Jonas Hellborg

[stratovani]

He has IMO absolutely the coolest name in all of musicdom. If I was a bassist in a metal band I'd want the name Hellborg. Hell, as in you-know-where, and Borg as in Star Trek's Borg. A very sinister yet fitting name if one was a metal musician.

Musically, the man is a monster talent, but personally, I can take it or leave it.

His music is not really my cup of tea; but i read some interviews and really like his vision of the bass, the music. This guy deserves to write a book.

Un-real player.
His stuff isn't for everyone, but IMO he's one of the few guys that pushes the boundaries of bass/music.
Mixing genres with with western instruments....
