Mr. Not Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Asterisk = The Solo is live Did I miss any? Probably did.. Darn. Well, if other, say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) The ultimate question is whether or not the intro to Cyngus X-1 should be considered a solo. Also, my mistake with adding the asterisk to Freewill. I was ify on adding that song, too, but the playing during Alex's solo is just insane, and it starts off with just Geddy and Neil, so... I think this will start a slippery slope, deciphering bass solo from bass line Edited June 24, 2011 by Kenneth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerrobin Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 There's a bass solo at the end of Witch Hunt. I think it's only on the album version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 The sound and the melody of the bass solo in Vital Signs was always my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 From this list I chose Free Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerrobin Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Forgot about Vital Signs! Yes I think might be my favourite too. But out of the list I would go for Show Don't Tell solo. Funky stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3strukt Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Voted for LTTA, but then realised my error and saw FW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (Drummerrobin @ Jun 24 2011, 02:35 AM)There's a bass solo at the end of Witch Hunt. I think it's only on the album version. Ah, so there is. Nowhere near Ged's best, but it still should be on the list! In the future, I'll make an updated, complete version.. And probably exclude freewill, otherwise it will make the 'solo' criteria too complex. And, who knows, maybe Clockwork Angels will actually be released some day, and that album will have a bass solo somewhere on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartBruce Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I went with Driven. I think the bass work is immense on the entire album but this bad boy grabs you and shakes the shit out of you. Then when it is played live you suddenly realise I'm right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Sawyer Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I love the bass in all of these songs, especially Driven and Show Don't Tell. However, I voted for the end jam of CttH live. Makes me feel good every time I hear it on a boot or something. And then Alex comes in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Ill go with YYZ for difficulty, mainy because he plays those 3 little solos in the middle and he often doesnt play the 2nd one well, especially these days, so Ill go with that. You know it's hard if the guy that wrote it cant even play it right all the time. Edited June 24, 2011 by trenken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Can't choose. Love them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvisibleAirwaves13 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Gotta go with YYZ. Epic playing there although most of his soloing is off the charts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Freewill, without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUP1771 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 As soon as I read the thread title, the bass solo from Freewill jumped in my head. I would have said Vital Signs too, but that isn't on the list. I do happen to love Leave That Thing Alone's live solo, but since the bass solo from Freewill jumped in my mind first, I'll have to go with that one.

J2112YYZ Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 All very good ones. I went with Freewill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyLeeFender Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 All of those are great but I would have to say his best SOLO, or my favorite atleast is Show Dont Tell. Its so creative and uses so many technical skills (harmonics quick hammer and pull offs etc.) its great! Ahh..im going to listen to that right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh..im going to listen to that right now Its very good but its not as hard to play as that second solo fill in YYZ or even the one in La Villa. I have a harder time with both of those than that Show Dont Tell solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TristanHemisphere Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) I went for the La Villa Strangiato solo because it's plain and simply brilliant Edited June 24, 2011 by TristanHemisphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I voted for LTTA, though YYZ and Driven stick out in my mind too. LTTA is my favorite song of the three (unusual for me that I have such an attachment to an instrumental). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilCastro Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Do the bass parts in the beginning and end of Red Barchetta constitute as bass solos? I went with YYZ... it doesn't get much better than that. I love the solo in Show Don't Tell as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I had to go with Driven from the Different Stages solo. For a moment you think he is done and then... DAMN can a man play the bass that cool and still be human? You decide. I'm a fanboy and can't be objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastille Dave Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 the whole YYZ track is like one long bass solo to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
