"Just because there is a bass line in a great song doesn’t mean that the bass line is a great bass line"
- Davie 504 -
q. e. d.
Wise words...
The bassline of How Many More Times is better
Watchmojo putting "Dazed and Confused" on their top 10 basslines list made Led Zeppelin (especially John Paul Jones) look a bit like stupid musicians but they actually weren't. There are so many better basslines John Paul Jones had written such as "Ramble On" and "How Many More Times"...
@@wakemeupbeforeyoupogo Exactly, the bassline from Ramble On is one of the best basslines
For me, one of the best bass lines is from Stevie Wonder's 'Sir Duke' It's epic as it just carries the whole song from start to finish. Not many out there that sound quite like this one.
Gotta add I Wish to the list.
Oh man... so many basslines *make* the song, and you pointed out one that a lot of folks just miss. Excellent selection. Now I have to go on a Stevie Wonder kick. Thanks. I thought I was gonna sleep tonight, but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... gonna stay up all night spinning my vinyl.
Might as well add Verdeen White if you're going to get into that realm.
For me, "I wish" is a tad better. I doesn´t matter much, that everyone forgot Stevie Wonder is a shame anyways! Great base lines aaaalllloooooover!
@@jokervienna6433 I really like that one too...... You nasty boy!!! 😄
Number 4 Bass Line: Beat It
**Starts playing Billie Jean**
😂😂 ikr I thought I was losing it for a second
@@colinstevens2462 me too🤣🤣
Thank gosh I wasn't the only one who noticed it
Билли джин насрал в кувшин
He played it wrong too - missed the octaves.
I'm pretty sure Davie didn't get a single copyright claim because Davie owns all the basslines of all times.
So cool
Correct.
Checkmate!
Damn right he does
It could also be because he only played the bass line for a short time
I know it's a simple line, but ... Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" always comes to mind for a solid bass line, and solo.
Because of that line I decided to buy a bass and now I'm learned to play.
The chain is simple and iconic, the end gets slightly harder but is petty basic and repetitive yeah
Love that bass line so underrated
Agree. Even though there's barely any bass in it and it mostly just follows the progression, but it's on more than on point. Every single track on "The Chain" could top the top 10 lists in their respective categories. Simply amazing
Oh yeah!!
- Owner of a Lonely Heart (Yes)
- Work Sht! Out (Henrik Linder, Dirty Loops)
- Rock You (Henrik Linder, Dirty Loops)
- Lingus (Michael League, Snarky Puppy)

Davie just checks how many people cannot distinguish "Master of Puppets" from "Enter Sandman" :)
Lol I was confused until I saw this comment lol
He does the same thing with Beat It, plays Billie Jean, and other videos he's done the same lol.
Thought the same thing
Also RCHP instead of RHCP lol
I’m starting to believe he’s got dyslexia or something.
R.I.P cliff Burton. He was a really good bass player
I rlly don't know how orion could be a bad pick?!?? Like... how...? Fwtbt and Orion are some of Metallica's best bass masterpieces and he...
Everyone has a different taste , don't hate him
Maby even the best
@@fedor5664 The bass solo in Orion is a masterpiece. Thats why the song is so famous.
Yes he is

@@knighthavok4161 wait. That's illegal
Let's face it, there are hundreds of excellent bass lines out there, from "I'm a Man" by The Spencer Davis Group to James Jamerson "Ain't no Mountain High Enough" through Yes, Primus, Metallica, and Rush to name a few. What lifts any one of these excellent bass riffs is its context and ability to set the mood or drive the emotion in the song it's being played.
Blood and Roses is a good one
Davie: “Number 4: Beat It.”
Also Davie: *plays Billie Jean*
I'm glad that I found this comment so quickly. I honestly can't tell if Davie is trolling or not.
Or when he played Master of Puppets and called it "Enter Sandman"
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSLAP!!!!!
Yes, Billie Jean 👍
and played master of puppets insted of enter sandman
What’s written: Enter sandman
What David plays: master of puppets At 2:35

Time?
