What song to learn?

[Tait]

I've been listening to a bit of Rage Against the Machine, and I fancy learning some of their basslines.

But I don't know their stuff well so I don't really know which are their best songs to play on bass. So, what are your favourite songs to play by Rage Against the Machine?

By the way I already know bombtrack.

[john_the_bass]

most satisfying for me is bullet in the head. but only because i like it.

[odub]

Killing int he name of is pretty easy

I'm working my way through RATM tab book now

Take the Power Back? Good slap line. Come like a Bomb has a great melodic intro. Know your Enemy is a great rock line. There are loads of funky lines on the Battle For Los Angeles album.

[3V17C]

Bullet in the head defo!

all rage songs have great basslines! when i started playing i learnt every song they did, and loved them all. can't go wrong really

[Stag]

+1 for Know Your Enemy

Anything off the first album... really...

WAKE UP!!!

[RussFM]

Take The Power Back. Best bass line on RATM.

[CPBass]

Why be so narrow? Learn em all, shouldnt take too long, commerford is a groover he aint technically taxing.

[Tait]

looks like I'll learn take the power back for now, and maybe some more later

[Tait]

I've learnt take the power back, im going for killing in the name

[richy316]

+1 For any of them!

Learn Kick out the jams (mc5) from the renegades covers album, love that song

[Tait]

I've only got the album with the monk on fire on the front, btw, and as I said, I'm not really into them much, just quite liked a couple of basslines.

[TimmyC]

Bombtrack!

[DaveDDF]

Freedom is nice too, simple to play but it sounds great. All the others named are ace though.

[Ou7shined]

We have to tune to drop D a couple of times in our set so I usually thump out 2-3 of bars of Killing In The Name before we get going which usually gets a few nods from the crowd. Township Rebellion is a classic riff too but yeah +1 to learn 'em all.

Bullet in the head is [i]great[/i] for building up finger strength and is good fun. My hand still aches now if I play that build up all the way through!

[metalmaniac]

Just learn the first album.. I did, and it was a great learning curve.. especially as I hate tabs and what-not so worked it out by ear.
