    You have a really in depth knowledge of a certain era of Punk Rock that resonates with my High-School era so much! So I guess Late 90's/early 2000's. But to a point In feel like you could probably write an entire book about it. Keep sharing this with us! I find it fascinating to explore a period of music that at the time, was written off as overly simplistic, but clearly has so much intention behind it

    • @SugarpillProd

    I had a roommate in the 90s that played bass in a punk band. If you looked at anywhere but his hands he was barely moving. But, he would have to change out the strings about three times every show.

    I think some of my favorite bands are NoMeansNo, Victims Family and Rhythm Pigs. All of them can loosely be described as "Jazz Punk" (at least for some songs) I think. Kepone is interesting too, but I wouldn't say they belong to my favorites. And all of them have some very fun bass lines, although there aren't many tabs out there, many tabs that are out there are wrong and I suck at hearing stuff and translating it into actually playing it.
    And yes, I kinda had to think about Jazz Punk because you mentioned "Walking Bass" and my first reaction was "So the rumors are true... punk is just lower class jazz".

    • @Kuhmuhnistische_Partei
      @Kuhmuhnistische_Partei Месяц назад

      But I also like more simple punk bands with simple, repetitive bass lines. Like check out Slime - Deutschland musss sterben (It means "Germany must die", but for the context, one of the nazi slogans in the Third Reich was "Germany has to live, even if we have to die (for it)" which was coined by Heinrich Lersch, an enthusiastic fanboy of the NSDAP after whom multiple schools and streets are still named. So the Slime song is basically the antithesis of it, "Germany must die, so we can live").

      No I'm serious! Thank you Mr. Boomer, now I finally understand what real punk is. It's just the same 5 English bands from the 70's (even though punk didn't start there but whoops, better just forget that) and nothing more. It never evolved or expanded beyond its simple beginning. It always remained one rigid, uniform sound that everyone had better conform to, or else the dreaded "you don't listen to real punk" accusation could be hurled at you. My eyes are finally open, so thank you!
