Cliff

>Hey guys I can't play the guitar so I'll just turn up the treble and pretend I can with 4 strings xD

[spoiler]Yeah, he's absolutely stunning.[/spoiler]

Still better than les

youtube.com/watch?v=I63bOi477cA Jaco Pastorius dude.

Listen to Orion or Anastasia(pulling teeth)
Where is Les' two songs on souly his bass playing?

Yes, Yes, the first 3 Metallica albums had Excellent bass, well done.

HOWEVER.

>Anastasia

>Listen to Orion or Anastasia(pulling teeth)
Already listened, loved it, learnt it.

He inspired me to pick up the bass. I just say some shitposting on Cliff's skill today and wanted to see what would happen if I threw it in somewhere.

Even Les would agree, JACO.

My bad,anesthesia
Not denying,Dave is great aswell
Ok

IS better, not WAS better, faggot.

this. /thread

Les is more ;)

youtube.com/watch?v=-Tdu4uKSZ3M listen to that bass you fag, thats some throu shit

Victor wooten you faggots

Meme songs don't count.

He's technically good, but very boring.

Phil Lesh

I never realized what a monster Ellefson was on bass until I heard the isolated bass tracks from Rock Band.

Which songs would that be? Hangar 18?

LOUIS JOHNSON you fucking faggots.

Even the Berkeley drop-outs are insane

they called him thunder thumbs

/thread

>Only oldfags will know

Bootsy Collins

come back when you ll have listen some of Mark Hoppus work sonny

No shit, either. My favorite Primus albums were Pork Soda and Brown Album because they were looser and less "formal"(?) than the preceding ones. Les gets so fucking technical that it's boring as shit.

Super noodly guitar players are boring as shit too. They really only appeal to other noodly players.

I have a friend who will forget more music theory than I'll ever learn, he's a technically amazing player, other guitar players are very impressed by him; but his music is SO FUCKING BORING. Lifeless, technical playing; no soul, no anima.

This guy. Not joking. Pop bass is way harder to compose than edgy fedora hipster bass

Oldfag checking in.
Bootsy was my first bass-idol. I still love him. He's goddam amazing and, more importantly, FUN to listen to.

Jack Bruce

all you young fags are cute. there is only one correct answer.

John Myung. He's far more technical and plays like an actual bassist unlike Les.

youtube.com/watch?v=ZCz7RzGDsTw

Give us your best Rush Bass songs.

>Les Claypool doesn't play like a bassist.

Led Zeppelin's Unsung Hero

John Paul Jones

Bass is not a lead instrument. It's a support. Les plays bass like Billy Sheehan plays bass, a 4-string guitar.

Les Claypoole is t that amazing of a bassist his composition is incredible but most.of.his.bass parts.are fairly simple

This is aram bedrosian

You're literally too autistic to function.

>Prove someone is a better bassist
Yes, prove a subjective opinion!
This whole thread is bait.

I appreciate this response

Spirit of radio, fly by night, xanadu, bytor. All other bassists are stupid faggots compared to geddy lee. This thread is now just as invalid as it is retarded.

>Bass is not a lead instrument
Not with that attitude.

Yes, in a stardard composition you have a high treble guitar offering the melody, the drums keeping the beat and the bass linking the two. this isn't set in stone and breaking out of this set up requires a great deal of technical ability and musical theory knowledge.

If you're complaining that someone is playing bass in a manner that differentiates them from the standard in an interesting way, why the fuck do you even care about music you autist.

First day on Sup Forums? "Protip: you can't" is short term for "Post stuff related to this that others should check out" must of the time. People post more when they're slightly aggravated.

If you didn't know that already then go back to red dot.

I don't expect anybody to agree with me, but I really love Carlos Dengler's work.

Lol rush, gtfo here with your faggy dad rock pleb shit you fucking normie.

>"Protip: you can't" is short term for "Post stuff related to this that others should check out"
Thanks for the tip.

I've been on Sup Forums since the desu days, I can usually tell when somebody is missing the implied playfulness of a "prove" thread, but I occasionally miss it too.

>uses a pick
>not playing metal
>not playing music fast enough to warrant a pick
>takes easy way out causes he's a lazy faggot

This guy is no better than mark hoppus

Eberhard Weber

Chris squire

Fucking this
Those who treat basses like thick-string guitars are those whose rythm capabilities are just close to zero

Troy sanders from Mastodon is amazing. Best modern bassist for sure. No one is better. Period.

