The Coolest bassist? And the most Boring?

[mike lead]

I want to know, who do you think is the coolest bassit. Not the best player... Just the coolest. And the one that makes bass looks like a boring instrument... The sleeping instrument. All of this, with a photo.

For me:

Coolest: Flea- He might not be the best. But, he is a complete showman. A craz guy.

Boring: Stu Hamm. He plays really really well. But he is not cool. He bores me,

 

[B'Aces High]

Lemmy is coolest, seein him live is a treat.

Jimmy Bain with Ronnie James Dio is quite boring. I saw him for the first time this summer. I was all Psyched. I always wanted to see DIO live.
I was dissapointed.

Jimmy's tone was awsome needles to say..but i couldnt get into it cause he spent the whole show just kinda staring off at the sky and not moving at all.
Ronnie needs to get guys who move around a bit more...

Beefcake.

 

[Osama_Spears]

One of the coolest is:
Dirk Lance of Incubus(well,was of Incubus)
...thats all I can think of right now.

Most Boring is probably...
alot of those nu-metal/emo band bassists that you can't even hear. Anyways,they're not worth hearing anyways because it's all root note mumbo jumbo.

[Planet Boulder]

Coolest: Bill Laswell.

Most boring: I think the g***arists have a corner on that market!

 

[Sonorous]

I would have to say that Les Claypool fits my definition of "cool".

Uncool? Dirk Lance. He is great, but he has Yngwie fever.


Forgot to add a pic. Sorry.

Coolest: Charles Mingus.

Most boring: Either Jeff Berlin or Jimmy Haslip.

 

[JayAmel]

Coolest : Geddy Lee

Most boring : Billy Sheehan and his endless solos that don't say "bass" that much to me

Cheers,
JL

 

[Andy Daventry]

Lemmy is without doubt the coolest bass player who ever lived.

Most boring? Glenn Hughes. A man I hold personally responsible for the decay of rock and roll.

Coolest: Geddy Lee


Boring: Huey McDonald (Bon Jovi)

Seems like some of you guys didn't read the thread subject properly! It's not about what the bassists play, it's about their stage antics and the way they look!

Billy Sheehan is waaaay better than geddy lee....geddy sings like he has ...Edit: Your language is unacceptable. This forum is all ages. ...that is not cool

 

[~Psychedelic~]

Glen Hughes of Deep Purple boring?He was the only one in that band who put on a show....well at least he moved around

Its the way you use those words that makes it offensive. Respect the forums- and don't get mad for getting put in your place. It has happened to me before.
