cackyy Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I love how everyone stops playing and gives Guy the limelight at about 40 seconds, I wanna here more bass guitar!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 They are getting to an interesting point, once Guy was a little 'forgotten' and now his bass comes over. I think the way it is played reminds me of radio waves when we are changing the stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, im a bass head, so I just love it, and I was afraid he was starting to just get forgotten, but that little half a second nugget is sweeeet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluejay Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I like Guy's presence in this song. He barely gets a chance to stand out, so it's really great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanderp15 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Checkin' it on the live version it's definitely gotta be Guy playin the crunchy bass there..though I thought it was Jonny on the guitar before I went back and looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PianoRocker Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 At 40 seconds is a guitar. But from 40 seconds is obviously bassguitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icedude2010 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 It sounds like guitar scratching to me? But there is also really great bass in this song in general, so I really enjoy it. It would be nice for someone to put together some tabs (or I Guuuuuueeeess I could try on my own) to play. hehe :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner 42 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 well... i know this is the forum of major minus haha but i want to say that Guy at 3:01 in ETIAW really he do something amazing! :laugh3: listen... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Kf_6BWcOOg]YouTube - Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall (Official)[/ame] Epic Guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanderp15 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Go back and watch the live versions on youtube, there is at least one (that I saw) that you can clearly see jonny muting his strings and standing by while the 'scratching' bass occurs. So it can't be jonny in the live (even though it sounds like it is), which leads me to believe that its not jonny in the studio either. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- looking at another video, it could be both? the video quality is too poor to distinguish really. ahhhh, it sounds like bass in the studio to me. ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoryABjerre Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 and all the Scottish folk music in ETIAW dance much Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelpdogg Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I highly doubt that Guy is replicating that distorted / fuzzy / scratching part at 0:40 in the song. It very much sounds like a guitar to me. And as for the boys playing this fantastic song live, I was thinking that they might've had that part played back and/ or someone back stage was playing that part (since Johnny wasn't playing and it didn't look like Guy was doing it either). I think Johnny wasn't able to play that part live because he would have had to switch tones/ pedals within a matter of a few seconds in order to carry out his riff which comes immediately after that. Either way if it's guitar or bass, this is an incredible song. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marley. Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The first time that I listened to the song after I bought it when it came out, I was actually thinking, "Wow, the bass in this is fantastic." Props to Guy, once again:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplayfan_115 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 If it was guitar, it could have been Matt... I can't tell if Guy does it, because they never capture him in that small moment... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WS Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I dont think that s the sound of a bass,is more like a guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplayfan_115 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Yeah. I agree. Just speculating. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdaPruda Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 THIS THREAD. :nod: One of the best bass lines in MX. And if the scratchy sound is Guy, then the swoon factor rises to the sky :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmbroseCadwell Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yeah, I think it's the bass. Wasn't it the bassist in Radiohead who does the same thing before the chorus in 'Creep'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukestar1991 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 What is all the fuss about? the guitar part 40 seconds in is played from the backing track, has no one worked that out yet? 7 months into their tour??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Nip 2 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The bass in this song is awesome! Guy is an extremely underrated bass player, but if you know where to look your in for a treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Well, I don't know if it's Guy playing that crunch at :40, but his bass is awesome in general in this song--better than his bass line in Violet Hill. :charming: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
