THE BEST METAL BASS INTROS OF ALL TIME + TABS 

No dejo de escuchar la de simphony x 🔥🔥👏🏼🤘🏼

Correct

Omnidirectional? But point only in one direction...

@@ktulu2178 that's why you spin it, man. Shut up.

Please tell me what bass this is so I can find it and buy it.

I can't unsee it now

Several are wrong. Especially the tool songs.

while not disagreeing I do challenge you to a dual (not duel < dual - trying to be punny) Wrathchild and Peace Sells. The first bass line that went through my head was peace sells when reading the name of the video - when watching and it played my brain was satisfied but was wondering where Maiden was. Didn't like the first Maiden choice and wrathchild stared playing in my head and then not much later on my screen. Two of my all time faves - but with Mudvayne being my favorite band of all time hard to go against Dig.

You forgot disgore deranged epidemic

I enjoy a warmer tone

Not listened to them for a while actually but definitely one of my favourite bands, along with Arch Enemy and Opeth they got me into melodic death metal. The Gallery was a fantastic album and Lethe one of my favourite songs from it. Theres an old live video of them (can watch on RU-vid) where they play it with so much emotion. A lot of Opeth songs have some awesome basslines too - it may not be a metal album but Damnation sounds great and the bass tone is lovely. Just feels so good when it kicks in on Hope Leaves. I'm a long-time drummer and been trying to learn guitar for the last year or so but I have absolutely no experience with bass. But watching guys like Dann, Davie504 and Charles Berthoud does inspire me to give it a go sometime. Slap bass looks really hard though!

@@dreammachine86 Opeth aren't, and never have been, a melodic death metal band. I hate this revisionist history that modern fans keep on applying to Opeth's older music, and it needs to stop. Having melody in your death metal doesn't automatically make you a melodeath band. They were a progressive death metal band, even on the fringes of prog black metal on their first 2 albums, before just becoming a prog rock band. The melody in melodic death metal strictly comes from NWOBHM, whereas Opeth's melody came from a whole host of different genres and influences, but largely from prog rock. There's a significant difference between Opeth's music and that of Dark Tranquility, At the Gates, Carcass, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, or The Black Dahlia Murder, who all have fairly distinct sounds, but their melody all comes from one place.

​@@metalswifty23 Yes looking back at my comment I would agree, Opeth are a prog metal or a prog rock band. Not intentionally trying to be 'revisionist' though, maybe some people are, but it was just easier to say melodeath to group them in with other bands that got me into heavier forms of metal but still had an 'accessible' melody to their music. I'm guessing the melody you refer to from the NWOBHM is the Aeolian mode/natural minor. Although some bands take it darker with the harmonic minor - Punish my Heaven by Dark Tranquility is one of my favourites. Opeth have so many different inspirations for melodies and rhythms, many that I would have no reference for. Especially their latest prog rock stuff as I haven't listened to much of the classic prog rock that seems to be one of Mikael's current inspirations. The lead melody at the start of Serenity Painted Death always sounded very exotic and unusual - in a nice way - to me, like it had the uplifting sound of a major scale but the mysteriousness of a minor scale. When I started getting into guitar I looked up the tab and realised its actually a major lick played into a minor lick in the same position - making an interesting group of 3 chromatic notes in the overall lead line. And that's just one little melody in one of their many songs, some of which are very long!

One of the funnest riffs to play imo

It isn't that wonderful at all. Muse is annoying.

@@josephwalton487 you're mum is

Totally agree!

Muse sucks

Yep Peace Sells was the one I was waiting for.

First bassline I learned was the peace Sells intro It's not easy but I had been a rythm guitarist for a few years before then(its still my primary instrument)

Wow thanks for suggesting man 🤘

Yeah NIB, specifically the Les Claypool version (Track 7 from the Nativity In Black 2 tribute album) which has been apparently scrubbed from RU-vid so hard I feel gaslighted.

Dragonfly - Angeles con una sola ala Both the Intro and the pre-chorus bridge are bass masterpieces.

I love the Primus version of NIB so much. Any time i play that song, i always end up going in that direction with it. I can't help it.

Dio welcome to my nightmare????

I was looking for that too.

I second that!

Well Paul wrote Sober.

he uses a pick.

​@@sabin97and what?

@@MrJetDevil if you need to have that explained, you probably wont understand anyway.

@@sabin97pick on bass is valid

I loved that cover.

@@flightofthebumblebee9529 It's a brilliant cover

I thought it was "God that Failed". Definitely knew it was a song from Black Album.

It’s true ..

Too bad everything else they do is shit.

@@therusstren ur opinion

Tool isn't metal.

@@therusstren imagine saying a band that has millions of followers is rubbish

Thanks! Credit for Overload Guitars guys!

@@DannArisi are you using a preset sound on parallax or a custom?

Yeah I hear it I see it

U can do it on a 4 string without any problem...

@@pabloo2018 yep i don’t know why he play it with a 6string

@@feloxxolef9891 probably because it has both a higher and a lower string added, not just 2 lower.

