It's difficult not to kill it when you're wearing shoes like that!
Michael Rhodes.
"I will go to see him play regardless of whom he's playing with, and there is no one else in that category. When he's onstage, everyone plays their absolute best, I've seen it happen many times. I've even talked to other players about it, and they've said literally that they feel called upon to be as present and musical as they can be in his presence. It's rare, but some people just Do that. I've learned a lot about music just watching and listening to Rhodes play: groove, note duration, note selection, concentration, communication, playing off the other players and singers, playing your rig...it goes on and on. And he's not the kind of guy that talks about any of that stuff, he just is it, and does it, and it's there to be seen and heard. He's just showing up and getting in the zone, and having a good time."

Michael Anthony from VH. His background vocals were phenomenal and he was all about shenanigans on stage.
Stage showmanship?

Les Claypool!! Easy! That walk he does all the way across the stage is hilarious and oddly fits his music perfectly. His presence reflects his music.
There are people who are simply MINDBLOWING, like Verdine White, mentioned above. I know I would never be able to LEVITATE while playing, so I admire him from afar.

Oh yeah! Suzy, she's my new favorite! Something about a hot girl bassist. Tal W is up there too!
Joe. Dart. On the Fen-der bass!
Krist Novoselic, for the time he almost knocked himself out with his own bass on Top of the Pops.
Quite possibly the ONLY bassist to ever get plenty (or any) facetime on The Tonight Show, past or present.