I like Flea.

Maybe if this was a thread on washed up cucks then yes

Too bad his band sucks
youtube.com/watch?v=8-rccN7ZsRE

marcus miller....
jaco pastorius....
Brian Gibson...

>Anastasia
15 year old detected

Objectively GOAT

Like I said, I didn't expect anybody to agree. Also, working so hard to disprove somebody else's OPINION speaks volumes about how you're feeling today.

I'm sorry that I like something you don't like.
youtube.com/watch?v=eqfiHfDmOnw

Pastorious was good. Too bad he got drunk and tried to fight a bouncer. Miller isn't bad. youtube.com/watch?v=FuEt5aibpn0

To each his own i guess

Unsung? Maybe because next to Paige and Bohnam he was NOTHING

...

>Also, working so hard to disprove somebody else's OPINION speaks volumes about how you're feeling today.

You were correct until you dropped this butthurt line.

People don't agree with you and are sharing reason why they don't agree with you. It's their opinions, using your same logic.

Stop whining like a bitch.

Didn't they cancel one of their shows cause his herpes flare up had him bed ridden???

Brian Gibson is a sick motherfucker, but so experimental
youtube.com/watch?v=3NZGbD236fw

>comes to thread discussing best bass players
>post stupid bass player
>"I know no one will agree but check out what I like"
no one cares
>gets mad that someone disagrees
>posts shitty song and assumes someone is having a bad day cause someone doesn't like his bullshit.

Go back to tumblr faggot, men are discussing

i think his style is pretty functional instead of virtuoso. at least it's interesting and functional.
youtube.com/watch?v=jSJpbtrxYz8

Interpol is the shit so yeah I got your back.

the fact that the name Peter Hook hasnt been mentioned in this thread yet proves that you are all faggots.

Also: Herbie Flowers

Stanley Clarke, victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, jaco pastorious,

Lolol faggots arguing about which bassist is better at being faded out.
Its bass! Not even a real instrument

I hear about him every time I talk about bassists, but I just can't get into his work. It sounds alright but I'm sort of bored by the time every song finishes.

Try sell on me on this guy.

Bootsy is cool but Leslie is better. Primus sucks.

You mean plays root notes instead of trying to expand. I get that a lot of genres and types of music don't have room for a lot of extra groove. Thats why people who can't play guitar or drums are attracted to play bass in bands like this.

>sharing reason why they don't agree with you
seemed like a laundry list of objective reasons trying to prove something

>Go back to tumblr faggot, men are discussing
let me know when they get here

Honestly, you guys are taking this way more seriously than I am. Everybody needs to take it down a notch.

>Primus sucks
Fuck off cunt Primus is my favourite band

I know I'm a complete faggot, but Matt Freeman was the first bassist I really listened to and thought "Holy shit, I can do more than just blast notes real fast."

>let me know when they get here
You're too much of a cuck to have an elementary understanding of masculinity

I just like how he plays fast and kinda has some funk in it. idk im autistic.

No one track in particular, but I'm partial to most of the songs from Peace Sells.

Your favorite band is shit m8

try this one on

>let me know when they get here
Oh damn, that insult would be sick if it made sense.

>Honestly, you guys are taking this way more seriously than I am.
>After posting "HOW DARE YOU TRY TO INVALIDATE MY OPINION WITH VALID DISCUSSION!"

Please Fucking kill yourself you normie poser cunt.

Got you, tee hee.

They haven't used that tagline in years, for reason like this.

i suspect you'd prefer a bass player with more flourishes
i can appreciate a simple, subtle style
it's the same reason i like steve west's drumming style

Bach is dead

At least you can admit youre a faggot. Freeman isn't the worst thats been put on this list (like interpool's bassit). He tries to be good and actually does some pretty impressive stuff.

Claypool is overrated
>My name is mud

>>Primus sucks
>Fuck off cunt
You really don't need to say anything else to out yourself a dumb kid.

Victor Wooten. Thread.

>My name is mud
... What about it?

fuckin wanker music

William murderface murderface murderface

wait wait wait stop the ride.... did... did you just insinuate that "normies" are rush fans? You just lost dude.

Yeah. It's really funny how many phony ass "fans" they have.
People like that shitdick make me so angry.

Subjective question is subjective.

Here's some faves:
James Jamerson
Dan Briggs
John Entwistle

>Le boring technically impressive black guy
No.

So you want me to be impressed by faggboy les covering one of Rush's songs. Try again dumbass
