Do you think Greg Lake is a good bass player?

[IMMusicRulz]

I am a huge fan of King Crimson and Emerson Lake and Palmer and I consider Greg to be a prolific bass player. Loved his playing on From The Beginning and Brain Salad Surgery. If I remember correctly he played a sunburst CBS Fender Jazz Bass but moved on to a Gibson Ripper and Alembic 8 string. I own a majority of Emerson Lake and Palmer catalogue and find them to be irresistibly addicting progressive rock.

But if you consider Greg Lake a great bass player then we have something in common.

Howdy, I'm not really into that musical zone personally, so I'm a terrible person to ask.

I respected him before I learned anything from him... and even moreso, afterwards.

I loved Greg's playing and singing.Good on the guitar too.

Greg was a great bass player and possessed an equally amazing voice . Unlike many of his British contemporaries he retained a very distinctive English accent when singing which no doubt helped embellish ELP’s classical/European approach to song writing.

I think the late, great Greg Lake was a beast on the bass, playing super melodic, brutal, yet with such precision. Especially live he played some crazy things. In the Court of the Crimson King and the Emerson, Lake & Palmer albums from Tarkus to Brain Salad Surgery are such Classics of progressive rock.