@@pabloo2018 how? You'd have to tune up 5 whole steps

And don't forget about Mr. Jack by SOAD

I came here to say that.. Souls of Black is top 5

Thank you! That was the first song that came to my mind when I saw the title and was disappointed to see it wasn't included.

let's hear it for Greg Christian, THE Soul of Black!

Not just that, but also Trial By Fire!

Of course. By the best line up in the universe

@@albertoboccali74371982 lineup is the best.

I was waiting as well. I was sitting here, "c'mon man, you have to...". Almost gave up. 😅

bass*

@@yagoovirus2751 bass is a guitar lol. Also hey! Fellow Hololive watcher!

And there were TWO well-deserved SyX tracks. First band I ever saw live.

There is also the live solo

Savia is a marvelous song! ❤️

I admit nothing

That's great fun to play, I sometimes use it as an exercise when I haven't played for a while

I can't fking play it with a pick, I'm left handed but play right, so my arm is weak af

@@nanomachines9872 I hope that my following comment comes across in the helpful and supportive way I'm intending it to. All too often, the written word lacks vocal inflections and so on and sometimes the best will in the world can be misread especially if two people aren't speaking their first languages. Please, I mean to be only supportive as a fellow player here. I suffered pretty severe spinal cord injuries in my upper and lower back, the upper being more of a problem to my playing than the lower. I used to play mainly fingerstyle but when I was injured I wasn't able to use my ring and little fingers in my right hand, my little finger was severely weakened/nearly unusable in the left and I was getting severe neuro pain in both hands. Once I had corrective surgery I started to slowly practice with a pick on a guitar first. Just alternate picking exercises building up strength and agility again and then I started back on bass. Fingerstyle with all 4 fingers was unfortunately a bit too far due to the nerve damage but my first 2 fingers work and my ring finger is mostly there after months of practice. Same with the left hand. I still get pain and I set up my basses very low but I can play again. My friend, I'm telling you that if you want something really so much, I mean that burning obsession sort of want where whenever you have a moment free, you grab an instrument and practice, the ability will come and if you have a problem that stops you, you (we) have the mind to develop a way to overcome this hurdle. Music needs us. We all have a part to play in this story my friend and one thing that has always been my drive as a musician and has been my guide is "inspiration". We all look for inspiration. It's in our blood, our DNA, our souls as musicians as artists. Equally, when we see another musician that we can help, we must inspire them and I hope that by me telling you about what I've done it inspires you. As I said initially, my intention is to help and what I aim to avoid is what too often happens that these things end up as a pissing contest as to who had the worst/best story. I mean nothing of the sort. I only want good to come of what happened to me, please, go get your bass or guitar right now and just start practicing. Listen closely, break it down and improve. Be inspired, my friend and take care.

@@restojon1 this has got to be the longest reply I have ever had(not that I'm complaining) but still, thank you for the inspiration, although I can't reply to something as long as that

Animals as Leaders - Physical Education. Absolutely the funkiest bass line in a metal song I've heard.

@@MaddDogg316 except thats a guitar not a bass

Souls of Black?

Thanks a lot! Yes I tried also with pick, but I'm more familiar with finger picking 🤘😁

almost. The second last hit of the Schism intro is a perfect fourth, not a fifth.

Did you mean “without a pick”? He wasn’t using a pick on peace sells.

@@tjc6901 yeah I meant to write without not with

“Pneuma” by Tool is from 2019

@@giacomosannino8840 “Absolomb” is very recent too!

Technical doesn't equal good

That was my first thought too. Better choice than some in the video, IMHO. Also Soulitude from Overkill, if I'm not mistaken

@@oliviermtd old school boi here huh? like it!

@@hazardeur lol. I'm turning 49 in a couple of months. Not that old... But not too fresh anymore either :-)

More importantly: not a single Motörhead song. That’s blasphemy.

@@oliviermtd Overkill has a number of tracks with excellent bass intros/solos

Anything Steve Harris does really, and They just released new CD hehe "UP The IRONS"

I mean, there is a reason there are so many "Bass and vocals only" clips of Mudvayne.

​@@CrackBabyZachesRyan is a beast

I was expecting it too

I wish Testament could get some love, too. I love the bass intro to "Urotsukidoji".

Early Dark Tranquillity has some of the best bass work in metal! They treat it more like a melodic instrument along with the guitars than just a rhythm instrument to add low end. A great example would be Alone, which essentially has 3 lead guitars, but one of them is the bass.

Thanks man, I'd love to! 🙏

Mustaine when he sees you playing Metallica: 😡 When he sees you playing "Peace Sells" 😆👍

dark tranquillity even covered my friend of misery.

It's not an intro

I was hoping so much for Warheart to appear in the video

I don't know it, by who?

@@DannArisi Ozzy

Thanks a lot brother 🖤

By Ghost?? They're the whole reason I'm learning bass, but I can't find anyone playing their music.

@@l-i-l-l-y6462 Check Ghoul Uisce, he has the best ghost tabs you´ll find

That's an Achilles by Overload Guitars 🔥

Cause this is a METAL bass compilation! Not funk!
