I am a simple man. I hear a cure bass line, I like and I comment.

[@smithjohn383]

No Lovesong? That's really, really unexpected. After all it's the best bassline ever.

[@HeroinChrist]

Nope! Not even close :P

[@theanonymouscat5062]

Not even close.

[@bernatsanroma.ot2001]

Lovesong bassline is very nice

[@robobunch4212]

Maybe not the best, but pretty damned good.

[@fhu868]

The Cure had killer bass lines

[@vampirelogic]

"have"

[@czguy3045]

Very glad for the video, but man... Other Voices HAS to be on the list of best Cure bass lines and I'd put The Holy Hour up there. Other Voices is easily top 3 for me. Possibly my very favorite.

[@Monocultured01]

Definitely. The bass tone alone in that song should land it on this list.

[@sifugurusensei]

Everything on Faith has pretty cool basslines

[@HeroinChrist]

Absolutely. Incredibly disappointing to not see any faith here.

[@fridastwin]

Correct on all accounts!!!

[@milkcarton6654]

another journey by train and sinking are in my top too I'd put play for today, the bassline i played the most probably in my life as when i was learning to play 25 years ago i was obsessed with it. Also love How Beautiful you are and charlotte sometimes.

[@bartolmarodi7037]

I would add Grinding Halt, fantastic bass line

[@sjydedekaak6304]

Could you do a Lullaby bass play along?

[@thombrady420]

“Watching Me Fall” is an awesome bassline

[@midnightvega1971]

Icing Sugar and Man In My Mouth(B-side) would be great additions. Well done, and I enjoyed your playing and choice! Cheers from AZ!

[@briceleclercq101]

Do a top 10 The Cure bass lines is a tuff one! I couldn't choose... There are too many great songs based on the bassline to choose from

[@roseault6335]

You make that look so eeeeeeazy!! xx well done and God I love that band

[@davidfox7983]

Love the bass Great covers to bro

[@Andyjefford]

Круто!!! Coooool!!!!

[@brottarnacke]

Great stuff.

[@novadhd]

Great tone very cool. Thanks

[@GVike]

That is the Jazz Bass sound...

[@maxmarkowski7641]

For that Peter Hook and Simon Gallup sound, do I go for a p bass or a j bass. I love both basses, but if I could have JUST ONE, which one do i go for??

[@brandocalrissian3294]

Simon Gallup along with Hunter Bergan from AFI are the reasons i have played the bass for 20+ years.

[@tbrown15]

The bassline in Mint Car is amazing…

[@MartyWilson100]

Lovesong

[@hercholand]

"Out of this world" for me the best bass line for the cure

[@bassicallyit3945]

nice once :)

[@user-ff6ws8wb4k]

Very strong list! The Cure are incredible!

[@bedroomstudios2614]

Instant Subscribe! Can you do a Bass Habits Episode about Peter Hook, pretty please?

[@DanielHuman1996]

Nice tone, you nailed it!

[@darkthrone9917]

100% awesome!!!

[@peterlightning9235]

Other Voices is one that always stood out to me.

[@NaeroK87]

Sinking looks really fun to play

[@HalfandHalfBand]

Indeed it is. One of Simon's best bass lines.

[@margheritaascolano176]

LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOVE!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@NOYOUSHUTUP3.14]

Damn you have great tone in this video! What gear are you using?

[@grantfryer407]

[@ciarancooling3014]

Is Tom Peterson form cheap trick worth a video?

[@user-db3ij1ch5k]

Most excellent tone! What’s your signal chain?

[@emiliomagro4216]

Very professional.... O. K.

[@antohaskotch6471]

cool video. What drums did you use? Is this some kind of vst plugin?

[@ronaldosaobernardodorosari744]

É impressindível a hamonização da bateria com o baixo. Parabéns!

[@rodjames5771]

Please do Oliver Riedel Rammstein - another fantastic but under rated Bass Player :)

[@MuRpHyKn0t]

Lovecats!

[@j8929]

Now how to sound like Paul Del Bello! lml

[@daniX12345]

Son demasiadas!

[@garrettfiller3418]

I agree with most of these, except might have swapped "lullaby" for "burn" off the crow soundtrack. Would love to heat that isolated bass riff!

