(10,129 posts)Honestly, as a musician, do you think the assclown guitarist from the Ramones is as talented a guitarist as, say, as guy like Al Pitrelli? Or how about Cobain.... Who was such an inept guitarist he had to hire a touring guitarist to play the 4 chord "masterpieces" he wrote because he couldn't play "Mary had a little lamb" if you spotted him the first 5 notes? Or, you can tell me how much training and experience someone like Siousie Sioux had before forming the Banshees on a whim in the middle of McLaren's "SEX" shop? (ironically enough, she's the only one of the original London punks who actually created interesting music beyond the finger-painting level of punk, PIL's collaboration with Steve Vai aside) Fuckin 'ell, Guv'nor, the original London punks proudly wore their distinct lack of musical ability as a badge of fucking honor.
