Eeep. I'm 18 and part of that generation most reluctantly, there are scarcely things that irritate me more...drummer in an old band of mine heard me play some slap shizz one day and nearly had a heart attack "whoah! Slap bass!! That's like...whoah!!" I was like "umm...thanks...:hmm:" A guy at...

Chris, great bassist...shame about the band :hiding:

I hope someone mentioned Colin Edwin fro Porcupine Tree...Justin Chancellor from Tool too, Juan Alderete, oh and Roy Wood Other than that, Chris Squire all the way. Greatest ever I reckon...