[@djpage7]

I assume that the riffs were written by Robert Smith. One thing to note, is that they are some killer bass riffs.

[@TC1982-4]

Every bass line in this video was written and played by Simon.

[@dinghao8541]

What's the basis of your assumption? You just threw something like and 21 people agreed with you?

[@djpage7]

@@dinghao8541 Smith is the principal songwriter, most of the songs are his ideas.

[@kashmir87]

@@djpage7 he writes all the lyrics and a lot of the music but many of the songs start out as instrumental demos by other band members, in particular Simon. if you look at the deluxe editions of their albums, there are a bunch of "RS home demo" versions, where we can assume Robert wrote all of the music. with some others they've explicitly been noted as Simon's ideas, e.g. Lovesong, High, Mint Car, The Perfect Girl, Same Deep Water and Untitled too, I think.

[@TheLostBoy1974]

Icing Sugar!

[@richardpanter8889]

Brill

[@davidfinlay8012]

Mint car is wicked!

[@garenne2485]

Oui et avez vous remarqué la basse dans la chanson 17seconds, rien à voir à priori avec les accords de guitare, et pourtant...

[@paultinajero9733]

What pickup are you using more? bridge or neck?

[@PaulDelBelloYT]

neck pickup most of the time

[@nabidianacarolinaachury3218]

A forest ❤❤❤ necesito volver a tocar

[@GVike]

Let's Go To Bed is NOT in this list???? HOW??? That might be their BEST bassline!!!

[@bedroomstudios2614]

Or Lovecats. Thinking about it, the video would have been very long if he played every Gallup's awesome bassline.

[@cine.delmundo]

its his top, make yours if you dont like hahahaha

[@bedroomstudios2614]

@@cine.delmundo good idea

[@vernonharmon4007]

@@bedroomstudios2614 Well, all of the Japanese Whispers era tracks were when Simon was out of the band, so those are technically Robert basslines.

[@joshen6010]

I hope one day I would see them play sinking on the stage~

[@alfonsethegreat]

No open?

[@fantasyremixes1919]

Obviously, you can't include them all, and it's subjective. But I would've expected to see 'From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea', that has a pretty ingenious progression (compared to the very plain, albeit catchy "Just Like Heaven")

[@suckstobeblue]

Nice, but mad that Torture, Lovecats and Mint Car aren't on here

Playing sinking like I used to. Three notes instead of two at the end.

[@ManuelMartinez-pd9sj]

Can't believe you left out Love Song 👎

[@Kat-nd5fq]

surprised not to hear Secrets and Close To Me

[@54bluesbass15]

There are 2 bassists that I would like your take/review of: 1. Adam Clayton of U2. Even though I am not a huge U2 fan (do like their main hits), I just want your evaluation of him and ways to make the bass-lines more interesting to play. 2. Dusty Hill of ZZ Top. Although his lines are also fairly straight-forward, I find his to be more fun to play..Yes, I like them a lot more for many reasons.

[@cesarac1083]

primary? that song and the album in general is all about the bass

[@HeadacheMachine]

KING's X dUg Pinnick please!!!!

[@Pogokoala]

Another great bassist is the one from Bauhaus.

Close to me? Lovecats?

[@HeadacheMachine]

what? no Love Cats???

[@cronaon317]

Disintegration well represented 👍

[@donalmaguire6099]

did robert write those? I believe he wrote the bulk of the music for disintegration by himself.

[@TC1982-4]

@@donalmaguire6099 That's incorrect. Lovesong for example was formed around Simon's bassline. Homesick was created by Lol before he was kicked out of the band. Simon and Lol contribute a lot to the Cure's song writing process. During the creation of Faith for example both Lol and Simon contributed to the lyrics. Lol - "All Cats Are Grey" for example. During Disintegration the instrumentation was developed by all members of the band. People tend to forget about the other members and only focus on Robert.

[@hollisbrown62]

E The drowning man ?

[@Nightshifter-ht9eq]

no „love cats“???

[@ahrband]

Top 10 The Cure bass lines and no "Close to You"!?! Solid list overall, but IMO "Close to You", especially the "Mixed Up" version, has to be one of the band's most iconic songs which the bass lays the foundation for with keys and drums.

[@willmitchell6521]

Hello!! Disintegration?
