Name A Song That Started Your Bass Interest.
- Thread starter Starburst
- Start date
For me it was the early 1990's (I Think I was 14), and I heard Black Sabbath "War Pigs" for the first time...... Geezer is the man, when it comes to "old school metal" bass playing as far as I am concerned.
I have three.
1. Black Sabbath - Hand of Doom
2. Metallica - Anesthesia
2. Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face
Three totally different playing styles from three different generations of metal. At this point in my life I was already pretty much a dyed in the wool metalhead and these three examples laid the primary foundation for the style I eventually developed for myself.

Close to the Edge by Yes. Thank's to Dad for setting be down deliberately and blowing my little mind.
Culture Club's "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" - the breakdown section with the reggae-ish bass line. I remember asking my mother what instrument played that part and she told me she thought it was the bass.
i remember wanting to learn to play crazy train by ozzy so i could play it with my friends. after that, i remember telling myself i would be a good bassist when i could play steal away (the night) also ozzy... i used to listen to a lot of that.
