inkman Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 For whom the bell tolls...his time was then
inkman Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Saw Metallica live twice, the "...And Justice for All" tour.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Effing A. Next to probably opnly Les Claypool, the greatest bass player of the past 3 decades.
R. Rich Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Effing A. Next to probably opnly Les Claypool, the greatest bass player of the past 3 decades. 788030[/snapback] The greatest rock bassist, you mean?
KRC Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 The greatest rock bassist, you mean? 788272[/snapback] We are not going to start another "Who is best" thread are we? BTW, how was your trip?
R. Rich Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 We are not going to start another "Who is best" thread are we? 788286[/snapback] Why not? While I'm no Metallica fan, I do know that Cliff Burton was an outstanding bassist. But, to say he was better than Jaco Pastorious is just wrong. BTW, how was your trip? 788286[/snapback] We missed ya, that's for sure. The trip was fine, other than the long ride home after a tough loss.

There are also plenty of other bassists who are better then Burton. He was good. I just think that people are making him out to be better than he is, just because he died.

Another bassist I really like is Wayman Tisdale. I've been listening to his debut "Power Forward" lately. I just had the urge to hear it again. Good stuff.

R. Rich Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 One and the same. He's a very good jazz bassist and has released a few nice albums.
crackur Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Effing A. Next to probably opnly Les Claypool, the greatest bass player of the past 3 decades. 788030[/snapback] he was at the audition to replace cliff, but they laugh at his crazy style, they loved him but it wasnt their type of music JERRY WAS A RACE CAR DRIVERRRRRRRR
Dr. Fong Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Just a bit of me trivia. I was at Cliff Burton's last U.S. performance. Can't believe it's been 20 years. RIP Cliff.

R. Rich Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 yeah he is an awesome jazz bassist 788496[/snapback] My Mother and her boyfriend are taking the Dave Koz cruise and Tisdale is one of the acts that will be there. Sounds like a lot of fun. I wish I could go.
