May 16, 200818 yr not an expert but I like his bass lines in White shadows, Dont panic, GPASUYF and Square one A LOT :nice:
May 16, 200818 yr First one that comes into my mind gotta be Daylight, that's class, then Sparks and GPASUYF and White Shadows, I can totally understand why he pushed so much for it to be included in X&Y :nice:
May 16, 200818 yr My faves: Don't Panic: Smooth all the way down. Sparks: His most prominent bass role in virtually any song, it's a great centerpiece for the song, and it's very relaxing/mellow. Trouble: The softness of the song causes the bass vibes to rise to the top, maybe not the example for guys talents, but I like it. Everything's not lost: Love the accompanying melody in the chorus! GPASUYF: I know Guy and Chris spent some time trying to work it out, although simple the bassline really does drive the song and keeps it interesting. Clocks: One of my faves, big fan of that little descending bit after the chorus. Daylight: Great. A whisper: Not my fav, but since it's one of the bassiest coldplay songs out there it's worth a mention. Square one: Cool. White shadows: Cooler. Things I don't Understand: Awesome, in my top three for guy's bass riffs. Honorable mentions: For you: Simple. yes. But the quietness of the song makes the bass that much more satisfying. High speed: Jonny's grooves overshadow most of the bass throughout the song, but I do love that "do-do da-da-do..." in the outro. Ladder to the sun, Pour me.: Because.
May 16, 200818 yr He does this little melodic bit up the neck for one bar on Talk during the last chorus that makes the whole song for me. God Put A Smile for the reasons already mentioned Shiver...it just drives. I'm not explaining it well, but rhythmically Guy and Will work so well together. To many more for my lazy streak to type right now.
May 16, 200818 yr Tnspieler1012: Ahhh, I agree with all of those! The bass in Sparks really makes the song. I love how it responds to Chris' voice when he says "And I saw sparks..." do do do dooooo. Ah love it. Everything's Not Lost has a groovy one too, I find that it gives the song that extra bit of life it needs, and it contrasts all the mellow layers of instruments above it. Works really well. Things I Don't Understand is, I agree, one of his best! It basically IS the song. Plus I love the lyrics in that one too, I dont understand how it got left off X&Y at all. I could go on forever, but I would just be repeating what other people have already said :wink:
May 16, 200818 yr White Shadows, Daylight, Things I Don't understand, Violet Hill, Sparks to name a few.
May 16, 200818 yr Sparks obviously Speed of Sound and Clocks are 2 songs that have unappreciated bass parts, yet without them the songs would be empty. I cant believe no one mentioned Low, as constant speedy bassline with up-down picking throughout. Ive played it and its tough.
September 12, 200817 yr Author I was in Zavvi earlier and Violet Hill came on. The bass in this sounds so good really loud!
September 12, 200817 yr I'd have to say.. GPASUYF, White Shadows, Twisted Logic, CoL, and Speed of Sound.
September 13, 200817 yr White Shadows is my fav one,Violet Hill is great,too~ I also wanna say I luv the bassline of Can't Get You Out of My Head XXXD
September 13, 200817 yr Definitely Sparks and God Put A Smile. :) White Shadows, Violet Hill, and Lovers in Japan are good as well!
September 13, 200817 yr X&Y [the album] is like a bass triumph. Most of the songs have a killer bassline, especially White Shadows and Speed of Sound. Also: High Speed, GPASUYF , Lovers in Japan, Things I Don't Understand, Violet Hill, Cemeteries of London. But my all time favorite has to be Yellow. It makes me feel all happy inside. :nice:
September 13, 200817 yr I agree with all of you... but I have to add Low... the entire song exsist off only bassline to me...
