Best Bass Intro!

[i like tictacs]

Sugar Will - Dave Matthews Band

 

[bassta411]

"Mr. Moon" by Jamiroquai has a sweet intro as it moulds with the drum kit; just plain funky

 

[BlasphemyArise]

NIB - Black Sabbath
The Forest Whispers My Name - Cradle of Filth
Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith
Be My Druidess - Type O Negative

I'm sure there are many more but I can't think of them

 

[cowsgomoo]

'A Town Called Malice' - The Jam

'Lounge Act', 'Love Buzz', 'Sliver' - Nirvana

 

[Woodchuck]

Earth Wind & Fire: Brick House

LOL! You'd think someone named FunkMachine would know better!

 

[basstrader]

Abe plays a fantastic solo on "God is Able" from the Ron Kenoly album "Lift Him Up". Gospel funk at it's best.
Darrell Evans - "Tradin' My Sorrows". I don't know who the bassist is on that one.

[Joe R]

The God that Failed -Metallica

 

[mike sancho]

Basses Loaded - Brian Bromberg
The Real Me - The Who/Entwistle
Punk Jazz - Jaco

 

[Mike Flynn]

I second all of the ones I know in this thread - I just have a couple more to add:

Punk Jazz - Weather Report - still sounds awesome

Back In Black - as done by Living Colour - Doug Wimbish does the coolest delayed slap chord at the start that is just so different to anything ACDC would have done.

After painstakingly going thru this thread, here are two which were not mentioned & I feel need to be acknowledged:

Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Iron Maiden (only 1 of many great Steve Harris riffs)

Outbound - Stu Hamm (a tapping/hammering monster!)

Fish On & Defy the Laws of Tradition - I believe they were mentioned, but they are certainly worthy of repetition!

 

[Funkster]

100,000 years: KISS
Wrathchild: Maiden
Money: Floyed
Dragon Attack: Queen

 

[fr0me0]

Not the best but I like Peace sells my Megadeth.

 

[darkowl]

rush - cygnus X-1
primus - southbound pachyderm

 

[bryan bailey]

Nuclear Rabbit - Truth's Ugly Head

 

[Devin]

a night in the life of fly jimmy swift-The Jimmy Swift Band
awww yea-The Jimmy Swift Band
How many more times-Led Zeppelin
Peace Frog-The Doors
waiting for the sun-The doors

 

[stascc57]

"poison was the cure"- Megadeth

 

[Da_Niet]

I especially like the bass intro on two Jethro Tull songs:

"A Song For Jeffrey"
"Living in the Past"

Both are cool songs. I think the first three JT albums are very listenable today and should be checked out by younger, would-be rock bassists.

"Sgt. Baker" & "DMV" - Primus

 

[Nuk3m]

Advent - Opeth
