Every drummer they hired seemingly needed to know how to smash up their equipment and be a showman onstage, that was more important than the drumming LOL
I never knew until now that Skip played with the Pretties but I knew he worked with Moby Grape and Jefferson Airplane,what a shame he didn't have a longer career.
The Pretty Things were the first punks IMO, look up Rosalyn. Iggy was such a fan that when he met them he head butted a wall and then danced with Phil May. Joey Ramone said they were the biggest influence on them, Mick Jones and Johnny Rotten's first concerts around 12yo was The Pretties.
After hearing and seeing what the Pretties did during their career, I haven't heard ANY super bands, Stones, Beatles, anything like that. They all sounded spoiled, silly, pretentious and banal. It's like wanting to kick Keith Richards' ass, if you know what I mean.
