    If so, not god, but TWAT.
    Wow, is that true? Vince killed that guy from Hanoi Rocks (a band I never actually heard). And people still give these assholes attention and money.
    please don't put it into words, 'cause I fear what you're thinking

      whatever. i understand he's not jaco pastorius, or however the fuck you spell it, but the guy can play his own fucking songs.

          once Nikki got off the drugs he was getting pretty good... he definetly has the natural talent for the bass... very good timing and sense of groove

              depends of the music, funk for example requires very skilled bass playing
              but for rock'n'roll Nikki is doing just fine, he serves the song and is tight with the other instruments

                Geddy makes it sound hard.

                  i know, i know, my point was pretty much picked up by E. for the music that nikki wrote, you don't need a whole ton of proficiency.

                    True, I can play Nikki bass licks. I try to imitate Geddy and I get tired real fast.

                        Indeed. Nikki wrote cool songs and had some pretty tasty, groovy basslines.
                        I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                          the improvement was pretty noticeable at the end of the 80's when he got off the smack and Bob Rock started pushing him to give more than 100%
                          Dr. Feelgood has better basslines than all the previous albums combined... very groovy and tasty indeed

                            Nikki Sixx, ain't a god. But he is a proper Rock Star. Probably one of the last of the breed. Now all we have are skanky little fucks like Pete Docherty, or all these rehab drama queens.

                                Ya'Know, whenever I think of what a "Rockstar" should look like and sound like..it's always John Sykes, Randy, Eddie!

                                I always thought that..way back in the early 80's and shit!
