I like John Lydon's take, in his book he said that The Ramones said that after their first UK gig, the Sex Pistols asked them how to start a band, Johnny said, funny thing is, on the night in question the Sex Pistols were playing a gig in Sheffield!
I read a poll for the all time top twenty basslines, after going past the likes of Geddy, Jaco, Jack Bruce and Chris Squire, we arrived at the number one spot, John Deacon's Another One Bites The Dust, three notes with '3 On The E'.
Howay!
