Chris Squire (YES), Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)... So many.

Billy Gould from Faith No More as well. Bassists dont get much love from the media.

hahaha

me and my buddies crack chris squire jokes whenever we talk about Yes. "Who's the bassist for Yes again? He's really good." "Who the fuck cares." "I think he started that fender knockoff company Squier..." As for me liking Zappa, he was a musical savant. He'd sit down and write music for 18 hours a day with just a pen and paper. No instruments. He somehow wrote serious, competent music with sexually explicit and borderline offensive music.

I've actually seen Dream Theater live, when I saw them at the House of Blues, Portnoy was wearing a Dwight Howard jersey with a superman logo instead of the Magic logo.

My favorite drummers though are:
1. Gavin Harrison
2. Michael Giles
3. Terry Bozzio

Not to get all Main streamy.... But Dirk Lance was a damn fine bassist for Incubus.

Basically Rundgren's Utopia with Steve Hillage instead of Todd. No complaints from me...

Drummers are tough, because it is not my main instrument... but of all time.

1. Neal Peart
2. John Bonham
3. Ginger Baker

I was never that big on Peart, but then again im not big on Rush either. lol I think from a technical standpoint gavin harrison is much better.

I know you can't see this at work JS, but you should check this song out later. Got some of the coolest fills I've heard in awhile.

 

[SLY]

Recommend me your favorite Zappa album, that you think I (with my taste in my mind) would enjoy the most. I will grab it. I have not given him enough of a chance.

I'll check it out later. I always HATED Rush for the longest time... I friggin love them now.

I've been on a HUGE Pat Metheny kick lately.

Hmm... Joe's Garage is a great album and probably gives you an idea of what Zappa's all about.

If not that one, I'd recommend getting both Apostrophe and Overnite Sensation as they're sister albums. (Even packaged together usually) One Size fits All is good too for his more accessible stuff.

Edit: Also if you like Metheny, Frank has some great jazz/jazz fusion/experimental jazz albums.

Now were talking... Kind of the direction I am going in musically. Always loved jazz. Trying to get more into fusion myself. Some of the chords and scales are killer.

Yeah, I only know 1 or 2 "Jazz Chords"

I used to know more, but stopped practicing that exercise. Shit is HARD.
