I know this is an old thread but I'll just post this here. Old song I had forgotten about but still one of my favorites:

Heavy bass intros

We could post Justin/Tool songs all day here, probably. But here's another TB favorite and I've always thought this intro is just bonkers.
Can’t forget this chestnut. We used to play this one in my old classic rock band. Timing that upward slide was crucial! Loved playing it.
Enoch "Skeeter" Thompson. One of the greatest punk/hardcore bass players ever. His work from jump street is just outfrickingstanding. Dude was a monster. I just wish everyone would dig into Scream's catalog to give this guy the credit he deserves. This is the only intro that came immediately to mind.
Glad to see someone already mentioned Ozzy's "No More Tears"
Here's a couple tunes from a (probably) unexpected source: Yes' 1980 album Drama

This is from a kind of one-hit-wonder that became prominent through TV, used as the intro for Damages. The band is VLA, the song is "When I am through with you". I love this song, not just for the bass. And I love the asthetics of the opening of this TV series. It is really worth to listen to the entire song, but the intro of Damages is just so great. With the bloody hands, the architecture and the black star.

Sav is a great pocket player. Nothing fussy but solid as a rock.
