Motley Tunes is a weekly segment featuring an assortment of 2-4 songs I find worth sharing.
Two notes - that's all it took Deacon & Queen to compose this iconic riff that has cool written all over it. Vanilla Ice shamelessly sampled the bassline for his 'Ice Ice Baby' crap.
Freddie Mercury once said 'F*** You' to a packed Wembley stadium while performing this song (2:04), only to send the damned audience cheering, clapping and howling wildly ;)
The lineup for this week graces 3 songs with uber-cool bass work.
1. Under Pressure by Queen (and David Bowie)

2. Always Like This by Bombay Bicycle Club
Mellow, snuggly and emotionally raw, even more so cuz of its bassline. My favourite BBC track so far.
PS. They're having a gig in Singapore next Tuesday, and guess who can't make it because he's got no $$$ :(
3. For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica
On the other end of the spectrum, this thrash gem by Metallica features some crazy bass work. Particularly enamoured by this live performance of the song, where Rob Trujillo prances around like an animal while working his sick bass.
There you go, songs of differing intensities, all featured here because of their superb basslines.
