We always here who our favorite bassists are, but lets hear what professional bassists we love to hate.
For me it would be AC/DC's Cliff Williams, I love AC/DC, but I hate the bass player. He just plays the root note in 8th notes, in every song! It gets so boring.

|  | Lone Wolf and Renagade Miner | | | | Boring yes but perfect for AC/DC.I dont think they would be were they are if they had a busy player.
Any ways my vote for bassist I can do with out would have to be Jason Newstead,too arrogant in every interview I have read and have seen him perform a few times and wasnt personaly impressed,just my opinion.

Bad bassist??
ME!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: New Jersey | | | Professional bassists who I think have lousy skills and no redeeming qualities?
Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy- Can the guy even play? All he does is noisily strum the darned thing and try to look cool by bashing it about. Plus, he's a glory hog with a swelled head.
Even other "bad" bassists like Fieldy and Mark Hoppus (who TBers love to desecrate) I can at least find ONE redeeming quality in, but I can find absolutely none in Wentz. So Pete Wentz is my pick for worst pro bassist.
I do still think Fieldy's an arrogant, ignorant jack@$$, though.

Rock is an accomplished engineer/producer who has worked with Metallica since The Black Album and worked with many other successful acts over many years. He was just filling in for Newstead until they found a permanent replacement.
Google his name, you'll learn something. |
