Queen Songs With the Coolest Bass
Bass lines, solos...Anything.John Deacon is the shy one of the group but still did great on the bass-- better than most. Here is a list of his best "Shining moments", if you will. There is a lot of songs from Hot Space because this is the album where Deacy is really noticed. KYO!
The line in this song is Great, and of course, it makes the song what it is. It was amazing and one of the most memorable.
It stopped Freddie and Roger from fighting.
This one shouts out to me just a bit more than Another One Bites The Dust. Very interesting, and of course written by himself!
This song is very different without the bass, it basically makes the song, it's really groovy and still keeps the beat amazingly, I'd say it's one of the greatest basslines to be honest, John Deacon is a very criminally underrated musician, he could play super complex things while sticking to the core of the song and he knew what was good for certain songs, especially here, incredible bass line, I can listen to just the bassline and still think its an amazing song!
Really stands out for me. Great, catchy, keeps the groove, and just makes you wanna get up and dance!
One of my favorite basslines ever. I really love not only this bassline but John Deacons whole bass technique
John Deacons masterpiece.
So AWESOME. I just love the way he plays, and he dances in the music video! Love our Deacy!
I love the guitar in this.
Very upbeat and enjoyable -- that's what makes it great.
Top 5 for me, with another one bites the dust, under pressure, breakthru and I want to break free
Fun to play, catchy! Great bass riff to practice and a joy to hear!
One of the most obsessive bassline I've ever heard, one of my favorites
This should easily be in top 10!
It's small, but it's still as great as any Brian May solo. Short sweet and nice. You have to love it!
Yo its mad lit. Listen to it.
It's nice, very neat, easy to understand... What more can you want?
One of his grooviest, easy and fun to learn (even though I don't play bass, I would like to. ) Nice and smooth.
Absurd lyrics, this song is about sex, but, that bass, man!
Very recognizable. See what he's got! Is it real, is it real?
One of my favorites
Has a lot of suspension, I love it,
This song definitely has to get a vote for its bassline. The bassline blends perfectly with the rhythm and gives it the feeling of the fast tempo, and the fast eighth notes are a joy to hear.
This song has no bass.
During the Magic tour, when they play One Vision at Wembley, the most know concert other than Live Aid, you can see Brian May and Deacy have a guitar show off contest... Sort of. Deacy is doing this sick (in a good way) thing on his bass that can't be replicated in anyway. Don't worry; you'll see.
And now the crescendo, as V said. (V for Vendetta. ) Deacy and Roger started it and then the piano came in. Deacy did great in this song as well as all the others.
Amazing song, rocks peoples hearts out.
