KRC Posted September 27, 2006 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted September 27, 2006 Share 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.

Dr. Fong Posted September 27, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
