J Geils Band "Musta Got Lost"

 

[RickBlair]

You guys are obviously way too young.

"Louie Louie" is probably the most basic bass line mankind has ever invented and required knowledge for any bass player in the 60's.

[neurotictim]

"Gotta Get Away" by The Offspring. Followed by most of Nirvana's discography.

 

[Aopie2509]

Soul to squeeze

 

[ghostdog93]

"Gigantic" by The Pixies.

 

[PseudoSpaceman]

Money by Pink Floyd

 

[NoiseNinja]

One of my own. I'd just picked up the bass to play in a three piece noise rock band, after playing guitar for a couple of years. Some of the first basslines I made I actually still consider quiet good. A song called "Devalue" and a song called "On Foil", which of cause means nothing to you. Never practiced other peoples basslines. All though I have been considering picking it up lately, properly would be some Tool stuff.

Comfortably numb

I'm not sure anymore, but it was one of these:

Boys Will Be Boys - Undertones
Homicide - 999
Teenage Lobotomy - Ramones
Dancing With Myself - Generation X

 

[Sound Chaser]

Dazed And Confused.

 

[Showdown]

Mine was Paranoid. The first song I learned, and the first song I played in a band. 35 years later I play it in a band again. I guess I've come full circle.

25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago

 

[Trabeen]

It was either Mutants of the Monster by Black Oak Arkansas or Not Fragile by BTO, definitely quite a few years back but I remember hacking those two out for endless hours at the start of the ride.

Paranoid was my second.

 

[BioDriver]

"Boris the Spider" by The Who. Incidentally, it's the first song I'm making my new student learn

 

[Nedmundo]

Possibly Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer," but I remember the first I played with a band was INXS's "The One Thing."

 

[chuck norriss]

smoke on the water

 

[LowNotes1]

A long time ago, but it was probably "My Generation". And I probably stopped playing it right before the solo.
