I'd love anything and everything off the 2000 record. The whole album is so aggressive and hard hitting and it's like the bass is leading the onslaught.
This was the song that inspired me to play bass 20 something years ago. I was just a young kid listening to pop punk music, then this came on some like mix cd I bought off of a friend, it wasn't even the intro or chorus that got me, just how meaty the tone is for the few bars after the initial intro had me hooked. I remember going out, begging my parents to buy me Lets Go, and "Out comes the wolves" and shortly after, I got my first P Bass, and i've been playing your bass lines ever since. Thank you Matt for inspiring me to not only play bass, but to express myself with it.
As a kid I had this track on a mix CD and man it had such a spooky sound to me. CD also had a tiger army song so I kind of linked them in my brain lol The bass on this sets the whole tone of the track and is essentially lead bass. No one else does it like you Mr Freeman. Another one of the reasons I picked up a bass!
Killer bass intro setups the entire song perfectly, so catchy ! Got the Radio 7" with the Blitz cover on it when it dropped ( wish Blitz were still around RIP Nidge )
I’m pretty sure I bought Let’s Go in early ‘95 and had my first bass by the end of the year. I don’t believe that’s coincidental. Thanks so much for your creativity. It still inspires me 30 years later.
Thank you, great teacher Matt ! This song is also impactful and cool🎶 I want to play this song but it's too difficult. Matt's bass lines require a lot of technique and grip strength. Matt is truly amazing✨
Such a banger! Been a fav' of mine since I heard it for the first time as 14year old teen. The way the bass & guitars interact here still amazes to this day 👌
Hell yeah Matt!!!!Picked up this rad double 10” in San Luis Obispo at Boo Boo Records the 1st weekend it came out,and it still shreds up my old turntable just right 🎼☠️🎉👌
Love these, Matt! Your lines really shaped me as a musician and that really shaped me as a person. Thank you for everything. Keep these coming, I love watching!
It would be cool if you did some slowed down tutorials on some of your more complicated bass lines (Detroit, for example). I always love watching musicians break down songs so I can play along and learn them.
Remember only ever learning the intro at the time 😂 People wouldn’t be able to tab lines like that back then when the music came out. That was the days modems still made noises.
I can't get the smile off my face right now. I've always known Rancid's Bass was on another level but this is my first time actually watching it happen. Matt is amazing!!!
I had forgotten about this song and its great lines, then I heard little joe's rendition of it on the Mike and his Uke channel's cover and been practising that intro lick since. Me and my tiny hands are not quite there yet. Great video!
Loving all of the videos! It would be cool to have some that you sing lead/a verse on too. Watching you play the lines while singing would be really impressive
I started bass because I was charmed about your colourful bass lines. I wonder if you were a painter how all of this lines would be transposed in a painting. All the best! ❤
Learned the bass playing along with Let's go and Out come the wolves... i've been in love with your style eversince❤ ciuld you do Hooligans please? Greetings from the Netherlands. I've still got your pick l, you gave me at the Melkweg in the mid 90's❤
Ain´t got enough thumbs for all the cool videos you´re posting Matt! Rancid wwas a HUGE influence on this young street punk growing up in the 90´s are I still love youre records. REmember Hultsfred festival in Sweden, with TIm on a stool on stage in the rain ? I do
This was amazing, like always man! I don't know how interesting it would be for others, but I think a video or as part of a video where you talk about your singing. Like how this style came about and stuff like that. Otherwise, I take whatever I can get from this channel.
Love this song and these videos!! I would love to hear a bit more info about the songs after you play them. How they came together, how you came up with your bass line, etc. Keep up the great work on these!
Watching these has been fantastic, cheers. Would love to see more on your signature Squier as it's been my main bass for years. The thing is definitely punching above it's weight for the price I paid.
These are so goddamn fun to watch. I was thinking, to go along with the history of your gear and style etc., could you maybe do one about your vocal style?
Best bass channel on the tube. Personally, is love to see the entirety of .. And Out Come The Wolves end up on this channel at some point. You go back to specific points in your life when you're playing through these songs, especially in the video for Operation Ivy's "Bombshell". If love some insight as to what you're removing in those moments.
Thank you so much for sharing these songs with us! It’s also so inspiring to see you trying to keep up with your own genius bass lines. Because of you i picked up the bass and because of these videos I have a hard time putting it down. Oh also Axiom

Another classic bass line, still sounding great 30 years later
of course I'd find you here, you gotta play this one now
My favorite Rancid song on my favorite Rancid record.
Back down, no back down comin' up...
The best bass player of all time! 🙌❤️🇨🇦
Thanks Matt. "You Don’t Care Nothin" would be great too
I'd love anything and everything off the 2000 record. The whole album is so aggressive and hard hitting and it's like the bass is leading the onslaught.
that smile on your face when you play is awesome. says ecerything!

GAWD I've always loved that walking line in the chorus.
You are truly the greatest bassist ever. How about Django from Indestructible?
Your Squier P bass was my first real bass, thank you for being you
Rad Matt !
More is more with your Basslines !
Would love to see you play ,Tropical London and we are all waiting to see you come back Down Under ,
please do the Maxwell Murder solo lesson!
As a kid I had this track on a mix CD and man it had such a spooky sound to me. CD also had a tiger army song so I kind of linked them in my brain lol

