- Gee...and I thought the point of this was to list personal opinions on best
- bassists OVERALL, not just metal. Hell, if I had to limit myself to metal,
- I'd be hard pressed to find 5 I could consider competant, let alone good.
-
- Most of my picks for top 5 come from progressive rock bands (i.e.: Chris
- Squire, Tony Levin, and I think I picked Greg Lake) because most progressive
- rock is built solely on musicianship.
-
- OK -- limiting myself to metal, my top 5:
-
- 1.) Cliff Burton
- 2.) Steve Harris
- 3.) Jason Newstead
- 4.)
- 5.)
