Is it possible for a band to actually to make music without a bassist? like Blind Guardian? or Dragonforce? (If dragonforce has a bassist you can't really hear the bass) ???????

It is, but I personally don't like it.
I think not having a bassist or just not being able to hear it is annoying.
Bass gives metal that extra low end and thick texture when it's able to be heard well.
Just my opinion though.

Ive been a long term fan of ian glasper( stampin ground, suicide watch) when it comes to bassists. proper full on thrash bassist hes racing the guitars yet knows when to bring the groove sometimes. I use a similer style when i play bass.
