Songs With the Best Bass Performances
Les Claypool is arguably one of the best bassists of all time, and I think his unique style shows the best and is performed the greatest in JWRD. The song starts out with a heavy bass riff that stays strong for the entire song.
I'm really not a huge fan of Geddy Lee. His vocals are annoying and his keyboard playing is only above average. But his bass riffs pretty much make me forgive his vocals. He has a classic rock style that classic rock fans adore.
Say what you want about the Peppers, but you can't deny that their bass oriented rock is great.
Lemmy was a great bassist, and "Ace of Spades" was just one of his greatest songs. I was going to put "Overkill" in this slot, but the popularity and dominance of the bass lines in this song are one of a kind, and are as tough as Lemmy himself.
Possibly McCartney's best bass performance ever, it's soft but out-going at the same time.
It includes a bass solo. A very pleasant song.
Flea plays like a boss here.
Insane bass solo (shredding)
