Best Bass Intro!

[ytsebri]

"Open Secrets" Geddy Lee (Rush)
"Prime Mover" Geddy Lee (Rush)
"Lifting Shadows Off a Dream" John Myung (DT)
"Scarred" (DT)
And although it's not one of my fav songs, it is classic
"Jet City Woman" Eddie Jackson (Queensryche)

 

[kcm]

Ah yes "Della Brown" as well, simplicity and georgeous tone!!

 

[Bassin']

Wrathchild-Iron Maiden

 

[gweimer]

Absolutely LOVED "Jet City Woman"
I'll add to the mix:
"Spanish Moon" - Little Feat
"Vambo" - Sensational Alex Harvey Band (Chris Glen had the GREATEST tone on this, and he should be mentioned on those under-rated bassist threads)
"Parallels" - Yes

 

[rickbass]

Whoops, forgot Iron Butterfly's, "Soul Experience." Soooo frio!!!

 

[Joe R]

Steve Harris on Wrathchild, Jason Newsted on The God that Failed, Muzz Skillings(Living Colour) on Broken Hearts.

 

[Moonraker]

Mos Def- 'Umi says' has agreat introductive bassline , he's also a great bass player that knowone recognizes because he is a rapper.

Jamiroqui-'Manifest Destiny' amazing bassline by Stuart Zender.

 

[bloumy2]

Metallica : Orion (very cool to play, try it)
Black Sabbath : War pigs, Fairies wear boots
Led Zepplin : LIving loving maid, Heartbreaker, Moby dick

 

[killer B]

My favorites would have to be:

Jane's Addiction: 3 Days
Up The Beach
Alice In Chains: Would
Rotten Apple
TOOL: Sober
Opiate
46x2
Primus: Too many to mention
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Trancending

 

[5156246]

"rearranged" by Limp Bizkit
"come together" by the Beatles

both because they sound quite cool and you never forget them. They are not difficult to play but .. as I said .. cool!

 

[JWC]

NO NO NO FOOL!!!

Nice one, Moonraker! Mos Def has some tastey lines on his album. I heard he's coming out with a rock album- wonder if there's any truth to that...

How about Patrick Dahlheimer from Live? He puts a nice little fill in at the beginning of "Pain Lies on the Riverside" ... not a very difficult riff, but it sounds cool and helps build the song up perfectly!

I dig the intro to "Down With the Bass" by fIREHOSE.. Mike Watt, of course. It's pretty simple, but it's got a ton of attitude.
"Blood and Roses" by the Smithereens isn't bad, either.

 

[Niels Keijzer]

I used to love the intro to "Sail on", by Primus. (Sailing the Seas of Cheese) Haven't heard that one for a while, sold the cd.
(I like Primus, but it bores me rather quickly)

 

[steamboat]

I believe you mean "Fish on" by Primus.. very cool intro.. I also like Primus's "Over the Electric Grapevine."

I don't know if it counts (there's also some drums going on), but I love Tim Bogert's distorted bass intro on Vanilla Fudge's "The Break Song."

There's a great solo on that song too.

 

[cyklone777]

"Go Skate!" by Suicidal Tendencies. That's some kool slap.

 

[Mike N]

Innocent Exile-Iron Maiden

 

[john turner]

definitely on the maiden!

in my old cover band, we used to do genghis khan and then go right into innocent exile. that was a lot of fun.

I think the bass tones on that album (er, cd) are great. Definately one of the best recorded albums of the early 70s.

Finally! Someone mentioning Dahlheimer besides myself.

Definately agree with ya there on "Pain Lies On the Riverside". How 'bout their song "Iris" (from Throwing Copper). Beautiful. Ok...I can think of many more, but I'll be here forever.

Cheers,
