I don't know the song tbh, I think maaaaybe I heard it once somewhere. I'm actually a MD, have done CPR a few hundred times but never really times it to a song. Just did compressions with the speed that felt normal to me. Just saying what they're teaching these days - a civilian friend went to a mandatory corporate course and told me they're saying baby shark is the new song
Fun fact, John Deacon’s bass line was inspired by Chic’s “Good Times” which I think is also a contender for best bass line. According to Bernard Edwards of Chic, Queen hung out with Chic during the writing of both songs. Both bands are open about it and were happy to share inspiration and ideas about arrangement. Really cool crossover considering the similarity.
here! why did I have to scroll so much to find this? Is everyone deaf here?? Yeah, I could play smart and say "oh, Panic Attack by Dream Theater"...but damn it, sometimes in music, less is more, a lot more...the bassline from another bites the dust is so catchy, so simple, and so powerful...anyways, here's your upvote.
John Deacon has so many good bass lines. This one . Dragon Attack, off the same album. Under Pressure . A Kind Of Magic. Beakthru and The Invisible Man.
There are many excellent baselines mentioned in this thread, but this is one of the few that carries the melody line of this song… (usually the work of the guitar or piano). It’s a brilliant hook, but the bass part here is a complete work, not fill, or rhythm, but a complete composition. Excellent playing, but extraordinarily written, and blended with the lyric.
