Best guitar and bass unison riffs

Sign in to disble this ad
I was just looking thru songs on YouTube, and was listening to various bands versions of the old "Batman" theme.

Here's one of my favorites:
The Jam - Batman Theme - YouTube

It got me thinking, I love the guitar and bass in unison thing - anyone got any others they dig?

I can play that on both guitar and bass, and only for a couple seconds are they in unison. You have the guitar blues riff with harmonica, then it shifts to a heavy rock riff with a bluesy bass solo in the background.

I guess that one could count...

Most of the stuff off the Black Sabbath album Paranoid. The bass really plays a big role in that album.

It's the heavy rock riff I'm talking about.