@@CYCOxFOX13 Yes
@@CYCOxFOX13 2:34
@@CYCOxFOX13 The first is at 2:35
Sarcasm i guess.
Don't forget, Geddy didn't only play the bassline for YYZ, but also the synth.
I mean that’s true for basically all of Rush’s stuff. They’re a 3 piece band that sounds like a 5
At the same time...
@@calebnation7797 At *least* five sometimes. I'm still not sure there aren't Two Neils.
Mark king & geddy lee is the best ever
@@calebnation7797 not to mention he is the singer as well for Rush
I'm not a bassist myself and I have no idea how I came across this channel. But I am loving you Dave, whatever the f.... is going on in your head makes me laugh to tears. These vids are super cool. Slap the sh...:) Bless you man!
Davie: playing master of puppets
Text: *Enter Sandman*
oH NOOOUUU Oh NOUUUUU!
Davie: playing Billy Jean
Text: Beat it
I saw that too!
I think he was playing Billy Jean when it said Beat It too.
Of course I had to go back and check these, and so it gives the video more views. Ingenius!
Davide Biale is so talented. You should challenge him to a bass battle
Well duh he’s talented 😒😒😒
Sì
He already did. Davide Viale is now a girl called Animebassme.
It's same person dude
*Whooshed incoming
Tell me something ...is that the real name of Davie ?
I liked the guest bassist. He seemed very skilled.
bad haircut, though.....................
He is. Very fluent finger setting.
I feel like he still muffed YYZ though
He was average.
Geddy Lee is one of those bassists that can't be replicated even by the best bass players. The same when the best singers try to replicate Layne Staley from Alice In Chains. Just can't do it.
Ian Dury and the Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick is the sickest bass line I can think of at the moment. Stranglers - Peaches is also tasty. But number 1 should be Lou Reed - Walk On the Wild Side.
Why do I always feel like I'm in trouble when I watch Davie?
You must not be slapping enough in your spare time and feel subconscious guilt
He’s lecturing us lmao
Did you like and subscribe? Otherwise not a clue.
Cuz u are
@@MrRahulparasar That's what I was afraid of
Him trying not to break character while seeing all the “honorable mentions” killed me because I knew exactly what he was thinking lol
A lot of Flea's basslines aren't necessarily hard to play, but they're fun and catchy as hell. "Give It Away" is a great way to lift your spirits because of the constant sliding back and forth between the low and high notes.
Davie just knows how to annoy us: enter sandman but playing master of puppets, writing red chilli hot peppers, counting seven nation army as a baseline and writing beat it but playing Billie jean
I muted when I read Seven Nation Army. Didn't want that ear parasite with me all day.
There’s also “Another one Bitest the Dust”
FROM whom the Bell TOOLS
Billie beat it!
xD xD xD xD
Davie: plays Master of Puppets
Editing davie: Enter sandman
Not épico.
EPIC... fail...
He did that on purpose. He does that often and it's too obvious he's joking.
@@paulanthonymorrisjr not that obvious to people who don't watch his content everyday
@@shawne5014 and it's obvious they don't watch Davie504 that much
“Beat It” bass line is ÉPICO, too!
“Enter sandman”
*plays master of puppets*
Thats really sad actually that davie doesnt like metallica
Plays Billie Jean and calls it Beat It
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
They should've put My Friend Of Misery in for Metallica
@@tuckoma_xl you can't include Metallica and put a track without a Cliff Burton bass line. Anasthesia was a better choice though
"Dazed and confused" is a stripped down, electrified, down-tempo, blues-rock classic. It's dark, gritty, soulfull and the bassline drives the whole song like a lurking disaster. It's Iconic because of how much it does with so little.
Compare what was played here to what John Paul Jones played. Were they really the same?
Me: sees Davie reject YYZ in his top 10 list
Also me: *a tear falls off my eye*
RIP Neil Peart
He was too weak to play geddy lee's bassline! He could only dream to reach the mastery lever of Neil peart! RIP
That's because he can't play it. Only David Biale can play it.
