Best/Favourite bass intro

[white shoe]

Well as the title says. It can be from any metal band. :Spin:

 

[Leper_/-\ffinity]

Tool has lots of cool ones. ALso, I love many of Rush's bass intros like Ghost Rider, and Dont touch that thing.

 

[Gin_from_the_bottle]

kalmah have sweet bass intros.
so does RATM and nirvana

 

[Prowler121]

It's simple as hell but I like Wrathchild's intro. Another simple but cool intro is N.I.B.s by Sabbath.

Other than those I like Tool's bass intros.

 

[white shoe]

Oh yeah the Wrathchild is awsome and the one I also like is from My dying bride - a kiss to remember for some reason I love that one.

 

[Nico]

Psycroptic - Psycroptipath

groovy as hell

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

My Dying Bride's Apocalypse Woman...now that is gr00vy. Or maybe it's just catchy.
Anesthesia is obviously a nice little intro into Whiplash.

 

[NGC 3370]

How about out of the metal genre because I would have to say anything from Victor Wooten would be the best intros. This guy is insane with how he plays on the bass.

 

[SP00N]

Vintersorg - E.S.P. Mirage

That bass intro just plain owns.

i suggest symphony x "sea of lies" which has a very skilled bass intro by Thomas Miller who i believe was in his 50s / 60s when he played it. also nevermore "garden of gray" which starts out with a cool militant style sliding lic, its not that hard to do but it sounds cool.

 

[Colonial Boy]

Pain Of Salvation-People Passing By

 

[MightyA]

Pain Of Salvation-People Passing By

It's played with guitar.

 

[Katabasis]

Black Sabbath - N.I.B.

 

[Leper_/-\ffinity]

Pain Of Salvation-People Passing By

Damn, how could I forget that one!!! O, and it's not just played with guitar, bass is playing it too, I have a live video of it.

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

True that the bass comes in later, but the intro is played with guitar, so you lose.

 

[The Evil Toucan]

I got a vid where the intro to Number of the Beast is played by Steve Harris, i'm not sure if it's normally played that way. Domination by Pantera off the Official Live 101 Proof album is another good one.

 

[Don Corleone]

skunk anansie - "it takes blood and guts to be this cool, but i'm still just a cliché"
death - "spiritcrusher"
muse - "hysteria"

what the f*ck thats all i can come up with at the moment. but i deffo second the ones you guys mentioned

Damn, well, do I kind of win??? Btw, Entropia rules.

 

[StillLife]

Warheart by Children of Bodom is a good one...not really hard, but fast and just kicks you in the balls and takes you into the song
vintersorg, e.s.p. mirage is good
this is for metal only though
and uhm...there are lots of good ones

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Indeed it does /-\ffinity. Might have to listen to it now...think I've listened to Anselmo's drunken singing enough for now.
