17 Years Ago, Today

Well if you have to die, I guess a tour bus crushing you will make sure you’re remembered, at least by some.

No, best bassist ever is Jaco Pastorius.

…could be that it’s 1:26 am, but right now I don’t have the slightest idea who that is. Care to enlighten me, anyone?

I don’t know who the best bassist ever is and neither do any of you- since ever implies the future as well as the past.

He was a bassist in the 70s and 80s who did a lot of really great solo work and also wrote and played music with a big band. He mainly played jazz so if that’s not your thing you probably wouldn’t like him. He was beat to death by the bouncer of a club he was supposed to perform at in 1988. Weakest. Death. Ever.

Yes. Yes it is.

I liked St. Anger the song… >_>

The beginning of Unnamed Feeling is cool, but after that…they screw it up. St. Anger the song is ok, it sounds better live, but not so good otherwise. Same with Frantic, which I think is a great live song. I don’t particularly like any of the songs off the new album other than Frantic.

Ugh, my awesome Cliff Burton thread is now tarnished with horrible St.Anger praise. I have been smited.

There is no song on St. Anger that is even halfway decent. I don’t know what you are talking about. YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION, PEON!

I wanna be just like Cliff :3
decides to get a bass guitar and do solos on that instead of lead guitar

Dude, soloing on a bass is just not right. :stuck_out_tongue:

No…I replied to sarcasm with sarcasm.
