Cool Bass intros...

[Steve Harris Is]

It seems like every time I am in Guitar Center some yahoo is playing a nasty bass intro, usually something RHCP-ish in the slap/pop genre, and I was just wondering what ones you guys like?

As much as I know it's not important, it would be nice to learn a few of those to mess with from time to time. So, what are some real cool bass intros you guys enjoy noodling with?

Zepplins Dazed and Confused is a really smooth groovin bass intro/main riff

 

[Chunk-O-Funk]

I'm get'n old


it's still cooler than sh*t

 

[seansbrew]

Decendants= Myage
Millions of dead cops= Johm Wayne was a Nazi
Bela fleck= Sinister Minister
Primus= Jerry was a racecar driver

 

[Wrong Robot]

Jump into the fire

 

[Edwcdc]

Debaser.

 

[Scroller]

...and not a slapped note amongst them:

Yes---Does It Really Happen?
Megadeth---Dawn Patrol
Iron Maiden---Wrathchild and Innocent Exile (even better)
Black Sabbath---N.I.B....sorry, had ta include it.
Rush---Cygnus X-1...yeah, I know, not really an intro but you all know what I'm talking about...(BHANRRR-dharnn-ba-dhar-dharnt!!!)

For some reason I always liked the intro to Peace Sells by Megadeth.

 

[OrionManMatt]

Miles Davis -- "So What" (yeah yeah, so what, shoot me)

...does the Sanford & Son theme count?

I already know and can play some decent rock ones like "How Many More Times" by Zeppelin and "NIB" and various others.

What about ones that are a little funkier slap/pop varities?

I can't say I've ever tried to learn it, but I'd like to give a nod to the bass intro on Jeff Beck's "Head For Backstage Pass".

 

[BassGod]

Peace freakin' Sells.

 

[FaithNoMan]

Intro to the song "The Wall" by Pink Floyd...


..and of course, "Sober".. even if it is a little overplayed, I still love that sound

 

[MD]

Miles Davis -- "So What"

Yeah... "So What". I've been messin' around with an intro to that tune lately as well.
Also, Brian Bromberg's solo/intro on "Saga of Harrison Crabfeathers" off his "Wood" CD.

 

[Kink Rimson]

Manic St Preachers 'Archives of Pain'.
Truly sinister, gut-churning horror movie of a bass intro.
Suits the subject perfectly. One of my favourites.

Evil just don't do it justice.

Here's a couple good ones, rock and metal:

Alice in Chains - Would?
Anthrax - Caught in a Mosh
Jane's Addiction - Up the Beach
Live - TBD
Muse - Hysteria
NIN - The Hand That Feeds
Rage Against the Machine - take your pick, maybe Bombtrack or Freedom
Tool - Forty Six & Two

Oh, and if I want to impress some snot nose kid staring at me with that "hey mister, can you really play?" look, yeah I break out the RHCP's cover of Higher Groud or Primus' My Name is Mudd or Tommy the Cat, or bass-god forgive me, Van Halen's Eruption. And as soon as they go away I stop immediately.

 

[Dave]

Crush by Dave Matthews Band has a cool diddly.

 

[adept_inept]

Rage Against the Machine - take your pick, maybe Bombtrack or

calm like a bomb, perhaps?

and guns n roses, sweet child o mine. is decent.

 

[adept_inept]

Debaser.

NO

 

[Jazzin']

Sweet Child O' Mine. It's always a good way to start off a "jam song", even though the guitar starts it off in the real song.
