Top 20 METAL BASS INTROS Of All Time | With tabs

[@robertray2714]

Playing ace of spaces and schizm without a pick is diabolic behavior lmao

[@henryoaten8547]

i promise you, and i’m not flexing or anything, schism played with just fingers is not difficult i promise

[@JVR10893]

@@henryoaten8547it wasn’t a comment on the difficulty, but the tone that comes from playing those with a pick.

[@MaskedJackal87]

and Bello WITH a pick... strange choices here

[@dillonjosephdrums9386]

AND 46 and 2

[@OneTrueVikingbard]

Guess that makes me s4t4n, then. Every time I pick up a bass guitar at a music store, I play “Schism” and “Vicarious”, along with some other pieces by Geezer Butler, Cliff Burton, and Steve Harris

[@TheHoojo]

Awesome inclusion of the whole Friend of Misery solo

[@Chapitours]

yeah and the transition with seemann is just beautiful !!

[@Iceguide]

Cliff was so far ahead of his time, he got sounds out of the bass, we didn't even know they existed *Cliff 'em All* 🤘

[@victorcoleman949]

Metallica would be a completely different band if he were still alive. He'd be constantly challenging them musically.

[@faamecanic1970]

Cliff's sister said Cliff went to college and got an associates degree in Electrical Engineering.... just so he could modify his amp to get the sound he wanted. PURE GENIUS... and wonder where bass playing would be today had he lived!

[@BassRacerx]

@@faamecanic1970 I think a lot of digital and solid state things would have been fully adopted much sooner if someone like him was still around to adopt it as well. people were stuck in their own ways of preferring tubes being best well into the 2000s and even 2010s and but the technology had been there since the 90s.

[@Iceguide]

@@faamecanic1970 cheers mate

[@phantomlord067]

I appreciate the extra love for Jason. Love that live intro

[@CEKHEP]

I'd also add Alice in Chains - Rotten Apple

[@unSelf21]

That is a tasty bass riff. Good call. 👍

[@crazeyjoe]

Would? as well!

[@ScarFace5566]

@@crazeyjoeYup, Would is AIC at their absolute Best!

[@wrongperfection]

Some of my favorite bass intros: Death - Spirit Crusher (Scott Clendenin) Beyond Creation - The Aura (Dominic 'Forest' Lapointe) Archspire - Drain of Incarnation (Jared Smith) Alkaloid - Qliphosis (Linus Klausenitzer)

[@SumplePump]

Death bass lines are so underrated.

[@riperkiller9787]

Love that you included some tech death band ❤

[@lukefenwick1607]

Spirit Crusher has some awesome bass

[@alexdufour-quevillon5225]

Solus by First Fragment ( Dominic 'Forest' Lapointe) this guy is so crazy

[@bassican7]

The extra love for my hero Jason Newsted 🤘🏼

[@facelessandnameless]

That Symphony X bassline is absolutely insane 🔥

[@jhkerensky8769]

Sick Inspiration to learn practice and get the tone, thanks!!!

[@agent.orange89]

Spirit Crusher by Scott Clendenin

[@riccardocrespi6223]

Just for putting Testament's Souls Of Black you deserve my respect

[@alexandercurtis4427]

I cant believe you added I Can't Hide!!! That song is beyond underrated

[@IbanezRG10]

"Come Sweet Death" by Bach is where Cliff got the inspiration from for Damage, Inc. Cliff was ahead of his time ♫

[@mayscough72]

They are all great bass intros and played to perfection, this might upset some folk because he wasn’t a metal bass player but the groundwork for all these great bass players in my opinion was the late great John Entwhistle from The Who, he paved the way for the bass to be used as a lead instrument, just a thought.

[@ShrektheOgre4real]

NIB blows everything away in my opinion.

[@latdamon3602]

Geezer will forever be my favorite metal bassist

[@timg5011]

"Blood On The World's Hands" by Steve Harris. Lovely use of harmonics.

[@garrickoestriecher1259]

Ngl, I was thinking my friend of misery wasn't going to make your list, but glad you included the live one specifically. I never heard that one before your video

[@jayb0627]

I think it's from the Live Shit Binge & Purge - San Diego. Jason's Solo.

[@88Nyman]

Knight jups the queen-annihilator that bassline is solid af 😮

[@geólogohenrique]

Perfect!! Could have one more: 21 - Dark Tranquility - Lethe

[@Psychad3lFx6669]

Great covers Justin chancellor from tool uses a pick tho and Lemmy, also frank bello in got the time starts with a pick then switches to fingers

[@blppt]

Control Denied - What If (Steve Digiorgio)

[@user-jb3th9fr4v]

I like this man's tone

[@akngadiron7466]

Ozzy - Perry mason. Nice to have dawn patrol in yer list. Not just intro, but the whole song is bassline 😂

[@JBjopa8]

Just awesome!! Great job 🤘🏻😎loved it so much

[@brunocostaesilva]

Amazing list.

[@Sadion666]

Evile-In Memoriam is also brilliant, doubly so because the entire song is an homage to their previous bass player Mike Alexander who sadly passed away.

[@evansmith9514]

Didn't expect to see Damien on here! Hell yes

[@billyblenx]

Leaving Sea of Lies out in place for Domination is.... definitely a choice.

[@wvpneto]

Sick video. Except that Peace Sells is played by David Ellefson, not Dave Mustaine as shown in the description.

[@BobBob-ro3fd]

The bass intro for Peace Sells was written by Mustaine.

[@wvpneto]

True. But I thought he was referring to who executed the riff, not who wrote it.

[@BobBob-ro3fd]

@@wvpneto yeah, all of the bass line were written by the bassist except for Peace sells so it might cause some weird misunderstanding.

[@doktorpaver5470]

@@BobBob-ro3fd explain how the first song is a Joe Jackson cover song yet the credit is given to Frank Bello?

[@BobBob-ro3fd]

@@doktorpaver5470 uhhhh, the explanation for that could be the creator is a dum dum and make mistakes?

[@armydilo13]

That iced earth one was wild

[@maxdurk4624]

Iced Earth are an extremely underrated band. Listen to Alive In Athens to see what I mean.

[@Necro-s]

All hail Steve Di Giorgio. One of the greatest AND most underrated metal bassists Also a memeber of Death, Testament and much more

[@maxdurk4624]

@ Steve and Alex Webster are the Cliff Burton and Steve Harris of the death metal world.

How is Spirit Crusher by Death not on here?

[@still-standingrunner810]

I always thought the intro to Damage, Inc. was done by Kirk and James

[@faamecanic1970]

Much like most feel Orion was done by Kirk or James. NOPE that was all Cliff (except for the ending where the guitar comes in).

[@ScarFace5566]

Guns N’ Roses - ‘Right Next Door to Hell’ was a badass Bass riff to open UYI

Great selection. I am missing Guyana from Manowar - really an amazing Bass Intro as the whole album (imho the best they ever did) is full of great bass guitar.

[@Barbarian75]

The whole song is practically Bass, Drum and Vocal for 3 and a half minute. Awesome.

Or any bass intro by DD Verni of Overkill, from "Overkill II - The Nightmare Continues", "Horrorscope", "Burn You Down/To Ashes", "Half Past Dead", "Stoned Cold Jesus" or "Devil By The Tail" and so on.
