I think the the line "his trademark [is] a dub-influenced murky brand of languid low-end madness that he has perfected, but barely altered." should be moved or deleted. It's a highly subjective statement entirely unfounded in fact--JW musical output is vast and varied in style and has undergone a lot of changes over the years. If you compare his early work, eg "Betrayal" or "Bedroom Album" with his later releases, eg. "The Celtic Poets" or "English Roots Music" one can clearly see an enormous progression both in musical expression and arrangement. No murkiness there at all. "Low-end madness" contains about as much meaning as, say, high-end sadness--just non-descript fillers.Malljaja 11:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

hey they are calling sid vicious intimidating - he is well-known for being shy and low key - whereas wobble had a "past" - take down the media stereotypes!!!
1. This is not Sid Vicious' page. So what does it matter? 2. Sid Vicious thrived on what behavioral therapists call "negative attention." He was intimidating - he hurt people. He whipped a guy in the face with a bike chain repeatedly. And what does it matter? Media stereotypes are that way for a reason - because they fit. Skin Crawl 05:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Jah Wobble only played on the first two PiL albums live at the witch trials 23:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Sid Vicious's legal name was John Simon Ritchie, not Simon Ritchie, as in a recent edit. This is only tangential here; however, at Kingsway College, Wobble was one member of the Four Johns, ie, John Wardle, John Lydon, John Ritchie, John Grey, which gives the "John" versus "Simon" issue some significance.Malljaja 12:37, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Sorry but what does Sid Vicious' real name have to do with anything? And besides that, his name was John Simon Ritchie Beverly (or in some order like that.) He went by Simon as a child (and his mother called him Simon) but starting going by John when he got into his teens. But it's beside the point. the 4 johns thing is irrelevant anyway.