His finger isn't strong enough 😉
As a diehard Rush fan, I don't feel YYZ is their strongest bassline. There are TONS of underrated songs/basslines, like Marathon man, Vital Signs, The Big Money that have catchy and complex basslines.
@@wyvern4588 I not-jokingly want Marathon played at my funeral. Bassline and all.
Davie: Beat it
Also Davie: **proceeds to play Billie Jean**
Classic Davie XD
The same with Enter Sandman while playing Master of Puppets
@@thundermike900 this was the one i noticed. not familiar enough with michael jacksons instrumental.
He also played master of puppets while it said he was playing enter sandman.
@@panuncdfable right... that's what I was replying to...
I thought I was crazy and searched for this comment ^^
I can't believe Schism, Hysteria, and Feel Good Inc were honorable mentions. What an absolute slap in the face of the real badass bass lines.
You said it
AND ROUNDABOUT FOOL
haha "slap"
@@SlyTreeRat... No. Honorable is not the same as winning. Not sure what tree you were born under.
Also, no... Seven nation army is a generic ass bass line. Don't confuse catchy with good.
John Taylor's bass playing on "Rio" is up there for me.
I'm a Bernard Edwards stan I love that you included "Good Times" in your list. But in my opinion he had even a few better ones than that.
Louis Johnson's bassline for Michael Jackson's "Get on the Floor" is epic as well.
But like you said there are so many very good basslines its really tough to put a top 10 together.
Yeah they left out a ton of funky stuff. For them to put another one bites the dust but not good times is crazy
John copied style of Mick Karn as DD copied Japan in 80's
@@DuleBajic Japan is one of the best bands in history and super underrated!
@@M.T27 Agree....Mick Karn was amazing also in solo albums, Dalis Car, with Gary Numan, Midge Ure, Kate Bush....but here this is only boring rock bands
Oh yes! Duran Duran. " Hold back the rain" has a great bass line by John!
A hard bassline doesn't necessarily make it good. Some of these basslines on the list are relatively simple, but they're goddamn iconic. Good music can be simple.
For sure. “Dazed and Confused” is a great bass line, simple or not.
its a literal backward chronological note progression, i hardly consider that a bassline at all. yah its good at complementing the music but its not even that iconic lol
@@justinroy3769 it's literally second only to ramble on when it comes to jpjs basslines.
To add to that, being able to play it does not make you good either. its quite rare to get something you cannot actually play. for example I am a drummer, majority of Tool could be played with 2-3 years of learning drums if you have free time like a student or something. The point is, could you have written / composed something that good? probably not. It is more to do with the writing and finess and flare and style and feel than "can someone play this who is not a pro musician?"....
Hm you are right but as dave say a how to play Bass line shuldnt be in it so a good top 10 looks different
Orion's break down in the song is completely epic. Of course, the parts you played are the norm but when Cliff hits the middle section it's one of the most epic sounds and structures ever. Most people don't even realize it's bass. Good vid brother.
+1 for Orion, it's a journey in bass
@@jduncanandroid This is the thing! I've been listening to those albums for over 30 years and most of the time I didn't realise it was Cliff playing those parts. Never truly realised what an incredible bassist he was. Such a loss.
I recently heard the isolated bass track for Orion, and yeah, that middle section blew me away.
true but a solo isn't really the same as a bass line
AGEEDE 1000% MY FRIEND. I'M GOING HAVE ORION PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL...
Davie is not afraid of copyright, copyright is afraid of Davie.
Davie504 is the Chuck Norris of bass.
- Correction -
Chuck Norris is the Davie504 of karate.
Mike Rutherford for Genesis on 'The Lady Lies'.....now thats some Bass playing.

