Pretty awesome, but it's number one for me.

Of course, someone commented "I thought the Green Day entry was the joke". >_>. That's a classic bassline, I don't care what you say. In a few of those ( I gave quick listens to one or two) the bassline was barely audible... I'll grant RHCP and definitely Queen, though.

For me is N. 1 too :happy:

And it's always funny when they tell the story around it :lol:

Posted

It should be No. 1, but still awesome! :)

It is a pretty nifty little bassline! Glad to see it on the list :happy:

Also fuck that YYZ song, took me hundreds of attempts to 5 star that on Guitar Hero.

And it's always funny when they tell the story around it :lol:

So true :lol:. I bet it has the best story behind it of the lot.

Glad to see Would by AIC on that list too. One of my all time favorites.

well, at least that was the only negative comment towards Green Day in the article, which doesn't happen often lol

and good to see that comment has -6 rating lol

I'd put Queen at #1, and then Green Day at #2. XD.

and I'm sure its the only one in the list that was made with the magical power of Acid.

Why would you assume that? I assume all good music is made by drugs until told otherwise :P

i prefer no one knows over longview... good choices on that list though

Today Ultimate Guitar voted the song Longview number 10 in its Top 10 Basslines Of All Time article. Its great to see it in the list, and I'm sure its the only one in the list that was made with the magical power of Acid.

Nice Job Mike Dirnt!

And I can play all of them :dance: Anyway, yeah, it's a ranking of the cock and very approximate. :ermm:

Longview has great basslines, but I have to say Journey to the end of the east bay by Rancid should be on that list. That bassline is amazing!!!!

Yes! I agree that one is killer.

Basically I can agree with that list. I'm only missing Hysteria by Muse. It's just epic.

Posted

Cool list, but I hate that Another One Bites the Dust is always rated as John Deacon's best. Millionaire Waltz and You're My Best Friend have epic basslines. And I hate to be that guy, but not one single McCartney Beatles bassline on this list? He pretty much invented melodic bass.

Posted

It should be number 2...

Because Money really deserves to be number 1 because Pink Floyd is probably one of the biggest bands of all time.

Posted

Its always number one for me. Havent quite covered it on my bass, I'm close but yeah I make mistakes all the time.

Posted

Imagine you were Billie and you came in, and you saw Mike playing bass on LSD. I imagine Billie's face when he saw Mike :D

Great bassline !

Posted

Great! I would definitely put Longview in my top 5 GD songs, and one of the reasons I love it so much is the kick ass bassline. For me longview is one of those timeless songs that will never wear out and will always be one of my favourites.

Posted

Should be #1 in my opinion :P

Basically I can agree with that list. I'm only missing Hysteria by Muse. It's just epic.

Ah, indeed :happy:

awesome work, Dirnt! you made us proud :)
