I would pay good GOOD money to see this pro and Victor Wooten have a friendly bass groove competition... only sheer awesomeness multiplied by 5.43 could ensue

Sthlrd... I don`t care about your crappy taste in music and how you are completly biased to some halfassed glam rocker, ignoring reality and the rest of the world where normal people live.

Mark King has been pretty much owned the bass scene for around 30 years, pretty much only surpassed among musicians by the bass player in Tower of Power. This is not even his best, its a usual live routine... On his solo album (where they actually added on the backside of the cover "All instruments on this record are played in normal speed") he pretty much kills. Now go back to your tigerstriped spandex and big fro, remembering the time when you heard a Rush album and had somethng resembling a penis. Your dreams has nothing to do with real life.
Amateur... You really are all kinds of stupid.

Harafnir ^ I can understand your issues with Rush, but you completely fail to acknowledge Primus, who are generically about as distant from Rush as you can feasibly get. Mark King may have previously owned what you call the "bass scene" (I didn`t realise individual instruments had their own scenes) but rest assured, Les Claypool now well and truly pwns it. King though technically awesome is largely indistinguishable from other technically awesome bassists in terms of originality. Whereas Claypool is equally proficient AND has single handedly invented a genre of his own (Check your list on Windows Media Player - You may notice that Primus are the only band in history to be listed as their own genre.) Have you even heard of them? Are you aware that the 80s ended some considerable time ago?
