This... This is perfection in the genre of rock. Muse is definetely my favorite band of all the modern rock genres. I havent found a flaw in melody and rythm in any of their songs
@strokerman01 White stripes are GREAT but they are garbage vs Muse. Like an ant fighting a musical and lyrical Giant. <PHD in production from Julliard.
@FERRABONE the ramones, rush, yes, the white stripes, the stray cats, the hives, ac/dc, led zeppelin, metallica, u2, cream, the who, and of course Jimi Hendrix. the best thing since the 80's or 90's, but not since the beatles. just Hendrix alone was one of the best things to happen to music period. the beatles are the best thing to happen to music.
no this is absolutely not the best bass riff ever by any means...its decent but theres no tastyness ya know? no funk no soul no livelyness just travelin by 5ths kinda...n btw that dude can not play guitar man
one, hypocrisy is an action. Being a hypocrite is a state of being. While on the subject, hypocrite is also a descriptive word that can be used in many contexts.
Two, it contridicts because he was bitching about bitching, so in its self it contridicts the point he was trying to make.
Through all in all, we could be arguing about something that is completly and uterly opinionated.
Please don't act like you know what your talking about and then add salt to injury, itso a disgrace.
@hoverjuice , you know in that comment it's self is hyporitical, because you your self are also bitching about bitching, so really, you just contridicted your self.
@TheMegaDiconius , getting all puffed up and upset won't fix a thing. People are people. Hell im only reading the comments because I am bored. So please stop. Fyi im not taming any ones side, just got bored of all the complaining.
@Unknown18x5x It's hypocritical sure, but it doesnt contradict itself. He only made one statement, expressing one view. Kinda impossible to contradict one statement without making another. Hypocrisy does not mean the point being made is wrong, it simply means that the hypocrits argument may carry less weight, depending on the circumstances, because of their hypocrisy. Please learn what words actually mean, or else stop using them.
So its not the best bassline ever. Is this such a shock? Who was expecting a poll to define what the best of anything? Do we look to the charts to find out what the best songs are? I hope not.
This is great song by a great modern band. Enjoy it.
For those reliant on polls for their opinion I think Dappy is currently UK Number one. You should be able to get your T-Shirt at HMV...
how, exactly, can you call a group of people "fags" simply for getting their comment disliked? do all gay people suddenly hate muse and post rude/negative comments on muse videos?
and what if elton john and ellen degeneres posted? hm?
Wtf is wrong with youtube? where is the official music video for this? I'm sick of copyright bullshit on this website. Just put up the damn music so people can enjoy it.
seriously are youtube commeters becomeing nothing but bitching people? what happened to just enjoying something and glad its here in the first place. shit, i understand you have a opinion and thats the reason for a comment box, but seriously, get fucking over it. every youtube video is ether one troll talking shit or people spouting shit about the bible or some shit, fucking just listen to a song you like, leave your precious thumbs up that wont get you anything in the real world and just listen
@SchmaexiMcMaexi If it's playback then explain to me why the live bootleg of this gig (London Earls Court 2004/12/19) has the vocals sounding exactly the same.
It's not the matter "it's the hardest, or the best or whatever", but why can't you just enjoy the song? Whats the matter with you all?! Fighting over the internet lol
I don't know. I'd never heard of Muse (I know, right?) and I came to check out the best bass line ever. I thought it was pretty impressive. Wasn't this voted on by Bass players? It wouldn't be my favorite to listen too, but it would take impressive chops to play.
@Khaospenguiny --What do I know? I'm a self taught intermediate guitar player. I never claimed my opinion was valuable. I enjoy what I enjoy and as I'm exposed to better stuff I'll become more discerning...I noticed you didn't recommend any choppy chops so I'd know it next time I hear them. That would be helpful, and also, what do YOU think is the best bass line ever?
Well it's certainly not the best ever, or hardest ever, or anything like that, but it's certainly a groovin, nasty riff that is a great baseline to build a straightforward rock song over, which is what Muse (used to) do so well: rock hard and creatively.
I came here for the 'best bassline ever', heard a live version and I'm STILL sold. Download it, the recorded version, which is hopelessly elusive on here is AMAZING! Best, I don't know, but still awesome!
There's no such thing as the "best bassline ever". This is a great bassline and a great song. Debating whether it's "better" than anything else is a waste of time. Just enjoy it in it's own right. I'm a bassist and i love playing it :D
wow it's full of haters here, Seriously it is a great bass line, maybe not the best that is only subjective, but the power of this bass line come from how it fit perfectly to the song, especially with the guitar.
so maybe not the best bass line but definitely the song that gives the more thrill.
Fuck, do people realize that everyone would complain no matter what song was on the top? Music poll results are always shit for that reason, people have different tastes and everyone thinks their taste is better than everyone else's.
Most people complaining about the results probably didn't even vote in the poll...
Maybe the bass line sounds better in the studio version? I'm just not hearing it. At best this sounds like a Queen cover band trying their hand at their own material...
@TheMegaDiclonius fuck you. just listen to the damn fucking song you bastard and get a fucking life. if you just want to listen to bass lines then go do it. don't shit about it on Muse's song. ou and everyone else can go be disappointed, and can go hate on Muse, but no one wants to hear this damn fucking crap. assholes.
@ArissaLee Yeah, right, I´m the one who has no life here, really? I don´t know why fanboys can´t take an opinion oppossed to theirs, they always end up butthurt because someone doesn´t like their sacred cow band. I mean, the comment box is made for, well, COMMENTING, good or bad, an opinion is an opinion, I respect that people like them, don´t wonder why fanboys can do the same for people that doesn´t like it... anyway, learn to take an opinion for fuck´s sake
I never liked Muse until I saw them at Glasto (boyfriend insisted) and was impressed - they certainly rock as a big venue-blast band.But best bass line?that should go to a track where you can here the bass clearly - where it dominates the song and reverbrates through your feet, up your legs, through your spine into you heart and makes you bounce..cant beat that feeling! This song just doesnt do that for me....I can think of many that do, but I wont bore you so early in the morning!
No doubt, they are talented, and it's a great bassline, but best bassline of all time is way overshooting it. it's not really my bag, but kudos to them for doing their own thing though. At least it's not a song about fireworks or mistletoe, etc...
And for all the folks who say 'saying it's not the best is not enough', here are basslines I like more. Sure, NME has their opinion, here's mine, in no particular length or order:
Ron Carter on nearly every track of Tribe Called Quest's 'Excursions' album
Early RHCP, particularly blood sugar sex magic
Minutemen - pick a song from double nickels on the dime... but let's just say 'the glory of man'
how about some Primus? Pretty much pick a song, but how about 'Tommy the cat' just for kicks.
The two Queen songs in 3 & 4 on NMEs list definitely outrank this song. Under Pressure is such an awesome bassline it was a smash hit twice (the original and yes, I'm talking about Vanilla Ice ripping it off later for the second)
I don't particularly care for Rush, but I will tolerate them once in a while just to hear the basslines...
NO Means NO - pick a song, but how about 'the graveyard shift'
Way too repetitious. I've heard much better from Geddy Lee, Jaco Pastorius, and Flea. Whoever voted this the "best bass line of all-time" obviously has not heard Led Zeppelin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rush or Weather Report. Those bands would easily blow Muse away.
To all you people bashing Muse: they are probably one of the most promising new bands I've heard, as most would agree. They are not a "mainstream money machine," they are not a "pussy band." Muse is one of the few new bands I've heard that really possess what some might call their "own sound." You are entitled to your own opinion, but acting like a 12 year old is no way to express it.
This sounds like it was influenced by myxamitosis by radiohead. Idk maybe its just cause the fuzz on the bass

