I've never expected such a huge number 😍🤘
Thanks to each one of you! ❤
No dejo de escuchar la de simphony x 🔥🔥👏🏼🤘🏼
That bass looks like a multipurpose, omnidirectional weapon.
Correct
Omnidirectional? But point only in one direction...
@@ktulu2178 that's why you spin it, man. Shut up.
Please tell me what bass this is so I can find it and buy it.
I can't unsee it now
There is something so soothing about melodic highs on a bass with a warm tone. Really enjoyed this video and the variety you selected
I enjoy a warmer tone
Two bass intros that marked the history of music forever
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Dig
Several are wrong. Especially the tool songs.

while not disagreeing I do challenge you to a dual (not duel < dual - trying to be punny) Wrathchild and Peace Sells. The first bass line that went through my head was peace sells when reading the name of the video - when watching and it played my brain was satisfied but was wondering where Maiden was. Didn't like the first Maiden choice and wrathchild stared playing in my head and then not much later on my screen. Two of my all time faves - but with Mudvayne being my favorite band of all time hard to go against Dig.
You forgot disgore deranged epidemic

Dark Tranquillity is such an underappreciated band. Nice to see Lethe made the list!
Not listened to them for a while actually but definitely one of my favourite bands, along with Arch Enemy and Opeth they got me into melodic death metal. The Gallery was a fantastic album and Lethe one of my favourite songs from it. Theres an old live video of them (can watch on RUclips) where they play it with so much emotion.
A lot of Opeth songs have some awesome basslines too - it may not be a metal album but Damnation sounds great and the bass tone is lovely. Just feels so good when it kicks in on Hope Leaves.
I'm a long-time drummer and been trying to learn guitar for the last year or so but I have absolutely no experience with bass. But watching guys like Dann, Davie504 and Charles Berthoud does inspire me to give it a go sometime. Slap bass looks really hard though!
@@dreammachine86 Opeth aren't, and never have been, a melodic death metal band. I hate this revisionist history that modern fans keep on applying to Opeth's older music, and it needs to stop.
Having melody in your death metal doesn't automatically make you a melodeath band. They were a progressive death metal band, even on the fringes of prog black metal on their first 2 albums, before just becoming a prog rock band.
The melody in melodic death metal strictly comes from NWOBHM, whereas Opeth's melody came from a whole host of different genres and influences, but largely from prog rock. There's a significant difference between Opeth's music and that of Dark Tranquility, At the Gates, Carcass, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, or The Black Dahlia Murder, who all have fairly distinct sounds, but their melody all comes from one place.
@@metalswifty23 Yes looking back at my comment I would agree, Opeth are a prog metal or a prog rock band. Not intentionally trying to be 'revisionist' though, maybe some people are, but it was just easier to say melodeath to group them in with other bands that got me into heavier forms of metal but still had an 'accessible' melody to their music.
I'm guessing the melody you refer to from the NWOBHM is the Aeolian mode/natural minor. Although some bands take it darker with the harmonic minor - Punish my Heaven by Dark Tranquility is one of my favourites.
Opeth have so many different inspirations for melodies and rhythms, many that I would have no reference for. Especially their latest prog rock stuff as I haven't listened to much of the classic prog rock that seems to be one of Mikael's current inspirations. The lead melody at the start of Serenity Painted Death always sounded very exotic and unusual - in a nice way - to me, like it had the uplifting sound of a major scale but the mysteriousness of a minor scale. When I started getting into guitar I looked up the tab and realised its actually a major lick played into a minor lick in the same position - making an interesting group of 3 chromatic notes in the overall lead line. And that's just one little melody in one of their many songs, some of which are very long!
though it‘s not metal, but hysteria from muse has one of the best intros ever i guess...
One of the funnest riffs to play imo
It isn't that wonderful at all. Muse is annoying.
@@josephwalton487 you're mum is
Totally agree!
Muse sucks
Ok, I got it, TOOL makes best bass intros
It’s true ..
Too bad everything else they do is shit.
@@therusstren ur opinion
Tool isn't metal.
