Who is the worst bassist ever?

Geddy Lee's got my vote. Half hearted appologies to any canadians
reading this but that guy is the most overrated bassist ever, might as
well listen to a cow farting.

 

sid vicious

 

Was he the bass player?, I was never a Sex Pistols fan, but I saw a
video on a music channels a few weeks ago - the bass player was
absolutely pathetic - I heard he was only there because he was related
to one of the others.

 

Wenn I started bass, a friend of mine called me Sid.
Because of the bass, and because I was vicious with girls.
(now, my wife calls me Googley Bear, like in Monsters, Inc. It's true that
physically, I'm halfay between the Terminator and Yogi the bear).
Anyway, he was the bass player, and he made a lot more for his band that for
bass playing.

 

Rush fans, and the Cyberspace Anti-Troll Coalition are not biting.

Nikki Sixx...Motley Crue.

 

Wait wait wait wait... I get it. Last name is Parkinson, right? Could it be
that this chronic condition affects the brain as well?

You must be deaf. I would like to hear you play bass.

And I'm american.

 

It's not fair to pick Sid Vicious. They couldn't play and that was half the
point. It would be like telling a cubist that his portraits don't look very
realistic. The Worst should be someone who actually believed that they were
good.

 

I second that

 

I dunno, the guitarist for the Sex Pistols...compared to modern day
punk guitarists was by comparrison a virtuoso. He played some really
neat 50's guitar riffs. As for the rest of the band....well it is
punk.

Sorry, they *were* good. Only sad old hippies said they
couldn't play. Glen Matlock was the original bass player
and co-wrote 'Never mind the Bollocks', one of Britain's
finest albums which inspired *many* young bands.

All the 'hype' came fron Malc 'the Talc', the 'manager'.

Please don't argue !

 

Nikki Sixx isn't a great bassist, but I don't know if I would go so
far as saying he is the worst bassist ever. Besides, the new Brides
of Destruction stuff is really good...simple bass lines, but great
guitar and great vocals.

Alright, I'll buy that. Not the worst ever, but still, not very good.
