Favourite Hoooky Bassline? — Forum Archive

4 Jul 2005, 15:10

Sorry if this has been done before. My two choices are from the same single, Ceremony (especially the "watching forever.." bit) and IALP.

the last minute or so of regret, SLC, the end of TPK (watching it in the video--love it!).

4 Jul 2005, 17:16

Perfect Kiss the Village Someone Like You Waiting For the sirens' call Deadbeat

I can't think of many of Revenge's song titles, but I love a lot of those bass lines too!

4 Jul 2005, 17:16

The JD stuff is pretty catchy...like "Transmission."

5 Jul 2005, 01:46

The run-out bassline on the end of Fine Time, where the sheep are bleating, makes pleasant listening.

I really like what he did slap-bang in the middle of the Gewn Stefani thing recently too.

And the opening of WDYWFM is up there with Age of Consent!

5 Jul 2005, 04:54

All in all, TPK.

There are too many 'honorouble mentions' to list them here - you've all heard them and know what they are.

I have to admit that my mobile answerphone message starts with the opening bass riff from WDYWFM though ;)

5 Jul 2005, 04:57

Difficult to pick just one: Age of Consent, end of BLT, end of Subculture, Waiting for the sirens call...

5 Jul 2005, 05:16

Regret. Especially the solo middle eight bit. And the alternative last minute that he always does live. Totally different from the recorded version.

5 Jul 2005, 05:21

Confusion!

and a lot of the stuff on One True Passion v.2.

Hooky's bass lines could have done with a higher volume level on the current album...

5 Jul 2005, 06:50

SUNRISE has the best Hooky Bass lines

5 Jul 2005, 07:25

"End of the world" on Monaco's second album is pretty amazing... not the best song, but the bass solo in it is simply gooooooood!

5 Jul 2005, 07:51

Temptation - simple but sublime. and The Village.

5 Jul 2005, 07:58

i almost forgot hooky's brilliant section on the low-life BLT. how dare i?

5 Jul 2005, 08:55

the 12" of TPK - sums up all that's great about Hooky - makes an average song wonderful

round & round. hooky's playing on the reading 93 performance is fantastic on that song.

I know, I know, look - i never liked the lowlife version - it finishes just as it feels like it should be getting started & then its followed by 2 far better songs IMHO in PFD & Sunrise.
On the other hand those last 3 minutes on the 12" are pure class - the whole lot feels perfect together & Hooky's bass is the best part of it

5 Jul 2005, 11:36

What do you want from me?

used this song as my wake up call. can't get that bassline out of my head.

Nice call, Hannett of the Apes.

Let's Go (original version)

6 Jul 2005, 05:26

No-one's mentioned Face Up?

YSF is great as is AIIWIW, Sunrise and more recently GIAUE Mac Quayle version!

Favourite is / always will be AGE OF CONSENT

If only they'd play the bastard at T in the Park, I'd even sacrifice Temptation to hear it just one more time!!!

6 Jul 2005, 05:49

As It Is When It Was. My favorite hands down....

6 Jul 2005, 06:31

"Crystal", "24 Hours", "State Of Shock (Revenge)", "Temptation" among others...

6 Jul 2005, 07:57

Age of Consent Face Up Sunrise WFTSC Temptation Lonesome Tonight As it is When it Was Leave Me Alone

6 Jul 2005, 08:41

The beginning...well, ALL of What Do You Want From Me is out-freaking-standing...

that's the one I pick...

6 Jul 2005, 09:17

Sunrise for kicking off..

The finish to TPK is fantastic

6 Jul 2005, 10:30

tpk is my favorite.

6 Jul 2005, 15:39

I need a 24hr long loop of the end of Regret. (.) :clap:

6 Jul 2005, 18:31

Heard the intro to Transmission by JD, that's what got me, err, hooked on the band, so that's always been at the top for me.

Hearing Age Of Consent on the radio when PC&L came out was another thrill, that intro had me reaching to turn up the volume knob right away.

6 Jul 2005, 19:49

BLT, especially one of the remixes, I believe by Shep Pettibone , where the bass is mixed way to the forefront.

6 Jul 2005, 22:58

I seriously have to say the Jetstream intro bass is really cool. Sorry, I know you guys really hate that song. The Perfect Kiss, Doubts Even Here, I Told You So and Sunrise are very catchy as well though.

6 Jul 2005, 23:10

in addition to those above...I'm a huge fan of the bass in Run

6 Jul 2005, 23:25

Lonesome Tonight Run As It IS When It Was

6 Jul 2005, 23:49

subculture

7 Jul 2005, 12:55

In no particular order: Sedona (monaco music for pleasure) In a lonely place Age of consent Round & Round (i had a mix on CD which had hooky playing solo then the rest kicking in again, but lost it in a drunken stupor !) WFTSC Run Lonesome tonight Regret

Too many to mention realy, cos for me Hooky is the best bit of NO, but it wouldn't be the same without Barney & Steve (and Phil/Gill of course).

8 Jul 2005, 04:33

This Time Of Night. Absolutely sublime.

Also Round & Round (especially Electronic Ecstasy live 93 version).

Perfect Kiss.

Temptation (especially the part when Barneys going "Bolts from above hit the people down below....").

And loads more. In fact Hooky hardly does a duff riff. Sometimes its a bit too overpowering (AIWWIW) or Way of Life. But hes awesome!

8 Jul 2005, 09:07

Blue Monday (all) Transmission (all) Ceremony (all) Crystal (his solo in advanced promo) WDYWFM (best inro ever) Regret (love it and its a shame that is to low)

thats for the moment

8 Jul 2005, 11:46

Age Of Consent closly followed by The Perfect Kiss

8 Jul 2005, 12:06