@@therusstren imagine saying a band that has millions of followers is rubbish
Death Lack of Comprehension is one song that definitely could be on this list.
I was looking for that too.
I second that!
Being an old 80’s metal head I would have been sorely disappointed if Pease Sells wasn’t in there. Well done. I never realized how many songs had bass intros. I bet you would slay Metallica’s Anesthesia Pulling Teeth
Yep Peace Sells was the one I was waiting for.
First bassline I learned was the peace Sells intro
It's not easy but I had been a rythm guitarist for a few years before then(its still my primary instrument)
This needs a part 2.
Anthrax - Got The Time
Black Sabbath - NIB
Infectious Grooves - Punk it Up
Iron Maiden - The Trooper
Iron Maiden - Stranger in a Strange Land
Ozzy - No More Tears
Ozzy & Primus - NIB
Pantera - The Art of Shredding
Primus - My Name is Mud
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Around the World
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground
Ronnie James Dio - Welcome to My Nightmare
Ted Nugent - Little Miss Dangerous
Wow thanks for suggesting man 🤘
Yeah NIB, specifically the Les Claypool version (Track 7 from the Nativity In Black 2 tribute album) which has been apparently scrubbed from RUclips so hard I feel gaslighted.
Dragonfly - Angeles con una sola ala
Both the Intro and the pre-chorus bridge are bass masterpieces.
I love the Primus version of NIB so much. Any time i play that song, i always end up going in that direction with it. I can't help it.
Dio welcome to my nightmare????
Tool have so many great bass lines. JC is genius
Well Paul wrote Sober.
he uses a pick.
@@sabin97and what?
@@MrJetDevil
if you need to have that explained, you probably wont understand anyway.
@@sabin97pick on bass is valid
That is the bass tone I've been searching for.
Damn! I was so stoked to see Tool made the list five times! My three favorite songs...Forty Six & 2, Schism and Sober were all there. I will say Judith by Perfect Circle deserves to be on the list too. Thank you for sharing. Awesome skills!🌹
What a beautiful bass 💜
Thanks! Credit for Overload Guitars guys!
@@DannArisi are you using a preset sound on parallax or a custom?
Nice! Lots of Tool love, Justin's riffs are some of my faves of all time to play. Great playing as always man, beautiful bass and nice Darkglass shirt!
Absolomb hits like a truck. Great playing, cool tone and a hell of a guitar you got there.
bass*
@@yagoovirus2751 bass is a guitar lol. Also hey! Fellow Hololive watcher!
How has Souls of Black been missed on this? That's iconic as heck. Also, No More Tears by Ozzy is another great one
And don't forget about Mr. Jack by SOAD
I came here to say that.. Souls of Black is top 5
Thank you! That was the first song that came to my mind when I saw the title and was disappointed to see it wasn't included.
let's hear it for Greg Christian, THE Soul of Black!
Not just that, but also Trial By Fire!
I know it's a simpler one to play but I was stoked to see you include My Friend of Misery. Love that one deep down.
There is also the live solo
While it isn’t metal or an opening You gotta admit Roundabout has one of the best baselines
I admit nothing
That's great fun to play, I sometimes use it as an exercise when I haven't played for a while
I can't fking play it with a pick, I'm left handed but play right, so my arm is weak af
@@nanomachines9872 I hope that my following comment comes across in the helpful and supportive way I'm intending it to. All too often, the written word lacks vocal inflections and so on and sometimes the best will in the world can be misread especially if two people aren't speaking their first languages. Please, I mean to be only supportive as a fellow player here.
I suffered pretty severe spinal cord injuries in my upper and lower back, the upper being more of a problem to my playing than the lower. I used to play mainly fingerstyle but when I was injured I wasn't able to use my ring and little fingers in my right hand, my little finger was severely weakened/nearly unusable in the left and I was getting severe neuro pain in both hands.
Once I had corrective surgery I started to slowly practice with a pick on a guitar first. Just alternate picking exercises building up strength and agility again and then I started back on bass.
