Best bassline ever in the history of time

[minestrone]

Haven't read the thread fully (ie at all) cos I know the best bass line is Geddy Lee's riffing over middle eight sort of over the Lead Guitar, like a duel, as a guitarist myself, the bass work eats the guitar alive, HQ vid here, 11 min song, 8:30 is when Geddy rips the bass, slow bits, fast bits, time changes, no fuss at all....

Nice!


Neil Peart is some drummer, must be talking 50K for his kit, all tuned perfectly.

I wonder how gets out out of his kit after a gig, like 'help, I'm stuck...'

This guy would disagree with you

Agreed - I believe he was actually classically trained and his influence at the start made Metallica what it is today.

And to add my tuppence worth -

I like Kim Deal's work on Pixies - Gigantic (in fact, a great rhythm section all round) It's simple but very effective and I like the bassline on Stone Roses - She Bangs the Drums

Thank you forlettinmebemiceelfagain - Magazine - or the Sly and The Family stone original.

I do like a lot of the basslines in various Rush songs though, and that Chic/ Sis Sledge stuff takes some beating - it was a move on from some of the Motown ones which are surprisingly innovative - stuff like my girl.

Oh, and "oye Como Va" - the Santana version or versions by a million others
