Lee Sklar


if my memory serves me correct..... wasn't he the bassist for Iron Butterfly ?????

ps - how come no one mentioned Danny Bonaduce from the Partridge Family ??? :lol:


I don't recall Lee playing with Iron Butterfly. He has played with just about everyone else. I think he was recently touring with Toto.

I've always enjoyed the bass playing of Krist Novoselic and Nate Mendel. I'm also partial to Donald Duck Dunn and Jack Bruce.

Sting definitely shows that he is the best bassist of all time just by playing.

The most innovative and influential (and tragic):

Jaco Pastorius -- Weather Report

James Jamerson -- Funk Bros.

I watched a video on YouTube last night. It was Jaco, John McLaughlin and Al DiMeola. All acoustic, totally amazing. It's perfomances like that that show me there's no one in any genre of rock who can compare to the genius that exsists in jazz, classical and flamenco. I know there's shredders out there who will disagree vehemently, but they're just wrong.

Ok, metalheads...hit me with the hate button!!! :lol:

You beg the question, whats more genius? A guy who can play in 8/7 time, with shifthing tempos, and ambiguous key signatures, cleanly and accuratley, with no klinckers , or a guy who raises the hair on your neck with the first note of a standard Three Chord Blues (ya know like Buddy Guy on Damn Right I Got the Blues)?

That's a damn good question. I should quantify myself and say I was speaking about technical virtuosity. You're right, genius doesn't always refer to virtuosity in music. I consider Gilmour a genius and he's by no means a virtuoso guitar player. Sometimes genius is just the outstanding ability to convey emotion with your instrument.

Of couse it's possible to have both, like Al Dimeola and John McLaughlin. Then there Al Pitrelli, who has Been in Megadeth, Savatage, and The Tran-Siberian Ochestra. I like his Trans-Siberian stuff best, but his stint in Megadeth is worth checking out ("World Need a Hero" CD "Rude Awakening" DVD).

That's why it's so hard to like one Genere of Music. I used to hate Speed Metal and Thrash, until I heard the right songs (Megedth's "Lucerita" is what did it for me).