Fingerstyle with all 4 fingers was unfortunately a bit too far due to the nerve damage but my first 2 fingers work and my ring finger is mostly there after months of practice. Same with the left hand. I still get pain and I set up my basses very low but I can play again. My friend, I'm telling you that if you want something really so much, I mean that burning obsession sort of want where whenever you have a moment free, you grab an instrument and practice, the ability will come and if you have a problem that stops you, you (we) have the mind to develop a way to overcome this hurdle. Music needs us. We all have a part to play in this story my friend and one thing that has always been my drive as a musician and has been my guide is "inspiration".
We all look for inspiration. It's in our blood, our DNA, our souls as musicians as artists. Equally, when we see another musician that we can help, we must inspire them and I hope that by me telling you about what I've done it inspires you.
As I said initially, my intention is to help and what I aim to avoid is what too often happens that these things end up as a pissing contest as to who had the worst/best story. I mean nothing of the sort. I only want good to come of what happened to me, please, go get your bass or guitar right now and just start practicing. Listen closely, break it down and improve. Be inspired, my friend and take care.
@@restojon1 this has got to be the longest reply I have ever had(not that I'm complaining) but still, thank you for the inspiration, although I can't reply to something as long as that
It may be super underrated as a deep track but the bass intro riff to "I can't hide" by pantera is awesome!
Love that Lethe was immediately followed by My Friend of Misery, simply because DT covered that song on the deluxe edition of The Gallery.
I loved that cover.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 It's a brilliant cover
I thought it was "God that Failed". Definitely knew it was a song from Black Album.
Ok I'll say it
Wrathchild is THE BEST bass intro EVER!!
I kept waiting and waiting...
Nice job
Of course. By the best line up in the universe
@@albertoboccali74371982 lineup is the best.
I was waiting as well. I was sitting here, "c'mon man, you have to...". Almost gave up. 😅
holy shit peace sells fingerstyle? damn, dave plays it with a pick
I’ve been listening to dark tranquility for over a decade and never realized the intro for Lethe was played on a bass
I'm a guitarist but I absolutely love how heavy the bass sounds.
3:21 this actually made me want to get a 6 string. It sounds so fucking nice and has a melody I absolutely adore and love.
Yeah I hear it I see it
U can do it on a 4 string without any problem...
@@pabloo2018 yep i don’t know why he play it with a 6string
@@feloxxolef9891 probably because it has both a higher and a lower string added, not just 2 lower.
@@pabloo2018 how? You'd have to tune up 5 whole steps
SPIRIT CHRUSSSSHHHEEERRRR! I'm glad that one made your list! It's one of my favorite songs
Never seen peace sells being played without a pick, awesome!!!!
Did you mean “without a pick”? He wasn’t using a pick on peace sells.
@@tjc6901 yeah I meant to write without not with
Thanks for including Pneuma. It’s one of my favorites from Fear Inoculum
DT is my favorite band of all time, glad to see that masterpiece make the cut :)
Nailed it. Surprised you didn't use pick on Peace Sells. Still sounded awesome. Love the Symphony X stuff. I do love Running With The Devil by VH - I know it's beyond simple, but so iconic. 🤘🏽
Thanks a lot! Yes I tried also with pick, but I'm more familiar with finger picking 🤘😁
almost. The second last hit of the Schism intro is a perfect fourth, not a fifth.
I was surprised to see Soen here. Underrated band!
Savia is a marvelous song! ❤️
overload guitars' basses are something else
Great selections. But no Testament “Souls of Black”?
That was my first thought too.
Better choice than some in the video, IMHO.
Also Soulitude from Overkill, if I'm not mistaken
@@oliviermtd old school boi here huh? like it!
@@hazardeur lol. I'm turning 49 in a couple of months. Not that old...
But not too fresh anymore either :-)
More importantly: not a single Motörhead song. That’s blasphemy.
@@oliviermtd Overkill has a number of tracks with excellent bass intros/solos
Love that you put some Symphony X on your list... They seem to usually go unnoticed.
After this video my respect for bassist increased. I didn't even knew that basses had chords! Amazing.