Matt. The first note I heard you play had me hooked. 30 years and still kickn it out ❤
This video prompted me to listen to this album again, been a little bit too long
Killer bass intro setups the entire song perfectly, so catchy ! Got the Radio 7" with the Blitz cover on it when it dropped ( wish Blitz were still around RIP Nidge )
LETTSSSS GGOOOOOO!!!! Thanks so much love it my dude!!! You’re having a blast can’t wait to see you guys here in Texas in September!
Jaded would make my year. Thanks again, you play better than the 88' Oakland A's!
I'd love to see Whirlwind or Olympia WA next
Wow. Unbelievable talent
I’m pretty sure I bought Let’s Go in early ‘95 and had my first bass by the end of the year. I don’t believe that’s coincidental. Thanks so much for your creativity. It still inspires me 30 years later.
Who’s all going to the saviors tour just to see rancid?😂
100%
wish I could see green day and rancid in Europe... last time they both came here I couldnt
Yep
I’m going for them and The Linda Linda’s
And SP
Please do something in the world today!! Thanks so much for the channel
Was listening to it just few days ago. Again. And again.❤
Just look how happy this dude is playing his bass after all of these years.
Fuck yeah!!!! Turn it up and dance everyone!!!!!
Please never stop this bass bunker and keep bringing this amazing content! That tone is brilliant!
More OpIvy please!
Please do Axiom!!!
So much better to watch this up close than the battleground of the pit - where I usually am watching from!!!
My big sister got the let's go CD at target like 97. I've always loved this album.
Matts wry little smile and wistful gaze while playing these older tracks are priceless.
Thank you, great teacher Matt !
This song is also impactful and cool🎶
I want to play this song but it's too difficult. Matt's bass lines require a lot of technique and grip strength.
Matt is truly amazing✨
One of my most loved ones!!!!!
Ah no... wait a minute, I have too many favorites!! 😅
OK, so whatever comes next will be a banger!
Man, I marked a day and hour in my calendar. Every thursday round 22.00 EET I get some minutes of pure joy! Thank you! ❤
Hell yeah
Awesome! So glad we get these videos now. Me 20 years ago would pee my pants.
Now I pee em for other reasons. : (
This is one of the harder songs to learn because of how fast it is, props to you and Lars it’s a great song man
These videos just get better and better dude! DSG is such a classic!
Such a banger! Been a fav' of mine since I heard it for the first time as 14year old teen. The way the bass & guitars interact here still amazes to this day 👌
Great!!!!!!!!!!
Man, you really went nuts on these early tracks
Really glad we get these videos now. Me 20 years ago would pee my pants.
I love this shit. I love Matt Freeman.
Sono riuscito ad incontrarti due volte nella mia vita...sogno realizzato
I would love to see a session of you tracking in the studio a Rancid song.
Hell yeah Matt!!!!Picked up this rad double 10” in San Luis Obispo at Boo Boo Records the 1st weekend it came out,and it still shreds up my old turntable just right 🎼☠️🎉👌
Big fan of your work. Saw you guys live at the Washington Square down here in Miami Beach, back in 1993.
That riff is dope
Love these, Matt! Your lines really shaped me as a musician and that really shaped me as a person. Thank you for everything. Keep these coming, I love watching!
Let's GO!
I would like to see More!
Matt, you inspire me. I’m loving these videos, thank you so much for making and sharing these.
With you guys from the start! Would love to see Gunshot!
It would be cool if you did some slowed down tutorials on some of your more complicated bass lines (Detroit, for example). I always love watching musicians break down songs so I can play along and learn them.
Remember only ever learning the intro at the time 😂 People wouldn’t be able to tab lines like that back then when the music came out. That was the days modems still made noises.
Matt, you’re the best! Such a nostalgic song! Takes me back to smoky, filthy punk shows of the day! Cheers!
Would love to see you do 100 years. You're my inspiration dude, awesome to see these vids
Love watching these!!!
The GOAT
Radio! Radio! Radio! Radio! Radio! Radiooioo!
I can't get the smile off my face right now. I've always known Rancid's Bass was on another level but this is my first time actually watching it happen. Matt is amazing!!!
One of my favorite bass lines in a song by Rancid. A seriously bad ass sound
1998 would be cool to see/hear you play
I had forgotten about this song and its great lines, then I heard little joe's rendition of it on the Mike and his Uke channel's cover and been practising that intro lick since. Me and my tiny hands are not quite there yet. Great video!
Super awesome. Love this song
Loving all of the videos! It would be cool to have some that you sing lead/a verse on too. Watching you play the lines while singing would be really impressive
One of my favorites

Great videos man! I would love to see Crane Fist. Life won’t wait is one of my favorite albums ever
Love this song and these videos!! I would love to hear a bit more info about the songs after you play them. How they came together, how you came up with your bass line, etc. Keep up the great work on these!
One of my favorites songs and the one that reminds me my first girlfriend ❤
You are the greatest!
Watching these has been fantastic, cheers. Would love to see more on your signature Squier as it's been my main bass for years. The thing is definitely punching above it's weight for the price I paid.

More stuff from life won’t wait please
Animosity please!
Matt, you're a real inspiration for me. This is a real pleasure for eyes and ears.
Could you do Bad Town by Op Ivy?
Love it - was playing that album only this morning and was then looking to see if you’d done a Bass Bunker on this tune. Love that intro.
Perfect, what else 😁
These are so goddamn fun to watch. I was thinking, to go along with the history of your gear and style etc., could you maybe do one about your vocal style?
Fun! Saw you guys in Louisville last year.
G.O.A.T!!!!!!!!!
Best bass channel on the tube.

YOU'RE A MACHINE!!! KILLED IT (AS ALWAYS)
Love these vids. There is no wasted movement in your playing, seems really efficient.
incredible song and awesome video matt as always. St Mary or New Orleans would be nice ones for bass
I love these videos, it's like Matt setting homework every week for us bass players. How about 'Black Lung'?
I'd love to hear 1998 or lady Liberty!
Sos el mejor de todos!!! Abrazo grande ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing these songs with us! It’s also so inspiring to see you trying to keep up with your own genius bass lines. Because of you i picked up the bass and because of these videos I have a hard time putting it down. Oh also Axiom
