengenaso isiphiwo kwaye wayesaziwa ngokuziphatha kwakhe okubi. Wabanjelwa ukubulala intombi yakhe uNancy Spungen.

Ukuba sasihleli kwi-1990s yokuqala ye-teen sitcom ngexesha lesifundo sesikolo esiphakamileyo malunga nembali yomculo waseBritani kwaye ndandinikwe umsebenzi wokubonelela ngengxelo ye-Sex Pistols' bassist kunye ne-extremism incarnate, uSid Vicious, ingxelo exeliweyo iya kuqala ngenkcazo ye amagama amabini. Okokuqala, besiya kuqala 'ngepunk' - umntu onomdla okanye umdlali wepunk rock, ebonakala ngeenwele ezinemibala ephothiweyo kunye nempahla ehonjiswe ngezikhonkwane zokhuseleko okanye iizip. Igama lesibini kuya kufuneka libe 'yi-psychopath' - umntu onesifo sengqondo esingapheliyo kunye nokuziphatha okungaqhelekanga okanye ubundlobongela ekuhlaleni. Apha, sijonga emva kubomi obunezothe, obungathandekiyo nobungazinzanga bukaJohn Simon Ritchie, nokwaziwa njengepunk yanaphakade uSid Vicious.

URitchie wazalelwa kumazantsi eLondon kwidolophu yaseLewisham nguJohn no-Anne Ritchie nge-10 kaMeyi, 1957. Umama wakhe, u-Anne, wazifumanela umsebenzi weRAF emva kwexesha elidanisayo esikolweni, ngelixa utata wakhe, uJohn, wayengunogada esikolweni. IBuckingham Palace kunye nomdlali we-semi-professional we-jazz trombone. Kungekudala emva kokufika komntwana wabo omtsha, u-Anne wathatha uJohn Jr ukuba ahlale e-Ibiza, apho babeza kuxhaswa kwaye ekugqibeleni bajoyine kwisiqithi nguJohn Snr - kodwa oku akuzange kube njalo.

Xa iitshekhi u-Anne wayenethemba lokufika zahluleka ukufikelela kwi-doormat yabo yaseBalearic, u-Anne wayesaba ukuba uJohn Snr akayi kujoyina intsapho. Wayechanekile ngokulusizi kwingcinga yakhe kwaye ngokukhawuleza wafudusela usapho lwakhe oluncinci eKent, apho waphinda watshata noChris Beverley. Yayilinyathelo awayeza kulivuma uJohn oselula njengoko wayegcina igama likayise kwaye ehlonipha utata wakhe omtsha ngokwamkela ifani yakhe ukuba abe nguJohn Beverley.

Elinye lawona maxesha abalulekileyo kubomi buka-Ritchie senzeka xa uChristopher Beverley wasweleka kwiinyanga ezintandathu kamva ngumhlaza, kwaye ngo-1968, uRitchie nomama wakhe behlala kwiflethi erentwayo eTunbridge Wells. Kulapho uRitchie wayefunda khona kwiSikolo seNkundla yaseSandown. Ngo-1971, umama nonyana bafudukela eHackney kwimpuma yeLondon. Wachitha ixesha elithile ehlala eClevedon, eSomerset.

Ubunzima bokukhula okukhathazayo babusele bunzima kuRitchie. Utyekelo lokuzibulala lwaluyinxalenye yobomi bakhe kangangexesha elithile. Xa i-bassist yexesha elizayo yayifunda kwiKholeji yaseKingsway kubantwana abanzima nabagxothiweyo, u-Ritchie wakhethwa ngumcebisi emva kokukhankanya ukuzibulala ngexesha leengxoxo zabo ezifutshane. Umcebisi ucele uRitchie ukuba eze nomhlobo kwiseshoni, kwaye uJohn Wardle (AKA Jah Wobble) wahamba kunye nokuhleka, njengoko abantwana besikolo esiphakamileyo bavame ukwenza. Xa umcebisi wachazela uWardle ukuba uRitchie uceba ukuzibulala, uWardle waqhula esithi mhlawumbi unokuzibulala. Endaweni yokuhleka kunye nomhlobo wakhe, u-Ritchie wanqwala intloko yakhe ngesidima esimnyama esoyikisa uWardle kuye kanye. Icala elimnyama leSid lalisele liqalisile ukubuyisela intloko yalo embi. Enyanisweni, wayeza kufumana kuphela ukukhanya ebomini bakhe xa wadibana noJohn Lydon kwi-1973.

