I've seen countless lists like this, and I just have to ask: has no one never heard the song "Badge" by Cream? At 15, I didn't even know what a bass guitar was, until I heard that song and fell in love with that sound. I knew, from then on, I would play the bass. I still do and I say, Badge, by Cream, is the best.
Started by playing along to this video, and then just spent the last hour playing Bullet In The Head and Guns of Brixton. Thank you for the inspiration 😊🤘🏻
Hell yeah! I feel that the Clash doesnt get as much cover as they should honestly, so happy he pays then respect and reminds people "hey, remember these guys? You know, one of the foundations of punk?"
You have Stranglers in there, the Clash in there, JJ Burnel is one of your fav behs players of all time. You wear your Thin Lizzy, Clash tees perfectly. Always entertaining. For me best UA-cam channel.
Holy SHIT! That is a solid list. As soon as I read the title I thought Wrathchild then caught myself because NO ONE would put THAT Maiden tune on a list…then, BAM! Then we get: NIB and How Many More Times (another one you’ll RARELY see on lists). Well done!
Was just bemoaning that Peaches by The Stranglers wasn't there, then you played Dead Ringer. And the opening run to No More Heroes is a mother of intros.
Good to see some Maiden in there. The Clairvoyant is also another stoking behs intro from Steve Harris. The late, great Phil Lynott deserves an entry here somewhere. Maybe Dancing in the Moonlight, The Holy War or Fats. I know the latter is far from their most prolific work, but it's really interesting behs playing!
Okay dude. I'm on the other side of the pond, grew up in Virginia, and I call my instrument the "GeeTar". I keep showing your videos to my wife because in my retirement I'm returning to the music that my parents pushed me away from. I watch your videos because I'm entertained. I know you can play and I want to get to know you because I'm trying to figure out the UA-cam thing. I want to teach and do session work for my retirement plan. Do you have any advice for finding session work? I do my own stuff at home now using Logic Pro X. I could go into studios in Raleigh NC (my home now) but I don't know how to begin. Kudos on what you have done here so far.
clever use of the octave pedal, but it's actually much higher, cliff played from the 19th fret of the g string, and he uses an octave pedal, but it's not 100% on the mix, I tried it with a 30% setting and I got kinda close, awesome playing tho, my dude
Muse - Hysteria Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting Sisters of Mercy - Lucretia, My Reflection (though some sources claim this was played on a synth)
I knew Wrathchild was going to be in there. Got the Time is in there too. One that I play regularly is: In the Meantime by Spacehog. The tempo of the published studio version is painfully slow though.
Such odd technique! Right hand for sure. And please, take that as a complement. Ive been to 1200 concerts in my life, most people just stand there and do what you expect. Right hand technique is unique, i noticed it in your 2020 BehstBehsterd award video ;) And it goes from incredibly accurate and well planed to lazy. in the best possible way. Groovy. My new behslawd that im diggin is Trevor Weekz from the band Goose in the US (not those Beglian heathens!). Weeks has very unique left hand technique. Sometimes mysteriously so.. otherwise looks like all the gents... that isnt accidental, its the ability to dial up the needs.. nice job @dannysapko
Nice work, but how about Ian Dury and The Blockheads, can't think of the bass players name but saw him live with John Otterway, just brilliant. The great Phil Linott, saw him in1975, Mark King, Level 42, just perfect at the NEC in 19??, can't remember. And how can forget, J J Burnell, probably got that wrong, but the start to No More Heroes, fantastic, yes some great intros and fantastic bass players, Lawrence

The intro to For Whom The Bell Tolls is played an octave higher, though smart use of an octaver!
Got here ahead of me haha \m/ despite that, guy gets some killer tones most of which sounded dead on...love his content and music diversity
It's played on the 19th fret G string
doesnt he use a whah pedal as well? @@oSileyCT-7212
Joy Division love will tear us apart . Peter Hook is an amazing bass player and is the lead in most songs ...

