I lent my buddy my bass guitar so he could learn how to play just so he could play that riff. He never learned and I never got the guitar back. Haha.

I see what you mean. It does set the tone for the whole track. It's simple alternate picking but it's so sustained it's almost ominous.

Meta Music Mondays - Bass, dirty stinking bass!

Intro to Filter's "Hey Man Nice Shot" is a really simple but incredible bass line because it sets a brooding mood for what is a dark and heavy themed song.