Also Norman Watt Roy With & The Blockheads in "Hit Me With You Rythmm Sticks"
Davie plays Master of Puppets but named it Enter Sandman, epic
Was looking for this comment. Thank God someone else knew this! lol
@@SkorpioMusic I was looking for it too 😂, so I just decided to put this out
I love metallica
@@filipos0093 Metallica is awesome
He also made a mistake with the Michael Jackson bassline, the song is Billie Jean! Not Beat It
Blows my mind Rush were in their TWENTIES cranking out shit like YYZ, La Villa Strangiato, and 2112. Phenomenally talented band, always happy to see them represented on these lists.
rush
Kill em All by Metallica they were like 20...
David Gilmour was only 27 having recorded The Dark Side of the Moon too.
Yes, but David cant play YYZ. He's not that good bassist
Not impressive considering Bobby Shmurda has been selling crack since like the 5th grade.
I absolutely love that Davie isn't swayed by only choosing challenging basslines that are likely more stimulating as musician to play but aren't necessarily musically the most enjoyable
roundabout being an honorable mention is the most watchmojo thing ever
2:33 Yes, my favourite Metallica song. Master of Sandman.
Thought I was tripping when I heard it
My favorite one is Enter Puppets.
@@Apethantos APPROVED 👍
Ye,infamous hit by primus - master of too many puppies.
I thought that only I who imagined it when I heard this part kkkkkkkkkk'
''Can't stop"
"Beat it"
"Good time"
Something's wrong i can feel it
this look sus
Lmao
Wrong order its
Beat It
Cant Stop
Good Time
And he played with a pick, and hid his hands... This is very sus!
“Enter Sandman”
*plays Master of Puppets
“Beat it”
*plays Billie Jean
lol, I was only listening but had to do a double take when I glanced over during that segment due to a "wait...wut?" moment.
I was looking for this comment when he played it. Cmon Davie.
everyone here missed the joke
"Bassline"
*Plays Seven Nation Army which is famously an acoustic guitar with an effects pedal
Wow, that "melody" (5:22) at the end of the bass line Come Together (Beatles) is amazing! Is this in the original song at all or did he add it himself? I just listened to the song and I don't hear it!?
Ahahah it's what musicians called "the leak", it's like a meme between musician. And you actually are the only one who noticed it in the comments
I love how even though he doesn’t approve of the song on list he still acknowledges that the band in question has had better bass lines in other songs. You definitely have a new subscriber in me!
Most Tool songs are amazing bass lines. That band is straight bass.
That band is straight drums first off, then bass, then vocals, then guitar in that order. Everyone in Tool is an amazing musician but come on, Danny Carey is one of the best drummers alive
When I think of tool bass lines, I immediately think of schism
@@yaboyblacklist2431 Forty Six & 2 also comes to mind as well.
@@DannyWH forgot about that one.
Schism has a very iconic bassline, but Forty-Six and Two is my favorite.
My favorite bassline ever sadly goes under the radar. The Pot - Tool. The main bassline is good but there’s a line in the second half of the first verse that just grooves
That somg is smokin. Thanks
I agree, especially how it doesn't allign with Adam's opening riff
Man that song is pure bass cum. Absolutely fenomenal
Your talking about the one that also appears in the very beginning of the song ?
@@amaury6978 yeah, but I think when paired with the drums it enhances it even more
I'd have thought Every Breath You Take (The Police) would be high on the list of most iconic basslines. I'm sure it's not one of the most complicated to play, but it does have a mesmerising quality that marks it out.
“Give it away-RCHP”
Hmm yes,I know this band it’s *Red Chili Hot Pepper*
😂
Bro wtf, I didn't even realize til I saw this. But honestly, I prefer this name better, it's fuckin hilarious.
pffft. everyone knows it is Red Cot Hhilli Peppers
It means
"Really Hard Chunky Phunk"
Beat it by michael Jackson
Plays Billy Jean
As a beginner bassist, I think Feel Good Inc. is a fun and iconic beginner-friendly bassline.
Wow
Just like Roundabout
Yes feel good Inc is more good than dazed and confused
Michael Jackson’s bassist was always so underrated.. great picks bro.
