[livingdead_girl]

To each his own a opinion, but I am a bass player I don't tend to pay attention to guitar players

ha ha ha

 

[Shadowlike]

Steve Vai
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Joe Satriani
Jimi Hendrix
John Petrucci
Edward Van Halen
Jimmy Page
Frank Zappa
Eric Clapton
Carlos Santana
B.B. King

oh man they're too many, all with different styles...

BTW cedarbreed if you're getting technical it doesn't mean that you don't have feeling, the magic comes when balancing those two. Well malmsteen lost the balance long ago, for me, he's a wanker as well.

 

[livingdead_girl]

I guess I should have said 80s Malmsteem, but I rarely listen to new music now a days, but you are right he has lost it.

 

[Andy_2003]

hehe just kidding but i wasnt expecting guitar heroes on this thread, anyway , you should pay more attention to guitar players if you play the bass guitar , unless you are of that kind of bass guitar players who play only ' with the drums'
BTW, which bass guitar players do you think are great ?

 

[Ivo]

the one and only - Duncan!!

 

[Nico16]

hmm...this is a really good topic...


here are just some of my faves:

definitely Mike Amott (especially for his work in Spiritual Beggars)

Anders Nyström (Diabolical Masqerade, Katatonia, etc.)

Jarmo Puolakanaho (from an (obviously ) finnish band called "Eternal Tears of Sorrow", I love his playing style!)

Anders Björler of The Haunted/ex-At the Gates (he's got a lot of feeling for a death/thrash guitarist...)
