Is it true that bassist in the band can never outshine their fellow bandmates?

Unless the bassist is the singer? Or maybe if you're Cliff Burton....

*looks at Sheehan and Stu Hamm*

Mmm, no

 

[langsuir]

What do you mean outshine? In terms of popularity? Or performance-wise?

i dun think a smart bassist would want to outshine his bandmates... takes the meaning out of the word 'band'...

but if u talk abt standing out instead... ->Cliff Burton, 'nuff said

(edit: wah piang eh ppl, so late no need sleep ah lol :lol: )
