Which is your favorite bassline? Mine is the one in "Pharaoh". I love the way it starts and then changes midway thru the first verse.
Favorite bassline?
- Thread starter Slaydon
- Start date
I love these:
The one with the piano jazz solo in Awakenings.
The one that starts at 4:16 in Egypt.
The one from 6:44 until 7:40 in 'A Lesson Before Dying'.
As you would notice, the above three are almost the same kinda thing.
But if I had to pick one, I'd say the one that starts at 4:10 in Domination. It's pretty awesome!

Nice topic!
* The dissonant section in Domination, as well as (of course) the intro.
* The main groove in Communion and the Oracle.
* The bassline about halfway through Rediscovery Pt. II.
* Serpent's Kiss verse.
* Walls of Babylon, just after 3:00.
* Paradise Lost (right when the bass first enters).
* The Accolade (the crazy polyrhythmic section near the end).
* Divine Wings of Tragedy (the whole song).
* The Odyssey (in Scylla and Charybdis)
* Through the Looking Glass (right before the solos near the end of the song).
Plus MANY more that I won't name right now!

I'd have to say that that one's my favorite over all.
Some other ones that are really just licks that I really like are
the one in Fallen just after 1:00
the one in In The Dragon's Den at 2:34
the one in Seven at 4:27
the line in communion and the oracle with the slides

I've been listening to PL a lot lately, so I'll mention some great bass parts from it (in addition to what I mentioned above).
* What Lepond plays in Serpent's Kiss when Romeo plays the harmonics (just before the final chorus).
* The fill in Eve of Seduction right before the first verse begins.
* At about 2:06 in Walls of Babylon when the bass plays an ascending line under Romeo's sliding octave chords.
* The bass solo in Seven, obviously. Looking back, I was kind of bummed that The Odyssey never had a bass solo anywhere on it (save for Frontiers, of course).
* In Revelation, the lines played in the clean section near the end of the song.

There's a little bass run at about 1:37 in Accolade II that kind of stands out. Also Awakenings had many cool bass lines! Especially the one in the beginning and the jazzy part

Yep, that's a cool run in Accolade II... [Useless trivia: it sounds tapped due to its fluidity, but it's not]. Also, Awakenings is a bass beast. It's a shame they've never played the intro live; the bass solo is amazing.
The Odyssey album in general had some great bass playing (particularly the epic songs), but unfortunately the bass was quite buried in the mix. I wish The Odyssey had PL's bass tone!
Yeah, thats true...often I was thinking "What happened to Lepond?". He was more prominent in V. Although that mix didn't quite do justice to his bass sound.

I remember hearing an interview with Lepond where he said his bass sound was better on the live album than on V or Odyssey. He said the next album (PL) would have awesome bass sound. Guess he was right.

Disagreed. It's nothing horribly complex, but special? Fuck yes it is. One of the most immediately recognizable basslines in metal. Phenomenal.
I mean, I hate to play into Zach's thread hijacking... but Whaddya mean you don't like that bassline?
