I swear hoppus cocks up in the second run through of that riff and scuffs a note, useless bass player imho[/quote]

If you're referring to Hysteria, that line is played by Wolstenholme on his Bass through a plethora of Fuzz, Synth, Octave etc.

And you're right about Hoppus. But I've never really regarded him as a particularly amazing player so it doesn't suprise me in the least. But I guess their music was never really about perfection so perhaps it doesn't matter that much.

Quality song choice here, I had completely forgotten about this but it is truly a gem. Still haven't seen EITS live, but I really want to. If it weren't for exams I would have seen them this month in Manchester.

Hysteria was pretty much played through just a muff and a Deep impact (only the one, unlike time is running out (another bass intro!) which uses 2 at the same time)

Did you know! Apart from the intro most of hysteria was played by Matt Bellamy with a pick for the bass? random fact haha

Mr. Big - Addicted to that rush espeically live! Wicked intro!

And speical mention to Dood with Real - I want the world :lol:

Nuclear Rabbit - Truth's Ugly head simple but great! Amazing bass playing on that track!

Though yes i'd say Hysteria is possibly the best rock (just rock) intro for bass!

For metal, i'd give Dream Theater - Panic Attack a shout, with Orion and for whom the bell tolls :)

also come to mind, Stranglers - Peaches and Pink Floyd - Money more for iconic-ness :)

I thought Wolstenholme said in his BGM interview that the into was bellamy playing it?
