I don't model my playing to anyone, I try to keep my own style, which is almost no technique, but feeling instead.
But I think he was one of the greatest metal bass players that ever lived. Rest in piece.

| | | | Cliff is one of my favorite bassists ever. He impressed me so much with his freewheeling style. Its really a shame that we lost two of my favorite musicians so young....Cliff and Randy Rhoads. RIP! |

| | | | DEFINATLY my favorite bassist, and main influence. I just wish I could play half as good as he could. |

| | | | Cliff Burton was an awsome bassist but if he hadn't of died I would be surprised if anyone thought he was a god at bass, they would just think hes great at bass.
Just watch, When Geezer Butler dies he will be praised and called a god. but no says that now.
Greats are never appreciated in their time.
well maybe hendrix.

If you go back and read the post right before my last one you'll see that someone said no one will recognize Gezzer Butler as a BASS GOD while he's still alive. To that i say "wrongo." Geezer is and always has been my BASS GOD. He's a Living Legend if there ever was one.
Does that explain it? |

| | | | HEY HEY,
I'm not sayin i dont like geezer butler, I used to play lead guitar until I saw him in concert, I was sayin how mtv and vh1 and other music press or what not does not recognize greatness until its gone. Fans are the only people who see things for what they are.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2000 Location: Columbus Ohio | | | It went like this; I got cliff em' all in the mail off of Ebay, popped it in, saw cliff playing the intro to bellz where he goes crazy with it, and I was like holy crap, I gotta start playing bass. A couple weeks later I got some gear and started up and now I plan to make a career of playing bass after high school. anyone that introduces me to an altertive to a 9 to 5 job in a cubicle is a god in my books. his style is something that can't even be understood without seeing him play live. every time I watch it I am just awestruck. Vic wooten may be able to slap faster than he could, but I really don't care about that at all, he was still amazing. |

10-12-2000, 11:14 PM
| | | | bass man... please explain by what sloppy means? he was a good bassist...and as far as i'm concerned he's a god in my book.... |

| | | | its really funny how an entire sting of posts can be based on misunderstanding the posts in before posting. i do it too so i'm not critisizing, but you hafta admit its funny.
Yeah, cliff was sloppy....so what. thats part of his style that i like. jimmy page was sloppy too and there's no way to pull him down from his legendary status. and remember, cliff was still very early on in his playing career. he only would have gotten better and better. |
10-13-2000, 01:02 PM
| | | | i agree with you brewer...i admire his playing...but cliff had been playing the bass for 10 years..he started out at the age of 14.... god knows that i have just stared out...and it'll take me one HELL of a long time to be good.... |

10-20-2000, 09:18 PM
| | | | i don't like newsted...i think he really screwed up some of the songs and bass lines in the symphony stuff...like bells....it's so tragic....i have nothining nice to say about newsted... |
