The coolest bas player in the world?!

[Slynt]

I was just thinkin'....and I dunno if you ever saw "Cliff 'Em All" and stuff...

... but isn't Cliff Burton the coolest bas player you ever saw? ...


He was not the *best* maybe, but definitely the coolest!

(If you don't know who Cliff Burton is, please find another forum on the internet to participate in .... )

CLIFF BURTON R.I.P.
Cliff were the best and coolest bas player ever.
15 years ago(sep. 26,1986) I were at the "final gig" with Cliff and Metallica and I remember him headbanging from the start to the end of the show.He were even headbanging between the songs.

"When a man lies he murders some part of the the world
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer,cannot the
kingdom of salvation take me home" Cliff B.

Geezer Butler all the way!

But the best has to go to Flea. He's damn good

 

[svenske kocken]

Steve Harris!!! And Geezer Butler of course.

Ever seen MuDvAyNe's bassist in action? He's fucking scary... I'm gonna say the coolest bass player I've seen is Kurt from Lucys Drowning though (Here's their website) 'cos he's generally a cool bloke and plus, he wears a dress on stage. Which is cool in my book.

yeah, cliff richard rules anyway i agree that Flea is a fucking drugy nut. hes so funny, look at the road trippin video , even my mum was laughing.

JACO PASTORIUS

He revolutionised the bass world. No he's not a metal bassist but he's still fucking amazing.

A UK rock journal has seached that among Harris, burton and 2 other great bassists the best, coolest, and the most technical is of course STEVE HARRIS... With his machine-gunery bass and Air Raid Siren Bruce God Dickinson's vocal Maiden beats everybody...

[madgirl]

.. u want cool bass players???

Check out Area54.
Their BAssist plays a BEAUTIFUL fretless, and BOy does she do it with SKILL!!!!!!

CLiff was definately a god - and as for Mr Harris!!
i was lucky enuf to see him guest with BLAZE at the camden underworld last year - OH BOY!!!!!!!!

I don't know if he is the coolest but he is one of the best:
Ralph Huppert of Mekong Delta. His playing very progressive bass, plus the fact that Mekong Delta is a low profile group. I think that these specs are enough for me to consider that dude cool.
Joey Vera (ex Armored Saint/Fates Warning) is also cool.

What do you mean by coolest anyway?

 

[madgirl]

thats a fair old point.
what IS cool??
WHen was metal ever about being cool anyway.

More like the best/ or talented bass player .....

Now there's a girl with principles

 

[Orias]

I'm not too into them, but Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse is mind-boggling.

 

[Eddy]

I'd go for Steve Harris or Les Claypool.

Although I think the all-round coolest bassist must be Lemmy.

 

[Slynt]

Yeah, Lemmy is a good number two!
