Little known fact: Sid Vicious did not actually know how to play. He had to have other members of the Sex Pistols show him what to do, and he simply memorized the finger movements. He could not read or write music, period.


A-TO THE-MEN on ANDY ROURKE OMG, and [of course] Mike Dirnt.
Matt Freeman... I liked him in Op Ivy. Mostly because I love Op Ivy and hate Rancid.
And Nikki Sixx would probably be on mine too.
And, though I despise him, I'd have to say Pete Wentz is a pretty good bassist, if for nothing more than the line in Dance, Dance. It's pretty addictive, and I can see that being the one he's known most for, much like Mike and Longview.

Yeah I *nearly* put Wentz on there, but I figured that would totally dispell my credibility LOL. The only problem is, I thought that Patrick wrote the music, so I figured I should put Patrick on there... but then I remembered that I have no proof of this.

SO yeah, that's why Wentz isn't on there, nor Stump(h).

hahahahahaha Sid Vicious, that fuck was a lot of talk, you gotta admit that he had the talk, too bad he just never had the walk eh?

i think patrick writes alot of the music, but i know they write together too. i certianly don't think it's total dictatorship and i'm sure all the guys have input before anything gets recorded, haha.

omfg how fucking embarrassing LOL. **puts tommy on the list**

Andy is soooo underrated, he makes my life sometimes.

I might make a bill entry, but I'd need some help with info and stuff, because as I do vaguely know enough about him, he's fairly secretive that schneider bastard.

Damn, 3 hours? I'd say go the High Fidelity-route of keeping the list to 5 in order to save time, but narrowing it down that far can sometimes take even longer than thinking of people to list.

Yeah he does. He wrote a foreward for that Metal Hammer Green Day special issue, saying he went to Milton Keynes with his kids and thought they were good, and when Rotten Lydon made that remark about Green Day, Glen responded saying that they were doing well...
