Way back when I participated in Movember to raise awareness for cancer. Go to the doctor if you have any weird lumps or something (man, woman, and everyone). My sports buddy complained about a swelling and they found benign cancer - if he hadn’t complained to four (!) doctors that it isn’t just “tissue”, he might’ve had a fatal injury.
On a lighter note, everyone who plays bass is my favourite player to look at in a concert. So that includes you!
My first inspiration was Geezer Butler with N.I.B.
Gene Simmons (Reason I wanted to play bass at 9y/o)
Geezer
David Ellefson
Orion (Tomasz Wroblewski) from Behemoth
Paul McCartney
Billy Sheehan
John Alman- Winter
Dusty Hill
Ian Hill (He just sits back and lays down a bottom end)
Geezer Butler and Tim Commerford are my favorite bassists. I and new to playing bass but growing up listening to music it was them that made the songs sound so cool to me. And then after learning more about music and knowing they where bassists made me want to play the instrument.
I love Hooky, Simon, and Tina Weymouth but they’re pretty well represented here. One name I see missing is Carlos Dengler from Interpol. Considering the topic is favorite and not best, Carlos is one of the main reasons I want to be a bass player.
Ive been getting into Adam Claytons playing here recently and ive been loving how his basslines fit the song and keeps them driving while seeming fairly simple in most cases.
