| Post subject: | Best metal bass |
This has probably been covered before, but I'm too lazy to search, so here goes again. My band recently got a new bassist, and though he's not too bad, he's pretty new to metal. He enjoys lots of it but just doesn't know much. So I wanted to compile a cd of songs featuring awesome displays of metal bass prowess. I realize this is a bit of an oxymoron but I thought you gentlemen might have some suggestions anyway. What do you got?! So far I'm going to include some tracks by Quo Vadis, Origin, Unexpect, Augury, Atheretic and Brain Drill. |

Mudvayne -- Death Blooms Between The Buried And Me -- Viridian Dream Theater -- Metropolis, pt. I The Mars Volta -- Viscera Eyes Not all strictly Metal, but all have some excellent bass playing. Also, Brain Drill is pretty terrible. |

Between The Buried And Me -- Viridian Dream Theater -- Metropolis, pt. I The Mars Volta -- Viscera Eyes. Yes. I might also have him listen to BtBaM--Prequel to the Sequel since Viridian isn't really metal bass, though it is amazing. Other suggestions: Protest the Hero--Bone Marrow Protest the Hero--A Plateful of Our Dead ^probably my favorite bassist in metal. |

Definately go for songs from Mudvayne's 'L.D. 50' and Cryptopsy's 'None So Vile'. |

What kind of metal do you guys play? In any case, works from Steve Harris and Stevie Digorgio is a must to cover the basics. |

If I were to say individual songs off those albums, then go: Mudvayne: Death Blooms, Nothing To Gein, Cradle Cryptopsy: Slit Your Guts, Orgiastic Disembowelment |

Guys, this isn't the right way. Start simple with Motely Crue. Throw in some Robin Trower and Led Zeppelin after that. I would also suggest some early Danzig. |

Indeed! 
Lemmy too! 
And, well, I've always liked the bassworks of Mr. Phil Lynott in Thin Lizzy, simple and efficient.
