Title: Great Performances: Bass Guitar Post by: Black Diamond Vol on July 24, 2013, 07:51:58 EDT As promised, here's Geddy Lee and Rush, doing what they do.
http://www.youtube.com/v/XMdsAy5MUaU It's kind of hard to take Primus seriously, but there's no doubting Les Claypool's ability. http://www.youtube.com/v/hMsJlJdWof8 Here's Cream, doing their version of Robert Johnson's "Crossroads". If you can somehow get past Clapton's brilliance, listen for Jack Bruce's amazing bass work. http://www.youtube.com/v/becWr0vc6cA Title: Re: Great Performances: Bass Guitar Post by: VinnieVOL on July 24, 2013, 08:27:05 EDT In all seriousness, Gene $immons is viewed as one of these rock stars who is all about marketing and money first and music second, but he's a very underrated bass player. He's no Geddy Lee, obviously but he's a perfectionist and his playing is at very least consistent.

G Title: Re: Great Performances: Bass Guitar Post by: Orange Rampage on July 26, 2013, 03:14:10 EDT This one was over from the initial post. Would submit Steve Harris from Iron Maiden or Chris Squire from Yes, but not above Geddy or Les. Les is a weird dude, but he is good.
All I can say about Vinnie's submission is: Man if you ever get this guy on your side he will always have your back! Brought Gene into the discussion. I'm not gonna argue. I may need Vinnie to back me up one day. Heh -No submission. Thread conceded. gg- Title: Re: Great Performances: Bass Guitar Post by: RIPLEYVOL on July 26, 2013, 05:40:09 EDT From a not so well known band.....but a bass monster!!
