I love The Dictators, more than the New York Dolls even and not as one trick pony'sh as The Ramones. Manifest Destiny was such a classic.
But rest assured that your bass playing is more sophisticated than both Andy Shernoff's and Mark "Animal" Mendoza's!
My own vision of hell is to start in a band as cool as The Dictators (Handsome Dick Manitoba always looked as if Paul Stanley had never discovered slimming pills) and then end the significant part of your career in something like Manowar like Ross the Boss did!
