Members Renfield Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 Anything by RATM. The groove is infectious. Awesome. I use the main lick in Know Your Enemy as a warm up. I start slow and build in speed into crazyness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t3ch Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 Anything by RATM. The groove is infectious. Yup.

Members PaulyWally Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 Right now... Probably Drugstore Rock and Roll by Janis Martin. Maybe I Wish by Stevie Wonder also (but we don't play that in the band). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Captain Fathead Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 Yup. If you look at my last.fm, lots of cool rage songs are in my top 10 cause that's what I started playing bass on and still go back to pretty frequently to jam along to I played in an RATM cover band my senior year of college. Great experience. The only song that I really disliked was Guerilla Radio. Other than that, everything's a blast to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dDigitalPimp Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 moondance is another song my band covers that i really enjoy playing as well. i should spend some more time doing some improv on the main riff but i play it pretty straight up except for when our guitarist plays a solo where the sax solo goes.

Members guitargod0dmw Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 Other than my own stuff? Holy Wars. It's fast and technical. I especially like playing the verses...

Members Super Bass Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 planet earth .great song. never played it though .do you use a pick for it? No, just my fingers. It needs a lot of stamina but sounds much better with fingers IMO. I love the breakdown part where the bass comes in on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funkee1 Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 In my old band, it was "If you want me to stay" by Sly and the family Stone In my new band, it's "Georgy Porgy" by Toto. In General, it's "Maputo" by David Sanborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catphish Posted April 9, 2008 Members Share Posted April 9, 2008 Of our own stuff it's a new tune called "William Shattner's Character in 'Airplane II: the Sequel (at the Space Station)" My favorite cover to play is currently Limelight-Rush. I don't really have many to choose from and we just learned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the breakdown part where the bass comes in on its own. its one of those songs the sceptics say john never recorded. because he plays it live with a pic. i am not a sceptic btw . rio is a fun one . and while we are on that era "its my life"- talk talk is cool to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
