Best grunge bass player

[Thorsoundcore]

I was more implying that the style of music as a whole requires no talent.

THAT sir......is one of the stupidest f*****g things i have ever heard anyone say. ever.

 

[Thorsoundcore]

Sure it's simple. But if simple = no talent, I'd go ahead and say rock, not limited to grunge, is a talentless genre. And if you're one of those snobs... cool, more power to you. I'm sure you are basing this one the 1 or 2 Nirvana songs you've heard.

exactly that!! that's what any close minded a**hat would judge off of. and krist novoselic isn't even a bad bass player either! love buzz, lounge act, etc. were all AMAZING basslines, but god forbid any moron that hates nirvana or grunge for that matter just proves that they haven't even looked into the genre with depth just cause of a few popular songs that they've heard. i guarantee anyone here that says krist novoselic sucks hasn't even heard anything that isn't popular by nirvana....it's madning, and quite pathetic.


if you think grunge takes no "talent", than apperently you haven't looked into the alt. rock scene of the 00's. at all...cause just 1 grunge band can blow nickelback and all of it's clones so far out of the water, it isn't even funny.

Not to say you're wrong, but you're whole argument falls apart when you run into some that actually HAS listened to a lot of material from said artists (such as Nirvana) and still hates them.

I knew quite a number of people back in high school that could not stand most of the people mentioned in this topic - particularly Nirvana - after listening to the majority of their material. According to them, they tried to give grunge as whole a chance, over and over again, but it just didn't work and the sound was a pain in the neck to hear after a while.

alice in chains had two bassists .

and both mike's were amazing.

AiC ftw.

Not liking a particular genre of music is not the same as saying the musicians suck. I don't like all that growly death metal, but I know it takes some talent to play it.

i love the bass stuff on AIC's jar of flies. it's my favorite album by them. It's so chilled out.

Anyways, any deleo bro's fans check out the "army of anyone" album with the singer from filter. it's really good.

My vote is for Soundgarden bass player and founding member - Hiro Yamamoto.

 

[Flipper43]

Kurt Danielson is probably best and most well educated bass player from the late 80's and all through the 90's. Listen to all of his tones, that guys knows his ****! Plus he plays really well, and has great technique--- hit the strings hard! Hahahaha

 

[WaldoNova]

Eddie Jackson do it for me when it comes to that scene.

Is that Eddie Jackson from Queensryche? I really don't know the parameter for Grunge but I assume it's most of the rock based music in the early 90's. If that's the case what about Justin Chancellor and the other, original bassist for Tool?

 

[Beginner Bass]

While we're at it, what's the best car? What's the best pizza? What's the best ice cream? What's the best bass? What's the best effect? What's the best amp? Sorry, I just never did like these kinds of threads. I personally think there are several talented grunge players, as there are in any genre.

You mean D'Amour?

Ament, by miles. Mostly for his versatility and melodicism, and the sheer fact that Pearl Jam are still relevant now.

His fretless stuff, especially, is stunning ("Oceans", anyone?), and his 12-string work has become seminal - I mean, who doesn't pick up an 8- or 12-string bass and try the "Jeremy" riff?

Me.

"Best grundge bass player" is self-contradictory

 

[skidrawk]

My vote is for Soundgarden bass player and founding member - Hiro Yamamoto.

quoting because "Loud Love" is one of the best records available on the planet earth

+1. As for me, while I like a lot of grunge, I can certainly admit it doesn't take much talent. If you're going to argue that grunge takes real talent, you might fall into the camp of thinking that punk takes talent (again another genre I like). However, it's just hard to take someone like that seriously at that point.

 

[DZ6292358]

+1 for Ament... amazing bass lines in many flavours

Jeremy
Oceans
Rats

 

[mjpjazz]

cool thread.... i've always loved Ben Shepards playing & tone on Soundgardens Badmotorfinger cd.... it sounds like a P-Bass thru a vintage SVT rig turned on 10!!! awesome!!!

 

[devnulljp]

Hiro Yamamoto without a doubt

 

[Lalo]

Deleo STP is good

 

[dalkowski]

Um, listen to some Jeff Ament.

 

[rayzak]

I'm a huge Jeff Ament fan as well. Not because he's unique, but because he's so solid. You could drop him into any cool rock band and he'd perform admirably. You can label him "grunge" if you want, but he's just an awesome rock n roll bass player.

Here's a good example. Particularly The Real Me.

no ,cause if you get someone ignorant that hates a certain band enough, they don't care whether it really does take some talent to play, they still consider it "sucky". i don't like jaco pastorius at all, but i know that man had some great talent.
