I don't see why everybody mentions Sid Vicious, he couldn't even play bass when he joined Sex Pistols, he just fit the band with his looks and personality.

Sid was hired for that reason. He had the right 'image' for the band.

but still he could hardly play.

I never said he could play.

I was basically saying that Sid was hired because of the way he looked, and not because of his bass playing skills.

Sid is dead, thank god.

That made the musicindustry a lot cleanshaped.

A lot more boring too. :fuckyou::fuckyou::fuckyou::fuckyou::fuckyou:

yes :(

Nirvanas bassguitarist could hardly play and he was not in it for the image - he is a damn farmerboy, but he knew Kurt Cobain.

Krist Novoselic is as 'farmer-boy' as Kurt. He is a very skilled bass-player, but when he cut his hair, he looked a bit weird.

Off topic: jeyh, I'm a Demi-God!

Jack Bruce and Cliff Burton.

It really is a shame that people don't give Jack Bruce enough credit. He was a great bassist who didn't sit in the background like and idiot, he played like it was a lead instrument. Watch the Crossroads live vid. His plucking fingers move incredibly fast. If you're a bassist and you don't like Jack Bruce, you should be punched.

Oh damn, Jack Bruce is a genius. Yes, Crossroads sounds like an alternate solo during Eric's part.

Nobody's taking it serious, dude. We all know he couldn't tell one note from another.

Sid didn't write sissy letters to the journalists that bashed him. He just hit them with his bicycle chain ! rock1
