Favorite Queen Bass line

Those are good, but mine are:

The Millionaire Waltz
Your My Best Friend
Bicicle Race
The Prophet's Song

Hmmmmmm. You're My Best Friend. I used to think that had a good bass line, but in the video John plays a keyboard, and in A Night At The Opera it says John- electric keyboard. Isn't the instrument sounding like a bass the electric keyboard?

A question for bassists from a guy who never had a bass guitar in his hands. Is it possible to play the bass line of Invisible man live? This is doubled, right?

Hmm. I'm not sure if it's doubled or not but as a bassist myself I assure you...IT IS COMPLICATED!!! I've tried many many times to play it but i just can't keep up with John at all.
And by the way let me add more that i've thought of.
'39-Great Double Bass part.
A Kind Of Magic
Fat Bottomed Girls
Bicycle Race-Another difficult one!!

You`re My Best Friend has electric keyboard AND bass. In the live versions you can see John playing the wonderful bass parts since Fred takes care of the piano

mmmmm...... I would say.....
Killer Queen
Play The Game
Don't Stop Me Now
We Are The Champions
Crazy Little Thing Called Love

I also want to add Dog With A Bone to my list.

I think that has a terrific bass line.

Ahhhhhh I see

I think John is a good bassplayer with great basslines. But I think he's doing not much in some songs when I see a video of queen. Examples : Somebody to love , play the game, I'm in love with my car and friends will be friends. There are also awsome basslines.
My favourite :

- The Millionaire Waltz
- Good old fashioned lover boy
- Grazy little thing called love
- Bicycle race
- Don't try suicide
- Dragon attack
- Misfire
- Bohemian Rhapsody (the heavy part of the song)
- The march of the black queen
- The Fairy Feller's Master-stroke
- My fairy king
- Liar
- I'm going Slidly Mad

AAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF TTTHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMM

ESPECIALLY ALL DEAD ALL DEAD :-)

The Millionaire Waltz
Dragon Attack
Invisible Man
Breakthru

Magic, Misfire and I just love that bit in Liar where he cracks in nice and hard. Just to be slightly controversial deliberately didn't go for AOBTD-due to an element of alleged plaguarism by some band called Chic...made me laugh coz they then went and topped the black charts in good ol' USA.
