windy1 Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Not sure of the title - When the Bullet Hits the Bone - Golden Earring
MindCrime Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 Rage against the machine - Take the power back Just wondering, but has anyone other than me heard this song? I have, it's on their debut self-titled album ____________________ Not sure of the title - When the Bullet Hits the Bone - Golden Earring Twilight Zone
GnR4Ever Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 I know its not the best but i like the bassline in My Generation by the Who
Jugband_Blues Posted October 15, 2004 Report Posted October 15, 2004 what about, "we will rock you" by queen. its not really on a bass guitar, but its the beat of the song.
Catherine Posted October 16, 2004 Report Posted October 16, 2004 I played a cool song today that I had not heard in years, and it has a great bass line: "Turn Me Loose" - (Scott Smith) Loverboy ::
MuzikTyme Posted October 16, 2004 Report Posted October 16, 2004 Rage against the machine - Take the power back Reminds me of another tight bass line; Testify. I always think of Ramblin' On by Led Zeppelin when I think of good bass. The six string bass in Aerosmith's Back in the Saddle has it's place.
XXX Posted October 16, 2004 Report Posted October 16, 2004 "Sensitive", Mick Karn. The bassist of Japan. It´s cover of a song of brezilian singer Roberto Carlos. I was gonna give up on this topic with all this bs about Pink Floyd and Yes, but this comment brought that thought to a grinding halt. Japan RULZ! As far as bass that kicks ass, I look to Peter Hook of NewOrder ::
Danielj Posted October 16, 2004 Report Posted October 16, 2004 I know I've asked this before XXX, but where do you find out about all these obscure bands? I've heard of Japan and Roxy Music but where do you come up with the rest?

I've heard of Japan and Roxy Music but where do you come up with the rest? :: It's obscure to you because you didn't get the chance to hear them on the radio (80s KROQ and Pirate Radio in the early 90s here in So Cal) or see their music vids on Night Flight or Friday Night Videos. NewOrder was (in my mind it still is) one of the better known bands to come from the 80s. You should give them a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Since you're on a budget, I suggest you begin with a collection of their hits like Substance, International, or The Best Of NewOrder.

There was such a great music scene in the 80´s... even I can hardly recall. Just like John, Paul, George, Yourself and Ringo would say, "Your mother should know"... you´re lucky, Dannyboy, you still have great music to discover. We can lend a hand and we will!
Karhul Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 All around the world by the red hot chilli peppers. Come as you are by Nirvana. They have good bass lines!!!.
mad wombat Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 My "old school" votes": "The Magnificent Dance" by the Clash "Sleepless" by King Crimson "Voices Inside My Head" by the Police "Low Rider" by War "Sample and Hold" by Neil Young "Riders On the Storm" by The Doors "Whipping Post" (primarily the intro) by the Allman Brothers "I'm a Man" by Chicago
cosmosis Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 nice set. It's probably already around here somewhere, but you can't mention YYZ too many times :guitar:
Steel2Velvet Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 [quote I always think of Ramblin' On by Led Zeppelin when I think of good bass.
nobody_home Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver" has probably the tightest bassline ever. Les Claypool is a freak on the bass :guitar:
guitarshredder Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 my generation - the who c'mon its one of the first rock songs with a bass solo
Aunt_Acid Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 There is a plethora of good basslines on Fragile. Roundabout Five Percent For Nothing Long Distance Runaround Heart of The Sunrise (there are a few cool ones in here)
CaptainMikeRS Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Anything by Rush (unless it's heavy on synth but it's still awesome) especially The Big Money and Marathon Aerosmith- Sweet Emotion Yes- Roundabout The Divine Comedy- Gin Soaked Boy U2- Vertigo Dream Theater- Metropolis Pt 1 (and more) Geddy Lee (solo)- My Favorite Headache Genesis- Invisible Touch The Moody Blues- Question The Rolling Stones- Sympathy for the Devil A lot of my own bass lines (I'm the bassist as well as keyboards and lead vocals) are really thick too, maily on my progressive rock songs, the more pop/rock ones use moderate bass lines and the soft rock ones I'm mainly on piano and the only bass is from the lower keys.
Steel2Velvet Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Nights On Broadway - The BeeGees Who Loves You Pretty Baby - The 4 Seasons
_Jayson_ Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Nativity In Black (N.I.B.) - Black Sabbath But This ,(if it works), is the best bass solo i've ever heard. By the one and only Les Claypool.
cosmosis Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 man what's with that freewebs site. My IP blocker never lets me go there.
