Celebrate!

We count down the greatest bassists in hard rock and metal history.

This is it! We've made it to the final round of our Greatest Metal Bassist competition. Having started with 32 bassists, we're now down to only two. This matchup is for the gold and we couldn't have asked for a much better final pairing than this!

We've got two semifinal battles for you to vote on and both feature incredibly intriguing matchups. In this first battle, two of the genre's most progressive bassists go head-to-head for a spot in the finals.

Ready for our first quarterfinal matchup? We've got a tough one for you right off the bat, pitting an original master against a technical virtuoso.

Get ready for an insanely difficult decision in this Round 2 battle between two ultra-technical wizards.

This matchup in Round 1 of our Greatest Metal Bassist competition is a progressive metal fan's wet dream. Get yourselves ready for a choice tough enough to induce tears.
