    Shows how creative genius Wolstenholme actually is. Muse wouldn't be the same without him or Dominic.

      Merryblue Absolutely agree.

    • @pablorandri6459

      Hysteria and many other basslines were actually written by Matt

    • @diashussain3218
      @diashussain3218 Před 5 lety +80

      How bout Matt, he writes all the songs have the time.
      And tbh this band wouldn't be the same without any of them.

    • @alejandroramirezavendano43
      @alejandroramirezavendano43 Před 5 lety +69

      Well, Matt wrotes almost everything, but he has two perfect musicians to play his masterpieces (And Something Human too)

    • @maxluquin9407
      @maxluquin9407 Před 5 lety +16

      That’s a broad statement, cause any band wouldn’t be the same without any of its members, look at what happened when blink got rid of scot raynor, then the drumming became crazy asf and they got songs like feeling this and after midnight, then with Tom leaving it’s basically a new band,
      If you take anyone from anywhere it literally wouldn’t be the same

      the handler is my favorite muse song, everything about it gives me chills its so fucking good

  • @johnmartinez7440
    @johnmartinez7440 Před 3 lety +41

    What I've always found so impressive about New Born (4:08) is that about 4 minutes of the song is just Chris repeatedly doing that bass line. I tried playing it with my band and found it impossible because my left hand cramped, even after lengthy practice.

    • @zk5701
      @zk5701 Před 2 lety +4

      me too. I've been working on it, but even so I can only get a minute or two in. it's so much more difficult than it seems

  • @LibertyDino
    @LibertyDino Před 6 lety +59

    I love the chorus bassline for undisclosed desires.
    Fun fact, a bassist who lived in the same flat often woke me up playing panic Station.

    • @NightwalkReal
      @NightwalkReal  Před 6 lety +13

      Haha that's not so bad, I might actually not get mad if it were Muse waking me up

  • @citizenerased174

    I’ve never heard the reapers base part this clearly before and DAMN it’s FIRE.

  • @loisbellamy2425
    @loisbellamy2425 Před 6 lety +181

    as a musician who try to compose, the hysteria bass line is for me a kind of sacred thing, u know that kind of master piece that you don't know how the the f*ck it came to the mind of the one who made it. But there is another bass line frome muse that make me the same effect and which is not in your top, and that is Futurism.

    • @NightwalkReal
      @NightwalkReal  Před 6 lety +13

      Both of them are great, but this is just my opinion :)

    • @Pooperdooper29
      @Pooperdooper29 Před 2 lety +1

      I believe matt came up with the riff if I remember correctly

    • @ChrisTheGamer9999
      @ChrisTheGamer9999 Před 2 měsíci

      ​@Pooperdooper29 matt played the riff on guitar, but thought it would sound better on bass, so chris played it and the rest is history

  • @aymanelakrami8915
    @aymanelakrami8915 Před 6 lety +559

    I'm sorry but in my opinion nothing beats hysteria's bass line . It's the song that got me into muse long ago.

    • @Hyperfyre
      @Hyperfyre Před 6 lety +42

      That bassline is on another level. It just is too good.

    • @NightwalkReal
      @NightwalkReal  Před 6 lety +123

      I think I’m a tiny bit fatigued of it being number one on every list and the only bassline non-muse fans recognize as being good from them - trying to give credit to some of the other great ones Chris has come up with!

    • @aniareyouok9673
      @aniareyouok9673 Před 6 lety +20

      Note chris didn’t write hysteria it was Matt.... :)

      @@NightwalkReal like liquid state. Criminally underrated. The live version is impressive, he can sing while playing it. Ashamed has a great bassline too. As well as Jimmy Kane.

    • @syncynatic2134
      @syncynatic2134 Před 4 lety

      that's my favorite as well, but reapers is a close second imo

  • @WxB2001
    @WxB2001 Před 5 lety +33

    I never knew the bass for "Reapers" in the verse was so complex

    • @soobaroo8253
      @soobaroo8253 Před 4 lety +3

      It's not really that complex, it just demands alot of stretching lol. I remember losing lots of stamina before I could get to the chorus part

  • @NightwalkReal
    @NightwalkReal  Před 6 lety +258

    Remember guys, this is just my opinion:
    - I didn’t put futurism because I think of hysteria as the final version of futurism
    -same thing for fury and the handler
    Let me know some of your favorites! I can always make a part 2 to get some of the bass lines you guys want to see :)

    otherwise another great vid

    • @NightwalkReal
      @NightwalkReal  Před 6 lety +4

      I agree, though it's mostly so amazing because the tone in that song is perfect, and I could not match it haha

  • @tylerlynch8559
    @tylerlynch8559 Před 6 lety +46

    Great video as usual! Animals for sure deserves number one. I know it seems stereotypical but Plug in babys chorus bassline is awesome.

    @colbybeltz8836 Před 6 lety +77

    Easily Mercy, Animals and Reapers don’t tend to make it on lists like these. Very glad you included them. Also for The Handler, I’ve always played that lick starting on the 10th fret, A string. Does Chris play it further up the neck like that live?

    • @NightwalkReal
      @NightwalkReal  Před 6 lety +3

      When I first learned the part I didn’t know what I was doing and learned it an octave down, so I just transposed it up on the d string, which I knew wasn’t right, it was just easier lol

    Muse is a great bass driven band. Pete Townsend described John Entwistle as playing “lead bass” for The Who. It’s the exact same with Wolstenholme and Muse

    Also, what pedal/effect(s) have you used on Darkshines to get those two different sounds?

    • @NightwalkReal
      @NightwalkReal  Před 6 lety

      I actually just played the part clean - the effect you're hearing there is from the original song.
      I think it may be a wah effect, though I'd have to test around to really tell.

  • @fakestoriesfakefans595

    wow. what a shocker. I would've expected hysteria at #1, but then again, I didn't really think about the handler or animals...
    nevertheless, this still a fantastic vid. keep up the good work, my dude!
