July 8, 200817 yr Author There was until Glen Matlock was kicked out! Badum-tish! but he was replaced by sid vicious .... :mellow:
July 8, 200817 yr whats 9th wonder? Hip Hop c**p.... like Jay Z and $h!t. but he was replaced by sid vicious .... :mellow: It's a joke, Sid couldn't play that well and knew f*** all about music (as in reading it) unlike Matlock
July 8, 200817 yr Author Hip Hop c**p.... like Jay Z and $h!t. It's a joke, Sid couldn't play that well and knew f*** all about music (as in reading it) unlike Matlock but you didnt have to play well to be a punk musician... that was the point.
July 8, 200817 yr but you didnt have to play well to be a punk musician... that was the point. but thats why it was a joke..... hence why Richie put 'Badum-tish!'
July 9, 200817 yr Hip Hop c**p.... like Jay Z and $h!t. are you suggesting all Hip Hop is c**p or just that type of Hip Hop?
July 9, 200817 yr but you didnt have to play well to be a punk musician... that was the point. Sid, bless him, was particularly inept though mate.... :lol: He was chosen as Matlock's replacement mainly because he "looked" the part, was a bit of Punk 'pretty boy'.... :P :lol: The rest of the band were capable enough to be able to cover for the fact that he just couldn't play.... The best Sid moment has to be at that bad tempered gig in the States where Sid takes off his bass and starts battering random audience members over the head with it.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
July 9, 200817 yr when I saw the title of this thread the first song that came to mind was Public Image but that has been mentioned already... Bullet In The Head / Killing In The Name Of - Rage Against The Machine Le Freak - Chic Spacer - Sheila B Devotion (a Chic production) Good Times - Chic / Rappers Delight - Sugarhill Gang / Another One Bites The Dust - Queen All Right Now - Free (simple, but effective bassline) Bassline - Mantronix White Lines - Grandmaster Flash Fight The Power - Public Enemy Billie Jean - Michael Jackson The Chain - Fleetwood Mac Death Disco - Public Image Limited - in fact just about every track on the first two albums with Wobble's excellent basslines Keep On Running - Spencer Davis Group Ace Of Spades - Motorhead (especially the intro) Fools Gold - Stone Roses

Le Freak was the one that jumped into my head when I saw "bass line" as the topic...!
January 1, 20205 yr There seems to have been a lot of early and mid 80s dance tracks with great futuristic (at the time) electronic basslines - Paul Hardcastle 19, Afrika Bambaataa - Planet Rock, the Rene and Angela and Yarborough and Peoples ones I mentioned already and Shannon - Give Me Tonight and some of the Depeche Mode tracks too. Alexander O'Neal - Criticize later in the decade has a good one too. And then there was the weird new wave/new romantic basslines like in Gary Numan - Music For Chameleons.

January 16, 20205 yr yes, some classics in that list! Le Freak was the one that jumped into my head when I saw "bass line" as the topic...! Same here! Another One Bites The Dust Billie Jean Spacer. Edited January 16, 20205 yr by Crazy Chris
February 6, 20205 yr How has no one mentioned 'Got To Have Your Love' by Mantronix in this thread yet? Easily one of the best known basslines ever. Also 'Dub Be Good To Me' by Beats International - although that just samples the bassline from a Clash song (I forget which one now).