Underrated by later generations and today unfortunately, but in his day one of the most recorded studio musicians hehe! Louis Johnson, check out his band The Brothers Johnson they're dope!!
also Peter Cetera listen Goodbye - Chicago
He played the Billie Jean bass but said Beat it lol
Did you just say P I C K S?
PICKS
Besides your great bass playing - you are first rate funny. Thanks for this vid!
Your Enter the sandman sounded like Master of puppets lmao, Epic
No wayyy🤯
It's "Master of the Puppets"
@@agrofindastation The joke you
and beat it sounded like billie jean
That just tells me you haven't watched many Davie videos
"Just because there is a baseline in great song,doesn't means a baseline is a great baseline"-Davie504 (2021)
its BASS not BASE
@@2107isalive u checkmated me......
Dazed and Confused, and Give it Away are Iconic baselines, maybe not best technically but the song is defined by them.
they are, but not top 10 worthy
have to agree, the heartbreak when he said no to Dazed And Confused
I am kind of in the middle between Michael and Davie; I think that at the beginning, DaC is pretty simple, but then gets pretty fast in the middle and end. However, I think that there are still better Led Zeppelin baselines, such as The Lemon Song and Ramble On, that should have made the so called "list".
Then again, I might be a bit biased, since I am a huge Led Zeppelin fan.😆
@@Davie504 u piece of shit
@@Davie504 yes
Everytime I'm not in a good mood i watch one of your videos because of the way you talk to and about all of the PRETEND base players, very honest and makes me 😂😂😂
Any top ten bass list without Geddy is an incomplete list.
Truth!👍👍
Agreed
Geddy Lee, Justin Chancellor, and Cliff Burton
As a bassist I have never listened to geddy lee and probably never will
any virgin without rush is incomplete. i know because i am one.
'Another One Bites the Dust" might be easy to play, but it is so awesome!! Really gets you going every time you hear the Bass. So awesome, imo
Yhea that and Good Times were the first two I ever wanted to knock out. Love them both.
Smooth, clean, and cool. You really can't go wrong with Queen and their bass tracks.
There's so many baselines in Orion that you can't even pick a best one
Yeah, the second half of Orion has all the difficult stuff in it, and outside of maybe "Anesthesia" you're not going to find a better bass line from Metallica/ Cliff Burton.
My friend of Misery has such a good bassline, so underrated imo
@@joaocoelho160 Very iconic and catchy just not as technical as Orion
Metallica’s best bassline is The Call of Ktulu, you just can’t hear it very clearly other than the little distortion swells Cliff does.
@@chrisdobbs9155 isn't anesthesia a bass solo?
As a bassist I can mostly agree with everything said in this video although my top 10 would be a little different.

"there are way more famous basslines by metallica, such as (Enter sandman)" PROCEEDS TO PLAY MASTER OF PUPPETS
Orion is way better in my opinion
I was hoping someone else caught that
That was the joke
Hahaha true
Funny trick there lol
Chris Wolstenholme live playing Hysteria is just something else, so clean.
Easily in my top 3 basslines of all time. I've heard it live 3 times now (2nd Law, Drones, Will of the People) and dear god it's mind blowing!
Watched it live, it’s so beautiful
Thanks, man!
Orion was literally Cliff's masterpiece, and you played the wrong part, the intro and following sections are what make it iconic.
For whom the bell tolls in ''Cliff them all'' is the most crazy iconic bass than i've ever seen.
Same 👊
I agree but Orion is badass too. Cliff was amazing
Should probably stay off the shrooms/lsd if you are seeing the basslines.
Orion is the most iconic bassline from Metallica
@@ikarusxvi think more people who don’t normally listen to metallica know for whom the bell tolls more than they do orion
"Four, Beat it"
* Plays Billie Jean instead*
I instantly noticed that he doesn't know the diff.. figured I'd look at comments before I blurted it out. Good catch.
@@PDXGTP it's purposeful, he also play master of puppets on "enter sandman"
Knew I wasn't the only one who noticed this

Same for Metallica, says enter sandman, plays master of puppets
You said “Beat it” but then played the “Billie Jean” bassline.
