Ya i know there was a thread .. I decided to put them all together .. Can ya guys mention the ones u like from the list or even others not in the list .. For me Cliff burton is the fav ..
Hey ur name matches with tht of the parikrama bassy .. And my b'day with steve harris !!!!! I am gonna b god some day !!!!!
You already are Nanda. Maybe Steve Harris can try to get as good as you someday. Dandada Dandada Dandada Dandada
wth !!!!!!! there's Chris Novoselic in da list and no JOHN MYUNG and Steve DiGiorgio!! how the hell did Chris Novoselic come...?? he just plays the root note of the chord the guitarists playing !!!
Dude its not just about composing .. even stage performace ... and how tight they play ... And their stage presence .. And ok.. sorry I missed JOHN MYUNG ...
nanda how the hell do u manage to remember so many names .. besides i havent ven heard of most bands u named .. i think there are a lot more fine bassies lurking around here and there who never get so much prominence
Dude what the **** does stage presence have to do with being a good bassy. I guess then Slipknot's bassy should also be in the list.
You Left Out Tommy Shannon No Probs i know he would'nt stick out but just by seeing how many guys he's played with you'll know how great he is