Ukujikeleza kunye neli qela, kwakusoloko kusenzeka ukuba i-Vicious iphelele kwibhendi. Kanye nokonwabela iiseshini zokuncokola kunye noLydon, ukucula iingoma zikaAlice Cooper de abantu bazihlawule ukuba bavale umlomo, uVicious wayekufutshane nokuba yinxalenye yoovulindlela abakhulu bepunk. Ngelixa wayesabelana ngeqonga noSiouxsie Sioux kwiklabhu yakhe eyi-iconic eyi-100, uVicious wayephantse waba yimvumi ephambili yeThe Damned, kodwa iqela lakhetha uDave Vanian emva kokuba uVicious enqabile ukuya kuphicotho. Yaqala inzondo angasoze ayilibale uVicious.

Nangona uVanian wayengenanto yakwenza nokuzikhethela yena njengemvumi ekhokelayo yebhendi, uVicious wambamba ngendelelo ngonaphakade. Enyanisweni, ngexesha le-100 club punk show, i-Vicious enxilisayo yajolisa iglasi entloko kaVanian kwaye wayisungula kwisihlwele. I-Vanian elahlekileyo, iglasi yaphuka kwintsika ngasemva kweqonga kwaye emva koko yamfanyekisa intombazana emsulwa. Esi siganeko sabangela ukuba uVicious abanjwe aze avalelwe entolongweni. Yayingayi kuba lixesha lokugqibela ebona ngaphakathi kwesisele. Nangona kunjalo, le brashi kunye nomthetho ayizange iwumise umsebenzi wakhe womculo ukuba ukhawuleze. Ngapha koko, ngeentsuku zokuqala zepunk, xa yayidlala ngamandla okudala kunye nenjongo ekhohlakeleyo, izenzo ezinje nge-Vicious 'pint-jusi ayizange yamkelwe nje kuphela kodwa iphumelele. Yayifuzisela umntu ongacinezelekanga ozimiseleyo ukufuna impindezelo kwaye enze izinto ngokudelela nangona abona kufanelekile. Yayiyeyona nto wayeyijonga uMalcolm McLaren.

Nangona kunjalo, uGlen Matlock, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, wayekuphela komntu owayenomculo wokwenyani kwiiPistols zeSex, wayeza kujongana neziphumo. Umakhi weengoma ezininzi zeqela kunye nomdlali kuphela kwiqela onokuma kunye namanye amaqela e-rock anamhlanje; ukubeka ngokulula, wayemalunga naye kuphela owayekwazi ukudlala ngokufanelekileyo. KuMcLaren, yayisisikwere kakhulu. Wamkhupha uMatlock kwiqela lomculo waza wafaka uSid Vicious, ubuso obutsha bepunk. Umanejala weSex Pistols wake wathi: Ukuba uJohnny Rotten lilizwi lepunk, ngoko Ububi sisimo sengqondo. Wajoyina ibhendi ngoFebruwari 1977 kwaye wafumana ithuba lakhe lokuqala eqongeni kwiScreen on the Green ngoAprili 1977.

Kwakukho ingxaki enye enkulu yebhendi, nangona kunjalo: uSid wayengakwazi ukudlala. Asithethi ukuba wayengenguye uJohn Entwistle kwi-bass okanye akazange ahambelane noMatlock, ndithetha ukuba wayengakwazi ukudlala inqaku kwisixhobo. Ngokutsho kwekatala yePistols uSteve Jones, uVicious urekhodwa kuphela kwingoma enye yeSex Pistols, 'Imizimba,' kwaye nalapho, uphelelwe kumculo, enyanzela uJones ukuba adlale ngokugqithisileyo ngokudlala kwakhe. Yintoni eyona nto imbi ngakumbi kukuba akazange azikhathaze ngokufunda, nangona bobabini uJones kunye ne-Motorhead legend uLemmy uzama ukumfundisa.

