    Listen to Victor Wooten and Les Claypool. And Phil Lesh drops bombs that are out of this world.

    H. by Tool.

    Track 3 off Aenima.

    For whatever reason, I found myself getting on board with all things Maynard James Keenan lately...except for the Puscifer project. I'm not sold on that yet.

    Most humans can't play Claypool's work. I've never seen anyone pull it off. The man is God in regards to a bass guitar. Strange since Primus sucks monkey dick.

    May not be one of the best or anything special at all but the bass at the beginning of Metallica's 'The God That Failed' is some of the most bad ass shit I have ever heard
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    He's not overrated. I don't like his music but as far as bass goes, he's the Jimi Hendrix of that shit. I know of no other musicians who disagree with that. Metallica turned him down because he was too good for them.

    I get what you're saying though. Either you're moved or not by certain music. Radiohead does nothing for me because of Yorke's high pitched woman voice. Millions of people love them. I don't. Then again, it's my earhole so who cares?

    Long story short, Claypool is great at bass but his band can suck my ass.

    about time someone mentioned Justin!!! Fuck, go listen to prison sex or 10,000 Days. That fucken dude plays a mean bass. And I agree track 3 aenima= Dirty!!! Justin is soooooo under rated!!!! He actually has to physically sit down to play 10,000 Days cuz it's so long and really trippy. Tool fucken rocks!!! Go see them if u haven't. Ah strike that, dnt go. I dnt want to happen with tool what happened with pj. Too many fucken pj fanatics!! Tool sux live. Stay home, dnt waste ur time seeing them live. Save ur money cuz they suck!!!

    "Starless"-King Crimson....the bass lines in the coda are dynamic.
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
