Not bad, not bad. Very entertaining.
Say hi to me
Did you even watch the entire video
hi watchmojo whats up
Now replace the red songs with the honorable mentions or get SLAPPED!
🖕
Hell the bass line in Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" is also a great one that is always overlooked.
Nick Beggs....check him out with Howard Jones on 'Too Shy' and watch with amazement at his complex finger work
agreed!
100%
Watching you has made my air bass technique so much better! I've learned Another one Bites today.
You're a legend Davie!
Number 4 Bass Line: Beat It
**Starts playing Billie Jean**
😂😂 ikr I thought I was losing it for a second
@@colinstevens2462 me too🤣🤣
Thank gosh I wasn't the only one who noticed it
Билли джин насрал в кувшин
He played it wrong too - missed the octaves.
"Just because there is a bass line in a great song doesn’t mean that the bass line is a great bass line"
- Davie 504 -
q. e. d.
Wise words...
The bassline of How Many More Times is better
Watchmojo putting "Dazed and Confused" on their top 10 basslines list made Led Zeppelin (especially John Paul Jones) look a bit like stupid musicians but they actually weren't. There are so many better basslines John Paul Jones had written such as "Ramble On" and "How Many More Times"...
@@wakemeupbeforeyoupogo Exactly, the bassline from Ramble On is one of the best basslines
Chris Wolstenholme live playing Hysteria is just something else, so clean.
Easily in my top 3 basslines of all time. I've heard it live 3 times now (2nd Law, Drones, Will of the People) and dear god it's mind blowing!
I'm not a bassist myself and I have no idea how I came across this channel. But I am loving you Dave, whatever the f.... is going on in your head makes me laugh to tears. These vids are super cool. Slap the sh...:) Bless you man!
Davie just checks how many people cannot distinguish "Master of Puppets" from "Enter Sandman" :)
Lol I was confused until I saw this comment lol
He does the same thing with Beat It, plays Billie Jean, and other videos he's done the same lol.
Thought the same thing
Also RCHP instead of RHCP lol
I’m starting to believe he’s got dyslexia or something.
Petition for Davie to restore the Roman Empire if he gets 60 million subs
I'm in
Me to
pp reveal at 50 million subs
70 million subs laugh reveal.
@@knighthavok4161 wait. That's illegal
For me, one of the best bass lines is from Stevie Wonder's 'Sir Duke' It's epic as it just carries the whole song from start to finish. Not many out there that sound quite like this one.
Gotta add I Wish to the list.
Oh man... so many basslines *make* the song, and you pointed out one that a lot of folks just miss. Excellent selection. Now I have to go on a Stevie Wonder kick. Thanks. I thought I was gonna sleep tonight, but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... gonna stay up all night spinning my vinyl.
Might as well add Verdeen White if you're going to get into that realm.
I love watching his videos. Fantastic bass-player and great-style. Approved !!! 🤣👍
I'm pretty sure Davie didn't get a single copyright claim because Davie owns all the basslines of all times.
So cool
Correct.
Checkmate!
Damn right he does
It could also be because he only played the bass line for a short time
R.I.P cliff Burton. He was a really good bass player
I rlly don't know how orion could be a bad pick?!?? Like... how...? Fwtbt and Orion are some of Metallica's best bass masterpieces and he...
Everyone has a different taste , don't hate him
Maby even the best
@@fedor5664 The bass solo in Orion is a masterpiece. Thats why the song is so famous.
Yes he is
I find this video not only extremely musically Brilliant, and your choices and comments awesome. Your deadpan face, sarcasm, wit, and great video editing make this video hilarious, original, and really entertaining. Many thanks.
I've got paint drying today. You''d jizz your pants.
I didn't know I needed this in my life, but YES! Thank you!
Davie: “Number 4: Beat It.”
Also Davie: *plays Billie Jean*
I'm glad that I found this comment so quickly. I honestly can't tell if Davie is trolling or not.
Or when he played Master of Puppets and called it "Enter Sandman"
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSLAP!!!!!
Yes, Billie Jean 👍
and played master of puppets insted of enter sandman
“Enter sandman”
*plays master of puppets*
Thats really sad actually that davie doesnt like metallica
Plays Billie Jean and calls it Beat It
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
They should've put My Friend Of Misery in for Metallica
@@tuckoma_xl you can't include Metallica and put a track without a Cliff Burton bass line. Anasthesia was a better choice though
Superb analysis. Love the dry delivery. {subscribe}
Besides your great bass playing - you are first rate funny. Thanks for this vid!
