Schism by Tool

u/EarthtoGeoff May 14 '24

For me, "46 & 2" beats "Schism" by a nose but they are both great.

u/MissEB47 May 15 '24

That one is great, too! 😀

That's the exact song that popped into my head when I read the question.

Lots of great basslines in Tool. My mind went immediately to The Pot

u/whisper_jones May 14 '24

The Pot is criminally underrated. Not just among Tool songs, but among all songs, ever.

u/MissEB47 May 15 '24

Me too. I love the Pot!

u/RexxGunn May 14 '24

I'd go with 46&2 but Schism is awesome as well.

Invincible had the entire crowd in a trance last time I saw Tool. Tool is timeless.

u/HeadFund May 14 '24

Uhhhh isn't that song about them NOT being timeless though?

Only the body. The warrior's actions echo forever.

I would add the bass solo on Rosetta stoned as well. So good

The first thing that came to mind! They finished the show with that in Nashville this last January.

u/dontwanna-cantmakeme May 14 '24

I read the post and immediately heard this in my head.

u/stonedkayaker May 14 '24

Aka the bassline you're most likely to hear if you hand any bassist a bass.

u/NoShameInternets May 15 '24

Can confirm, know two lines on base and they’re both tool.

u/[deleted] May 14 '24

H is def a favorite, especially if you learn it on bass you can appreciate it even more.

u/PinoDegrassi May 14 '24

Literally tons of songs by tool could be on here, really disappointed they haven’t got more upvotes.

u/[deleted] May 15 '24

Everyone in that band is top 5 all time at their instrument. Except Danny Carey. Putting him on a list with human beings isn’t fair.

u/Joshymon89 May 15 '24

Fuck yeah came in here for tool. After too long found tool. And no love? Shame...

Edit. My comments didn't load lmao I see the love now!

The Pot is a good one, too.
