The bridge/jam on Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz has a nice walking bass line

 

[obimark]

Lady Madonna---whole line is walking. Birthday- walking in the one part.

In a way The Lemon Song is a walking bass line as well, just not in the traditional sense.

While we're talking about David Lee Roth, then how about Van Halen's Ice Cream Man? Nice little tune with Michael Anthony doing more than just eighth notes on the root.

Maybe it is because it is a Jazz tune? (The version by Diamond Dave is a cover of Louis Prima's version, where 2 standards were melded together: 'Just a Gigolo' & 'I Ain't Got Anybody')



Jesus Lizard: Slave Ship (has a walking line in the middle section of the song).