Don't forget, Geddy didn't only play the bassline for YYZ, but also the synth.
I mean that’s true for basically all of Rush’s stuff. They’re a 3 piece band that sounds like a 5
At the same time...
@@calebnation7797 At *least* five sometimes. I'm still not sure there aren't Two Neils.
Mark king & geddy lee is the best ever
@@calebnation7797 not to mention he is the singer as well for Rush

Davie: playing master of puppets
Text: *Enter Sandman*
oH NOOOUUU Oh NOUUUUU!
Davie: playing Billy Jean
Text: Beat it
I saw that too!
I think he was playing Billy Jean when it said Beat It too.
Of course I had to go back and check these, and so it gives the video more views. Ingenius!
I know it's a simple line, but ... Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" always comes to mind for a solid bass line, and solo.
Because of that line I decided to buy a bass and now I'm learned to play.
The chain is simple and iconic, the end gets slightly harder but is petty basic and repetitive yeah
Love that bass line so underrated
Agree. Even though there's barely any bass in it and it mostly just follows the progression, but it's on more than on point. Every single track on "The Chain" could top the top 10 lists in their respective categories. Simply amazing
Oh yeah!!
Let's face it, there are hundreds of excellent bass lines out there, from "I'm a Man" by The Spencer Davis Group to James Jamerson "Ain't no Mountain High Enough" through Yes, Primus, Metallica, and Rush to name a few. What lifts any one of these excellent bass riffs is its context and ability to set the mood or drive the emotion in the song it's being played.
You actually made me laugh. Ur sense of humour is great. Ur playing is great too btw
Davie: plays Master of Puppets
Editing davie: Enter sandman
Not épico.
EPIC... fail...
He did that on purpose. He does that often and it's too obvious he's joking.
@@paulanthonymorrisjr not that obvious to people who don't watch his content everyday
@@shawne5014 and it's obvious they don't watch Davie504 that much
“Beat It” bass line is ÉPICO, too!
''Can't stop"
"Beat it"
"Good time"
Something's wrong i can feel it
this look sus
Lmao
Wrong order its
Beat It
Cant Stop
Good Time
And he played with a pick, and hid his hands... This is very sus!
I was really hoping to see The less i know the better-by Tame Impala on here, one of my favorite bass lines ever! great video Davie.
My number 1 bassline might be Stu Hamm's rendition of Moonlight Sonata. Weather Report w/ Jaco is challenging. Victor Wooten from Bela Fleck & the Flecktones is a freak of nature too. I haven't played as much lately, but those used to be my top 3:
- Stu Hamm
- Victor Wooten
- Jaco
As far as radio syndicated music, Tim Commerford from Rage Against The Machine had a lot of cool riffs.
I like Stu Hamm's "Country Music from Hell"
I would swap Stu Hamm with Mick Karn, but that's a nice top 3.
Davide Biale is so talented. You should challenge him to a bass battle
Well duh he’s talented 😒😒😒
Sì
He already did. Davide Viale is now a girl called Animebassme.
It's same person dude
*Whooshed incoming
Tell me something ...is that the real name of Davie ?
Me: sees Davie reject YYZ in his top 10 list
Also me: *a tear falls off my eye*
RIP Neil Peart
He was too weak to play geddy lee's bassline! He could only dream to reach the mastery lever of Neil peart! RIP
That's because he can't play it. Only David Biale can play it.
His finger isn't strong enough 😉
As a diehard Rush fan, I don't feel YYZ is their strongest bassline. There are TONS of underrated songs/basslines, like Marathon man, Vital Signs, The Big Money that have catchy and complex basslines.
@@wyvern4588 I not-jokingly want Marathon played at my funeral. Bassline and all.
Great video. I thought that "Last Train to London" was gonna be at least in the honorable mention section. That's such a great bass line
Yeah that's a great one, although that bass line was performed on a synthesizer.
Davie: Beat it
Also Davie: **proceeds to play Billie Jean**
Classic Davie XD
The same with Enter Sandman while playing Master of Puppets
@@thundermike900 this was the one i noticed. not familiar enough with michael jacksons instrumental.
