  • WHERE IS CLIFF BURTON!!

  • i think you dont know john"thunderfinger" entwistle

  • I'm a bass player :D

  • John myung must be the greatest of them all

  • Very good video and I love the song. Barry Oakley (Allman Bros - Mountain Jam live solo) and Jon Camp (Renaissance - Ashes are Burning solo) are up there.

  • Brian Gibson - Lightning Bolt

    Wake up

  • Good list, but Burton and Simmons missing.

  • hey, morons, stop asking for cliff; he was just a lead guitar who played bass. Let's talk REAL bass players here ok?

  • Lve dis guy

  • Where the fuck is cliff burton

  • go check jean baudin out on you tube he is the best bass player in the world

  • For those of u guys who want to know what song is being played in this video it is VICTOR WOOTEN-VISION

  • Wait I thought that DOUG JOHNS was one of then..you guys need to check this guy out he is pretty beast on the bass..

  • Ok maybe thats because this list is the best bass players still alive :-) forget I asked if thats why he has been omitted!!. peace.

  • Dude where is Phil Lynott?? easily one of the best bass players of all time. Check out Thin Lizzy "Holy War" Lynott owns it fantastic bass player.

  • @archiegsy And Abe Laboriel, Mel Schacher, Steve Harris?????

  • Where is cliff ?

  • Steve Harris and John Entwistle would be on mine. Although I like Kiss, Gene Simmons is not a great bassist. 

  • 泣いた

  • where is cliff burton???

  • @kingofkings2525 in the heaven with the gods of the metal

  • if you consider technics and the most important part "soul" for me Abe Laboriel is class apart.

  • perhaps this list is missing some bass players but the best list I found, cliff and Harris are good, I like the style of Harris, but not enough to get into the best in the world.

  • @picarochiloso Yeah plus John Entwistle was not only playing their style of Bass when theyr were still shitting their diapers but he also invented it at the same time.

  • STEVE HARRIS? CLIFF BURTON?? GENE SIMMONS???

  • @kriss894 haha Gene Simmons suck so much, I've been playing bass for five years and I could already out play him.

  • @CJbass420 gene is very good!!!!

    you suck!!!!

  • @CJbass420 gene is very good!!!!

    you should appreciate the good art! nobody compares to anyone, much less a gene .... then I'll say that as been playing the bass ten years and play to be cliff burton!

  • @kriss894 I don't suck and I'd like to see you explain how I suck. I'll explain why Gene sucks, he can barely solo, most of his basslines just copy the guitarist he rarely starts a song with a bassline he wrote from scratch, I'm also pretty sure he can't play with his fingers at all. Cliff Burton is quit nasty, but if I went up in a Bass duel against Gene, I think I would win. Gene simmons is proabably the worst Bassist in rock history. Either him or the guy from AC/DC.

  • @CJbass420 I think if Gene was a bad bass player, had not made​a good step in the history of rock. But Gene is a legend!! besides he is not one of the best musicians, but a good businessman and an excellent manager ...... if you do not like kiss does not matter, because I and thousands of thousands of people fascinated us! oh and thanks for your comments!

    

  • @kriss894 Exactly he's a BUSINESS man thats the only reason they took off, they wrote simple cathy tunes with no passion in them and dressed up to get peoples attention! Musically he and the others aren't very talented. Business and music should never go together, Music is an art and when you make it a business you have leaches like gene usurping it for money, and that is why music is dying, everyone only cares about getting rich and not the art they're creating.

  • @CJbass420 # 1 KISS is not the most talented musicians, is a registered trademark in the world of rock, which generates millions of dollars annually, that everybody knows. but we all love money! currently most metal bands do the same as kiss, even as it is not uncommon to see your photos in People magazine, we all have to survive one way and so do they!

  • @CJbass420 # 2 So do not tell me that KISS offends the art of good music, or that are in the world of rock just for the money, as the music also has to be paid. KISS and any band that is attached to this type of marketing all is forgiven when you get on the scenery, and sing these great hymns making you feel like a child or a teenager filling you with life and happiness. That my friend has no price!

