I personally dont think he's a good bassist, true he posesses tremendus technical skill but in the band he just goes off the beat and plays something random sometimes.

He distorts it so much it sounds like a guitar which I don't believe is the point of a bass solo. However he is very talented.

It's not a high tone. It's distortion. Slapped distortion in my opinion sounds like warmed over poo. Cliff Burton did the same thing with Anasthesia, I didn't care for that either. It's no fun to play without distortion, and i'm pretty conservative when it comes to bass, so I say I don't care.

What the hell does that have to do with bass? Go to the chatterbox for nonsense.

I like some distortion though some just doesn't work. He is an okay bassist but not the best.

actually it was a metaphor, like cliff burton kicks as much arse as chuck norris, leat i'm pretty sure thats what he meant.

I thought he was really good, and I didnt say he was the best so nobody better start that crap "theres better" cause I am well aware there is lol. Tapping is not personally a favorite of mine but some of the tapping he did in it i did enjoy the sound of it was really melodic. I do beleive that he really didnt do much other then what a guitarist would do if they picked up a bass though. My opinion though.

I did like Anesthasia, I like they use of the wah in it. and I do sometimes like when a bassist throughs in the tapping normally assosiated with guitar, though i prefer there to be plenty of other content with it.

Woah, he's fast! He's obviously very talented at playing quickly, but I think bass is about rythym, and he's playing so quickly that there's no rythym too it at all. I think that sort of playing should be left to the guitarist. It looks impressive though.

To me, a good bass player gets down to the basics. Good hand position, in tune notes, all that jazz. On top of that, they have to be proud, and get a full bass sound to be proud of, none of the wimpy stuff you sometimes see/hear. You can bang your head or dance around all you want on stage, but if you're not making pretty sounds, you just look like an idiot.
