Top Five Favorite Rock Bassist/Drummer?Music

[RacingGameFan22]

I wanted to make this into separate threads, but I was afraid that the mods would consider it a little bit too much. anyway, skin masters first....

My favorite Drummers

1. Neal Peart of Rush - "God On Drums" - Vinnie Paul Abbott of Pantera and Damageplan
2. John Bonham of Led Zeppelin - Set the bar for Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Skinmasters so high even his own son, Jason, can't reach it.
3. Matt Cameron of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam - Anybody capable of drumming like a Civil War drummer boy deserves a spot on my list, very underrated drummer.
4. Stewart Copeland of The Police - Not a bad Drummer for the son of the founder of the CIA.
5. Tommy Lee of Motley Crue - Very Unique and Eccentric drummer; Inspired David Silveria of Korn

now for the rumble masters....

1. Les Claypool of Primus - (no more needs to be said about that.)
2. Ian "Lemmy" Kilmeister of Hawkwind and Motorhead - was (as far as I know) the very first bassist to play the strings with a pick.
3. John Entwistle of The Who - The Most Aggressive Bass Player of all time; influenced countless Bassists.
4. John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin - skills as a arranger and keyboard and mandolin master overshadowed his bass playing, but his opening bass line in "Dazed and Confused" defined Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Bass Player for the next fourty years.
5. Terry "Geezer" Butler of Black Sabbath - as with JPJ, Songwriting skills got in the way of his astounding bass playing.

Have At It!
