Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying my media work at the moment with my music video but with big icons such as Sid Vicious inspiring me it's hard not to get upset at his poor decisions to turn to heroin. This post isn't related to my music video, this is just a post out of respect and sadness.

Potential music video songs and influences 3
Rise – Public Image Limited
After
Johnny Rotten
left the sex pistols (1978) he formed his own band public image limited (PIL) and made
their main song, rise. It still had the same feel of a sex pistols song with
johnnies weird looks and stares on stage and in videos which was always a key
thing in the two bands. Rise is a very catchy song and can get any audience
going. Rise is about the apartheid in Africa and more specifically about nelson mandalas impact on it. Rise is also about the Irish republican armies (IRA) torture techniques on British soldiers in the conflicts in northern Ireland. one line used is "they put a hot wire to my head, because of the things I did and said" this is a clear reference to electric shock torture. a line that links to the apartheid is " I could be wrong I could be right, I could be black I could be white".

Something Else – Sid Vicious
(cover)
Something
Else was originally made by Eddie Cochran but covered by the former bassist of
the sex pistols, Sid Vicious. He turned it into a punk rock song in 1979 before
he passed away from a heroin overdose. Sids version is a lot more fast paced
and heavier. The music video has Sid in his room in just his boxer shorts with
his spiked hair where he grabs a bottle of beer and a cigarette. Of course I
would not be re-enacting that video but I would like to make one as hard-core
as hhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxt02xqlhVois.
Potential music video songs and influences
DONT LOOK BACK IN ANGER
This
psychedelic song by Manchester band, Oasis, led by brothers Noel and Liam
Gallagher. This song is probably their second most famous song along with the
sensation Wonderwall.
Don’t look back in anger talks about forgetting what has happened in the past and concentrating on yourself your future and wellbeing. The lyrics and the whole pace of the song is kind of slow in a sense and the lyrics are easy to remember.
