Every decade has its rock anthem. The 1970s had Stairway To Heaven and the ‘80s had Sweet Child O’ Mine, but in today’s video we’re paying tribute to the finest rock bass intros from the 1990s – including a riff that’s so easy that you might feel you already know how to play it.
A whole host of bands came to prominence in the ‘90s, including Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Living Colour, Rage Against The Machine, Tool and Green Day. But who came up with the greatest bass intro of all?

wow, thanks for Rotten Apple
primus sucks
Ha. That purple bass reminds me a lot of the Lamborghini Diablo (from the 90s funny enough)
Interestingly enough, the RCHP bass intro for Around the World is exactly the same as Budgie's guitar intro for Breadfan (1973).
Might you guys be familiar with the old Prague rock group Renaissance?
first heard jerry was a race car driver on mtv 120 mins and was amazed by the way les played then went out the next day and bought the cassette
You did the 90s without Eric Avery, and his bass intro to Jane's Addiction's Three Days?.. You guys gotta be kidding.
Flea still got it, the bass intro in "Go robot" has a lot of groove on it
Spiders from SOAD could be an honorable mention.
Question: is a 6 string bass open tuning the same as guitar?
I didn’t know there where 12 string bass ????
Would love to see you feature Simon Gallup and his bass lines that are the foundation of so many classic songs by The Cure. "Just Like Heaven", "Pictures of You", and "Lovesong" are a few that come to mind.
Not having Carousel by Blink-182 is somewhat of a death wish tbh.
Liar by Rollins Band, great bass line
First heard Rage Against on the main stage the Machine at Lollapalooza.
To your question of the Eb tuning, I guess you just have to give it to the King, B.B. King.
Pixies!!!

Have you done the 50s or 60s??????
Hearing 46 and 2 for the first time made me pick up the bass .
The 90s were amazing so let’s open the video with the song that came out three months before Y2K and then the second song came out like two months after 1989 hsh
Tim is playing a Stingray you don’t need to hit hard with it. The pre-amp in the Stingray is a work of genius.
AIC an NS2 through an SVT. That is quintessential 90s. Jason used an NS2 all over the Black Album. And Mike Star cemented that sound into history.
Jimmy Hendrix❤started tuning down first????
HOW in the actual heck did you guys not put Faith No More in this video?????????????????????????? WTF lol
Some of my Favorite Basslines from the 90s would be:
•Jerry Was a Race Car Driver- Primus
• Tommy The Cat – Primus
• American Life – Primus
• John the Fisherman – Primus
• Would? – Alice in Chains
• I Can – Skillet
• Falling Away From Me – Korn
• Mudshovel/Mushuvel – Staind
• Question? – Staind
• My Friend of Misery – Metallica
• Symphony of Destruction – Megadeth
• Just Go – Staind
• Raw – Staind (especially the breakdown part)
• Spleen – Staind
• No One’s Kind – Staind
• 4 Walls – Staind
For 90s rock bass you should really check out the Rapcore Band “every day life” and their album “disgruntled”. Great bass riffs and bass intros. The bass is really pushing their songs.
Awesome as always So good to see Ned’s mentioned … how about a U.K indie dive ?
Feels like Fugazi and Pixies should be in there
2009 Megadeth – The Right to go Insane. I love that intro.
You also need to check out the bass run that happens for the intro of Washington Is Next on their 2007 album.
I think they’re both James Lomenzo parts but man they are bad ass ????
Great content as always, guys! Could you please create a piece about Adam Yauch? He is one of the most underrated bassists, but the basslines he invented are truly iconic. His influences from punk, hardcore, jazz, funk, and hip hop are totally mind-blowing!
Another female bass player intro from the 90s thats awesome is Black Sunshine by White Zombie.
Idk, Tony Iommi? then he eventually started tuning 3 steps flat. All because of his missing fingertips.
Or maybe Hendrix. Also, sometimes Angus, theoretically ACDC songs are supposed to be standard, but they tuned by ear in the early records, and everyone would tune to each other. There are a few songs that seem to be a half step flat, or maybe just a quarter step.
Rotten apple is an acoustic bass plugged in direct to the soundboard
Man I love grunge music, but I hate playing bass with a pick lol
Maybe I need to get some finger picks. Ironically, I use a heavy pick on guitar, because I got used to it as a bass player.
I went from drums, to bass, then to guitar. Used guitar to learn piano, meticulously translating from one to the other. These days I've been focusing on vocals. I have a violin, but haven't put much into it, yet, but that's probably my next instrument.
90s kids ftw!
Only 15?
The 90’s were so good.
Spacehog – in the meantime
has a very 90’s feel, I really think it should be on some list somewhere:) and he is singing ????
5:06 that's actually quite a funny joke.
2000 teens? Music died in the late 2000s, there's nothing in the 2010s worth playing.
As was said, without Morphine this list is very strange ((((
Rotten Apples from AIC is an Warwick, not a Spector.
I love chains rage first was there best to this day nirvana is enough said nirvana not a fan of weezer a few songs same with pearl jam grung wtf more like a bunch of tree hugging hippies not even close to punk easy the best is chains musically and talent wise they are simply the best dirt is still mind blowing sit down and listen to the whole thing dam that river has some of my favorite popular rock guitar riffs of all times except tool forgot about tool I loved under toe ok chains is 2nd in 90s popular rock talent as much as I love chains I can't put them ahead of tool for talent
You guys did a great job with this BUT there needs to be part 2. Too many great songs in the 90s to condense into one video!
