Playing 800 notes a second does not a musician make.  There is no "feeling".  There is no expression other then rage or anger.

I like Metal music also...Metallica for one.  But that requires less talent and has fewer parts.

2 guitars and a Bass and drums maybe a keyboard does not a symphony make.

Fewer parts, less intricacy less expression.  It can sound good.  But it sure ain't great   ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzMJhOwBLqw <-- Metallica - Orion.   Just 1 metal song that has everything you say metal doesn't have.  Nice try though.  I picked this one, since you say you like metallica.

Just curious, do you play any instruments?

I was also 6 rows from them for the Test for Echo and Vapor Trails tours.   Last two were the best though, they did 2112 in it's entirety.   Only song I wish they'd do nowadays is "In The End."   My favorite song by them.

Gabby gets a bit annoying but this is a nice Bass heavy jam.  Les Claypool with Gabby La La, Benevento/Russo Duo (Great drummer and keys duo, always have fun at their shows), Phil Lesh (if you don't know who he played bass for I'm just going to pretend I don't know you), and Mike Gordon (something a little Phishy :D ).

I'd like to get the whole DVD just to watch the rest of the jam.

Crank the bass on your system for the best effect.

Everyone knows Metallica has been worthless since Load, probably before that a bit actually.

I personally think they've been worthless since  "...and justice for all."

Ok knowing that, i find it kind of suprising or actually weird that you would generalize an entire genre of music and  musicians, some of which also have "formal musical training", the way you did.  Take just one guy like randy rhoads as an example.

I'm not trying to change your mind though,  I guess i  took your blanket statement to heart, and not as just an opinion.  To each their own.

If we're talking "Rock bass players"?   "My Generation" sets the bar.

Ah LOL!!! Your talkin that old 60s Hippy standard...
The Who were always a little too fruity for me...
Too tinny sounding, and not enough power..
Always liked Cream better...

Sabbath set the NEW standard... And started a
whole new genre.. Besides, if you isolate the base
tracks on those 2 songs, it becomes obvious...
The "Geez" was the man!!!

But its cool, everybody has their pref...