Iinyani zazisele zikho ukuze wonke umntu azibone, ngaphandle kokuba nesiphiwo esigqithisileyo kubugcisa bokugculela, uSid Vicious wayengenaso isiphiwo. Ngaphezu koko, icala lakhe elimnyama lalisele lihambile ekuzicenteni kwaye laliqala ukuzibonakalisa njengogqabhuko-dubulo.

U-Nick Kent, owaziwayo ngokucaphukisa kwihlabathi le-punk, weva ingqumbo ye-Vicious ngobunye ubusuku kwi-100 Club. UKent wayeyintatheli ye-NME kwaye wayekhe waziqhelanisa neePistols ngaphambi kokuba iqela lihambe noLydon njenge-frontman. Inyani enokuba negalelo ekubetheni kukaKent eLydon kumculo ngeveki. UKent uye wajonga kwipistols gig kwiklabhu yesitalato iOxford wafumana uVicious ekwimo embi. Xa intatheli icela uVicious ukuba asuke endleleni yakhe, umdlali we-bassist wabetha ityathanga lebhayisekile kwidyasi yakhe waza wambethelela entloko izihlandlo ezithathu, ebukele igazi litshiza iindonga emva kwakhe. Nangona intatheli ibibanga ukuba ayikhange ibebuhlungu ncam, amazinyo kaVicious alolwe ngowesibini.

Ngelishwa, i-Vicious ilandele indlela ye-psychopathic stereotypical njengoko engazange azenzakalisa yena kunye nabanye kodwa nezilwanyana ezingenakuzikhusela nazo. Enyanisweni, xa umculi webhesi wayehlala noLydon kunye nabanye ababini bakaJohn kwesi squat esikhankanywe ngasentla xa kuthiwa akazange avule kuphela ngeetoti ezindala kodwa wakrwitsha ikati ngebhanti lakhe. Uyise kaLydon ukhumbula iindlela zikaVicious zokufuna ingqalelo: Ukuba wayehleli apha kwaye akukho mntu wayemqaphela, wayesike isandla sakhe okanye into yokutsala ingqalelo. Kuya kufuneka ukhuphe ingqondo yakho kuyo yonke enye into kwaye ujonge kuye.

Mhlawumbi wayemnye kuphela umntu owakha wamnika ingqalelo awayeyidinga: uNancy Spungen. Umhlobo kaJohnny Thunders kunye eyaziwayo-New York groupie , uSpungen kunye noVicious banandipha uthando oluvuthuzayo oluzaliswe ngama-gutters, iigita kunye nokuphakama-yayiyi-punk rock idyll. Ihlala ichazwa ngokunika i-heroin eNcincisayo okokuqala (nangona wayengumntu okhutheleyo osebenzisa yonke into ngaphambili), ngelishwa uSpungen wayeya kuba lelinye ixhoba lokuzixakekisa ngoVicious kunye ne-asethi yakhe esebenzayo-ubundlobongela.

U-Vicious wayesaziwa ngokuxhaphaza uSpungen izihlandlo ezininzi ngaphambi kokubhubha kwakhe. Imvumi, njengabaxhaphazi abaninzi, yasebenzisa uSpungen njengebhegi yokubetha xa esokola eyakhe imiba. Umzimba kaSpungen wawuhlaselwe ngenkohlakalo ngexesha labo kunye kwaye waba mbi ngakumbi xa i-Sex Pistols yahlukana kakuhle kwaye yashiya i-Vicious, indoda enetalente encinci yomculo, ngaphandle kwesikhokelo sokungena. Nangona kunjalo, uSpungen wayeza kuba ngumphathi wakhe kunye ne I-duo ingazama ukufumana indlela yomsebenzi kumntu owayesakuba yi-bassist.

