We've had the mad/technical stuff. But what is your favourite SLOOOOW song/piece?

[xgsjx]

I think it should be John Cage whom plays it in it's entirity.

[Blademan_98]

Anything by Leonard Cohen, especially Hallelujah (but I am a big fan).

Also for simple bass lines you can't beat The Monkees!

Lots of Bob Dylan songs too.

Any slow blues will also do it for me!

[retroman]

Probably one of the slowest, fatest grooves ever

DOOOOOOOOOOOOM

[soopercrip]

+1 for Barbers addagio Bilbo, always makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Sad yet serene.

Funeralopolis by Electric Wizard is the first one that jumps to mind, Eyes Of The South by Down too

[Oopsdabassist]

Slow blues..oh yes..

Gary Moore..Midnight Blues

Dark, smokey, soulful.......1st time we performed this was the day he died, very special to me.

[DaveFry]

At the moment its Nessun Dorma



- No, by Jeff Beck . Its on YouTube , but the live versions don't seem to have Tasty Tal .....

[retroman]

Minimalist melancholy......Pretty much bass and vocals only

Slow one by Motorhead, with a rather tasteful bass solo......Well, slow by Motorhead standards anyway!

[Ian Savage]

Top of my head:
Tom Waits - The Ghosts of Saturday Night (and The House Where Nobody Lives, little bass on that though)
Ani DiFranco - Dilate, Self-Evident
The Hold Steady - Lord, I'm Discouraged
Ian Siegal - Mortal Coil Shuffle
John Lee Hooker - This Land Is Nobody's Land
SRV - Dirty Pool

There's bound to be loads more than that (plenty of old acoustic blues that's well sub-80bpm in the collection, but can't be doing with going through it all...)

[Nibody]

I'll chuck in "Need Your Love So Bad" - Peter Green and "What is and what should never be" Led Zep

[Guest McBass]

Willie Weeks.

[Oopsdabassist]

Wow, Celebrate...GOOD choice, forgot about this one.

[risingson]

Great choice on the Donnie Hathaway tune.

Slow songs? This springs to mind, don't know why. It's one of my all time favourite Radiohead tunes.

[Lfalex v1.1]

"Black Sabbath"
(Yes, I know it speeds up eventually)

[stef030]

[i]it bites-you will never get to heaven[/i]

[12stringbassist]

Joe Jackson - A slow song.
Beautiful.

[retroman]

Black Sabbath's "Who Are You" covered by Goatsnake. Uber slow and dropped tuned. Love Greg Anderson's guitar tone

[ezbass]

Because We've Ended As Lovers - Jeff Beck (the original Blow By Blow version)
Don't Give Up -Peter Gabriel
Bridge Over Troubled Water -S&G
A Welsh male voice choir singing pretty much anything
The scores from Dances With Wolves and OHMSS by John Barry

[pnefc42]

Stanley Clarke "Together Again" - epically melodic!

Queen "In Only Seven Days" - a beautiful JD song from the 'Jazz' album (some other great slow stuff on that album too
including 'Dreamers Ball' & 'Jealousy')

Level 42 "Leaving Me Now" - one of MKs most tasteful recorded lines IMO

Cheers
Dave

[Shaggy]

Michael Manring's fast slappy tappy stuff is technically amazing but doesn't really interest me. This however is a beautiful piece of music, as well as being innovative and just a pleasure to watch
