rushbo Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 That was a last-minute-on-Friday-whack-something-out-and-lets-go-to-the-pub piece if ever I saw one. Still, makes you think don't it? Honourable mentions to: Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick (perpetual motion redefined) This Charming Man (Andy Rourkes Finest Moment in a career full of Fine Moments) Chameleon (is Synth Bass allowed?) Mayor Of Simpleton (Colin FREAKIN' Moulding) Burlesque (there's nowhere near enough love for John Wetton round these parts) Free Will (Definitive Geddy) Ozone Baby (John Paul Jones whips it out) And others. That was fun.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It certainly was, yeah. The dvd menu is Alan jumping around to the track, as you mention. But it is cleverly looped and all sub menus match up. Its a work of art.

ezbass Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Rhythm Stick The Real Me Rio Mr Big Come Together Town Called Malice I Wish Pump It Up Wherever I Lay My Hat (or any of Pino's stuff from the first 2 Paul Young albums or Go West) Red Rain (Sledgehammer, Big Time, Don't Give Up. Us is an absolute bass gold mine) Oh the list is endless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Apple Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Just the first few notes from Stu Morrow on NMA's vengeance, and I'm up and wrecking... And the rest of it's great too..

BigRedX Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 After all the comments I was expecting something truly awful, but actually it's not that bad. At least half the tracks deserve to be there. I'd have gone for some more synth/sequenced bass like "Der Mussolini" and "I Feel Love", but that's just what I like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Oh, and I must be about the only bassist who's ever covered "These Boots Are Made For Walking" without including the descending bassline! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimR Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 [quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1339965060' post='1697017'] I particularly like the way that Flea is the first thing you see, yet he isn't actually included. Which is fair enough, but Daft Punk and Interpol (?) is. awesome [/quote] I quite like his efforts on You Ought to Know - Alanis Morissette. Sp? 10 greatest bass lines? What makes a great bass line?

[/quote] Ha well I remember as a young teenager buying it in the run up to Leeds festival to try and figure out who would be playing. I say buying, I mean borrowing, I was always more of a Kerrang reader - though that's another weekly that's gone down the pan, around the time of the first wave of american emo bands (shudder shudder).

xgsjx Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Walk on the wild side has a memorable "Walking" bassline? I take it NME stands for No Musical Experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Fever, including some of the other versions. Even played solo, just about everyone in the universe knows what it is, apart from Anna Conrad of course. To many for me to list.

There's the solo in "My Generation" but that's just a solo the rest of the song is all about the vocals As for Jack Bruce, while there's plenty of notable guitar parts in Cream I doubt I'd be able to recognise any of his work from the bass line alone. In the end that's what it's all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
