Top 10 Metal Bassists

[vitormg77]

where is John Myung?

[metalhed228]

i'm a metallica fan but i think that jason and rob shouldn't be in that top 10 list

and cliff of course n1

[swesoulc]

When it comes to "Who is the greatest metal bass player in the world".

There really isn't a anything to talk about, Cliff Burton is dead.

So just move Lemmy up to #1, he no longer has any competition.

[BAAJ1998]

@swesoulc I think that Steve Harris is a litle better than Lemmy

But Cliff is my idol and for me he is the best

[Wario21558]

+ Lemmy should be on place 1 or 2

[AntiVaccine2]

@Wario21558 see my vids&learn herbs as reishi,coriander,cayenne,pine,­maca,ginger etc :)

[Wario21558]

@AntiVaccine2 Ok :)

[Wario21558]

I only know Lemmy Kilmister and Steve Harris

the other ones are unknown for me

[viktorharris]

ok let me tell you something seriously YOU ARE A SHIT !

-Steve Harris

-DiGiorgio

-Alex Webster

-Geezer

really you are a fucking stupid man

trivium is not metal

trujillo its a cock sucker

and cliff if WAS a good player i like burtons style but its not the best

[OnlyTheMetal]

What is the song of Lemmy ?

[Wario21558]

@OnlyTheMetal It´s stay clean

[xenoflux420]

Bro, you suck.

[dharmaseed]

Really? Steve Harris below Geezer Butler?!?

[BarjramBeratovic]

Well I Thinnk Webster Should Be On Upper Places!!

[PsychorrTV]

This list is a serious cock ride.

[ei138]

to bad reggie arviznu of korn isn`t there he`s pretty awesome

[howdyimjohn1]

ALEX WEBSTER 8???????? IM SORRY WAT PLANET R WE ON???? MORE LIKE 1

[Ericlle2]

@howdyimjohn1  I completely agree.

[Ripper76320]

Lemmy+Ellefson+Newsted+Harris+­Trujillo+CLIFF BURTON!!! = The Best

Very good classment!

[apokalypse91]

why didn't you use the full 10 minutes? so you were able to show every bassist for 1 minute

[mwheeler1994]

Talk about a Metallica fan boy naming all their bass players. Minus Ron McGovney of course.

[forcexdisplacement]

YOU PUT ELLEFSON OVER ALEX WEBSTER?!?!?!?! >:(

[maidenrulz666]

@forcexdisplacement you put anyone over webster?

[forcexdisplacement]

@maidenrulz666 Lol well I just meant him especially, I'm not particularly fond of Megadeth, talented as they may be. AS far as Trujillo goes, I think he's very underrated. But I definitely think Alex tops all these players quite easily. I think him and Ryan Martinie of Mudvayne are the two best players in metal, and at least in the top five ever.

[xxxCUCxxx]

Geezer second place? Really??

Dude, where is Rex Brown from Pantera??

[thunderbluff3]

@xxxCUCxxx he should be in place of robert

[R4MM573IN]

what is that song of motorhead??

[Cookieonbass]

die



[valdanito69]

MISTER STEVE HARRIS DEFINITIVAMENTE EL NUMERO1

[79606384]

CLIFFFFFFFF the beast!!! Clifford lee Burton

[ragnaroksama]

i hope this list is not about order, but just stating the 10 best, because rlly, trujillo better than steve harris? DAFUQ R U RETARDED? (must be)

[92Uptheirons]

ahahhahahahah fucking funny. That list made my day... Trujilo better than Steve Harris? Dude you are a joke. Do you even play bass ?

[Kramers0Addict]

Hum, it's Greg Christian who play on Disciple of the Watch, not DiGiorgio....

[crossvsatila]

And Jason James....?!?!?!?! The Bassist Of BFMV

[RAMMSTEIN5579]

But why is then David Elfsson at nr7? Explain that, David is awesome!

[ricardodurst]

jaja jaja newsted n trujillo fuck metellica fan mmmmm

[ragnaroksama]

@ricardodurst trujillo's fucking good, and how can u say newsted isnt metal? fucking checkout his bass tracks dumass

[andrewwells11]

well id say someone is has a matalica byas, im sorry jason newstead and gezzer butler are not better that david ellefson and steve digiorgio

[ballspreng]

Rip cliff.

[patrolmostwanted]

CLIFF FTW!!!

[RAMMSTEIN5579]

What about Tom Araya?!

[andrewwells11]

@RAMMSTEIN5579 tom araya is a ok bassist, he just plays really fast, with the exe[tion of a few songs

[RAMMSTEIN5579]

Indeed :D



[IronMaidenTud]

what's the name of the song of Paolo Gregoletto?

[gh3gtrgod]

@IronMaidenTud Becoming the dragon - trivium

[Erimera20]

WHERE THE FUCK IS JOHN MYUNG?

[tino258852258852]

the best of ever... Cliff Burton 

[MICRO5136]

Your too big of a Metallica fanboy... Cliff is a badass don't get me wrong, but Hetfield and Ulrich did say that if Cliff would've showed up the same day Trujillo did that Cliff wouldn't have been the guy, and Trujillo shouldn't be number one. Geezer Butler should be number one next to Steve Harris

BBBBYYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

[Ulver77]

@MICRO5136 If Hetfield and Ulrich really said so, then they are not appreciating Cliff's sense for harmony and melodie, let alone his original approach to playing bass. Besides when Trujillo joined Metallica he was around 40, Cliff died at 24. So its a dumb remark. Trujillo is very good, but I prefer what Cliff did in a short period of time.

