Title: Simon's best bass line?
Post by: dsanchez on August 19, 2014, 15:37:48
Continuing with the topic about Simon's third place in a top bassists list (http://curefans.com/curenews/simon-gallup/). What's your favorite Cure bass line?

This must be his finest:

The Cure - Last dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flPvsybvwQo#)

(still searching in my brain database for another, cause I am sure I am missing one)

Some very cool choices there!  :smth023

I would like to add "Just like heaven".

Well there are so many which could be added: Fascination Street, Sinking, Figurehead etc. etc.!

Definitely! I usually forget how cool they are (my first thought was Fascination Street, as you could imagine. :P) I just had to take a look through the Cure discography to remember those cool bass riffs.

Also i'd like to add It's Over, Torture, and Burn. Just outstanding stuff.
