You and I
millionaires waltz
sail away sweet sister
don't stop me now
I'm going slightly mad
These are the days of our Lives
save me (used to perfect effects)
and the obvious
You're my best friend.

Haha! Dave Mustaine is an asshole who just needs to keep his mouth shut. No way is the bass not a difficult instrument to play. He probably thinks he's some kind of musical god for being able to sloppily go "widdily widdily widdily" in every single one of his solos with little to no melody or emotional interest.
How has "I'm Going Slightly Mad" not been mentioned yet? Deaky's just going nuts, especially during the verses and the outro. Easily more groove and finesse throughout that song than Mustaine's ever been able to do in his life.
haha totally!! you know what are his solos and what ones are Marty Friedman solos when he was in the band and without looking at the booklet.. Hanger 18 has some of the best guitar work from Marty... biggest lost to Megadeth that amazing guitarist!!!
Yip I mentioned it at the end there mate "Slightly Mad" too lazy to write the whole thing out... I reckon it has the most "consistent" start to end song with bass from John and that little bass run right at the end is in away John bowing out of music... Its a lot like Cliff Burton's masterpiece Call of ktulu how his bass is predominate throughout that whole 8 min song "instrumental"

Haha yeah there is that little jam bit in the middle where John is like um not sure what to do just let Freddie and Roger jam a little with Brian chugging away..
that song also has that nice little bass run between the first and second verse? kinda more like a bridge isint it. Some live shows it is really predominate others not so and most times all the other band members are looking at him waiting for that key

Milton Keynes 82- Best version of Dragon Attack by a country mile!
Loved the heavy bass in the 2nd Wembley Show 86 especially on Tie Your Mother Down. The Crowd are jumping to the beat.

John performed a great Bass on "Flash" and instantly recognisable!

I really like his playing on A Day at the Races. He was always good but he seemed a lot more confident on that album and free to express himself.

This is simply stunning. John was indeed an awesome bassist.

A interesting quote from Dave Mustaine
A band is like a hierarchy. You have the lead singer the leader of the band then you have the Guitarist then next down you have the drummer and at the bottom you have the Bassist. Besides the bass isn't a difficult instrument to play. It's one step up from the kazoo isn't it?

I always thought Dave was primarily the rhythm guitar player in Megadeth.......while he sorta had an assortment of various lead guitarists throughout the years...............(now Marty Friedman for one, was a badass.......)

As a bassist myself I find it very hard to play John's bass lines. I can't describe his style but he's very free spirited and melodic. Whereas other bass players would go the easy way, he chooses the hard way and being very creative. You can compare him with Flea and Cliff Burton in term of creativity. althought they have totally different styles. John wasn't able to sing. But he let sang his bass instead.
My favorite one is The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke which is a masterpiece.

Listing to the bass part during and after the Guitar solo is fucken cool man more you listen out for that bass the more you appreciate the unique spin John has on the four strings.

Mate that is so true a lot of bassist out there just the same old boring for argument's sake ffffff ggggg notes through the whole song... John is like an artist and Freddie, Brian and Roger are his canvas, he free styles through the whole song.. there is an odd exception though such as hammer to fall where he sticks with the same bass notes. But to a great effect!.

Love Orion!!! Hey all you Queen members who are not huge... metal/metallica fans... listen at around 3.47 into the song Orion. The bass interlude is awesome a lot similar to John Deacons bass playing and after the first solo there is another little one... That's done on bass and it sounds very similar to John Deacon when he was holding that high bass note after the final vocal on Lap of the Gods rainbow
John wasn't able to sing. But he let sang his bass instead.
haha But was John unable to sing......? No you are to right there, he also told little stories with his bass to.
