We're legends in Norton

 

[f.c.geil]

Yes Janek Gwizdala is on here.

 

[TomA1234]

A bit obscure unless you are into extreme metal, but Erlend Caspersen from Spawn of Possession, Blood Red Throne and Allseeing I is on here.
He's pretty much the best death metal bassist around:

In my own mind and spare time.

 

[knumbskull]

Juan Alderete and Guy Pratt have been known to pop in.

 

[Bunk McNulty]

My last CD has sold millions! Millions, I tell you!

I'm the best bass player in my neighborhood. Well, I'm the only bass player in my neighborhood.

Eric Tiwaz (a.k.a. "Tyr") who used to play with Borknagar and a few other black/progressive metal bands used to hang around here, too. Killer 8-string fretless player.

About the original question, I'm very famous in my 1,000 people hicktown.

 

[Connormac123456]

I know Liam Wilson from Dillinger posted on here once...

 

[ShoeManiac]

IIRC, the bass player for Neon Trees has dropped in on occasion. Notably in Justin Meldal-Johnsen's forum, as they've worked together in the past.

 

[mimaz]

I guess famous is a relative term.

Infamous, on the other hand. There's a whole bunch of infamous folks here...

 

[xUptheIronsx]

I am huge in Japan...

 

[knumbskull]

I am huge in Japan...

I am huge in the southern hemispheres.

Though one is slightly larger than the other.

 

[DwaynieAD]

I used to play bass for the most famous southern metal drummer in Central PA.

 

[Ed Fuqua]

This kind of reminds me of that weird Q&A you go through sometimes:

YOU: So what do you do?
ME: I'm a musician.
YOU: Do you play with anybody I've heard of?
ME: I don't know, who have you heard of?

There are any number of guys on the DB side that are on a bunch of records, that tour nationally and internationally, that are involved in major jazz programs at major universities....
