Always wear a clean pair of knickers, cos you never know when th Joined: 12 March 2006 Posts: 18,586 User: 190	QUOTE(MUSHYMANROB @ Jul 8 2008, 11:10 PM) but you didnt have to play well to be a punk musician... that was the point. Sid, bless him, was particularly inept though mate.... He was chosen as Matlock's replacement mainly because he "looked" the part, was a bit of Punk 'pretty boy'.... The rest of the band were capable enough to be able to cover for the fact that he just couldn't play.... The best Sid moment has to be at that bad tempered gig in the States where Sid takes off his bass and starts battering random audience members over the head with it....

Joined: 24 May 2016 Posts: 18,472 User: 23,308	There seems to have been a lot of early and mid 80s dance tracks with great futuristic (at the time) electronic basslines - Paul Hardcastle 19, Afrika Bambaataa - Planet Rock, the Rene and Angela and Yarborough and Peoples ones I mentioned already and Shannon - Give Me Tonight and some of the Depeche Mode tracks too. Alexander O'Neal - Criticize later in the decade has a good one too. And then there was the weird new wave/new romantic basslines like in Gary Numan - Music For Chameleons.

Also 'Dub Be Good To Me' by Beats International - although that just samples the bassline from a Clash song (I forget which one now).