YESSSSS I do agree!
First bassline I learned
Yeah, and Blew by Nirvana. That thick, dark drop D bass intro at the start. Perfection.
Badge is a very nice song
It’s not very good. That’s probably why it’s not on the list. On account of it not being very good, I mean.
That squier with the flats sounds particularly amazing. Nice vid
Man 10/10 for tone emulation, it sounded like the originals
Except Wrathchild, but it's ok, Steve is one and only!
forty six and 2 was off he could’ve used any other bass for that and it would’ve sounded better
Pixies Gouge Away .. i love kim deals bass playing specialty in that song
Also Canonball by Josephine Wiggs (Breeders)
The PJ and Squier Classic Vibe sound amazing
Sweet Emotion
I second Sweet Emotion
Good call
Love your shorts and love this!
1) I like that it's not a TOP 20, just "here's 20 cool songs" and 2) you covered metal, funk and punk so I'm in my happy place
Glad to see Iron Fist over the usual Ace Of Spades, also good inclusion of Wrathchild and Got The Time
Started by playing along to this video, and then just spent the last hour playing Bullet In The Head and Guns of Brixton.
Thank you for the inspiration 😊🤘🏻
Thanks!
👌👌
Long view
Jerry was a race car driver
Schism
You make my dreams
You really got me
7 nation army
All good choices
Great behs lines one and all, expertly executed!
I think London dungeon and a few other misfits songs have incredible bass intros
Love to see The Clash on your lists! Paul Simonon is very underrated imo
In my opinion, the rhythm section of The Clash was probably the best part of the band. Solid as a rock.
Especially considering he couldn't even tune the thing himself! Love that guy, one of my favorites ever. Stylish as f*k too!
Hell yeah! I feel that the Clash doesnt get as much cover as they should honestly, so happy he pays then respect and reminds people "hey, remember these guys? You know, one of the foundations of punk?"
Do enter Shikari Bassist
I agree. For a guy who learned to play by listening to Ramones albums; he was throwing out some pretty solid bass lines by the time of Combat Rock.
most other youtubers give you ten bass lines in 20 minutes plus lots of idle chat , danny gives you 20 in 3.5 minutes -bravo !
Its all about the tones for me. Brilliant
Great classic riffs
You have Stranglers in there, the Clash in there, JJ Burnel is one of your fav behs players of all time. You wear your Thin Lizzy, Clash tees perfectly. Always entertaining. For me best UA-cam channel.
Nice songs you picked, some great ideas to play
so many of my favs!! beautifully played, tones recreated faithfully...Nice
Longview by Green Day should definetly on there too somewhere
Needs to be there fr.
Wiser words like yours have never been spoken! 😮
Mike Dirnt famously wrote the bassline when high on acid. Next day he couldn't remember how it went, or so the legend goes.
You need some Infectious Grooves in there... Punk It Up, Lock it in the Pocket...
wait a second no hysteria ? i mean it’s not a intro on the record but it is clearly when they play it live !
nice video, loved it like always 😊
OUTSTANDING selection!
BLASPHEMY BELL TOLLS IS PLAYED AT THE 19th FRET ON THE G STRING
For me absolutely best is Running Wild - Over The Rainbow. Truly amazing.
Holy SHIT! That is a solid list. As soon as I read the title I thought Wrathchild then caught myself because NO ONE would put THAT Maiden tune on a list…then, BAM!
Then we get:
NIB
and
How Many More Times (another one you’ll RARELY see on lists).
Well done!
Dead Ringer is good, but Peaches is much better, nice to see the Faces get in this list, superb track
Nice work Danny, must’ve been difficult to narrow it down to just 20, there are just so many good ones.
I just how u include every genre of music 👏👏👏
I don’t even play bass but when I manage to get my hands on one I always play How Many More Times, such a great riff.
Hey . ...I enjoy your immensely. I'm not even a Bass player, a flute - percussion/player
Great job on all of them!
Great vid and nice to see Got The Time included but unless I’m mistaken, the original song is by Joe Jackson and not Anthrax
Graham Maby was terrific on all the early Joe Jackson stuff
I second that
Certainly was.
I can't play a note but love your videos your level of playing is magnificent
Day of the baphomets by mars Volta would be right at home on this list. Would love to see a behs cover of that intro solo sometime
I've always loved longview by green day
I never hear Karnivool's All I Know in videos like this, super nice C string harmonics on bass
Anthrax may have covered Got The Time, but that's a Joe Jackson tune, with the great Graham Maby playing the awesome opening riff.
Brilliant as always. But where's Lust For Life? My favourite intro ever!
Props for that Narada Michael Walden. You nailed that tone too.
What strings are those with the red sleeves on that Jazz bass? 0:16
Perhaps Thomastik-Infeld. They often have sleeves like that.
Maybe rotos
Was just bemoaning that Peaches by The Stranglers wasn't there, then you played Dead Ringer. And the opening run to No More Heroes is a mother of intros.

Maybe Dancing in the Moonlight, The Holy War or Fats. I know the latter is far from their most prolific work, but it's really interesting behs playing!
Each to their own but I’d like to have seen “Into the Valley” by The Skids
how come ive never heard lounge act in these lists??
Because it’s criminally underrated and people look down on nirvana for some stupid reason
@@supersand6191 ive seen people look down on kurt as a guitarist but never dave on drums or krist on bass. they were incredibly at what they did
@@Henriqueleal0609 it’s mostly aic fans that shit on nirvana for being “not technical enough”
@@supersand6191 i mean, their loss
but i dont see Lounge Act.. anywhere, not even covers of people who like the vabd
@@Henriqueleal0609 yeah that bassline is god tier
Happy to See "Three Button Hand Me Down" on here! Ronnie Laine was a monster.
I was sure I would see No More Heroes on this list. You went with the Dead Ringer.. Even better! This is such an underrated song!
Very cool and I likes the Corvette!!!!

