It's not true.
If you've ever heard any Sex Pistols bootlegs you'll know it's Sid playing alright.
If there was a bassist playing behind the scenes then judging from the gigs i've listened to then he was just as bad at playing as Sid was.

He could actually play a small amount , Lemmy from Motorhead taught him.
He'd just play the same tune for every song.

I've already expressed my belief that punk rock goes all the way back to The Gospel.

We will have to agree to disagree folks as I may start another new thread called
"weren't British punk bands far superior to US punk bands in everyway thereby defining what punk rock was for later generations?
How many bands formed due to the pistols and the clash that we now know of?
Does anyone here like the punk band the exploited? If you do you know nothing about punk and are possibly very likely a little bit of a simpleton.

Yeah cause the Exploited is the definitive US punk band.

The Stooges Were started in 1967 but released their debut in 1969 anyone who can find anyone who predates that then ill change my mind.
