most overated bassist?

[Alan Vorse]

Why make threads that thrive on negativity?

I'm all for closing this thread.

 

[afinalfantasy]

It's called having an opinion. Everyone has one. Just because you don't like someones doesn't mean the thread has to be closed.

 

[davidmpires]

if you want the thread to be closed, why post here anyway?

Thank you.

And this is from your profile

Influences and Teachers:
Every player featured in every recording I've ever listened to, every person who I've ever talked to about music, every author of any literature on music I've ever read and every teacher I've ever had. I may have missed a few.

I have wide tastes in music, but right now I'm mainly concentrating on my Jazz playing.

I agree with few of the names mentioned above, but I have to add one more which is extreme overrated even amongst our community and this is Geddy Lee. He's just decent.

I was kidding heh, I've never actually heard any of your playing, I just knew it'd get a reaction .

I found it funny I hope it was the reaction you were expecting



Maybe you should check some of my music out, you never know your original post may just be accurate

Steve Harris?
1. You don't know what that man can do. 2. Apart from beeing a bassist he's a great compositor too...
You can not tell who's good or bad, every1 has his specialities lad..

That's what i love about music...

I agree that I don't know what he can do, and I never said he was bad either. This is about being overrated, and Steve Harris IS overrated IMO.

The original post was not accurate, but was funny. +1 on closing the thread. I'd rather talk about the underrated(like me and Jauqo III)

[Kgoodrich]

Had a listen to some of your stuff and while your chops and gear are great, I can't say I'm really a fan of your style.

Also I'd like to add that I think Bill Dickens is the worst waste of technical ability I've ever witnessed, he said he quit drumming because people said he overplayed, I'm not really sure why he picked bass though heh, he should have taken up metal guitar or just changed genre to prog rock.

I don't have a problem with Flea he's a very good bassist.
In fact half the people at least my age around here wouldn't even be playing slap if it weren't for him.

And that would be a good thing.

I vote for Flea as well. He's good, he just doesn't deserve the demi-god status many people give him, IMHO.

 

[Low_End_IIA_Vic]

Gene Simmons is a given.

and billy sheehan, even though he's my favourite, a lot of what he does it shredshredshredshredshredshredshredshred he is a good composer, but i just think he could round himself out more.

 

[troyus]

Sid Vicious.

 

[LUMPYKILLS]

Sid Vicious.

He never actually played anything...

I can tell you're a Maiden fan by your username (Montségur*). Anyway.

I am a HUGE maidenhead. HUGE.

And I can say that I love Harris to death. But...there are some who don't feel the same way.

You gotta respect people's beliefs.




I think Flea is overrated as hell, but he's STILL a GREAT bassist, with awesome basslines.
