Nice thread resurrection!!

Man you ain't kidding! Last post was 12/12/2001 and here we are almost 7 years later!

I'll venture Troy Sanders as a great modern-day bassist/vocalist. His vocal style isn't for everyone but his playing is amazing. Lemmy and Claypool are my classic favorites.

Somebody already mentioned Night Ranger, but I have to at least call the man by name. He's one of my biggest influences. Mr. Jack Blades, ladies and gentlemen.....