He also played master of puppets while it said he was playing enter sandman.
@@panuncdfable right... that's what I was replying to...
I thought I was crazy and searched for this comment ^^
You said “Beat it” but then played the “Billie Jean” bassline.
Ikr
I was thinking the same!
I didn't catch that right away, but you are so right. Davie504 needs to get a self slapp for that mistake 🧐.
LoL same
He does that on purpose. It's a joke. It's ok that it went over your head
Ian Dury and the Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick is the sickest bass line I can think of at the moment. Stranglers - Peaches is also tasty. But number 1 should be Lou Reed - Walk On the Wild Side.
John Taylor's bass playing on "Rio" is up there for me.
I'm a Bernard Edwards stan I love that you included "Good Times" in your list. But in my opinion he had even a few better ones than that.
Louis Johnson's bassline for Michael Jackson's "Get on the Floor" is epic as well.
But like you said there are so many very good basslines its really tough to put a top 10 together.
Yeah they left out a ton of funky stuff. For them to put another one bites the dust but not good times is crazy
Why do I always feel like I'm in trouble when I watch Davie?
You must not be slapping enough in your spare time and feel subconscious guilt
He’s lecturing us lmao
Did you like and subscribe? Otherwise not a clue.
Cuz u are
@@MrRahulparasar That's what I was afraid of
Your Enter the sandman sounded like Master of puppets lmao, Epic
No wayyy🤯
It's "Master of the Puppets"
@@agrofindastation The joke you
and beat it sounded like billie jean
That just tells me you haven't watched many Davie videos
As a bass player myself, I loved Paul McCartney‘s baseline on Rain, and I loved Chuck Rainey’s baseline on Peg.
Peg is an all-around awesome song.
Oh man, I've always loved Peg! My instructor made me learn it 40 years ago, and that's how I fell hard for SD and Aja. Iconic.
You are fun to listen to.😊
*“Just because there is a bass line in a great song, Doesn’t mean the bass line is a great bass line”*
_Thus Spoke Zarathustra_
shut up and go negotiate the Danelaw
jk
So, am I the only one who is hearing the music to Thus Spoke Zarathustra in his head?
Greetings from the kangaroo!
word
"there are way more famous basslines by metallica, such as (Enter sandman)" PROCEEDS TO PLAY MASTER OF PUPPETS
Orion is way better in my opinion
I was hoping someone else caught that
That was the joke
Hahaha true
Funny trick there lol
My favorite has always been Walk On The Wild Side, I like the duet between the electric and double basses :)
I guess we all have our favourites..
I couldn't think of a list of bass-lines without including
Pino Palladino playing on Paul Youngs "Wherever I lay my hat"
and
Level 42 "Lessons in love"
2:33 Yes, my favourite Metallica song. Master of Sandman.
Thought I was tripping when I heard it
My favorite one is Enter Puppets.
@@Apethantos APPROVED 👍
Ye,infamous hit by primus - master of too many puppies.
I thought it was Master of Matters
"Four, Beat it"
* Plays Billie Jean instead*
I instantly noticed that he doesn't know the diff.. figured I'd look at comments before I blurted it out. Good catch.
@@PDXGTP it's purposeful, he also play master of puppets on "enter sandman"
Knew I wasn't the only one who noticed this
SLAPP
Same for Metallica, says enter sandman, plays master of puppets
Absolutely criminal to keep YYZ out of your final top 10! Great video, very entertaining!
Yeah, that For Whom The Bell Tolls bassline is about as sweet as it gets.
4th Song: Beat It
*PLAYS BILLIE JEAN*
Michael Jackson: My Goals is Beyond your Understanding.
6:48 another one *bitest* the dust
He kept his right hand out of the frame so you wouldn’t see him playing Roundabout with a pick
Great catch!
Checkmate
Isn’t it originally played with a pick?
Yes, but this practice is not approved by Davie 504. Now that I think about it, why does he even have a pick?
@@yyz4761 I liek using a pick 😭
I'd have thought Every Breath You Take (The Police) would be high on the list of most iconic basslines. I'm sure it's not one of the most complicated to play, but it does have a mesmerising quality that marks it out.
