29pearls Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yay for spamming polls! Heh, this win is getting Muse some odd press. This morning, local classic rock station did a countdown playing bits from each song. Started with "who's Tool?" "can't hear the bass" on My Generation or Metallica, they thought Money should've been #1 (I might agree), spent 2 minutes listening to Rush cuz "it's so badass", & then finally Muse -- had no idea who they were. But then they played the intro & the announcer says "Never heard this song but THAT is one killer bass line". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum IV Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 But then they played the intro & the announcer says "Never heard this song but THAT is one killer bass line". So he had a Musegasm on air? Wish I'd heard that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I love all the butthurt youtube comments about this. "it only sounds good because they had the balls to put it on the album" ...what? The full quote: "holy crap people cannot be saying this is the greatest bassline of all time..... all time? its a glorified guitar lead, it only sounds good because they had the balls to put it on the album, look at any other songs such as squeeze me macaroni or pow (larry graham) or jesus.. even under pressure! understand the instrument before you say some rank 2000's prog band has the best bassline ever" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodoo oz Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I have to agree! One of the most recognisable bass intros... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adds Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 worthy winners. but not one RATM song on there? they have some epic basslines. listening to Take the power back atm. certainly my favourite bass in a song ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentley Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 \ but not one RATM song on there? they have some epic basslines. This. Bulls On Parade (intro riff), Guerilla Radio, Calm like bomb (intro/solo) are all good bass riffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiko Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I think with topics like this is that many people immediately try and think of the most technical or most difficult of things, rather than those that are the most effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I think with topics like this is that many people immediately try and think of the most technical or most difficult of things, rather than those that are the most effective. But, with Muse, technicality and effectiveness tend to come hand-in-hand for the bass-lines. Hyper Music, Dark Shines, Futurism, Hysteria and New Born are all good examples of this.

Wow. They know the TIRO bassline and not the Hysteria bassline? Really?? The article got to a point where they were just trying to insult the band Whoever wrote this article really likes Queen...

Nipso Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm probably missing something here not being in any way acquainted with the bass guitar, but isn't Another One Bites the Dust's just... 3 notes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm probably missing something here not being in any way acquainted with the bass guitar, but isn't Another One Bites the Dust's just... 3 notes? The main bass-line of the song has 5 notes but it's quality not quantity I do agree with the article when it says that Muse fans swamp the awards though. I mean, Muse wouldn't win half the awards they do if it wasn't for us lot voting like hell so it is a bit unjust that they always win things and Hysteria is certainly not the best bass-line ever nor even the best Muse bass-line ever but people shouldn't get annoyed that their preferred band didn't win. The list was fairly bad anyway. EDIT: Actually, Another One Bites The Dust does only have 3 notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is but just because something is easy doesn't mean its bad. IMHO, another One Bites The Dust, Sven Nation Army and Under Pressure are all brilliant, in my mind. I still prefer Les and Wooten, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
