Nothing.
Seriously, i think Sid was a cool guy, you know, despite the whole sucking at bass and murdering his girlfriend thing. I like his version of My Way, his singing on that song is hilarious, it reminds me of the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz.
But that aside, he wasnt a serious musician, sure hes the kind of guy you would have a couple of brews with and have a ass kicking time, but thats it, he was just a guy in the band who got to pretend he was a musician for a little while. The fact that he is one of the most popular bassists of all time is quite sad really.