I mean, the comment box is made for, well, COMMENTING, good or bad, an opinion is an opinion, I respect that people like them, don´t wonder why fanboys can do the same for people that doesn´t like it... anyway, learn to take an opinion for fuck´s sake

I never liked Muse until I saw them at Glasto (boyfriend insisted) and was impressed - they certainly rock as a big venue-blast band.But best bass line?that should go to a track where you can here the bass clearly - where it dominates the song and reverbrates through your feet, up your legs, through your spine into you heart and makes you bounce..cant beat that feeling! This song just doesnt do that for me....I can think of many that do, but I wont bore you so early in the morning!

No doubt, they are talented, and it's a great bassline, but best bassline of all time is way overshooting it. it's not really my bag, but kudos to them for doing their own thing though. At least it's not a song about fireworks or mistletoe, etc...

And for all the folks who say 'saying it's not the best is not enough', here are basslines I like more. Sure, NME has their opinion, here's mine, in no particular length or order:
Ron Carter on nearly every track of Tribe Called Quest's 'Excursions' album
Early RHCP, particularly blood sugar sex magic
Minutemen - pick a song from double nickels on the dime... but let's just say 'the glory of man'
how about some Primus? Pretty much pick a song, but how about 'Tommy the cat' just for kicks.

Victor Wooten. Period.
What about Bootsy Collins/Parliament/Funkadelic?
What about Led Zeppelin?
The two Queen songs in 3 & 4 on NMEs list definitely outrank this song. Under Pressure is such an awesome bassline it was a smash hit twice (the original and yes, I'm talking about Vanilla Ice ripping it off later for the second)
I don't particularly care for Rush, but I will tolerate them once in a while just to hear the basslines...
NO Means NO - pick a song, but how about 'the graveyard shift'

At least with Rush you can hear the bass...

Way too repetitious. I've heard much better from Geddy Lee, Jaco Pastorius, and Flea. Whoever voted this the "best bass line of all-time" obviously has not heard Led Zeppelin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rush or Weather Report. Those bands would easily blow Muse away.

It's a matter of taste, you find those better others find Muse better. Get off your high horse and get over it, instead of coming to whine in here.

I have to agree this bassline is MY all time favorite but not so sure if best ever.

To all you people bashing Muse: they are probably one of the most promising new bands I've heard, as most would agree. They are not a "mainstream money machine," they are not a "pussy band." Muse is one of the few new bands I've heard that really possess what some might call their "own sound." You are entitled to your own opinion, but acting like a 12 year old is no way to express it.