Ikr
I was thinking the same!
I didn't catch that right away, but you are so right. Davie504 needs to get a self slapp for that mistake 🧐.
LoL same
He does that on purpose. It's a joke. It's ok that it went over your head
You actually made me laugh. Ur sense of humour is great. Ur playing is great too btw
I feel like Chris Wolstenholme should somehow figure in that list. His lines are so good, very innovative and creative...
Hysteria is iconic.
I was going to say that, Hysteria, Mercy and Bliss
Futurism>>>>>Hysteria
Hyper music one of my favourites
@@Ergoperidot Hysteria's bass riff was composed by Matt Bellamy though
This "Beat it" bass line sounds suspiciously like the one from "Billie Jean"
If I remember correctly, MJ generally wrote several different songs from the same base line and pick out the one he liked to put in album.
No he just said the wrong song. Beat it and Billie Jean have completely different bass lines, tempos and keys, ones in F sharp minor ones in Eb minor.
Yeah that was for sure Billie Jean.. Beat it's bassline sound nothing like it in any way
#4 was definitely a Billy Jean. Now, can Davie reproduce Eddie Van Halen's guitar solo in Beat It on the bass?
@@par64guy there's no way he can play that!

So, am I the only one who is hearing the music to Thus Spoke Zarathustra in his head?
Greetings from the kangaroo!
word
To me a great bass line will be one that give a song his unique identity: Money wouldn´t be Money without that bass line, regardless his simplicity.
The Who - Who Are You is in that category as well I feel
Bingo
Same with Dazed and Confused...and he only played the intro, so pretty lame on his part.
@@eyeofhorus70I noticed this too. JPJ is absolutely shredding right alongside Page in the end of the song. If he had played the later part, it would have been approved without doubt.

"You know what else is a bad choice? YOU"

Hysteria should’ve been in the top 10, it’s the holy grail for bass riffs and is a great finger exercise

That’s not a hard riff...

lol
Oh...hey?
Ehilà
What is he saying? I can't read the spaghetti letters.
Davie Answer That!!! 👌
I would say My Generation definitely deserves its spot on that list.
*OK*
Agreed, it’s one of the first rock songs with a bass break that iconic.
Something else people don’t think about is that the song was release in 1965. This is a time period when the best session bassists were still being discovered by record labels and there simply wasn’t that much high level bass playing outside of jazz records. Entwistle is an icon.
Yea.. Limp Bizkit was snubbed.
people try to get us down
These are all great ROCK basslines, but theres no such thing as a greatest basslines video without FUNK/DISCO/R&B
Yeah i dont get this to. Where is graham central station - hair ? For example
I touch on this without getting into genres in my recent comment. A few of the bass players I name were definitely influenced by bass players in those genres. John Taylor for example.
Was thinking the same. I think Davie evened it out a bit. Still as he said choosing a top ten is a hard job.
I play base rock is the easy to play some have only 4 noted some have 2 bite the Dust bunch of open notes and that little solo in between Boy please 😅

Yep!😠😠😠😠😠🤣😎
Watchin you true all these years, still a legend string player!
He kept his right hand out of the frame so you wouldn’t see him playing Roundabout with a pick
Great catch!
Checkmate
Isn’t it originally played with a pick?
Yes, but this practice is not approved by Davie 504. Now that I think about it, why does he even have a pick?
@@yyz4761 I liek using a pick 😭
Hell the bass line in Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" is also a great one that is always overlooked.
Nick Beggs....check him out with Howard Jones on 'Too Shy' and watch with amazement at his complex finger work
agreed!
100%
I always loved Pink Floyd's money and another One bites the dust
but I never realized how much those iconic bass lines drove those songs.
Also Cliff Burton and Orion should have been way higher on the list!
I would think that they would have used the bass line later on in Orion (the bass interlude I guess)
@@maxlm07 absolutely, I thought that's what would have been featured. It's the line Burton is remembered by, tattooed on Hetfield's arm.
