Nikki Sixx from motley crue is the most technically proficient and original bass player ever !!!
just kidding.
billy sheehan.
i saw him when he was in talas, they opened up for yngwie malmsteen, i had no idea who he was and only cared about guitar, any idiot could play bass, it only had 4 strings and you didn't do anything with them.
he blew me away, i'll never forget it. i saw him years later when he and steve vai played for david lee roth and he still blew me away.
you know that solo cliff burton plays on "kill em all" ? as awesome as that is, billy sheehan did shit i have never heard of or seen before or since, and made that solo look like crap.
