They may "sound" cool, but they do not even remotely fit the definition of a "bassist".
Of course, that is merely one man's opinion.

I've seen him live twice with Steve Vai and he is not just about chops, flash or fast playing. The guy has a tone like thunder and can lay down some serious groove.
I've just listened to some of that "Behold...the Arctopus" band that Colin Marston is in and they are hilariously bad.
I thik the title in this video is about right: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1BgNhR...eature=related

After looking him up... I just confirmed that he is way off of any 'best bassist' lists I could think up. |

And Les is funky! |

Colin is a poser.
Les is a genius.
