Murdoc wants to fuck bitches and make money. 2D does whatever. Noodle and Russel, however, have thoughts on the underlying meaning of their music and what it represents.
Basically, he was a calming influence for the group. A kind of balance to Murdoc's insanity and 2D's aimless meanderings. While Murdoc leads the group and 2D is a pretty face, Russel keeps the beat while Noodle fills out what's missing.