Earthborn Evolution by Beyond Creation and Relentless Mutation by Archspire have nice bass intros as well. I'm a big Death fan so it was nice to see Spirit Crusher included.
Клево! Мне не хватило Testament "Souls of black"!
I was expecting it too
I wish Testament could get some love, too. I love the bass intro to "Urotsukidoji".
Primus?? Have you listened to them?? Otherwise I understand why you didn't include any of their songs
Cause this is a METAL bass compilation! Not funk!
Primus isn't metal
Great Video, beautiful Bass Guitars and awesome Tuning.
I would love to See :
As blood runs black - Pouring reign
Honerable Mention:
Gently - Slipknot.
You NAILED Justin Chancellor’s tone!
Damn I'm surprised to see Symphony X in there! Great choices!
I'm not a fan of headless bass, but this bass is wonderful. Respect from Brazil bro.
gremio 2 a 1 corinthians campaz vai fazer um de fora da area
@@nnayr5993 KKKKKKK duvido irmão, acho que o Grêmio já tá na B
Symphony X absolutely deserves to be up there. Some of the other choices are questionable but mad respect for highlighting one of the most under-rated bands
And there were TWO well-deserved SyX tracks. First band I ever saw live.
That is the most beautiful bass guitar I have ever seen.
Good stuff! Wasn't aware of the Dark Tranquility tune so thank you for that.
Early Dark Tranquillity has some of the best bass work in metal! They treat it more like a melodic instrument along with the guitars than just a rhythm instrument to add low end. A great example would be Alone, which essentially has 3 lead guitars, but one of them is the bass.
Thank you for including Wrathchild here!! I've always loved that bass intro ever since I got the album back in the day...
And of course there's always the legendary intro to Ace Of Spades 🤘♠️
A lot of great intros! Nice 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks a lot brother 🖤
Oh my God, as soon as I heard Tool I had bassgasm.
Hey, some bands got into your Tool bass intros top. Haha.
Anyway, that Lethe is amazing, I wasn't expecting it, it's good to see people still remember DT.
With their new work, At The Gates with Cosmic Pessimism would enter easily into any best bass intros top.
This guy: Here are the best metal bass intros of all time.
Tool: Hi, uhm, we got some of those. You're welcome.
What about Orion
It's not an intro
As I was watching I was wondering if Steve Harris was every going to show up You clutched it at the end with a couple of classics.
Brutal!
Such a great bass, killer
What about Necrophagist - Only ash remains?
Awseome job man, love how Symphony X riffs were like "I'm not repeating that riff" 😅 Also dig the tone, right up my alley
Atheist - I Deny (bassist Roger Patterson RIP) should definitely be on that list. Great job!
A song I feel like is missing is Souls of Black by Testament. Great ambiance with the thunder before the song starts and then followed by a bass-tapping solo that shakes you. But still a great list !
That tone is nuts
There's so many good bass intros in metal, it's hard to narrow it down to an 8 minute selection. I would like to add to the list: S.O.D. - "Milk" Overkill - "Left Hand Man", "Blown Away", "Solitude" Black Sabbath - "N.I.B" Iron Maiden - "Running Free" Anthrax - "Got The Time" Motorhead - "Overkill", "Ace Of Spades" Ozzy - "No More Tears" ManOwaR - "Mountains"
Helloween - i live for your pain or Born on judgement day
Evergrey - Departure
Diablo Swing Orchestra - Balroog boogie
Breaking benjamin - You fight me or No games
Sonata Arctica - The vice
Gamma Ray - Condemned to Hell
Dream theater - SN2 or Panic attack
Labyrinth - Still Alive
Above the sky - Majestica
Heavenly - Illusion Part l
Overkill - “playing with Spiders/skullcrusher
Animals as Leaders - Physical Education. Absolutely the funkiest bass line in a metal song I've heard.
@@MaddDogg316 except thats a guitar not a bass
Souls of Black?
Never heard of Dark Tranquility- Lethe but I enjoyed it. I absolutely love Newsted's My friend of misery and anything by Steve Harris
dark tranquillity even covered my friend of misery.
