Agreed. I'm not a fan of Steve Harris by any means, but I do respect what he did for music.

My list of 3 (in order ):

Cliff Burton
Geezer Butler
Jason Newsted

Those are probably the 3 biggest influences on my playing. I mean I've played TONS of material by other bass players, but these guys are the only ones who have actually IMPACTED by composition.

When I'm soloing (or trying ), Bach, Cliff, and Kirk Hammet are probably my influences.

The great thiing about geezer is sure, he could just play boring with his right hand but his right hand goes CRAZY! Sabbath is good.

Yes I agree with the good doctor on that. Your name goes against the rules and regulations agreement of the site, Im also quite sure that it will offend our female members. Please change it to something a little more appropriate.

Geezer Butler and Bill ward are examples of how a good rythm section hcan make a band. They are the foundation of sabbath, and without them the band would be nothing.

A thing i wondered when posting pictures of my fav bassists.

Are you inspired by Geezer butler or not??

i know i am.

First Real Rock Concert for me was Ozzfest 01' . I got into music late (or later then my friends), and I was in 8th grade. That was the one year Sabbath came back together to tour. Didn't even know one of their songs going there, the day after the concert went out and bought 2 of their cd's, and a few months later became a bass player. Why? Cause of a long haired man who played his bass with a passion so intense I was immediately taken to him. Geezer was definetly an influence to become a bass player, but he was even more of an influence to play live.

3. What he did in the studio with his slides on "Supernaut" turned my head around. He isn't restrained by convention.

Geezer's Cool! Supernaut is VERY COOL!

The Last Supper DVD has a lot of good live stuff and it has interviews/the members talking about the band. Bill ward said one of the things he does that makes his drumming unique is not to always keep time. Comebine that with Gezzers awesome unique playing, Tony's great playing and Ozzy's singing...Black Sabbath was the greatest!
