The Sex Pistols original line-up was Glen Matlock who could play bass, Steve Jones who could play guitar, Paul Cook who could play the drums.
What you think of Lydon's 'singing' is a matter of personal taste.

When they were recording some of the tracks for 'Never Mind the Bollocks', Sid Vicious (John Ritchie) had replaced Matlock and attempted to record some bass lines.

When he went home in the evening, Steve Jones layed down alternative bass lines and dropped Sid out of the mix.
Interestingly, he played a lot of double stop 'chords' on the bass (I know chords have three notes), which provides much of the powerful sound on tracks like 'God Save the Queen'

So yes, all of them, apart from Sid, could play.

I am the Antichrist, I am an anarchist, Don't know what I want but I know how to get it ...

Do you think I can contact Hendrix, John Entwistle, John Bonham and Elvis and get a dead man's gig going ...

OK, you're there.

Thanks

I think I was repsonsible for 'knackered' (twice in fact), but I can't think of anything else that would require explanation. (but then again I wouldn't would I because it would mean that I don't understand myself).

Give us a list if possible.

cheers

The Am G F E progression if transposed to Cm, is Stray Cat Strut by The Stray Cats, a favorite of mine for years.

I think that progression is known as a modal blues too.

Nadine, I am truly humbled.

To meet that guy would have lit a light in my life, you probably do realize how lucky you are, but I'll say it anyway, you are way cool and I mean that with the greatest respect.

stay chilled

David

You're absolutely correct Nadine.

I'll restrict my political outpourings to bebo.

By the way, join bebo and be my friend, it can't hurt!

You are correct about my sincerity, Madiba as you call him really is one of my all time heroes and that's why I suppose he springs to mind when I'm looking for an example of a man who really matters.

As a side issue, did you ever hear "Free Nelson Mandela" by The special A.K.A, that song opened a few eyes and hearts in the UK. when Nelson was still incarcerated.

sincerely (I don't take the piss 24/7)

I'm sorry if I offended you, but I can't see why it was offensive, I Know that irony sometimes doesn't work and obviously this time I failed.

Nelson Mandela is one of my all time heroes, ( I'm looking at his picture now alongside Mother Theresa on my laptop wallpaper) and that's why I chose his name.

I was trying to compare him to Hendrix, another personal hero.
Whether you like Hendrix or not isn't important, he is just a guy that you cannot dismiss rather like Mandela.

please accept my apologies

David

Who is Madiba ?

And why is South Africa off limits ?

cheers

Nice one Doc,

I think a 1959 Gretsch of some sort, so that it would always be the same age as me. (pukes on his own narcissism).
