BassBus Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 This clip appeared on my recommendations on youtube. Most are not what I would describe as the greatest but that's just my opinion. Any others you can think of that might be better? Quote
Evil Undead Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 It's gotta be For Whom The Bell Tolls for me. Simple but awesome \m/ Quote
risingson Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I've heard a lot of them before and I couldn't agree or disagree on any one of them. I'd say there were plenty of better ones. Quote
dc2009 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 It's a shame that the greatest intro of all time was done on a guitar with an octave pedal.... I swear hoppus cocks up in the second run through of that riff and scuffs a note, useless bass player imho Quote
Michaelg Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) off the top of my head this is probably my favourite i quite like the bass riff here to be honest i don't really know many tracks that have bass intros Edited May 22, 2011 by Michaelg Quote
EskimoBassist Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Managed to guess that Hysteria would be number 1 without even watching the clip. Deserved inclusion of Jeremy Was A Racecar Driver though IMHO, ncie little bass part that. Quote
Ed_S Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Partial to a bit of "Colour My XTC" by Talisman, myself.. classic bit of Marcel! Quote

But I've never really regarded him as a particularly amazing player so it doesn't suprise me in the least. But I guess their music was never really about perfection so perhaps it doesn't matter that much. Quote

Still haven't seen EITS live, but I really want to. If it weren't for exams I would have seen them this month in Manchester. Quote
BassBus Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 DOH!!! Should have thought of this one. Quite topical with the current tour happening. Quote

Apart from the intro most of hysteria was played by Matt Bellamy with a pick for the bass? random fact haha Mr. Big - Addicted to that rush espeically live! Wicked intro! And speical mention to Dood with Real - I want the world Nuclear Rabbit - Truth's Ugly head simple but great! Amazing bass playing on that track! Though yes i'd say Hysteria is possibly the best rock (just rock) intro for bass! For metal, i'd give Dream Theater - Panic Attack a shout, with Orion and for whom the bell tolls also come to mind, Stranglers - Peaches and Pink Floyd - Money more for iconic-ness Quote
bobbass4k Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) And if you discount the actual intro: Simple but so very effective And about a hundred others, but that's the one most people don't know and should Edited May 22, 2011 by bobbass4k Quote
