      lol... and in other comments you are defending Metallica which bass lines are doubling guitar all the time which I don't think is that bad, but you are not going to listen bass arrangements in any of the big 4 bands if it's not Anthrax. The only thing that is similar in bass distinction were Cliff solos which are basically guitar solos on a bass

      Definitely... first time i heard Anthrax it was their album Among the Living and hearing the thunderous bass on that album made me a fan instantly... Frankie is criminally underrated. He's the most down to earth rockstar you'll ever meet also, it was a pleasure chatting with him for a few minutes before a show

    I remember me and him had a “chat “ at a slayer concert and while I was surviving in a crowd he kept trying to throw me picks but after many failed attempts we both gave up looked at each, put up the horns and said “you rock”.
    He honestly seems like such a nice guy and sick bassist

      I saw Anthrax supporting Iron Maiden way back at NEC Birmingham, I went for Anthrax not Maiden, but had a seated ticket. I was going mental in my seat, moshing myself during Anthrax set, Frank kept pointing to me and headbanging in time. He recognised me in a crowd of 12000.

    As someone who just picked up a bass last year, at age 56, I've had trouble learning to play with a pick...it just feels funky. Now I know that there will be a time that I'm going to master it, but watching Bello play these riffs with his fingers? I feel like there is still hope for me... I doubt I'll ever get half as good as Bello...I'd be happy to be 1/16th as good.. LOL...I'ma gonna keep practicing!

      Ever since Metallica sued their fans for illegally sharing their music, I have had a hard time with them. Typically (in my opinion) that is how heavy music gets publicity. They rarely play any heavy music on the radio, so sharing is the best way to get out there. So it is like suing the people that got you famous in the first place. Speaking of bassists though, Cliff Burton was one of my favorite bassists. Jason Newstead is good, Robert Trujillo isn't as innovative as the others.
