John Paul Jones.

How Many More Times and The Lemon Song have some of the best bass I've ever heard.

F-l-e-a.  I didn't want to spell it out like that, but GS kept censoring me... hmmmm.  John Paul Jones.  I think Sid had some character. 

Paul Simonon, the only bass player that mattered?

Sid Vicious couldn't play his instrument to save his life. Do you know why he was in The Sex Pistols? Because he is an arrogant A$$

You must be a comedian.  There are some cool bass things, but overall its not an instrument to impress anyone.

Wow, I looked at the topic and figured it was another "Flea is Teh R0xorZ" thread. I'd have to agree with you. I am fond of Mr. Claypool.

  1. Flea - RHCP
  2. Adam Clayton - U2
  3. Lemmy Kilmister - Motorhead
  4. Tim Commerford - RATM, Audioslave
  5. Justin Chancellor - Tool
  6. John Paul Jones - Led Zeppelin
  7. John Entwistle -The Who

These are some of my favorites.

But if you turn the bass way up and listen to Snow, you can tell that Flea is much better :)

Agreed. Even though I am not one for punk, I still enjoy good music when I hear it. The Clash is great too.

There's probably a thousand better players but Flea from the Chili Peppers is my favourite, he plays with such an energy.

I mean i liked them at first, but then i found out about the sex pistols, so my friends thought i was stupid for listening to em, and they kept on blabbing about how great the who were, and i was the one who showed em who they were. After that, i stopped listening to them.... i know, its weird. I just thought, if my friends hate my favorite band, then ill hate theirs... im not like that anymore, but i just dont like the who that much anymore
