Sid was not a good bass player , he was a better drummer , actually no one in the sex pistols were good musicians , they just played to get there point across , that was what the late 70's punk scene was all about.
Hmmm. I thought Sid hardly played bass at all, let alone drums (apart from the banshees' first 'gig', which he never repeated). He was a professional Sex Pistols fan till he joined. Glen Matlock and Steve Jones could play very well - Matlock was the main songwriter, and was sacked to make room for Sid/because he liked the Beatles/because he wanted to be in a proper band. Steve Jones was a pretty decent guitarist right from the off. All of The Clash could play pretty damned well.
For a band who started out not being able to play anything and not giving a stuff, and who developed into both songwriters and musicians, you're looking at Siouxsie and the Banshees, I think.
I vote for Diamanda Galas on vocals, Edward Van Halen on guitar, Thomas Dolby on effects, midi-bass and weirdness, and Doktor Avalanche on drums. Scream for me, you bastards... |
