Cliff Burton. He was better than anyone on the face of the earth. Listen to Master Of Puppets and you will see why.

Danny Lohner, watch a Nine Inch Nails live show from 1994-2000 and you'll see why.

If you're going with Metallica I have to say Robert Trujilllo is better.

I guess I should expect a response like this in every thread about a band?

He has some really good skill(Probably better than Geddy Lee), but Cliff created Master Of Puppets.

Metallica really isn't too fond of bass players aside from Cliff. They always seem to keep the volume of that instrument rather low. That is the case with Death Magnetic.

I think it is. AJFA is second, and the Black Album is third.

Guess what?Metallica have had bumps along the road,just ask Cliff,And they aren't that great now.Plus Master Of Puppets is darn good.But there's better out there.Peace Sells has a better bass line than Master Of Puppets. Oh and I take no credit for the bumpy road joke.

Cliff Burton. If only I had the luck to be killed in a luxury tour bus, then I would be the best bassist ever.

Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers has some true skill, and Les Claypool is up there simply due to his skill and his absolute weirdness.

I still think Trujillo is better than Cliff, although Cliff was great but not the greatest.

As for my favorite Bassist I have to say that I don't have one.

The thing with Trujillo is that he didn't get an oppurtunity to show it on Death Magnetic.I could hardly hear his bass on that.On rare occasions that he solos at live shows is where you see his skill.

I don't really know who's best because I dont't know them all, but my favorite is a solo bassist on youtube, Zander4724 is the account name. He's got some great songs.

Edit: I just tried out the Master Of Puppets bass line. I like the way it sounds, but it's extremely simple, anyone who knows how to play can play it.

Yea it was pretty hard to hear the bass, I wish they would make songs like Peace Sells or Hook In Mouth where you can clearly hear it.

Ride the lightning was def there best, then justice, puppets and kill em all. the fact that you put black album in your list means your one of "those" metallica fans and there oppinion is invalid. you dont go past there first four, its blasphemy!

as for bassist i will again say billy sheehan

Everything, that film shows when rock n roll music was first introduced to the public.

But seriously Flea is an impressive bass player because a lot of RHCP's music is centred around his bass playing, which not a lot of bands do or can achieve.

Metallica could do that. Master Of Puppets and Battery are the best bass tracks out there.
