It created chaos, threw the fan at the feet of the band and suddenly, the fan was the center of attention and the star.

AM ET Richard Mann Retna UK Thirty years after the death of Sex Pistols front man Sid Vicious, a new documentary, Who Killed Nancy, argues that Sid was not responsible for death of his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen.

Legendary Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren says the idea was bollocks in the first place.

Sid Vicious was born John Simon Ritchie in 1957, and grew up as John Beverly.

When he lived with his friend, John Lydon, they couldnt both go by John so he took on their pet hamsters name, Sid when the punk scene exploded and the name just stuck.

Early on, I met Sid when I was desperately searching for a singer to front the new band I had named The Sex Pistols.

My erstwhile girlfriend tipped me off about someone named John.

I looked out for him, but as fate would have it, I met the wrong John: John Lydon, John Simon Ritchies friend, as it so happened, who had heard about the audition and immediately jumped the queue before Ritchie.

Sid soon took on the mantle of the most controversial icon of his generation.

I often wondered if he stood up to James Dean in terms of style and sexual attitude.

He should have been buried next to Karl Marx in Londons Highgate Cemetery.

I was determined for this to happen, but his mother thwarted my efforts and had him burnt to cinders in the US instead.

So many people have cursed me, accused me, of murdering Sid, including John Lydon.

Thats not true. Sids mother did.

Some felt that because I was the manager, the responsible adult, I could have prevented Sids death.

But try managing a junkieespecially if youve never been one yourself.

The questions never stop, even now, 30 years since his death.

How Vicious was he What went wrong Did he kill Nancy To the last question, I can say, definitely not.

Sid Vicious began the age of participation in which everyone could be the artist.

If you cant write songs, no problemsimply steal one and change it to your taste.

What matters is this: Being fearless of failure arms you to break the rules.

In doing so, you may change the culture and just possibly, for a moment, change life itself.

To watch him was to watch a nave, vulnerable, sad, beautiful and ugly teenager being loved for doing something different.

He lowered the bar of entry and allowed everyone into the creative process.

Sid was once the Pistols fan who invented the Pogo (a dance involving jumping in once place and thrashing about).