Noko ke, loo ngcamango yayiza kufikelela esiphelweni ngentsasa yango-Oktobha 12, 1978. UVicious wavuka ebuthongweni waza wabona ithontsi legazi elaliphuma kuye lisiya kwigumbi lokuhlambela laloo hotele. Wathi xa evula ucango wafumana uSpungen efile enenxeba lemela emathunjini akhe. UVicious wafowunela idesika engaphambili waza wabalumkisa ngale ngozi. Ngeli xesha, uVicious wayezulazula kwiiholo zesakhiwo elila eziphosa ezindongeni, exelela ummelwane ukuba ndimbulele… andinakuphila ngaphandle kwakhe… Unokuba wawela phezu kwemela.

Yingxelo evakala ibubudenge ngokupheleleyo. Inokwenzeka njani into enje? Ngokuqinisekileyo nguSid owayenoxanduva? Ewe, kukho izinto ezimbalwa ekufuneka uziqwalasele. Okokuqala, kwimeko yabo yokunxila (kwaye babesoloko benxilile), ingozi efana nale yayinokwenzeka kakuhle ngaphandle kolwazi lukaVicious okanye, emva koko, ngaphambi nje kokuba abe mnyama. Ngokulinganayo, igumbi lehotele lalisoloko lixhaphakile ngabathengisi abaninzi ngobo busuku, bonke beshiya iminwe yabo kwigumbi kunye ne-1,500 yeedola ezibiweyo. Kuyacaca ukuba uSpungen wayebanjiswe kumlilo wequbula.

Kubecuphi, yayinye kuphela indoda eyayisemgceni wokubulala—uSid Vicious. I-bassist yabanjwa ngokukhawuleza ngokubulala kwakhe kwaye amapolisa aziva eqinisekile ukuba anendoda efanelekileyo. Abagxeki abaninzi bokukhomba umnwe baya kuthi u-Vicious wayemthanda uSpungen, ukuba wayeyihlabathi lakhe, ukuba akanakuze amlimaze. Kodwa xa utshata kungekuphela nje elakhe ladlulayo elimnyama, okanye ukubulala kwakhe isilwanyana esingakwaziyo ukuzikhusela ngokubethwa kwakhe ngogonyamelo eSpungen (kubandakanya impumlo eyaphukileyo kunye nendlebe ekrazukileyo), kulula kakhulu ukubona ukuba i-bassist inokuba njani embindini we-bassist. esi siganeko, wade wanika amapolisa iingxelo ezimbini ezahlukeneyo ngorhatya, okokuqala evuma ukuba wamgwaza kwaye engathethi ukumbulala aze angakhumbuli nto.

Amagqwetha e-Vicious (ekuxelwe ukuba ahlawulelwe nguMick Jagger) aye aqiniseka ngakumbi ukuba imvumi ayizukuya entolongweni ngenxa yokubulawa kukaSpungen. KuSid, nangona kunjalo, idayi yayisele iphonswe kwaye wayengekakulungeli ukuqhubeka kobu bomi ngaphandle kukaNancy. Ngomhla we-22 ka-Okthobha, umdlali we-bassist wazama ukuzibulala ngokuqhawula izandla zakhe ngesibane esiphukileyo. Walaliswa esibhedlele apho waphinda wazama ukuzibulala, kwesi isihlandlo ezama ukutsiba efestileni ekhwaza esithi ndifuna ukuba noNancy wam! Kwacaca ukuba ubomi bukaVicious njengoko wayesazi ukuba sele buphelile.

Kwinyanga elandelayo, uVicious wenza udliwano-ndlebe apho wacebisa ukuba ukufa kukaSpungen kwakumele kwenzeke, esithi: UNancy wayesoloko esithi uya kufa ngaphambi kokuba abe neminyaka engama-21 ubudala. UVicious wabuza ngokuzithoba ukuba uyadlala waza wongezelela ngelithi unokukhetha ukuba phantsi komhlaba. USid wayecofe iqhosha lokuzitshabalalisa.

