Subject: Bass Player Quiz - Done

Written By: My_name_is_Kenny on 08/18/03 at 09:32 p.m.

Oh sure. Everyone remembers the lead singer. That's easy. The lead guitarist too. In many cases, the drummer. But NO ONE EVER KNOWS the bass player. Which is why it SUCKS to play bass. Not to mention the fact that you're so easily REPLACED. So, in honor of Bassist Awareness Week, I present to you thirty bass players. Match the player to the band, limit four.
