I'm not much into the names behind the music, but the bassist of Iron Maiden rules :D

Steve Harris is the bassist for Maiden. All the members of Maiden should be in the top five of their craft. 8)

Ahhh the Seville Concert, watch Sakura and Concierto de Aranjuez: Adagio Movement...those are sweet as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEx1-k5TZSs - Sakura

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS48Uwo4NzA - Aranjuez

I've got the theme and first two variations to Sakura down :P

And a little fun fact now, one time while John Williams and Andres Segovia were talking guitar Williams offered Segovia a joint and Segovia had no idea what he was talking about. :lol:

Sid Vicious is the epitome of poser. He didn't even play bass for the sex pistols he stood up there and looked pretty. They mostly had another bassist playing in the background and in recordings.

Aye, Glen Matlock.


Yep, couldn't remember the first name thought the last name was matlock.

Sorry, but six is neccessary. And no instrument is the best in rock/metal, all are needed.
