Guy Berryman is a bass player - what's his best Bass playing?

Featured Replies

I'm listening to Viva La Vida, and I LOVE Guy's bassline, especially when it kicks in at 3.00-ish.

 

Others I would say; White Shadows, Sparks, Daylight (!!!) that's all I can think of for now.

I love it in Things I Don't Understand - its so different for Guy, because it basically defines the melody, but it definitely works. I love it!

 

*Searches for it in music library*

 

Cemeteries and Violet Hill are great too, I think it saves Violet Hill from being a bland mesh of guitars, actually.

Ooh, I forgot about Cemeteries of London - good call!

sparks, clocks, god put a smile upon your face, daylight, white shadows, LOW, square one, life in technicolor, violet hill and DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS

It seems no one has mentioned In My Place yet I was just listening to it and think d bassline is pretty good.

 

Also in my top favs (not in order) of Guy's bass playing are :

  • Sparks
  • White Shadows
  • I Ran Away
  • Warning sign
  • GPASUF
  • Low
  • Square one
  • Cemetries of London
  • Violet Hill
  • The Hardest part
  • Death and All His Friends

It may not be his greatest work, but if you listen the bass chords in Lovers in Japan they are great

Chris keeps saying the best part of lovers is the bass. It's not particularly unique, just driving u2-esque root notes but that's all it really needed.

yayy finaly someone agrees with me!

High speed and white shadows.

 

not really a huge fan of high speed,

but the bass is sick!

The bass in Life In Technicolor is great.

I've never really listened especially to the bass lines. But now I'm thinking, Daylight must be my favourite.

I never paid much attention to Guy's Hardest Part (bassline), but after I saw him gyrating in the video for that song I've been hooked.

Sparks and Cemeteries are in the top 5 IMO

I must hear this "Things I Don't Understand" song you guys speak of! Anyway:

 

Everything's Not Lost

Sparks

GPASUYF

Warning Sign

Daylight

Clocks

Square One

White Shadows

Speed of Sound

Lost! (live version)

Death and All His Friends

Low isnt that good on the Electric guitar but the bass is great, 42 is good too. Every song he does listen to the Bass, they are always great!! Guy Berryman=Excellent Musician

I must hear this "Things I Don't Understand" song you guys speak of! Anyway:
