well, Juan Alderete & Omar Rodriguez (guitar) are both mexicans, are great musicians, and are part of Mars Volta. Here we are proud of having mexicans (like me) in one very famous metal band.

Re: Best Bassist?

Actually darl, Omar's from Puerto Rico.. Cedric is half Mexican, he's the vocalist.
Also, they're not a metal band, but I'm glad you know who they are, cos they're freakin' amazing. Juan just rocks my world, he's one cool dude.

cheers

Re: Best Bassist?

I personally think that Les Claypool is the best bassist... but i dont really look for good bassists.. i just happen to listen to some buckethead and heard les and got a primus cd and realizing les is amazing and very skilled at what he does.......

Re: Best Bassist?

Apparently I voted for Waters. Don't know what I was thinking there. I'd have to go ahead and change my vote to Chris Squire.
