Thread Name: Who was bass player on 'Bollocks?'
Subject: RE: Who was bass player on 'Bollocks?'
It must have been Matlock as most of the tracks were laid down and released as singles and B sides yonks before the album was released
Anarchy had already been part released on EMI & A&M before Virgin took them on
Matlock was alledgedly sacked for being too musically orientated
'Pretty Vacant' was said to be his crowning glory (with the Vacant often song as 'with a c**t) - Country was another lyric often used as in 'c**t tree'
On the singles - the only track not on the LP was a cover version of Iggy Pops - 'No fun'
Am not sure about other tracks like EMI or Bodies - could be a session player
The Sid Vicious tracks like 'My Way' did happen until Rotten left
Bodies must be the ultimate punk folk song covering the horrors and conveninece of abortion
She was a girl from Birmingham She just had an abortion She.... Her name was Pauline lived in a dream
Most of the lyrics are quite unpleasant, but very relevant to our mundane lives