[MauryFenderBass]

If you're talking geezer metal is first after two large cliff and steve. trasyectoria great bassists but the rewards are the best.

[Rafikachimi]

CRONOS? anyone?

[730emilio]

Trujillo Should be more towards the back of the list but idk who should be 2 Steve or geezer?

[MrFuck1006]

@partyboyman156 Agree

[MrFuck1006]

R.I.P Clifford Lee Burton(better known As Cliff Burton) cliff Burton was the Best bassist who have ever livet and his Music Will live on for ever

[Th3RussBus]

Alex is 8?! Hes the best of all of them

[partyboyman156]

cliff burton is better than trujillo

[IGGoooRRRE]

what about les claypool?

[Th3RussBus]

@IGGoooRRRE Primus isnt metal though

[lihismies96]

why why why why why why why why why???????????? What's wrong with you people? wake up!!

[XTodXx]

Cual es la cancione de Lemmy ??

[janborrowitz]

I dont like Trujillo. Jason is much better

[loki2803]

1. DiGiorgio

2. Webster

3. Cliff

[TheAnarchyGamerz]

Johnny Christ shouldve been in there

[vatsacycle]

ALEX WEBSTER ATLEAST #2 Check out some of his videos

[Dethjingles995]

WTF, no Nreg Christian? what about Joey DeMaio?

You gotta be kidding me ...so cliff burton is a better bass player than Steve Harris? ! ?!

Plus, Trujillo shouldn't be even mentioned in a "TOP 10 Metal Bassists" neither should Jason

[Mozart1220]

You all left out 10 bassists I like better.

[DJMuffs123]

kool , rob 3rd , Cliff 1st , BUT NO TO ARAYA ?!?!

[ManiacFromGreece]

@DJMuffs123 Araya is an epic vocalist but the bass tabs are like 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-1-0-0-0-0-­0-0-0-0-2-2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-.­....

[4stringedninja]

No John Cambell ,Frank Bello and no Rex Brown! WTF

[HabboJorge1]

Steve Digiorgio 10 are you fucking kidding me?

[AZKuo9]

Tom Araya is missing! Why?



[hottopfade]

@AZKuo9 Because he isn't any good. He is hardly known for his bass playing. I used to laugh at Slayer bass tab when I was 14.

[Ensid1993]

Tom Araya, Cliff Burton, Robert Trujillo, Jason Newsted, Frank Bello, Dave Ellefson are the best bass players. Cliff ofc is number one

[thehipsterzone]

yeah! metal up ypure ass :D

[ninjaturtle78611]

No Tom Araya?

[alejandro3451]

uuu yeah burton is the best

[AlExPsYcHoPaTh]

OMG where is Markus Grosskopf From Helloween? omg, and Rob Trujillo? fucking monkey! it's good, but, nah, u mad bro! u dont know metal!!!

[19ToMaC89]

What's the Motörhead song? I don't know the song, but not the title, and she's awesone...

[MrBoottz]

Here's my Top 10: 10. Johnny Christ(Avenged Sevenfold) 9. Paul Gray(Slipknot) 8. David Ellefson(Megadeth) 7. Frank Bello(Anthrax) 6. Geddy Lee(Rush) 5. Les Claypool(Primus) 4. Shavo Odadjian(System of a Down) 3. Steve Harris(Iron Maiden) 2. John Myung(Dream Theater) 1. Cliff Burton(Metallica) ... RiP<3

[AlExPsYcHoPaTh]

@MrBoottz PFF, u emo! Avenged? false metal!

[EverxOpeningxFlower]

Your number 10 should be number 1, simply because he is the best bass player in metal. And.. he did many awesome albums, Autopsy's debut, lot's of Death records, Control Denied and every album from his main band Sadus (one of thrash metal's greatest bands if you ask me).

[flaco000ful]

8?????? alex websterrr????????????q les pasa???

[Kubakpsv]

[HardMusicMenno]

[yczytryczy]

IMHO --> 1. Geezer Butler  2. Cliff Burton

[joaonilo363]

Geezer is the best!

[ZodiacMeatgrinder]

[jackhame]

[saidyarrah]

rob > steve harris ? FUCK THAT SHIT

[Tjeerdoweirdo]

When it comes to talent, Alex Webster from CC is the best in my opinion. Bassists like Steve Harris and Cliff are the most legendary of course but Alex Webster just can play it all, really.

[SlayerJes]

Steve Digiorgio number 10? Lemmy number 9? mmmm. At least Cliff is number one.

[valinjls]

atleast cliff is where he belongs

[SLASHdaROCKER]

Jason Newsted higher than Lemmy, Alex Webster and Dave Ellefson? Rob is too high and Geezer should be first. AND WHERE IS GEDDY LEE?!?!

[ManiacFromGreece]

Ellefson at 7 Steve Harris at 4 and Rob Trujillo at 3?!?!?!?Oh really?Metallica fanboy...

[thunderbluff3]

@ManiacFromGreece ellefson should be at 7 but truelleo and lemmy need to switch and put les claypool

[kabob998]

[ChrisVrulez]

Loved your list but Rob should not have been number 3

[terrence77477]