Man that Squire P sounds good!
He forgot about Primus and Les Claypool
Wow!! all intros Very good!!! Dk is for few nowadays...
Excellent, Deadringer particularly good.
No Ace of Spades or The Trooper? Aw, man.
Well, he’s doing intros.
loved the Led Zep!!
Clash -London calling
playing for whom the bell tolls down an octave is crazy
Great selection Danny! If I had to choose one I'd pick Wrathchild!
What make was that bass you used for the first intro? The MM style one with 2 a side tuners?
Thank you so much for doing a dead Kennedys song!
VERY rare to see someone put anything by Tool above Schism but the one you chose is so tight I can half agree but still know it could be right
Love Song - The Damned, Into the Valley - The Skids
I would definitely put "jackson five - i want you back" in my list. \o/
I love all your videos
Rock on
clever use of the octave pedal, but it's actually much higher, cliff played from the 19th fret of the g string, and he uses an octave pedal, but it's not 100% on the mix, I tried it with a 30% setting and I got kinda close, awesome playing tho, my dude
These are all so catchy 🤩
Excellent job as always .....jj burnel is a favorite.
Mystery Achievement by Pete Farndon (original bassist in Pretenders)
top bloke for doing Dead Kennedys
Muse - Hysteria
Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead
Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting
Sisters of Mercy - Lucretia, My Reflection (though some sources claim this was played on a synth)
Awesomeness 🤘😎
Great T-Shirt 😄
Diggin the vibe and shirt
You missed Nick Beggs’ incredible intro to Too Shy
Three Button Hand Me Down!?! - My man! Happy to find someone under 65 that is aware of that song!
This is more of a deep track, but I love the bass intro of the Yes song, "Sound Chaser."
I was gonna say "Does It Really Happen"...great intro, and outtro!
I Gotta Get Outta This Place
The Seinfield bass riff is actually played on a synthesizer. That being said, I love the way you say bass……
Haha, I figured someone would post this eventually.
Thank you
Talk Talk - It's My Life.
Does anyone know what brand of bass that is at 1:08 during Another One Bites The Dust?
Retrovibe if im right. Or chowny
Its a davie504 signature for sure
Was waiting for wrathchild. Got it right :)
Hard to tell which one to bump, but a case can certainly be made for Ozzy Osbourne - No more tears
3:13. Ronnie Lane! Nice choice.
I knew Wrathchild was going to be in there. Got the Time is in there too. One that I play regularly is: In the Meantime by Spacehog. The tempo of the published studio version is painfully slow though.
I was biting my lips the whole time of this video I just noticed. I guess that's what a sick bass riff does.
Surprised hysteria by Muse isn't on here
im surprised too, looks like this guy doesn't have bass knowledge
There are many more than 20 great bass intros.
It’s missing some intros: My Friend of Misery from Metallica is ,Badge from Cream and Lounge Act from Nirvana
“A Town Called Malice” by the Jam ❤
Such odd technique! Right hand for sure. And please, take that as a complement. Ive been to 1200 concerts in my life, most people just stand there and do what you expect.

Bro, Motörhead should have made the list twice (Iron Fist & Ace of Spades), still though, great list and a great channel as well - Cheers!
Nice list! I would add Crash Course In Brain Surgery by Budgie too.
Nice work, but how about Ian Dury and The Blockheads, can't think of the bass players name but saw him live with John Otterway, just brilliant. The great Phil Linott, saw him in1975, Mark King, Level 42, just perfect at the NEC in 19??, can't remember. And how can forget, J J Burnell, probably got that wrong, but the start to No More Heroes, fantastic, yes some great intros and fantastic bass players, Lawrence
Sorry just watched again and J J is in there, old age it's a bastard!
Norman Watt-Roy. Had the pleasure of seeing him play with Ian Dury and the Blockheads and Wilko Johnson.
Mountain Song - Jane’s Addiction
Three Days - Jane’s Addiction
A lot of people want Longview on this list, and I agree. Would also like to see Pump It Up by Elvis Costello.
A super super underrated intro I never hear in videos like these is Con Clavi Con Dio by Ghost. The gross tone is an oddity in intros like that
Pinnacle to the pit is another great example by ghost
“I Need Love”-Dave Clark 5
