Bass Queers (NAD) Unite!

Where can one hear the best bass tone ever recorded? My vote is Geddy Lee on Exit Stage Left, most notably with "Red Barchetta".
Weigh in.

Hmm, at the moment, the only one I can think of is on Stargazer's The Scream that Tore the Sky.

*EDIT* I can't remember which songs, but there are quite a few Type O Negative ones, in my opinion.

*EDIT* Wolf Moon ftw.

love Butler on Heaven and Hell ... most notably Die Young.

Geddy Lee of course ... on everything!

Good call on Type O and Stargazer.

I don't even like Rush that much but Geddy always had an amazing tone.

the fact that skeptic is spelled wrong has always bothered me. whatever.

I think the official academic term for the philosophical school of the name is "sceptic"

It's sort of understandable with Latinate hard "c", but it's really misleading in modern English.

Nice one! Absolutely PERFECT timing on this one. Very tasteful lines, completely locked in. Dig it.

I need to give Damnation a listen today. I've always been a fan of Martin's tone (and headbanging style) but never really got into Damnation, in spite of Michael's best recorded solo and the great bass tone.
