Morphine was the best live show. Sandman was awesome to watch. got to see them over a dozen times, each show was great. Not sure if 3-string slide bass is remotely as technical as some of these guys can play, but fantastic showman, great tunes. real loss.

>>720382255
second. Victor Wooten hands down. watched him once transition from The Nutcracker Suite into the theme song from Giligans Island while playing two basses simultaneously.

ehhh yeah I remember playing that song on rock band a billion years ago, it was fun, but Jesus is that song stupid self indulgence, fucking seven minutes of the dumbest lyrics. its literally just a medical description of an actual panic attack. we get it writer and lead singer of dream theater, you had panic attacks as a kid or something, dealing with adversity via music blah blah.

Such a self-centered thing to say.

"My post is so definitive that no one else need bother posting anything further. The thread is over."

That said, Mr. Wooten *is* a damn talented bass player.

We just didn't need the "/thread".

A man cuts in half just like he snaps a pencil.

>>720383522
well a lot of bass players think finger is the one and only technique so..

Geezer Butler, Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, Flea, and the master of all, Les Claypool.

>>720383529

Haha 311 is the shit. They're not really a GOOD band but they nor I really give a shit. When I say they're not good I just mean nobody is gonna claim their guitarist or bassist are the best ever but I do dig the 311 sound.

>>720383710

Too many knobs and switches on that bass!

>>720381407
I think Trujillo is the most technically proficient bassist they've had. Obviously, Cliff was a supremely more gifted songwriter though. Jason fit the band the best in my opinion as far as personality and stage presence. What I'm trying to say is METALLICA IS WHITE DAMN IT!

>>720387922
Phil Lesh 10/10.

Will add Jack Bruce 'cause I don't think I saw him yet.

>>720387124
Haha shut the fuck up retard you don't know shit. You're entitled to your opinion of his playing but to say he contributed nothing to Metallica just shows what a mouth breathing fucking retard you are. He wrote a lot of the more melodic parts in the first three albums. Do yourself a favor next time you want to be a special snowflake about your musical taste do a little research before you start talking.

Speaking of stopping listening to primus I kind of stopped when they got too slow and psychedelic. I miss the chunky primus sound like on suck on this to anti pop. Still love em but I wish hed go apeshit on the bass again.