Loads of great stuff. Just wondering why "Relentless mutation" by Archspire is not in this video. One of the most compelling bass into to a tech death song.
I am Immortal by Mortal Sin also is one of Metal’s best bass intros.
Dude what kind of bass is that? It's gorgeous tonally and aesthetically
That's an Achilles by Overload Guitars 🔥
Testament - Souls of Black
pickups and the bass. wow. stunning!
Panic Attack is easily my favourite bass song. Great list, sir!
Man, Megadeth needs you! Please try to make the audition! I am your fan in Brazil!!!!!!
Thanks man, I'd love to! 🙏
Mustaine when he sees you playing Metallica: 😡
When he sees you playing "Peace Sells" 😆👍
Wrathchild give me goosebumps everytime.
Seriously great playing! I would have also put in Voices and The Glass Prison by Dream Theater. They're not as fast or challenging as Panic Attack, but they do a great job showcasing a more melodic side to John Myung's playing, and they just sound cool.
jow for a cowboy - sun of nihility also has such a badass bass intro if not the whole song, its pure bass porn.
Hell yes! , so groovy, a lot of influence of ryan martinie in my opinion!
yes
Some bands are lucky to have one song on this list. Tool has a song from every LP to date on this list.
Hell ya wrath child!!! Under rated for how great of a bass intro 🤘🏾
Anything Steve Harris does really, and They just released new CD hehe "UP The IRONS"
THAT BASS IS SICK!!!! you sound awesome
Mr. Jack and Spiders too are great
Nice list! I would only add Souls of Black (the re-recording version) to it. But it is great nevertheless!!
YES! SPIRIT CRUSHER!
And I also love The Clairvoyant!
But no Panic Attack by DT
I was always a huge fan of the Mudvayne bass parts. The bass in the song Happy? impresses the shit out of me especially in the chorus.
I mean, there is a reason there are so many "Bass and vocals only" clips of Mudvayne.
@@CrackBabyZachesRyan is a beast
the intro to Dig feels like that part when Russell Brand stuck Jonah Hill with that epi-pen in Get Him to The Greek🤘🏻
Hysteria by Muse is another cool one. Really any Muse song has cool bass intros
So much badassness here.
Hello, great video and great sounds! how did you get this killer metal bass sound, especially when you do parts like Spirit Crusher or Peace Sells using fingers?
Thanks a lot man!! The bass is the Achilles by Overload Guitars and the only plugin I use is the Parallax by Neural DSP 🤘🏻
The tone during Dig made me bite my lips unconsciously
Also, No More Tears and Would.
My humble suggestion would be Child's Play from Carcass. That bass intro is so good! 🤘🏻
BRR BRR DENG
First off I want to say that this player is awesome. Great selection of songs.
That being said, did anyone else notice that For Whom the Bell Tolls didn't sound quite correct? I've listened to that song a LOT of the years, and attempted to learn it on bass, and it sounds like they added a note that shouldn't be there.
Yeah, you have a few good ones there! My personal favorite is the intro to Archspire's Relentless Mutation. That is one killer bass solo!
Hell yeah brother
If there’s no primus in a bass “best (insert any genre here)” video, the video and channel are completely irrelevant
This must be a personal list
thanks for posting the tabs in there as well! the intro to phobophile by cryptopsy is also a great one
Muse - Hysteria
Children of Bodom - Warheart
Symphony X - Sea of Lies
Rammstein - Seemann
Nevermore - Dead Heart in a Dead World
Cryptopsy - Phobophile
Deftones - Dai the Flu
Limp Bizkit - Rearranged
I was hoping so much for Warheart to appear in the video
Not so well known, but i adore the bass in the intro to Break the Silence by Seventh Wonder.
I forgot how nice sounding that Dark Tranquility intro is
Dark Tranquillity Lethe 🥰🥰🥰🥰
brbr deng!
great video, anfd thanks for adding some dark tranquillity.
Brr brr deng
Bro you are dope asf every song kicked ass but hearing and watching u play mudvayne was ultra dope thanks for sharing
