61) Mike Duda - W.A.S.P.



He nearly knocked himself out walking into the mic stands a few times, when I saw WASP in Manchester last year.
Really nice guy tho'.

I disagree with john paul jones an paul mcartney now you people are judging famous bass players lets face it they both play root notes.

i would say jaco, phil, and of course les claypool who copletley chnged bass playing
as phill in the more jaming music scene
jaco with his jazz fusion and harmonics
and les claypool with inventing his own way on how to play bass and he never has lessons

What's the big outrage? The list is nowhere near 100. If you want them on, just add them.

These threads are not the typical Top 100 lists to be picked apart and criticized. They're a participatory thing, an opportunity for anyone on the board to add somebody they like. They're in no particular order, and everybody has their own reasons for the names they post.
