low b strings in songs

can you guys give me some songs that actually sue the low B on the b string? And can any1 give me some tips on how to use that note smoothly in music and not make it sound forced into a song?

I *think* there is 1 song off of blood sugar sex magik that has a low B in it, but I could be mistaken...

John Myung's use of the low B on the intro to Dream Theater's Change of Seasons is pretty cool

Check out some modern RnB/pop artists, Alicia Keys, Macy Gray, Lemar, that kind of stuff tends to use those really nice deep notes

mmm!

What I do usually is accent with a low octave of a note I'm ending on, or do a walk down to the lower note (not necessarily a B all the time). Pulling a low B out of the blue would sound odd as you indicated, but combining it with a run of some sort or walking down on the B from higher notes will help integrate it into what you are playing.

Does that help?