  • @kriss894 Yeah everyone likes money, but they care more about the money than the art. Thats when it becomes problem, even Ace Frehely says Gene and Paul care mostly about the money which is part of why he can't jam with them anymore. They're money grubbing scumbags and Gene Simmons ios no where near being one of the best bassist of all time and now you've admitted it, which is what this whole convo was about!

  • @CJbass420 No problem! each person has a different opinion about metal and rock, and also each person has a different opinion about KISS. Many people who are inside or outside the heavy metal hate GENE SIMMONS. But too many people love it. You tell me I'm stupid for loving him, but there are more stupid people who love lady gaga

  • @kriss894 I never said you were stupid for loving him, I simply stated he's no where near being one of the best bassists of all time. As for Lady Gaga I don't think people are stupid for loving her, they just have a different taste in msuic then me. My only problem with Gaga is that she like Simmons cares more about the money then the art, did you know she originally intended to be a rock singer? She went to hip-hop because there was more money in it.

  • @CJbass420 ok no problem .. I know at one point it seemed stupid just think about gene simmons and kiss .... because your opinion will not change at all the love we feel the kiss armys. There is good music in the world and kiss a part of it. So you better change our conversation. that we are metalheads and we are not separated by small differences ... but we must unite for the good music and good metal

  • @kriss894 Kiss is not metal, they're hard rock.

  • @CJbass420 ok I already knew that kiss is hard rock ... what's metalhead was just an expression. besides all the rock is family: the heavy metal, hard rock, trash and all that is the same spirit.

  • Doug Johns.

  • y GREG LAKE?????????

  • Y Bernard Edwards?

  • John Deacon, James Jamerson, and Jaco Pastorius.

  • Where is Marc King???

  • song?

  • Where is Ron Carter??

    Where is Carles Benavent??

  • whats the song?

  • The best players are the one's in bands like Flea, Cliff Burton (R.I.P), Tim Commerford (RATM), Geddy Lee My Top 10 are : 1. Flea 2. Duff McKagan 3. Tim Commerford 4. Cliff Burton 5. Jared Followill (Kings Of Leon) 6. Chris Wolstenholme 7. John Entwistle 8. John Deacon 9. Krist Novoselic 10.John Paul Jones
  • Whose world is this? How can you leave James Jamerson and Jack Bruce Out (unless I missed them, but I'm not watching it again)? How about Mingus, Ray Brown, Rufus Reid, Bob Cranshaw, Alphonso Johnson, or Ron Carter, to name a few? Ditto Entwistel. I heard Miroslav Vitous is pretty good too, and Berry Oakley and Allen Woody didn't suck either.

  • Comment removed

  • @kilzon5 Too be completely honest he wasnt a really good player

  • Does anyone know the name of the song that's playing in the back round?? or who it's by??

  • De donde sos?, porque vi a Malosetti y Aznar por ahi :D

    si concuerdo con algunos, ahi muchos bajistas que tocan metal que te faltaron,

    Cliff Burton, Jason Newsted y Rober Trujillo (los 3 tocaron/toca en Metallica)

    John Moyer de Disturbed

    Ryan Martinie de Mudvayne

  • Where is Lee Sklar?

  • stanley clarke should have been first, and everybody knows it.

  • This list makes me laugh real hard.

  • Hold da fuck up, you got overrated ass Paul McCartney,but no Louis Johnson,Bootsy Collins,Rick James,Verdine White,Marc Adams,Nathanial Watts,Marvin Isley, & the greatest bassist that ever played "JAMES JAMERSON" ?! 1 day you all will see!

  • Victor Wooten next to last????? Are you serious? Im not a jazz guy but come on? Hes amazing! You have Gene Simmons, duff mckagan, ahead of him? i chuckle in dismay! Ryno from Mudvayne is way better than those guys & he's not even on the list! Give Vic some cred, geez!

  • wheres mark king from level 42

  • eee y gene simons, duff mcangan, robert trujillo??

