Depends on the Day of the week but it's either Life won't wait or RV/R2000 as my favorite rancid album. I prefer harder punk to Ska punk but Life won't wait amazing. At first i only kinda liked Let's Go, didn't like OCTW, but loved LWW so FN much i had to go into work late so that the moment the record store opened I could get V/2000. That album made me buy 1/1993 and relisten to LG and OCTW and I couldn't figure out what I missed the first time that I didn't listen to them/appreciate them more.
Great EP. I love the bass bunker. Saw Rancid for 5 bucks with Avail, Pink Lincolns, Bad Genes, and Anti Flag on Pitt Campues in 94 , and Matt and Tim were both incredibly nice. Still one of my favorite shows 30 years later.
@@MattFreemansBassBunker yeah and you played all of Rancid 93 and most of let's go, and Avail played all of dixie. That was the last show in that venue. It was nonsmoking and some people lit an american flag on fire, so no more punk rock was allowed there.
I got that 7 inch mailorer in '92 and we just wore it out... I always wondered why it was never rereleased and finally bought a copy again this year. Stoked it's getting re-released, I love the record, and it was cool falling in love with it again this year.
I flew all the way from Calgary to San Fran to see Cocksparrer 40th anniversary Rancid 20th anniversary. Went with my two brothers and one wife. We all got the hoodies, the soccer shirts, and the split 7". When my older brother died people wore rancid shirts to his funeral and my dad wore his hoodie.
You 4 played rejected those two shows. During the rejected echo at end of chorus it sounded like you said rejected followed one at a time by Tim Lars Branden to mimic the echo. It was amazing and should be a great addition to live set.
Salvation, Ghetto Box, Black and Blue, Name, 7 Years Down, Maxwell Murder, Roots Radicals, Time Bomb, Lock Step and Gone, Junkie Man, Daily City Train, Disorder and Disarray, The Way I Feel, Out of Control. There are heaps more, this is my short list lol. Thank you Matt for making these videos, dream come true!
When I was a young teen I heard "Time Bomb" on the radio, so I went to my local record store to buy the album. Sadly, "... And Out Come the Wolves" had sold out. All they had was this weird looking album called "Demos from the Pit". I remembered thinking even at the time that it was not an official release. Anyway, this exact version on that record.
Late 92 friend picked this up from Vinyl Solution in HB, a few of us friends wore this 7 inch out and this song was my favorite! Lots of Pepsi was drank during this time also exposed us to Screw 32 if I remember correctly. Thank you so much Matt much appreciated for your dedication to the older music you guys put out.
That's awesome these songs are seeing the light of day again. Idle Hands' chorus has been on my list of coolest damn bass lines for many years. Thanks Matt!
I really appreciate every video you do; thank you man. I'd love to see more technique videos. I've started playing with moving my picking hand up and down the body at different parts of songs and am having a shit ton of fun with the results. Give us more!
That was was the first 7 inch I ever collected or ordered (by snail mail, us old Gen Xers) from Lookout. That was the one that had me hooked on you guys. Love the channel Matt!
@Matt, keep ‘em coming! I love hearing your bass lines. If you want to venture a bit, I’d love to hear you make up some bass lines to some other bands who tend to just ‘motor’ more. Like, what would a Matt Freeman bass line sound like if he’d been in the Ramones? Give us a wild walking bass line for Rockaway Beach!!
I found out about a year ago that Rockaway Beach is the highest charting song the Ramones did. As well, I'd like to see his take on SNFU painful reminder. It's such a simple bass line, but it is such a strong part of the song.
The gear thing is coming. I’m waiting for Rancid to go on tour so I can talk about my live rig. I’m going to do some more about the Basses I have also. Thanks for watching.
The bottle was the first Rancid record I heard. My neighbour had it and I used to go over to his house to listen to it. I found at a record store by chance a couple of years ago and was so happy. Feels nice to own the original pressing now that there’s a re-release 😄 Battering ram is my personal favourite from that record, would love to see you do that.
Are there plans for it to be out on cd? I’m a big cd collector and I’ve been wanting this and some strung out stuff on cd. Also great video I’m glad you’re doing this a lot of people (including me) are very happy to be able to watch this and possibly even learn
This is so good. I love that first 7" so much. I have it on vinyl from the 7" discography boxset, but as soon as I heard you were rereleasing it, I was quick to pre-order it so I get it with the original sleeve. Could you please do one of my favourite Rancid songs Battering Ram. And Idle Hands would be a neat treat too. Keep it up Matt, we really appreciate it!
Question about you playing with your fingers (right hand). Noticed in the beginning of the Fall Back Down video you played a few note gallop with your fingers (though it does 'sound' like it was played with a pick, same for the CD)... video hocus pocus, the real deal ? Are there any Rancid songs you play with your fingers ? Thanks for the channel, you got a good thing going on here.
Good question. Okay , so on the record it’s all pick. I did this for constancy. Over the years I’ve developed this thing I do where I play some stuff live with my fingers for effect. It’s a technique I got from Rock a Billy guitarist like Brian Setzer Stray Cats . There are some songs I’ve played on record with my fingers. I did a video for Holiday Sunrise a while back you can find. It all depends on what the song needs. I’m mostly a pick guy though. Thanks for watching
I WANNA GO BOOT I WANNA GO BLAAAAADE !!!! You guys should just play the first ep on this GD tour and thats it haha . Hopefully we will get more of this ep making its way into the set . Any plans to do headlining gigs between dates on the GD tour or anything like that ? Maybe a short small club run with Charger opening 😁
Love these - would love to see you do a theory / lesson videos. I use yout lines as an influence for my guitar solos. My band does honor is all we know. Bass player only does the root notes.
