2. What year did Sid Vicious die?

Answer: 1979

Sid Vicious died of a heroin overdose. A suicide note was found in his jacket, which read:
'We made a death pact, and I have to accomplish my part of the deal. Please bury me next to my baby. Please bury me with my leather jacket, jeans and motorcycle boots. Goodbye. With love, Sid.'
3. What was the title of the 1980 film about the Sex Pistols, directed by Julien Temple?

Answer: The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle

The film showed the story of the band, although from a slightly distorted angle. It followed Steve Jones as he uncovered the swindle. It's famous for Ten Pole Tudor's weird and wonderful singing of the song 'Who Killed Bambi?', along with Sid Vicious' version of 'My Way'.
4. What's the name of the girl who had an abortion in the song 'Bodies'?

Answer: Pauline

The first verse goes: 'She was a girl from Birmingham, she just had an abortion. She was a case of insanity, her name was Pauline, she lived in a tree.'
5. Who was bass player in the band originally (before Sid Vicious)?
