| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Brooklyn, NY | | | + 1 on Mike Watt... also, no one ever mentions Gerald Casale of DEVO fame... not flashy, or even "great" by most standards... but he played some solid lines that defined a unique/awesome band.

What Clayton did and does fits the band perfectly and the band would not be the same without him…hence “important” in the pure sense of the word. I don’t think The Edge is all that flash either, but again, what he does makes the band what it is… |