Njengomnye umzuzu owongezelelweyo wobundlobongela, u-Vicious wahlasela u-Todd Smith, umzalwana kaPatti Smith, emva kokuba uSmith ecele u-Vicious ukuba ashiye i-band Skafish's roadie yedwa. Engaphoswanga ngaphaya koko, uVicious watyumza ibhotile yeglasi yebhiya ebusweni bakhe wathumela uSmith esibhedlele. UVicious wayephinda ebuyela entolongweni kwaye isikhonkwane sokugqibela sasilolwa.

I-Vicious yafumana i-detox yeentsuku ze-55 kwaye yakhululwa ngebheyile ngoFebruwari 1st 1979, kunye neeVirgin Records kuthiwa ibeka uninzi lwebhondi yakhe. Ukunyanzeliswa kwe-detox kwisiqithi saseRikers akuzange kuthintele i-Vicious kwaye umdla wakhe we-heroin wawukhule kuphela ngexesha lokuhamba kwakhe. Ngethamsanqa, wacwangcisa itheko elincinci eManhattan ukubhiyozela ukwenza kwakhe ibheyile kunye nomhlobo wakhe uPeter Kodick kunye nomama wakhe u-Anne Beverley bafika kwishindig, umkhwa we-heroin okhohlakeleyo wawulungiselelwe kakuhle.

Ewe, kunjalo-umama wakhe. U-Anne Beverley wayengumsebenzisi owaziwayo. Ecinga ukuba wasebenzisa ibhulukhwe kaSid encinci ukuthubelezisa iibhloko zehashi ukusuka eSpain ukuya eNgilani xa uVicious wayelusana, uBeverley wade wanika i-heroin yebhesi ngosuku lokuzalwa kwakhe noMalcolm McLaren esithi wamthubelezisa i-heroin kwiSiqithi saseRikers naye. Emva kokuba i-heroin esulungekileyo ifikile ngoPeter Gravelle, itheko laqala ukwehla kwaye lamshiya uSid kunye neheroin eseleyo kukhathalelo lukaBeverley. UMcLaren uthi uBeverley unike unyana wakhe iheroin ngobo busuku kuba wayesazi ukuba uya kubuthiya ubomi entolongweni. UBeverley wafumana unyana wakhe efile ngentsasa elandelayo.

Emva kokusweleka kukaVicious, uBeverley wabanga ukuba unyana wakhe ebegqibezela indima yakhe yesivumelwano sokuzibulala awabelana ngaso noSpungen esithi ufumene inqaku kwibhatyi yakhe yesikhumba efundeka ngolu hlobo: Sasinesivumelwano sokufa, kwaye kufuneka ndigcine isiqingatha sam. yentengiselwano. Ndicela undingcwabe ecaleni komntanam. Ndingcwabe kwibhatyi yam yesikhumba, ijean kunye neebhutsi zesithuthuthu. Sala kakuhle. Nangona uDeborah Spungen, unina kaNancy, ekhanyela isicelo, u-Beverley kunye no-Misfits 'uJerry Kuphela, baqhubela engcwabeni likaNancy kwaye basasaza uthuthu lwe-bassist, baya kuthi, ngandlela-thile, babe kunye.

Umfanekiso oqingqiweyo kaSid Vicious unzima ukuwushukumisa. Uyinkwenkwe yepowusta ye-punk ye-archetypal kwaye, ukuba uye walandela uhlobo ixesha elide, kunokwenzeka ukuba uye walinganisa iinwele zakhe ezibukhali okanye unxibe intsimbi yomqala okanye wanxiba isithuko sakhe esinebhatyi yesikhumba. Kodwa ngelixa sonke sinokudlala sinxibe kwaye sonwabele ubundlongondlongo bomculo, uVicious lindlavini, wayengeyonto ngaphandle kolwaphulo-mthetho olunobundlobongela obekwenzeka ukuba kwelinye lamaqela oovulindlela epunk. Akakwazi ukudlala, akakwazi ukufaka isandla kwaye akakwazi ukuzibamba.

Ngokulula: USid Vicious, wayengenaso isiphiwo kwaye mhlawumbi wayengumbulali.