As soon as davie said that I wasn’t subscribed I subscribed 😅
There's so many baselines in Orion that you can't even pick a best one
Yeah, the second half of Orion has all the difficult stuff in it, and outside of maybe "Anesthesia" you're not going to find a better bass line from Metallica/ Cliff Burton.
My friend of Misery has such a good bassline, so underrated imo
@@joaocoelho160 Very iconic and catchy just not as technical as Orion
Metallica’s best bassline is The Call of Ktulu, you just can’t hear it very clearly other than the little distortion swells Cliff does.
@@chrisdobbs9155 isn't anesthesia a bass solo?
I can't believe Schism, Hysteria, and Feel Good Inc were honorable mentions. What an absolute slap in the face of the real badass bass lines.
You said it
AND ROUNDABOUT FOOL
haha "slap"
@@SlyTreeRat... No. Honorable is not the same as winning. Not sure what tree you were born under.
Also, no... Seven nation army is a generic ass bass line. Don't confuse catchy with good.
One of the best ever bass lines to a song is Ian Dury's hit me with your rhythm stick....Chronically underated and constantly overlooked
New subscriber. You're very good. Well done.
“Enter Sandman”
*plays Master of Puppets
“Beat it”
*plays Billie Jean
lol, I was only listening but had to do a double take when I glanced over during that segment due to a "wait...wut?" moment.
I was looking for this comment when he played it. Cmon Davie.
everyone here missed the joke
"Bassline"
*Plays Seven Nation Army which is famously an acoustic guitar with an effects pedal
Him trying not to break character while seeing all the “honorable mentions” killed me because I knew exactly what he was thinking lol
Two of my favorites, the baselines from Talking Heads:
"Born under punches" (live version)
and "Found a job"
Man that My Generation bassline had me involuntarily make a stank face.
Davie is not afraid of copyright, copyright is afraid of Davie.
Davie504 is the Chuck Norris of bass.

"You know what else is a bad choice? YOU"
*cries in regret*
LOL...
Don't worry mate. Yo momma will always love you no matter what. Or does she?
I honestly would put Orion to the place of Wrathchild, and it's probably the most technical bass line of Cliff (without counting solos like Anesthesia), and ffs this bassline rocks
the real Top 10 Basslines here!!
* Davie does not say "Whats up, *SLAPPERS* " *
Slappers - * Sadly sad crying*
Same
Sad times.. ¡-¡
nanii!!!!? youuuu!???
Davie plays Master of Puppets but named it Enter Sandman, epic
Was looking for this comment. Thank God someone else knew this! lol
@@SkorpioMusic I was looking for it too 😂, so I just decided to put this out
I love metallica
@@filipos0093 Metallica is awesome
He also made a mistake with the Michael Jackson bassline, the song is Billie Jean! Not Beat It
I like the projection of your personality... you know about the matter, and seem not to give it the middle finger^^ Which I Appreciate👍
Very late to this obviously but Ron Carter's bass work on Also Sprach Zarathustra is pretty amazing.
Obviously not the level of technical difficulty of some of these but his bass line provides much of the variation over a nine minute instrumental track, and it's all melodic and rhythmic rather than slapping and popping (not criticising players who use these techniques, just noting that Carter was working with a more limited toolkit).
Something very special.
You silly GOOSE 🦆, YYZ I have faith you can play this. I am always look for the next video from your studio, have NEVER seen one that didn't impress me. Houston, TX 🇨🇱🤠 U.S.A. (SLAP)
Seeing Davie play Orion made my day
I wanna to see the solo, that made me sad 😥
me too!
Davie not approving of Orion being on the list, hurt me physically.
Davie playing Maiden and giving recognition to Steve Harris made mine :)
I liked the guest bassist. He seemed very skilled.
bad haircut, though.....................
He is. Very fluent finger setting.
I feel like he still muffed YYZ though
He was average.
Geddy Lee is one of those bassists that can't be replicated even by the best bass players. The same when the best singers try to replicate Layne Staley from Alice In Chains. Just can't do it.
Orion was literally Cliff's masterpiece, and you played the wrong part, the intro and following sections are what make it iconic.
