Greatest bass lines in modern music

[Larry Gude]

Good bass line ...The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army

That fits in with Tilted's Queen.

I prefer 7 nation.

The bass line isn't the riff that every kid learns how to play when they first pick up a guitar - duh duh duh, duh duh duhduh, duh duh duh, duhduhduh - but the part that comes in about 30 secs into the song, after the lead and the drums are established.

Right? Or no?

thats what i started humming when I saw this thread..just wasn't sure it was a "bass line' for sure.

Okay, I just wanted to make sure I knew what a bass line was.

You do. I over reacted to Tilted's original post in a fit of musical self righteousness and snobbish indignation.

Imagine.

Nope. The first was the best. Iron Maiden; Iron Maiden.

Eddie reminds me of Nick Nolte's mugshot in that one.

Not bad... but not the best IMO. No bloody hatchet - no nothing. Just standing on a street corner looking like a scarecrow doing his O-face.

This is cover is number two;

Again, not bad... but not my favorite.

I'd put Number of the Beast above that one. (which I rate at #2 after Killers)

Then Killers!

To each their own... Killers ranks among the best all-time album covers for me. Not just Iron Maiden covers... but ALL album covers by all artists.





Even above The Fame by Gaga.





There.
I said it.

Gosh, I hope that doesn't get you shot!

Good call

Too soon.

We Lady Gaga fans need a support group. It isn't fair that we have to suffer alone, ashamed to admit that we like music that rocks (even if the rocking is done in a classically pop-ey kind of a way).

Does the concept of 'contradiction in terms' mean anything to you?

That which does not rock...can not.

I knew what I was saying.

 

[bcp]

No mention of
Sins a good mans brother
or Foot stompin music?

I am baffled.

I agree. Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward recovery.

Ow! My balls!

I'm in...

Maybe "Lady" Gaga will loan you hers while yours recover.

 

[desertrat]

I always liked "Let it rain", Clapton.

Now I gotta go listen to some Poker Face to cheer myself up. Oh well, at least I'm not in denial anymore.