  • F**** U, HOW CAN FORGET JAMES JAMERSON?

    SHAME ON U!

  • yea Louis Johnson was overlooked, although I dig Entwistle, he's a great player but not in the same MOJO. Cliff Burton (LOL), come on now get real. Another one that should in on the list is Brian Bromberg. A true master, not only electric bass, but stand up, and midi bass synth.

  • WHERE IS CLIFF BURTON?! HM?!

  • What a terrible miss boy! have you ever listened to Mick Karn (ex-Japan)?

  • Hi Guichu.......nice playing and bass sound...love it!.....did you played it?.....thanx

  • omg!!! wheres cliff buton n gene simmons?!?!

  • How come everyone is admiring Cliff Burton? Type "fpe" in the search window and listen to As Blood Runs Black and u will hear a bassist least as good as Cliff.

  • Vunea list mi ermano... yo le añadiria Andre Neiva nomas pero de ai muy buena. y ademas estoy de acuerdo en botar a Cliff burton de cualquier lista de realmente buenos bajistas (FUCK CLIFF)  Saludos desde Ecuador

  • Where is it Wojtek Pilichowski?

  • Good but  there's no Cliff Burton!!!

  • da fuck where is Justin Chancellor?

  • Aki faltan:

    -Cliff Burton

  • @cell6460 la ntta

  • PAUL MCARTNEY=NUMBER 1

  • umm really john paul jones and paul mccartney? how about fieldy and paul gray!!they are way better

  • Cliff Burton, Steve Harris, Victor Vooten are missing for me...

  • Scott Ambush.......

  • Interesting list, but I still don't think there is such a thing as the "best" players of anything. Everybody is different.

    I am getting a little tired of everybody constantly sucking Cliff Burton's dick all the time, though.

  • Good list, but John Entwistle, Jack Bruce and James Jamerson should have been on there.

  • Adam Nitti and Alain Caron blow all the others out of the water.

  • I think a few were missed here...

  • John "thunder fingers" Entwistle, Larry Graham and how could we forget The Incomporable James Jamerson.

  • Good list, mate, only missed a few (Entwistle the best known of them).

    Cheers!!

  • geezer butler???

    kmo se iama la kncion la kiero skr

  • @vasca987 acabo de leer en otro comentario que se llama 'The Vision' de Victor Wooten

  • hey where are RIC FIERABRACCI, STU HAMM, TAL WILKENDFELT, BUNNY BRUNEL, ANTHONY JACKSON ABRAHAM LABORIEL, CHRIS BUCK ?????????????????

  • Where the hell is John Entwistle?

  • In my opinion Mc Cartney is not a great bassist, but a great composer. By the way I would add Ray Shulman of Gentle Giant. Anyway, it´s always hard to say who´s the best, is a subjective matter.

    En mi opinión, Mc Cartney no es un gran bajista sino un gran compositor. Por cierto yo agregaría a Ray Shulman de Gentle Giant. En fin, es difícil decir quién es el mejor, es un asunto subjetivo.

  • what the hell about john entwistle

  • who's tune is it on the background? amazing

    love your taste by the way, Richard Bona & Victor Wooten are the best

  • @TheNeighboursSon the tune is "The Vision" from Victor Wooten's 'Show Of Hands' album

  • @MrTonthebass thanks dude, iTuning while we speak

  • FUCK You! I cant believe that you didnt put CLIFF Burton:

    ThE Best Bass Player

    R.I.P. Cliff

  • personally i like flea

  • really no cliff burton these are shity bass players

  • sorry by the first time a sure it i thought theres no jason newsted and cliff burton

    cliff burton and jason newsted are the ones who make music alive you got some shit taste brush your teeth to say if theres poo on it because these are the worst players i seen go and brush your teeth to see if theres any bad things there and your brain too somethings wrong with you got to the doctor he'll give you good taste with cliff and jason on it buy tick tacks with jason and cliff on it what shity players

  • Cliff Burton and all of Metallica are horrible musicians.