- Owner of a Lonely Heart (Yes)
- Work Sht! Out (Henrik Linder, Dirty Loops)
- Rock You (Henrik Linder, Dirty Loops)
- Lingus (Michael League, Snarky Puppy)
- Overtime (Tim Lefebvre, Knower)
- Lazarus (Tim Lefebvre, David Bowie)
- Big Time (Tony Levin, Peter Gabriel)

Hmm yes,I know this band it’s *Red Chili Hot Pepper*

pffft. everyone knows it is Red Cot Hhilli Peppers
It means
"Really Hard Chunky Phunk"
Beat it by michael Jackson
Plays Billy Jean
Michael Jackson’s bassist was always so underrated.. great picks bro.
Underrated by later generations and today unfortunately, but in his day one of the most recorded studio musicians hehe! Louis Johnson, check out his band The Brothers Johnson they're dope!!
also Peter Cetera listen Goodbye - Chicago
He played the Billie Jean bass but said Beat it lol
Did you just say P I C K S?
PICKS
I definitely approve your top 10 (except no:1) 👍

Billy Gould of Faith No More is arguably one of the most underrated bassists. He has some excellent bass lines.
Amen to that!!

FNM!!🤘🤩🤘
@@negtype13 Good call! Falling to Pieces is also a cracking bass line from that same album. Everything's Ruined from Angel Dust is another.
Bass in the @$$....great job David, I like your list.
🏆😉👍🇧🇷
8:31 Says and writes "Beat it" then plays "Billie Jean" 🤣🤣 .. SLAP IT!
2:34 is the same joke, it's not enter sandman but it is Master of Puppets
I haven't even watched the video, but I'm gonna say... " *Yes, you CAN* "
Like Shia LaBeouf.
not he can, he wILL
Yes
I’m man,yes I’m
The bass line in Roundabout is insane. I would also add in Marcus Miller "Run For Cover."
It’s easier to play a line when you have tabs or notes written for you somewhere. Coming up with these lines was the true challenge, not copying it. But I recognize true talent when I see it and you sir, you kick some ass. *bows down*. And Rush is my favorite band of all time and man, Lee is an amazing bass player.
Davie just knows how to annoy us: enter sandman but playing master of puppets, writing red chilli hot peppers, counting seven nation army as a baseline and writing beat it but playing Billie jean
I muted when I read Seven Nation Army. Didn't want that ear parasite with me all day.
There’s also “Another one Bitest the Dust”
FROM whom the Bell TOOLS
Billie beat it!
xD xD xD xD
Any top ten bass list without Geddy is an incomplete list.
Truth!👍👍
Agreed
Geddy Lee, Justin Chancellor, and Cliff Burton
As a bassist I have never listened to geddy lee and probably never will
any virgin without rush is incomplete. i know because i am one.
I like the bass line in Level 42 songs: Take a look: lovely melodic line.
Deadpan AF😂 love it man
I would say My Generation definitely deserves its spot on that list.
*OK*
Agreed, it’s one of the first rock songs with a bass break that iconic.
Something else people don’t think about is that the song was release in 1965. This is a time period when the best session bassists were still being discovered by record labels and there simply wasn’t that much high level bass playing outside of jazz records. Entwistle is an icon.
Yea.. Limp Bizkit was snubbed.
people try to get us down
Blows my mind Rush were in their TWENTIES cranking out shit like YYZ, La Villa Strangiato, and 2112. Phenomenally talented band, always happy to see them represented on these lists.
rush
Kill em All by Metallica they were like 20...
David Gilmour was only 27 having recorded The Dark Side of the Moon too.
Yes, but David cant play YYZ. He's not that good bassist
Not impressive considering Bobby Shmurda has been selling crack since like the 5th grade.
Love this guy!
It looks like so much fun to learn/play bass guitar!
I absolutely love that Davie isn't swayed by only choosing challenging basslines that are likely more stimulating as musician to play but aren't necessarily musically the most enjoyable
I'm a simple person
I see Geddy Lee, I click.
Stole my line...
same
ah yes, a man of culture aswell
Damn I just commented that lmao
@@zylavormusic2616 define stealing
"Dazed and confused" is a stripped down, electrified, down-tempo, blues-rock classic. It's dark, gritty, soulfull and the bassline drives the whole song like a lurking disaster. It's Iconic because of how much it does with so little.
Compare what was played here to what John Paul Jones played. Were they really the same?
roundabout being an honorable mention is the most watchmojo thing ever
