I'm looking for challenging basslines in (rock) music to play with my coverband.
You guys know any?  |

Are there any infamous Peppers songs with a nice bassline? I only know their greatest hits. |

Freaky Styley is a bit of to much rap. The album Californication suits better to our vocalist. |

Black Sabbath's N.I.B. has a nice little entrance solo.
Iron Maiden's Can I play with Madness(Solo part near the end)
I know almost all of the Rush songs are complicated in all three instruments, ones that are most easy to play on drums for me(I'm a drum player also, I was before I started playing bass) are Anthem, Tom Sawyer, and Bastille Day, no real complicated drumming so its something your drum player should be able to play, but in Tom Sawyer there's a 7/8 where Geddy starts his solo on the synth, and then the bass where it might throw the drummer off.
Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer and Keep the Faith
Thats all I got...
