Once again the bass stays with the guitars. when it doesn't play riffs it keeps the eight-notes pumping on the root. Predictable, yes. Boring, perhaps. Appropriate, I think so. Although I would rather see Gene rip it up and kick some ass on a lot of these tracks, this does work and as such it is fine.
