'Hard to say I'm sorry', that deep bass I hear in the background (that I never heard before), is that an obo?
Edit, I looked up Oboes and I don't think that's it. Now I think I'm hearing two different instruments, one comes in right at the beginning and sounds like a very deep bass, the other which I want to identify comes in at exactly 18 seconds and sounds like brass. French horn?
If you're refering to the bass underneath the piano solo at the beginning, that's a bowed double bass. 18 seconds into the song you hear that same bowed double bass (or it might be a cello sound; I'm not to familar with the repective registers of those two instruments.). It's definitely two low stringed instruments in both instances. I'll bet that it's actually a synthesized double bass, but it's a double bass sound. After the intro bass, I think 280's got it for the rest of the bass in the piece.
Yea, I'd have to hear it. I'm not even sure I got the right song in my head.
My favorite low note is in ( believe it or not) Avril Levigne's (sp?) tune that starts
"Chill out what you (something
) for,
It's all been done before." etc.
I can't remember the title. But in the chorus there's this real low note that sounds like it's below the register of the standard electric bass. I haven't checked it against anything to see exactly what note it is though. Either it's tuned down or it's got an extra low string. I'm guessing it's a D.
Anyhoo, I ramble...
5 and 6 string basses are relatively common now, as is down-tuning up to 2 whole steps...
Thanks for the responses guys! Stringed instruments, cello had seemed to be something I was thinking of but?? You can tell I'm not a musician
Hours of listening to and studying classical music has paid off.

Actually, if you read popular literature these days, regardless of accolades on a message board, it should have improved your math and critical thinkinking skills )
Seriously, classical music does have a mathematical formula doesn't it?
Ironically, the reason I had "oboe" in my mind at the start of the thread was because of an album I listened to as a small child that featured classical music, and something about small ducks being threatened by some scary something or other, that was portrayed by a deep, bass, brass sound, that I had thoughtwas described as an oboe on the album jacket.
Is that an extra guitarist of GnR that I'm forgetting, or are they laying down studio tracks that didn't get played in concert?
Aside from Slash and Izzy, I don't remember anyone else. It's extremely common for bands to lay down extra guitar tracks in the studio that don't get played live.
