Greatest jazz-rock bassist/singer of all time.
>>32952796>>32952807>saddid he died?
>>32952807>Slipknot>Good anything
>>32952747It deeply saddens me that he isnt in the band anymore.
Greg Lake was not that a great of a player, but he was indeed the greatest performer in the history of bass.
So what is the best genre of music for good bassists? Jazz?
My personal favorite is still Greg Lake.
>>32952888>>32952896bro

>>32952892overall Jazz, soul, funk, and anything influenced by jazz (prog rock) might have a decent bassist.

>>32953072But it's like the sound. The influence man.

>>32953072He was one of the first to play mostly high notes, especially in punk rock
>>32953059he still would be a great bassist, because he influenced so many others.>>32953054ARE YOU SERIOUS? He plays like a child. His lines look like binary codes 11101010101110
