That's "Kiss Alive 1 & 2 " Brewer. And yes Gene Simmons as a bassist isn't too keen. As a showman? One of the best.

Here's my list,parroting some others,some not.

1. Billy Sheehan

I can't believe this guy is getting skipped over. He is a rock bass god.

2. Geddy Lee.

Love him.

3. Les Claypool.

Got to meet him,have a sighned photo from a show which my buddy took,he can do damn near anything.

4. Steve Harris

Pure Metal!!

5. Chris Squire

He was badass.(From Yes)

6. Stanley Clarke

This guy is why Claypool and Flea have careers.

7. Lemmy

C'mon,it's freakin' LEMMY!

8. Cliff Burton

When he died Metallica began to suck ass. Nuff said.

9. Flea

The guy is good. He gets a 9 though.

10. John Entwistle(better than McCartney)

These guys were never just "there". That's just an unknowledgable statement musically. This list could go on,these are my favorites. Not all bassists have big profiles. Judas Priests Ian Hill doesn't do much,but without him there would never have been a Priest. I'm babbling~AA
