One thought on “Top 10 Metal Bassists of All Time

  1. Gene Simmons and Nikki 6…. Are you for real? Simmons sounds like an ape using a “Brick for a Pick!!!” And Nikki Six is just decent. Listen to Natural Science and YYZ and you will hear the greatest Bass Boss ever!!!! For those who can’t figure it out ….. It’s Geddy Lee
