Stone Temple Pilots - Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart (Isolated Rhythm Section)

[@hiimemily]

Robert DeLeo is one of the most underrated bassists in rock.

[@nobldd]

I rate him right where he belongs....at the top

[@jimmc2990]

Amen

[@youropionmattersnot]

Brilliant bass player.

[@MrSrtman18]

Hes bobby d man. Fuckin awesome.

[@thedoctor8]

Plays so many notes even as a bassist. It’s insane

[@rockboy360]

He was the best bass player in grunge for sure.

[@tylerriely8079]

Dont get me wrong DeLeo is awesome, but pay more attention to krist novoselic, particularly on the nevermind album

[@blppt]

@@tylerriely8079 Novoselic is not in Rob's league. Maybe Ament or Shepherd (Soundgarden).

[@Canibrerdo]

grunge has always had amazing bassists. you forgot about Jeff Ament and Mike Starr

[@artvandelay4485]

Yeah definately at the top. Shepherd is a close second i'd say.

[@stereostigma5794]

@@tylerriely8079 nobody in Nirvana save for Dave had anywhere near the musical ability of any of the dudes in STP. That's not to say that you couldn't argue Nirvana made "better songs". That's all subjective. But as far as skill, the Deleo brothers could play circles around kurt and Kris and that's a fact

[@casesuit]

0:38-0:43 one of the coolest bass lines in rock.

[@Gwyn1stborn]

I guess it's really 1:19 where it repeats the way you want it to the first time, but i totally agree

[@Fakename70]

Rob says he played it just how Kretz did on the demo.

[@monkeybitemusic1827]

@@Fakename70wait kretz wrote the baseline too ?

[@Fakename70]

@@monkeybitemusic1827 according to Rob, yes. “Kretzel” (let’s see how many people remember the band interview feature where that nickname was used) was credited for really writing some cool songs for both STP and Talk Show.

[@alexandraw.4012]

😩 Robert DeLeo (STP) and Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle) have my bass loving heart in their bass playing hands.

[@diddymercs]

One of my favorite bass players, so many little Jamerson runs in there!

[@scottmasson3039]

Absolutely Jamerson. Good ears!

[@gigisdad]

+Dave Musgrave He's said in interviews that JJ was his biggest influence.

[@FirstLast-cf4mi]

Jamerson?

[@VideoMask93]

@@FirstLast-cf4mi James Jamerson, the legendary bassist on hundreds of Motown songs (What's Going On, I Heard It Through the Grapevine, My Girl, You Can't Hurry Love, etc). Hugely influential for bass as a melodic instrument in pop music.

[@andrewsorenson6750]

yeah, Soundgarden were jazz-fusion/rnb players too, Matt Cameron is pretty open about his affinity for Billy Cobham and Steely Dan records, but these guys figured out they could write simpler rock songs that get played all over the radio and make a ton of money doing it

[@johnjayjay]

That bass and drum isolated sounds almost like a funk track. Freakin good.

[@chlum6295]

Funk rock, chili peppers but better

[@duderdudeedoo1984]

Man this has James Jamerson written all over it. This guy is so awesome

[@dakotadale567]

I'll never be able to find it but there's an interview about this song where he specifically says this was his interpretation of how Jamerson would have played the song or something similar to that.

[@Princeton_James]

Nothing like a driving bassline. This bassline really carries the entire song.

[@FeDeDarrell]

Robert DeLeo and Andy Rourke are two of the most underrated bass players of rock.

[@DaveTaste]

I think everything that ever happened is underrated

[@lisagy4354]

...STP .....what a great rhythm section with the Deleo brothers and Eric Krets .......damn it Scott !

[@Gwyn1stborn]

This is the best bassline I've ever heard

[@sca1871]

Great bass player with a lot of influences other than just rock. Dude is amazing

[@kelseymariel2127]

Was blessed to see these guys live three times back then. My favorite band in the 90's without a doubt. Don't cut out my paper heart, I ain't dying anyway.

[@babyjesuslovesme1219]

My favorite, Stone Temple Pilots song, and the bass guitar is definitely the hero of this song. Thank you for posting this.

[@mastermindmartialarts]

Such a funky , groovy bassline.

[@VanzKantDanz]

Very underrated bassist, always loved how seamlessly he blended the raw funkness of James Jamerson and the elegant although at some times absurd melodic style of Sir Paul. I hate pretty much every band he's been in but I love his style. Truly remarkable.

[@TexasRock]

Solid player. I'm pretty sure Robert is the main song writer in STP.

