Exacty, yeah he was a cool guy, but he wasn't a true musician, he was picked solely for his image, The Sex Pistols even admited that, he was a horrible bass player, he couldn't even play the simplest punk chords, Lemmy from Motorhead and The Sex Pistols former bassist both tried to teach him the basics, but they both were quoted for saying he was a horrible student, he didn't even play on Never Mind the Bollocks despite being given credit, Steve Jones actualy played the bass parts, and at live shows his bass would be unamped and instead of actualy playing he was ordered to mimic it...He was THAT bad.


I still love The Sex Pistols though.

That's not TOO selfish then, as at least he didn't ruin the live shows with bad and audible playing. For many musicians, silence is the best thing they could offer.

Steve Harris, no question.
Primus is kool in its own way. Les is to random. But he does tear it up.

:O talking about best bassists and Rex Brown isnt mentioned?!?!?!?!?!?! shocking! Or even Tom Araya from Slayer?? Les Claypool may be one of the most skilled musicans at the moment, some of his music is horrible, Flea too, technically brilliant, but some of his work is awful...too complex
