Tait Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I've been listening to a bit of Rage Against the Machine, and I fancy learning some of their basslines. But I don't know their stuff well so I don't really know which are their best songs to play on bass. So, what are your favourite songs to play by Rage Against the Machine? By the way I already know bombtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odub Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Killing int he name of is pretty easy I'm working my way through RATM tab book now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Take the Power Back? Good slap line. Come like a Bomb has a great melodic intro. Know your Enemy is a great rock line. There are loads of funky lines on the Battle For Los Angeles album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 I've only got the album with the monk on fire on the front, btw, and as I said, I'm not really into them much, just quite liked a couple of basslines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyC Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Bombtrack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDDF Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Freedom is nice too, simple to play but it sounds great. All the others named are ace though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 We have to tune to drop D a couple of times in our set so I usually thump out 2-3 of bars of Killing In The Name before we get going which usually gets a few nods from the crowd. Township Rebellion is a classic riff too but yeah +1 to learn 'em all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theosd Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Bullet in the head is [i]great[/i] for building up finger strength and is good fun. My hand still aches now if I play that build up all the way through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalmaniac Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Just learn the first album.. I did, and it was a great learning curve.. especially as I hate tabs and what-not so worked it out by ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
