I agree Sid was no randy Rhoades, but if you haven't you should listen to him sing "Something Else", really f***ing good. Not to mention the classic "My Way" cover, which, incidentally, Paul Anka said was his favorite. (Better than Frank's.)
Malcolm is probably one of the WORST managers in rock history, although somehow he has managed to get his hands on some pretty awesome bands. Just one of those people who sorta fail upwards, kinda like the president. He started with the New York Dolls which were already collapsing due to interpersonal tensions and heroin, Malcolm hastened they're implosion by attempting to revamp the band as communist agitators. THEN he swindled the Pistols out of a lot of money, lawsuits, yadda yadda.. He managed Adam & the Ants for about five minutes, then when Adam defied him he took the band and left Adam twisting in the wind. The band were completed with the teenage Anabella Sciorra to form Bow Wow Wow and had a couple hits before imploding, Adam had the last laugh because his new band (W/ Marco pirroni formerly of the Banshees) were drastically more successful than Bow Wow Wow. After that he started to fancy himself a musician and experimented with Hip Hop and various other musical styles including jazz, Opera, and techno. f***ing awful.
