fast paced bass intros

[bassguy123]

what are your favorite fast paced bass intros? preferably punk, but whatever is cool, post here.

i like "last one out of liberty city" by less than jake. not overly technical, but it gets the blood pumping.

[JxB]

hysteria by muse? thats always fun to listen to

[edgebass5]

Angry Young and Poor by Anti-Flag is a good one, but Bath of Least Resistance by NOFX would be my favorite fast-paced punk bass intro.

[Moon Flavor]

Walking Away by Catch 22. Nice and jazzy intro.
Funny Papers by Mu330. Craziness.

[Jody LeCompte]

Anything by Black Flag.

Six Pack has an AWESOME distorted bass intro, and nice tone as well.

EDIT: Just a hunch, but I think jc will agree.

[lais817]

I always liked the start to Strung Out's "Firecracker". Cemetary is good too, but not really fast I guess. oh, and "see her pee' by NOFX - not fast, but just fits really well and sounds sweet as

[naut]

Gray Matter - "Burn No Bridges"

Rancid - "White Knuckle Ride"

Megadeth - "Peace Sells..."

Necrophagist - "Only Ash Remains"

Testament - "Practice What You Preach"

Type O Negative - "Kill All The White People"

Yngwie Malmsteen - "Arpeggios From Hell"

Atheist - "Unholy War"

Atheist - "I Deny"

[The_Red_Death]

The intro to Like The Angel by Rise Against is damn fun to play. And yeah, Last One Out Of Liberty City immediately came to mind when I saw this thread.

EDIT: Also, a mellow bass intro that leads into a fast paced song: ASAOK by Less Than Jake

omganotheredit: Another song that's simple, but still fun to play is Kursk by A Wilhelm Scream. The first part of the intro, anyway. It's not all bass, but the bass sticks out more than anything at the beginning. Plus, their bassist has a killer tone. Stingrays = secks.

Rufio - Above Me, Still

[penguinskater77]

Blink182-Carousel FTW heh...
j/k i find myself playing Trooper by Iron Maiden quite often

[hartke20g]

"The Decline" NoFx is an awesome song period. it's actually extremely easy to play and memorize, even though it's 18 minutes long and filled with bass solos. but good luck finding 2 guitarists (and a trumpet if you're a nofx purist) who can keep up.

also, if you can find a nice keyboard intro, maybe you should transcribe it for a bass.

[EADG]

NOFX - Idiots Are Taking Over


Fat Mike = underrated.

[[ Absolut Terror ]]

Bring Out Your Dead - Anti-Flag
Rejected and Unwanted - The Casualties

Those are two off the top of my head, possibly my two favorites.

[Esp Griffyn]

123 on that big buddy. Have you been reading their blog lateley? They just finished recording for their new album. My band pretty much wants to be frenzal.

[funkyhoney]

i didnt know they had a blog, link me now!

they lost a little something when lex left, but they still rock

i also want a band that wants to be frenzal (brisbane sucks)

[Criss Frantic]

Wait til my band's next EP, it'll have frenzal written all over it.

Tom's such a bass snob, he plays a Sadowsky through an Eden.

i look forward to this new EP

do you know what it was lex played with and through?

[Criss Frantic]

Ummm i think i remember reading somehwere that he played a Stingray...but i can't back that up, and i've no idea what he played through.

[MasterofBass]

Spastic Ink are mental. Heard them about a year ago but I still haven't got round to getting an album.

You definitely should get one. Their first album, Ink Complete is just crazy. The bass on that album I think is amazing everywhere (My personal favorite is To Counter And Groove in E minor).

EVERYBODY CHECK OUT SPASTIC INK!!! You'll be glad you did!


Anyways, some of my favorite bass intros


Higher Ground - RHCP

Around the World - RHCP

Panic Attack - Dream Theater

From Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica

Peace Sells - Megadeth

Five Magics - Megadeth

The Drapery Falls - Opeth (i love how the melody in the beginning is bass)


I can't think of any more at the moment, but there are alot that I didn't mention.

[funkyhoney]

[Rollo47]

damn, thats a shame no one seems to know, his tone was fantastic

I'm almost certain that he played a Stingray, but I'm not sure of what his rig was. The new bassist used a Stingray when I've seen them play in the past.

[Criss Frantic]

Tom (the new bassist) plays a sadowsky now, at least that's what he records with. I dunno if i'd wanna play one on stage with Frenzal...

[Moon Flavor]

Dazed and Confused- Led Zeppelin

[Criss Frantic]

Not punk but "Shallow Be Thy Game" by the Peppers has a great intro of bass and guitar.
