BEST BAND EVER: Results!

[Night Prowler]

Ellefson vs. Entwistle - Ellefson is good but had few standout moments in his career... Entwistle is one of the best rock bass players ever.

Collins vs. Lemmy - I really dislike the style of music Collins plays... so I voted for Lemmy... who seems to be losing WTF?!

who seems to be losing WTF?!

Lemmy is a very unremarkable bassist, it's a fair result.

 

[Night Prowler]

Eliminated after Round 52:
David Ellefson
Lemmy

Promoted after Round 52:
John Entwistle
Bootsy Collins

Jack Bruce (solo, CREAM) vs. Martin Turner (WISHBONE ASH)

vs.

Les Claypool (BLIND ILLUSION, PRIMUS) vs. Sean Malone (CYNIC, GORDIAN KNOT)

vs.

 

[Diesel 11]

Hard to argue against that funky Primus bass, but I really love the stuff on Focus so I’ll vote for Malone.

Other pairing was a little tougher but I think that Bruce squeaks by a bit for me.

 

[Collin]

Sick updates NP

 

[Night Prowler]

Bump

 

[Diesel 11]

STEVE HARRIS is the BEST DAMN BASSIST IN THE WORLD, along with being , a WRITER, and COMPOSER

That's why he isn't taking part in this. He'd win by a landslide.

 

[Night Prowler]

Bruce vs. Turner - I liked Wishbone Ash's song more, but Cream had better and more noticeable bass.

Claypool vs. Malone - Blind Illusion and the bass in it was nothing special, easy vote for Malone.

Blind Illusion and the bass in it was nothing special, easy vote for Malone.

Well why the fuck did you post Claypool in Blind Illusion then?!

 

[The Flash]

Yup, pretty egregious to have "nothing special" as the rationale for putting down Les Claypool, one of the most eccentric and unique bassists ever with his work in Primus.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Marty TOS Friedman: anyone familiar with his work outside Megadeth? Nope, moving on...

 

[Deleted member 7164]

what about Forbidden City mate? Hell of a song. You should know those intro arpeggios....

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I could have done with a bit chorus on 'em, personally.

 

[Stardust]

I don't even care about what happens next in this Bassists game, since Chris Squire is already out.

 

[Night Prowler]

Claypool is winning anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Plus I try to mix in different bands if players have more than one.

Fixed.

And Blind Illusion was the band you picked for Claypool? A band he was in for five minutes in terms of his career. A band that's a footnote in Claypool's discography. Right you are...

 

[Night Prowler]

I'll contact you to pick the music when he reappears in the next round then.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

For Claypool, cool!

 

[The Flash]

Fixed.

Do you not care about the bassist game, bassists or bass in general?
