classic rock bass

[Swannie]

I'm trying to find some good classic songs that have bass in them that aren't just normal, too repetitive bass lines. Any suggestions?

[kaos572]

i dont know much bout classic rock but a good song for a bass line is 21st century schizoid man by king crimson. very good song, and rockish i dont think itd be classic rock though. proggresive 70s rock i think

[PayTheDues]

Amen to the King Crimson song.

Don't need to look far for a bass line in classic rock : the My Generation bass lead part.

[TheLlamaMan]

I agree with 21st Century Schizoid Man.. As well as My Generation.

Generally speaking, I find that if you're looking for a more active bass part you're better off avoiding the cliched songs.

What about Roundabout by Yes? Chris Squire is an amazing bassist.

The Who.

[futurejp]

Anything by Yes. Heart Of The Sunrise and Long Distance Runaround/The Fish from their album Fragile are great examples.

The Who.

Yes. John Entwistle wasn't much for the "boring repetitive" bass-lines. Listen to "The Real Me", "My Generation", "Won't Get Fooled Again", etc.

and Magic Bus :P:




The Lemon Song was apparantly all improvised by John Paul Jones, it doesn't repeat itself anyway.
