Part three of a study on bassists: TRADITIONAL METAL I chose three bassists, each having great skill with their instrument, and each being in a band that has a rather decent following. So, which of these bassists, from Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, or Dio is your favorite? Steve Harris is mine, for obvious reasons.

Harris, no contest - possibly the best bassist ever IMO.

Steve Harris easy! Props to Geezer Butler though. He could easily win a "Doom Bassists" poll.

Five years ago I would have said Harris easily. I'm feeling Geezer these days, so I chose him. He doesn't play as many notes as Steve Harris, but I like his choices on what he plays better. Both are good songwriters, with Geezer's contributions being the lyrics to mostly Iommi-penned songs. Still a very close call that could easily change tomorrow. Jimmy Bain is solid as well. For some reason I expected Ian Hill to be the third guy, but I doubt he'd get much in terms of votes. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

Oh yeah, in terms of skill and playing it has to be Harris but I love Butler and he is of course a metal legend!
