Congratulations John Myung!!!

I dunno, you tried to make me answer a question I already answered, (which you just quoted) then tried to claim multiple times I would not answer a question.

Humor us and re-answer it.

It's actually a logical falacy, circular logic specifically refers to logical fallacies in which on or more examples are known to be wrong.

Since there is no way I can know you listen to any sort of band I made assumptions based on factors of known and unknown variables. I made a supposedly falacy based on conjectures without evidence of that person in real life and his tastes.

which is a type of fallacy, is it not? What kind of fallacy is a "supposedly fallacy," and why did you make one?

Personal opinion, just like this poll. Apparently those who voted disagree with you, which from what I understand would be a large amount of people.

We're discussing why.

Now you try to claim that you listen to more Slipknot than anyone on this list, which I think is a preposterous presumption devoid of empirical evidence, that would be like me saying I eat more potassium than you do, who's making Logical Fallacies now?

what do you want him to do, post up his library and prove that he listens to Slipknot more than he listens to Rush, Motown, or Metallica?

Quote me where I called Paul Gray a visionary, I said he was great I always said he was great. Ontop of that as a person he was alot sweeter and more humble than people like Jaco or Sheehan whom I have 0% respect for due to their abyssmal attitude, regardless of their skill.

everyone knew Jaco was a turd, but I've never heard this about Sheehan. Furthermore, being a nice guy doesn't make you a great bassist.

Those I name as visionaries are those like Cliff, Geezer, Steve who pretty much made the Metal genre, they lead the way. Right now though these guys are almost 2 generations behind. Soon musicians like Elvis and Johnny Cash are going to gone completely from future generations.

so do you think Gray was a visionary? Serious question.

What this list tells me is that kids today in THIS generation identify with Paul Gray more than I might. But i'm pretty eclectic and tend to look for inspiration in almost any genre.

I said supposed fallacy, it was a spelling error. It's his opinion I made one, I think I am correct in thinking those who judge a Bass player without listening to their work cannot be correct.

When he one shows he isn't biased then one can start stating an opinion on the matter without looking like a total hack.

what do you want him to do, post up his library and prove that he listens to Slipknot more than he listens to Rush, Motown, or Metallica?

His sentence implied he listened to Slipknot more than Geddy Lee etc. listened to Slipknot, it was a badly phrased sentence and I was trying to be abrasive about the error but I guess it was a blunder.

"Hey, I'm an open-minded guy. I just think everyone who disagrees with me is a damn fool."

It's more like i'm open minded, and I don't think anyone has the right to trash a band without listening to them first. I despise Justin Bieber but I can actually claim to have heard his songs before.

Wouldn't it have been wrong to say that these people had never heard Paul Gray play bass, then? Particularly given that the list has sound clips of each?

Paul Gray, RIP. Sorry, but if he wasn't dead, he wouldn't even be on the list.

The list was fun. And to a certain extent, seeing 'your favorite' on the list is gratifying and affirming.

That being said, it seems it's a bit hard rock/metal heavy at the top anyway, so we know the fan base who voted.

Look at the top drummers. See any similarities?

you obviously have never listened to Slipknot, because you clearly hate metal.

It wasn't actually Paul Gray who was supposed to be at #3 it was Pope John Paul III, who subbed in for Sting at several points when he was touring with The Police.

So he hates Rock too.

 

[peledog]

Yeah!!! Mastodon, Lamb of God, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Testament, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Metallica, At the Gates, In Flames, Threat Signal, Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Opeth, Megadeth, Dillinger Escape Plan (sort of), Slayer

They all suck!11!

+1 Someone who can see what's actually happening, instead of arguing over it.

 

[bstringkyle]

I really think that Geezer Butler should have made that List!!!!!!!!!

 

[RCMJ Bass]

I wonder who Myung is going to be playing with in the new Dream Theater line-up now Mike Portnoy has left.

I've heard it's going to be Gavin Harrison from Porcupine Tree...I saw him talking to Jordan Rudess backstage in New York last week.

I think that this list, as with other "best of" lists, is more a matter of popularity than of influence, skills, groove, feel, or whatever. It's a matter of taste.
To me, it's a big load of BS. Cool for Johnny, though.

Still, some lore does exist. Perhaps the most familiar means of spirituality in WOW(Link Removed) is the Holy Light. Embraced primarily by humans and drained, the Holy Light is more a way (to Buy WOW Gold)of life than a deity (recon!). Light is about love and beauty akin to a religion based around the amazing feeling cats get when they fall asleep in a sunbeam. Though one can eventually trace the light back to (Buy Aion Gold)a supreme being, the magic behind (Invalid Link Removed)the spells comes from the belief of the caster. Built around the three virtues of respect(Link Removed), tenacity and compassion, the Light is good and holy. But we, dear friends we are the shadow. We are the antithesis of the light.
