I'm sure bass players are tired of guitarists getting the credit for everything so I've decide to show my respect for the bassist with a top ten list starting with...
10. Cliff Williams-AC/DC
9. Mike Dirnt-Green Day
8. Johnny Christ-Avenged Sevenfold
7. John Entwistle- The Who
6. Geddy Lee- Rush
5. Les Claypool- Primus
4. Steve Harris- Iron Maiden
3. Paul D'Amour- Tool
2. Flea- Red Hot Chili Peppers
1. Cliff Burton-Metallica
Those are in order in my opinion, but I have to say that's not a bad list for someone who plays the guitar.
I would say Geddy Lee is the most talented Bassist musically, because he seemingly can play bass, keyboard and sing live without you even knowing some times.
ReplyDeleteI would include Geezer Butler, the lyricist behind the first metal band and one of the first dudes to have a bass solo/use wah on bass in there too.
Good List though.
