Who's the Greatest Bassist of All Time?

[Dwarf lord]

Steve Tyler still wishes he was Jagger though, hey so does the guy from the Black Crows. Jagger pownz P10101010101 lol.

See, I don't think that Mick Jagger is that great of a singer. On the other, hand I think Tyler is a great singer.

 

[SuperBoon]

Steve Harris, Iron Maiden

Tyler still wants to be him, right down to the strut.

Yeah, I thought a little less of Moon when I read that.

I also read that John Bonham

Spoiler

**** in Jimmy Page's girlfriend's purse because she annoyed him. Drummers are quire insane, I guess.

I seem to remember something about Bonham and Plant getting it

Spoiler

on with a groupie and a

fish

Spoiler

somehow ending up in the mix.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Bonzo pooed in her shoe, not her purse.

She would've just placed it on a pedestal and sold it for $8,000.

Sadly, I cannot rule this out as a possibility. It makes her even more revolting as a result.

all this talk of bonham made me remember a song from a local band. (the rugburns)

Me and Eddie Vedder




Houses of the Holy
Was an album by Led Zeppelin
I bought it on eight track
Not on CD
Fades out in the middle
The way an eight track's s'posed to
The way an eight track's s'posed to

I got the number thirteen
Tattooed on my bicep
The thirteenth letter of the alphabet
Is the letter ";M";
Stands for marijuana
The way that it oughta
The way a letter oughta

The ";Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test";
Was a novel by Tom Wolfe
It's about taking LSD
And driving 'cross the country
Drivin' in a school bus
A school bus on LSD
The way an education oughta be

I wanna drive a school bus
Over to the Brady's
And pick up Alice
And then we'll bake some brownies
And then I'll grab Marcia
And play with her Ouija board
And talk to Mr. Brady

Houses of the Holy
Was a really *****in' album
Bonzo kicks ass on it
And then he chokes on his vomit
The way a rock star's s'posed to die
The way a rock star's s'posed to die
The way a rock star's s'posed to die

I wanna die wasted
In a room with Eddie Vedder
We could both die together
But he'll go first
Yeah Eddie'll go first
'Cause he's more famous
More famous than the Rugburns

When you buy our coffins
Put eight tracks in 'em
Playin' Houses of the Holy
'Cause it's a really *****in' album
Remember when I told you
Remember how it fades out
Remember when I told you

I hope that song fades out in the middle.

I hope that song fades out in the middle.

sadly it doesn't, and for some reason I thought that the onsg was known all over untill I spoke about it to a friend of mine who lived in Hershey, and he was like "who?"

 

[muertevilla]

[muertevilla]

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day. I actually laughed out loud.
I'm so going to do that later. Nice sig muertevilla. CFH
And I'm just going to assume that "other" is Cliff Burton. That's where my vote went.

Same here.

 

[Man-Thing]

CLIFF!!!

 

[KingOfDreams]

I can't believe you left off Les Claypool.

 

[jaguarr]

I have to say, the guys over at Coming Soon really know how to run one of these kinds of contests.

[Daisy]

At least they have Jaco in there. I was worried at the beginning of the thread.

 

[marcofthebeast]

Someone above mentioned Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. Everyone listen to Iron Maiden's Killers album Funk Metal Supreme.
Phil Lynott is probably my second favorite.