Theres so many queen songs like that. John Deacon probably one of the greatest bass players ever. Radio gaga starts off bass, same with under pressure(which spawned ice ice baby) another one bites the dust as mentioned, thats just off the top of my head, but John Deacon was known for that and often went under the radar because of how good Freddie and Brian were as well.
I liked that he played money left handed or backwards for him lol
Orion is Perfect. ... it is my single favorite piece of music ever written.
I guess we all have our favourites..
I couldn't think of a list of bass-lines without including
Pino Palladino playing on Paul Youngs "Wherever I lay my hat"
and
Level 42 "Lessons in love"
Schism should have easily been in the top 10. Justin is a phenomenal bassist who doesn't get enough credit
You couldn't be more correct.
As a tool fan, i completely agree with this
same with Hysteria, Chris Wolstenhome is a mad man on bass and he deserves a Top 10 spot in my opinion.
Ong ❤️
Schism probably more technical but Forty Six & Two more iconic for me
When I saw Roundabout was an honorable mention, I actually laughed at the list maker. Then I realized "He's not a bass or guitar player, has no idea does he?" Hard for many to cross that line.
Roundabout's bass line is iconic as all hell, the fact they put it in honorable mention makes this list super invalid
Fun to see Steven Nation Army (which Jack White played on guitar) on David’s list of baselines.
Also, Give It Away must truly be the most epic RHCP baseline. Check out the making of video. Rick Rubin was pushing Flea to keep it as simple as possible. He’s essentially bursting with energy but manages to restrain himself. Epic!
Well it is played on guitar that had lower pitch because of a pedal, but it is practically a bass part, so it kinda can be considered a bass line?
@@miss.saxophone nah
Not to mention he said beat it and proceeded to play Billie Jean
@@sgtsalmon That's an intentional troll. Same as the Metallica one
Nice...but there are two world-class iconic basslines missing: TALK-TALK/Paul Webb "It's my life" and Kajagoogoo/Nick Beggs "too shy"!
We need a whole cover of Orion!
Finally someone said it
Bassed
Davie stopped right before the solo ;_;
There was a really big blasphemy there with the rejection of Orion. I am glad I am no longer subscribed and definitely not liking the video
@ yeah for real, orion is a fucking masterpiece,
You gotta be blind to not see that orion is one of metallicas best bass songs
That moment when your own song unironically fits the #1 spot :D
I was hoping Rush's "La Villa Strangiato, Zeppelin's "Lemon Song," and Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" had gotten a shout. Maybe Stevie's "Sir Duke" as well.
I Wish is iconic, As baseline is my favorite on that album!
I would definitely argue that La Villa is not the song that shows Geddy's abilities best. It's an amazing song, and I definitely say it is one of the best Guitar lines though. I may have gone with Freewill though
Boo Dazed and Confused is happily as iconic as Come Together and Money when it gets going in the chorus.
Davie Looks so triggered when Hysteria was an honorable mention lmaoo
Should’ve been top 10
While played on bass in live shows, the actual riff is doubled on Matt Bellamy's custom Manson guitar electronically downtuned
@Kevin Michael i can play some harder stuff and i don't even touch roundabout. It's not about just a rite of passage it's a sacred piece :D
Hysteria is definitely top 10 all time
He should be
Seeing Davie play Orion made my day
I wanna to see the solo, that made me sad 😥
me too!
Davie not approving of Orion being on the list, hurt me physically.
Davie playing Maiden and giving recognition to Steve Harris made mine :)
No list of bass lines is complete without “hit me with your rhythm stick” by Ian Dury and the blockheads,
The list isn’t great, hardly any representation of some of the true greats like Duck Dunn, so many of his lines are iconic. Some of the syncopated disco era stuff like Everybody Dance and Good Times don’t even get a mention, even though they clearly inspired Another One Bites The Dust.
Indeed.
ha ha true
8:32 that's Billy Jean, not Beat It, or has my memory truly and utterly deserted me?
