chrismuzz Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I used to think faster/flashier = better. My favourite Metallica bassist is probably Jason Newsted now because he supports the song, has a great tone, and great stage presence. When I was a teenager I didn't rate him quite as highly!

Skol303 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) It'd have to be Cliff for me as a preference, simple because of his originality at the time (mid '80s) and his central role in the band's early success. But Rob T is a great bass player too. I've been following him since his days in Suicidal Tendencies. Nice bloke by all accounts; he helped to restore one of Jaco's basses and return it to the Pastorius family. I'm not such a fan of Jason, but I do have one of his plectrums at home (somewhere?!) if any fans here are interested in paying ca$h for it As an aside - if anyone's interested - I actually have a 'remix' of Cliff Burton's classic bass solo on SoundCloud. Most of you will hate it for being an unmusical wall of noise... the rest of you will hate it for being a sacrilegious reworking of a classic! Those remaining might just like it...

Ou7shined Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 So am I the only one who thinks Rob shits on all of them... of course he doesn't get to in Metallica like... but everything outside of it he's a monster. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have got the gig if he wasn't. Obviously I look back at Cliff with fondness because he's of my generation and from a time when I actually was into the band but as for being technically the best..... ? Catch him on a good day (before his first hit) then maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gust0o Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I didn't really rate Jason when I was younger, mainly as you couldn't really hear him... now I know it was a deliberate decision by the other members of Metallica, I'm left wondering. You can't watch Some Kind Of Monster and not think the rest of the band are pure dickheads, Hetfield leading the curve on that one, and that Jason had a point in getting out. The Justice For Jason stuff on Youtube is very good, and he works well with the songs. Cliff I like, but am not wondering if it's just some sentimentality in there. Rob is good, just not my cup of tea. We're all on here banging on about posture and he looks like he's squatting for a sh*t every time he gets on stage... just adds some comic appeal. He's probably the best of the three players, mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Never got to see Cliff live. Jason was alright. Saw Rob playing with Suicidal Tendencies @ Clash of the Titans. Broke a string during "Send me your money". Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
