I hate pete wentz. I'm surprised he doesn't rip chunks out of his bass the way he plays, the only description I can think of for it is epileptic robot

Bassists you just can't watch

I've never seen someone strum at the 17th/18th fret before. It sounds like butt mud to me. I don't mind being high energy and jumping around, and there's nothing wrong with using a pick, but that is just eww.
I've been enjoying this PBS special about the Beach Boys. I've come to realize that I've always been a little more than irritated with Brian Wilson's bass style. He plays/holds it almost like a prop.. so awkward looking.
But there can be no doubt of his songwriting and production/arranging genius however.

sweet goodness that was A-W-F-U-L
I couldn't make it past the first 20 seconds of him playing.
Robert Trujillo.
Can't stand the faces he makes and that I'm a BadA$$ attitude. Won't watch anything that Metalica does if I have to watch him too.
I would also give honorable mention to Pete Wentz.

He honestly looks like Limp Bizkit the way he moves around the stage.

Honestly I hate Fallout Boy but kinda always thought "Hey, Pete can't be that bad, he has a signature bass and he's a touring musician so he must have SOME chops..."
This video has just confirmed otherwise, god knows how he's gotten as far as he has... FFS at one point in that clip he was strumming up past the 12th! No wonder these kids cut themselves so much, he must hate himself when he practices

"practices"? LMAO!!!!
Eric: "hey Pete, have you ever heard of the woodshed?"
Pete Wentz: "No..is that like a toolshed?"
Eric: "Nevermind...I didn't think so."

HAHAHA classic
Jeff Berlin.
He wears blue jeans and blazers, like it is 1985. He's just anti-hip. And that chorusy sound he goes for gets to me. . .
Monster player, and I respect him greatly, but his just not very cool. And he bosses musicians around on stage, giving bad looks, and bad vibes.
I always think that he's traumatized because he thinks he's better than Jaco, and never has gotten nearly the recognition.

If you were better than Jaco and yet didn't get half of his fame, wouldn't you be mad?
True.
But I like Metalica, I can't stand anything from Korn. So I never get the displeasure of having to watch or listen to Fiedly.
Trujillo is a good player though. I have to give him that. IMHO he's better then Cliff Burton ever was.
It doesnt bother me but watching Lemmy play is kinda diferent. Hes always loking up at the sky and leaning back for no apparent reason. He rocks though! 
Caution: This is not Ace of Spades, you may not know this but they had other songs.

And fame did wonders for Jaco, didn't it? If he's mad about not being recognized for his skills, he's practicing and playing for the wrong reasons...
I have a hard time watching Flea with his "Look at how SoCal I am" approach (insert Fieldy, Trujillo, et al).
I hate watching myself play. I dont know why, I just don't like it. I also hate watching Pete Wentz.
anyone else besides pete, fieldy and trujillo?
im still trying to think of the worst one, besides pete that is
