Best Bass Intro!

[EString]

Flea's intro to "Around the World" is just BADASS.

 

[arther daily]

Voodoo Chilie by Hendrix... wow! - How does he make that bass sound so much like a guitar, dude!!

 

[D.J]

I like very much "The Night Comes Down" and "The Millionaire Waltz" by John Deacon.

I have to add Les Claypoo's intro on "To Defy the Laws of Tradition." I've had the Frizzle Fry album for a long time, but it's taken a while for me to really get into it (I always preferred the raw sound of their first album to Frizzle Fry).

i would have to say the intro to "amazing grace" by Victor Wooten....peace.

How about the intro to "Bad Love"? Very short, but still...

 

[Dave Siff]

A couple more I just remembered:
"J.A.R." by Green Day (thanks nickisthebest for jogging my memory on that one)
"The Glory of Man" by the Minutemen.. my favorite Mike Watt bass line of them all.

 

[Sedge]

I think i have to mention "Lounge Act" by Nirvana. Krist Novoselic rules!!!!!

 

[fat jonny]

NIB- both the Sabbath and Primus version
My friend of misery- Metallica
For whom the bell tolls- Metallica (simple but still cool)
zombie stomp- ozzy
Those damn blue collared tweekers- primus (only 2 notes but you cant sit still when you listen to it)

 

[Bassline1414]

Can't believe no one mentioned Miles Davis' "So What" which features the awesome Paul Chambers, that's my favorite part of the song!

 

[gruffpuppy]

not to bring up the alice cooper band again but dead babies also has a pretty cool bass intro.

 

[Andrew Jones]

theres drums groovin with him but how bout leroy vinnegar's walkin bass intro on "doxy" on shelly manns swingin sounds

 

[aluminumcatfish]

One of These Nights--The Eagles

 

[Stingisanoldman]

Can't argue with "To Defy the Laws of Tradition" or "Jerry was a Race Car Driver". There's this band which I've never really heard of called Frenzal Rhomb and they have a kickin' into on "Punch me in the face". At least I think that's what its called...
Anyway, I usually listen to the bass intro and shut the song off, so take that for what you will.

Longview by Mike Dirnt of Greenday

 

[Spearhead]

Mountain Song-Janes Addiction
Three days-Janes Addiction
Tahitian Moon- Porno for Pyros
Aeroplane-RHCP
National Anthem-Radiohead
DMV-Primus

All real simple stuff, but every time I hear these intros it makes me glad to be a bass player.
