Big Yes to Radar Love, a staple in our set although the drummer hates it. ALWAYS gets the crowd up.

Just started doing Fool For Your Lovin' in the original G too, lovely chugging bass line to play.

Smoke on the water, Black Night or Hush all Deep Purple but always seem to go down really well at the end of the night. I know these have been played to death, but there is a very good reason for that................ great tunes, everybody knows them.

Ta very glad

Stuck in the middle with you? Strong bass line but not too tricky. Usually goes down pretty well although more singing / shouting from the crowd than dancing!

And I love playing Fool for your Loving but haven't played it out so not sure how much of a crowd pleaser it is. You'll enjoy playing it though!

I hate it, but it's a usually a huge crowd pleaser with an interesting bass line up the dusty end in the verses: I predict a riot by the Kaiser Chiefs.

Also, Cochise by Audioslave is alright if your singer can manage it.

Bassline in White Room by Cream is not challenging, but still fun to play.

Lay Down by Priestess is a good one. My guitarists suggestion to play.

No too hard to play, but definitely tricky in parts. Its a "Guitar hero"

classic apparently. Does seem to go down well to be fair!

'Stuck in the middle with you' is a guaranteed floor filler. Great bass line, but I keep thinking of ears being cut off when playing it! Used to play 'Breathe' by the Prodigy, a real finger killer that, got em bouncing tho'

One of my faves used to be The Stealer by Free. Not difficult but it's an awesome track and fun to play.

Black and Blue by Whitesnake!

Burn by Deep Purple! Aww yeaaahhh!

The Seeker - The Who
Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz
Both a bit more complex than root note plodders!

The bassline under the solo in Are You Gonna Go My Way is epic, took me ages to get that right when I used to play it in the old band.

ufo - rock bottom
its an easy part but theres loads of room to add flair and flourishes, you really can go a bit mad in the solo section and it still fits.
i loved playing that song, lots of fun and always went down very well too.

War Pigs - Black Sabbath. We have had a pub singing along to this. The intro and guitar solo sections will keep you busy for a while.

Crazy Train - Ozzy. Great fun to play.

Makes me feel lazy that comment, I just begin each line with the E-D-E-D motif and riff the rest! Closest I ever get to a bass solo!!

I could never improvise anything worthwhile, so I learnt it note for note from the record by ear.

I tried to learn it note by note, then looked at the Bass White Pages and then slowly forgot what I had originally done.