[@jimfliptx]

+Mr. Moore Wiki credits the music to the drummer, Eric Kretz, but it's definitely Rob's bass that makes this. I wasn't ever really blown away by Eric Kretz to be honest, but that's just me. There were hundreds of drummers then and now who could play the same stuff, probably better. He was good for STP, I guess. But nobody could have come up with that bassline other than Rob.

[@CraneonBand]

+jimfliptx Eric writes great songs too (take Talk Show for example). I'm sure he gave Rob the basic idea and then he gave it the crazy funkiness. Robert is the writer of 85-90% of STP's songs. He's a true songwriting master.

[@luckyrocket1903]

+jimfliptx I'm not so sure, he might not be the flashiest drummer but he has great feel to his sound, a lot of drummers are technically brilliant but they don't have the groove

[@fasteddie617]

They wear all great...caught lightening in a bottle when Scott, Dean, Robert and Eric got together. Robert was not the main song writer.

[@jackstrawfromwichita6168]

+Lucky Rocket He got better after the first two albums. His playing early on was pretty sloppy.

[@DaveTaste]

Everything that ever happened is underrated. All these massively successful musicians.

[@hughpm]

Amazing isolation of the track, thanks

[@luckyrocket1903]

fuck these guys are brilliant instrumentalist alone, those bass runs are killer and the drumming great feel with those little nuances

[@joepachecocastro02]

i love the bass on this song

[@CaboWabotv]

killer bass riffs

[@72Stiles]

So much Jamerson in his playing...

[@endocry]

The John Paul Jones of his generation.

[@luckyrocket1903]

+endocry I heard Scott say in an interview Robert almost never missed a note

[@endocry]

Lucky Rocket Robert is the backbone of that band...or I guess was :(

[@lovesthebass]

Oh man, that's a good comparison.

[@blppt]

Both Deleo brothers were HUGE Zep fans, so thats a good analogy.

[@travis5125]

Perhaps.. . but DeLeo never foregoes his bass to play the piano, organ, or funk clav!

[@jcqa333]

uow...the drum player is very good!!!

[@petermcclymont7347]

Oh my. Beautiful! So much walking.

[@Abassman1967]

One of the greatest bass lines ever written!

[@alexmckinney7588]

Definitely one of the most underrated bassist’s in the whole music scene and an awesome songwriter too with very busy bass playing styles. I bet he firstly learned bass on an upright traditional bass as his style is very much like a player who would have played an upright bass and has moved over to electric bass back in the day? I would put him up there with Flea as one of the best in the world and so so underrated as a songwriter!!! Love to STP!! 🤘🤘

[@VikoTheBassist]

One of their few songs written by Eric Kretz.

[@jamiesonk777]

Learning this tune for my band. It brings everything into perspective and good to hear

[@JuanPigni84]

Tremendo bajista!

[@jamiesonk777]

I love this!!! I think Deleo’s pseudo jammerson lines rule

[@paulchick3007]

This is incredible! Eric wrote this tune...

[@miajc6606]

Wow, really? I didn’t know that

[@andrewsorenson6750]

yeah and Scott wrote the guitar part for Tumble in the Rough

[@zacsam1615]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

[@timothydukeman7619]

I think I found a new groove to learn for soundcheck.

[@eijoobeatbox]

tight bass bob

[@daniellllll45419]

Drummer composed this song indeed.

[@hillsmith]

Zombie thread, but thanks for this! Sometimes it's hard to hear what they do on the albums, this helps. Rob is playing stuff I didn't imagine during the verse. Wow! The STP is SO underrated!

[@CraneonBand]

Unreal

[@rbrock2928]

So awesome. Sounds like it’s coming off a movie soundtrack from Lalo Schifrin.

[@owtlaw1337]

holy snot this sounds good to me

[@otisandspauiding]

This is such a dope bass line!

[@meedily]

His baselines are unbelievably brilliant. I could never write like that. I'm closer to Billy Gould than DeLeo. lol.

[@chickybluetherealone]

Very cool.

[@SergioBuilds2000]

picks are for kids

[@carofilo]

te vuela la peluca!

[@lunade13]

Thanks for share! Where can I download this track?

[@ronaldbrasseur9327]

A count down would of been nice. Liked this track better but used the one with a count down

[@franktreppiedi2208]

His parts sound alot more difficult when its mixed w everything else.

[@jshada11]

Did he use a schecter to record tiny music with?

[@coleashmore]

how to you guys isolate bass parts are you getting auld of masters or getting them of the sound board at a live venue? please help!

[@diegus012]

Guitar hero. In order for the game to stop an instrument when you suck, it has to have the isolated tracks. People reverse-engineered the encrypted files within the game.

[@bassrabbit9]

+diegus012 Thanks! More STP bass, please!
