Swedish bass players

[Rudyboy98]

I am a pretty big Swedish Metal fan...

Are you a fan of any Swedish bass players?

List your favorite bass player (must be Swedish or Scandinavian)
and post pics if you like.

P.S. To the Mods: If this is not considered a legitimate thread, please let me know.

Why would you exclude Norway from Scandinavia? That's about as reasonable as saying Alaska or California aren't parts of North America.

Traditionally, Scandinavia is Sweden and Norway. Denmark is almost always included. Finland, Iceland and Faroe Islands sometimes, allthough then it's really the Nordic countries that you're including.

On topic:
Rutger Gunnarsson (played on most ABBA tracks)
Jonas Hellborg
Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen
Georg Riedel
Magnus Rosén

I don't know any Swedish bass players specifically but I definitely like Swedish metal. I'm a big fan of Soilwork and The Haunted. I think they are both Swedish, or at least from that part of the world. Really good stuff. I love listening to The Haunted on the way to work - I design toys.

Finland is NEVER part of Scandinavia.

Thats like saying bands and bandmembers from Chile and Argentina are the same thing because they are in the same region of South America!

Let's just stick to Swedish metal...Finnish metal is amazing but it's another country.

Typically, most research I have done, didn't include Norway in Scandinavia, per se.

Of course right after posting I went to Wikipedia and re-researched my data, which I found to be incorrect...hence I have edited my thread.

No offense intended! Sorry!

Thanks for your comments!

+1

Versus the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amon Amarth is essential for anyone interested in Scandinavian metal.

Check out Nocturnal Rites, too. They're power metal. Hard to hear the bass on most of their tracks. Solid tracks though.

Yes it is. Though it may not be Nordic, it is Scandinavian.

Ah...yes...I am almost forgot to mention...the great MARCEL JACOB...and John Leven...

LOL!

For clarification (or further confusion ):

Scandinavia = Sweden, Norway and Finland
Nordic countries = Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland

The Scandinavian peninsula (in swedish "Skandinaviska halvön") is only Sweden and Norway.
