Least favorite bassist?

[CaptainWampum]

I guess I have to run with the pack and vote for Feildy. He's just......terrible.

 

[NOVAX]

Whichever Jonas brother plays the bass. Oh, and 2nd place goes to Keanu Reeves simply
for insisting on playing the bass. Pete Wentz is just too easy guys...c'mon.

Gene Simmons is overrated.

Pete Wentz sucks.

 

[unclekebm]

Gene Simmons. (The Rush Limbaugh of bass.)

+1

I laugh at his attempt to be dubbed the new "Mr. Las Vegas"

Flea... he's an awful guy in an awful band and he's way overrated, i really hate him

 

[chrisrusty99]

It's a 3-way tie between Fieldy, Pete Wentz, and Gene Simmons (the trifecta from hell IMO).

+1

 

[Godfather]

WhiskeyMan 13 ..... he seems to have a very negative focus

None of the brothers plays bass. Two of them play guitars and one only sings.

-1,000 for me knowing that.

People really have a least favorite? There's so much music out there that I don't see how people have the time to concentrate on one particular player...that they don't like. I just don't get it.

 

[elcamino72]

Fiedly really.... god damn...... he sucks....

 

[bigntasty]

...too many good bassists out there to worry about the others...

And you beginners, don't let us discourage you from learning the ropes. There was a time when most of us weren't very good, either (speaking personally ). Now we're all good enough to pick out bad ones (or at least experienced enough to know)!

 

[Krinkle5]

Is this thread really necessary? I mean to be honest those bass players who are not our favorites have a position that most of us wish we could be. I don't think they care if we like them or not if we don't like them.

My least favorite would have to be the black bass players trying out gear at my local guitar center. For as much as I hear the words "groove" and "soul"; these guys exhibit none. All they play is some complicated slap pop with alot of percussives in there. No smoothness of groove, kinda like some awkward beginner on speed. Wheres the funk?

[wagstaff]

Feildy gives me the chills. And why oh why did he make an instructional dvd?!

Perhaps he should think of buying on rather then making one...


I'd like to nominate Flea, I can't pin point it but he irritates me some how.

I'd also like to nominate myself.

Mm-hm. I'll make a note never to go near your guitar enter.

Well it looks bad when you just that part of my comment. I meant no offense, but text comes off funny like that sometimes.

Who's concentrating?
It is the sheer ubiquitousness of some celebrities that make them so annoying. I don't actively seek them out, but there they are.