  • The most musical is still Macartney, the rest are only show-off.

  • You got some great ones on there but you forgot a few these guys are better than a few that you have on your list. You forgot Steve Harris of Iron Maiden,Cliff Burton of early Metallica, and Ross Valory of Journey....

  • WHERE THE FUCK IS CLIFF BURTON? are u fucking insane you cant make shit like this without including the BEST bass player that ever lived. you fucking retard. over and out.

  • hello, where is steve harris? any list of great bass players that has geddy lee but not steve harris is a joke. flea? cmon man are you kidding me

  • Two Johns missing: Deacon and Entwistle

  • faltan Gary Willis, Bernard Edwards (chic) y Meshell N'Dege Ocello

  • me quedo con chepe ariza

  • hola alguien puede decirme el nombre de esta cancion porfavor ¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

  • I don't think Flea should be on here personally. Good choice keeping that talentless hack Burton off of here though.

  • John Entwistle, Jack Bruce, Cliff Burton.....

    Great list though. Very nice video....thanks for posting!

  • There are of course many bassists not on this list who would fit right in. But this is a pretty good list. While the ones we all know are truly great, there are usually those we don't know that those we do know would gladly tip their hats to. A lot of good bassists are found in the same genre where the great drum players are hiding-in a world of jazz. Personal favorites are those who specialize in Flamenco.

  • Wheres gene simmons!?

  • Where is Bootsy Collins. Bro you should not have listed all of these names without Bootsy and Cliff. You even named Paul McCartney and he was good but definately not one of the best in the world

  • You also missed Ryan martinie from mudvayne

  • What's the song in the background? It's a very nice song.

  • no cliff burton= fail video, his bass solos a harmony comparable to a guitar solo =/

  • You got just about all of them. With respects to Cliff, he just didn't make the cut.

  • i normally dont like to comment. but this video lost all credibility with the absence of John the OX Entwistle.  sorry good list but not good enough

  • Burton and Harris are great for what they do but overall, nothing really special or unique. There are many bassists within their own genre who are far superior.

  • @mAuIsDiSc respectfully disagree. Burton, not to be underrated because of his genre, brought classical and wailing blues to the metal bass. and not emptily....just hitting notes...either. Burton was very unique.

  • @mcul2112 Oh there are some great bassists in the thrash metal genre, i would never make a statement against thrash bassists, but my point was there are many that smoke Cliff like a cheap cigarette even within his own genre, he was far from the best. He is always picked as the default bassist for thrash when there were many who put a lot more time, energy, heart and technique into it. That's always been my opinion anyway.

  • @mAuIsDiSc i think people point to him because he put in plenty of time and technique, did it a long time ago, and actually did way more with it. he wasn't a billy sheehan or whatever type technique note-wanker. he played really really good music unique to him. i think that's what resonates the most. but there is also the blind fannage...no doubt. but i think musically, he was head and shoulders. (i respect Harris, but never thought that much of him.)

  • The one who is the best bassist of the world

  • yo! metal guy's

    we know 'bout clif burton and s. harris

    behave!

  • You need to add Jack Bruce and Gustavo Dalfarra to the list:)

  • Didn't see Bootsy there .. ;/

  • i think this list is only for bassists that are still alive R.I.P John Tunderfingers Entwistle

  • aki falta carle benavent bajista catalan ole

  • John Myung!!!

  • ok I see

  • This song is Victor Wooten's "The Vision".

  • PAUL McCARTNEY, REALLY? PAUL? ARE YOU SERIOUS? ARE THESE YOUR FAVORITE BASS PLAYERS?

  • Does anyone knows who plays this song???

  • this is the only list of good bassist

  • im sorry...but...where is john entwistle?!?!?!?

  • I don't know why people keep saying "cliff?" because he was no where near these guys. Best bass players in the world is something he didn't achieve, sadly.

  • If you have any thoughts on this comment, comment me. I was on the wrong account, this is me......

  • Burton and Harris > Les any day

  • Cliff Burton???

    Steve Harris???
