Good Metal bassists of today

Sign in to disble this ad
We all know about the metal bassists that laid the foundation in this genre. But who are the bassists that just kick butt in the metal bands that are out right now? I would like to give a listen to them if you have recommendations.

Rex on DOWN II and REINVENTING THE STEEL by Pantera. A few years old granted, but the guy has incredible precision and such a heavy tone ( God bless Spector ). Anyone who could keep up with Dimebag deserves serious attention.

Apaarently, VH1 thinks the guy in Biohazard is a good one. I don't know, I don't listen to them, however, he is married to Tara Patrick so that gives him some cred.

The two bassists of Angra (the first and the actual) are quite good.

I usually have trouble even hearing the bassist in metal bands. Usually the over distorted guitar is blaring too loud for hearing much.



Yeah. And that fellow above^. Not cool in the least. Sorry.
