Cool bass lines

[cdwillis]

Glenn Hughes played some cool lines on Deep Purple's Burn.

I like the bass lines on Van Halen's Fair Warning too, even though I've heard rumor the EVH played them in the studio not Michael Anthony. When Push Comes To Shove is a good one.
Gotta give props to Rick James too. Give It To Me Baby has great groove goin' on.

Man, this section is slow moving. Let's get it a little attention. I was out working in the garage the other day, and heard some cool bass lines in some songs, so I thought I'd list a couple of my favorites, and then some other people could post some, and we could get this section of the board moving, again. Here they are:

Alice Cooper, Schools out
A Perfect Circle, Judith
Iron Maiden, The Trooper

Go ahead, don't be shy, list a couple.

Nice! I had to figure out Eighteen by Alice Cooper to jam with some people. I had trouble figuring some stuff out until I figured out the bassist was using a fretless. Of course I know AC, but I know nothing about his band...did he have the same bassist throughout his career? Was he known for using a fretless?

"I heard Boston "Don't look back" recently and forgot how good that dude was.

That would be Tom Sholz and *not* the guy who got bass player credits on the 1st album.

original Alice Cooper Band's main bass player was Dennis Dunaway who had a jazz backround

Alice went solo with Welcome To My Nightmare where the allmighty Tony Levin played the bass

Ed played some easy shit, like Unchained probably.
When Push Comes To Shove has a great bassline wich is definetly played by a real bassist (Mike) not a guitarist (Ed)
