"This C.D. is a fabulous collector's item...as for being a listenable piece of work, well...that it's not. Let's face it...Sid was never a singer...Nancy (Satan) convinced him that he was...just like she drove him to the spike habit which killed him. Hell, Sid wasn't even a bassist...he was a haircut and a sneer. If you want good post-Pistols work from an original member of the group (any Pistols fan worth his/her safety pins knows that Sid was not an original Pistol), check out Public Image Ltd...John never got boring. If, however, you are looking for a window into the punk rock scene circa 1979 and how the New York influence destroyed a 23-year-old Bowie fan by the name of John Simon Ritchie (nicknamed Sid Vicous, after John's hamster)...this is the album for you...indispensable and bloody unlistenable."
Nevermind the Reunion - Here's Sid Vicious

"Pure energy! I would have rated the alblum with five stars but the recording is not as good as it could have been. It's not terrible but it could have been better. I guess the venue (Max's Kansas City) probably didn't have the best acoustics for a live recording. Maybe the recording equipment was poor. Reguardless, this alblum is red hot. I would highly reccommend it to any Sid fan or anyone really. Well worth the money."
Ignore the German.

"The guy from Bremen obviously snorted a three-foot line of bathroom cleanser before writing his review. Sid an opera singer? An expert in musical theory? A bassist? Give me a break. John jealous of Sid? John talentless? Remind me to never drink the water in Bremen."
Loud, thrashing, in your face punk rock!!

"A great look back at Sid Vicious' post-pistols gigs. Sincethese shows at Max's were some of the only ones he ever played beforeplunging into his rollercoaster, they are worth something for every pistols fan. Aside from Sid not knowing the words once in a while, this CD features a kick ass lineup with members of the Clash, New York Dolls, and London Cowboys along with Sid. A great retrospective of a not-so great bass player."
