Makes me wonder what kind of insanity they would've put out if Claypool would have ended up playing with them back in the day

8/20/2009 1:34:33 PM

I thought that dude from Mr. Big was supposed to be the best ever

Roger Waters never really impressed me with his bass playing. His song writing >>>>>>>>>>>> his bass playing

8/20/2009 1:37:21 PM

honestly, I don't think les claypool would have been a good fit with metallica.

stylistically i don't think it would have worked.

I really like this one bassist, oh man, I can't remember his name...

He always plays over on the side of the stage, slightly overweight, looks a little dopey actually, kinda sticks his chin out while hunched over, has this half-asleep look on his face. I'm sure one of you guys knows who I'm talking about.

Stu Hamm? (played w/ Joe Satriani for years)

8/20/2009 2:36:30 PM
