Bassist: Rick (Sav) Savage
Genre: Glam Metal, Hard Rock, Pop Rock

**
Overall, straightforward. Live, sav will play w/ the guitars in the interlude, but it's not on the track.
Every 2 or 4 bars of the main riff, he'll often play the shuffled 8th notes, but I only heard one or two possible instances in the studio track (like bar 222 in the solo), but those sound more like a long quarter note in the studio track.
The Pre Chorus has the Low D (Bar 65 & 66) notes that go below a 4 strings normal range. A 5 string, or effects/pedals will solve that issue, or play up an octave as shown in the tab
Those same ones plus 67 & 68 are mostly played as quarter notes live, sometimes half notes.
The "A" notes in the Chorus are played 5 on E, but if the pickup is there (bar 74-76) he sometimes plays
them open A.
There's no bass pickup to bar 256 (Outro). Guitar/drums do, but can't ever hear or see the bass do it.