To quote fat mike (or as close as i can) from the notes of BYO split 3. I didnt want to do the split so i told Sean (of Youth Brigade/ BYO) I'd only it if Rancid was the other side.l thinking tim would say no. He came back he woukd ibly do it if was all covers. I tried to get out of it a second time by saying that I can't play matts bass lines. Sean said, you dont have to play like matt, play the basslines however you want.
When you think you have the greatest comment ever, but you forget what it is cause out of no where Rancid is on South Park playing 10 seconds of "Brad Logan" on south park.
God I love that 7 inch. Are you guys ever going to do anything with all the songs on that demos from put bootleg? I love that version of rats in the hallway and it’s a cool insight to how your songs kinda evolved. Everything you guys do is amazing but that early stuff had so much energy and feeling bleed through. Back in 94 or 95 I got my hands on a vhs with a bunch of live opiv shows. Maybes from that first tour and some local shows? But you got to see unity go from one song to what it became. Very cool. It had your last show and but it also had a private last show on it too if I remember correctly and a rancid show before Lars joined. Anyway enough blabbering and nostalgia saw this pop up on Spotify can’t wait to be able to listen in my car. Thanks again for all music and sorry for constantly being on here writing shit no one cares about.
You should make lesson oriented content that are breakdowns/walkthroughs of the bass lines. Most of us are merely humans that need to see things played more slowly to learn. 😃
Killer as always, Mr.Freeman! Would you be down to give us a rundown on some amp and pedals you like to use? Would love some insight on the tone! Keep it up brother
Hey Matt, Thank you for your efforts. Really appreciate it! Would you be interested in going way back to the Basic Radio days and working through the baseline to the song Meat Market? Also maybe some Downfall - New Regulations? Generator - Inner City Holocaust? We love what you do for us & thank you from the depths of our souls. I figured you are putting up the old stuff so now would be a good time to ask you. Thanx again in advance for your consideration of this request idea.
Hey Matt, hope you see this, do you think you could play Lock Step and Gone from and out come the wolves? Would really appreciate it I’m trying to learn it and would be cool if I could see how you do it ❤
Oh and 1 more thing I held a grudge against Lars for awhile because he showed up and you sang less. Love your style of singing it really fits well with this era of rancid.
I used to have that 7in way back when, I'd like to see talk about how you found your singing voice I mentioned this before maybe you'll see this comment 😁

2000!!
Agreed! - the people
No they don't.
No Matt. We really appreciate it.
Axiom!!
I said this last week… let’s do it, Matt!
Great EP. I love the bass bunker. Saw Rancid for 5 bucks with Avail, Pink Lincolns, Bad Genes, and Anti Flag on Pitt Campues in 94 , and Matt and Tim were both incredibly nice. Still one of my favorite shows 30 years later.
I remember that show! What a great line up!
Damn. Rancid, Avail and the Pink Lincoln's? What a show. I caught Avail back in 1998 or 1999 in Detroit. I didn't know them til then. Blew me back.
@@MattFreemansBassBunker yeah and you played all of Rancid 93 and most of let's go, and Avail played all of dixie. That was the last show in that venue. It was nonsmoking and some people lit an american flag on fire, so no more punk rock was allowed there.
Yes! This rules so much. That opening line on Idle Hands…whoa baby.
This is a great song. Matts vocals from this era are sound so fucking good.
I love to see Matt active and posting!
He is the reason I am a bass player. Thank you Matt for all the inspiration!
I got that 7 inch mailorer in '92 and we just wore it out... I always wondered why it was never rereleased and finally bought a copy again this year. Stoked it's getting re-released, I love the record, and it was cool falling in love with it again this year.

BADASS. Matt Freeman rips so hard!
This has become my favorite yt alert. Nihilism would be a sick play through.
I don't even have a record player anymore but I still hold my punk vinyls close to my heart and the Lookout 7" is my favorite!
Greatest 1st 7 inch eva, that and grimple..
Salvation, Ghetto Box, Black and Blue, Name, 7 Years Down, Maxwell Murder, Roots Radicals, Time Bomb, Lock Step and Gone, Junkie Man, Daily City Train, Disorder and Disarray, The Way I Feel, Out of Control. There are heaps more, this is my short list lol. Thank you Matt for making these videos, dream come true!
This is like when you ask someone thier three favorite rancid songs and 15 minutes later they're still reeling off names...
G.O.A.T.
When I was a young teen I heard "Time Bomb" on the radio, so I went to my local record store to buy the album. Sadly, "... And Out Come the Wolves" had sold out. All they had was this weird looking album called "Demos from the Pit". I remembered thinking even at the time that it was not an official release. Anyway, this exact version on that record.
So f'n crazy that if you every rancid album start to finish chronologically that Time Bomb is the first song played with Ska strumming.
This channel sustains me. Thank you so much Matt for being our older brother all these years!
I love Matt's bass playing and your voice🎸🎤 and I also love the atmosphere of early songs🎶
This is my favorite rancid release!! Thank you for playing it !!!
Late 92 friend picked this up from Vinyl Solution in HB, a few of us friends wore this 7 inch out and this song was my favorite! Lots of Pepsi was drank during this time also exposed us to Screw 32 if I remember correctly. Thank you so much Matt much appreciated for your dedication to the older music you guys put out.
Thank you Mr. Freeman. I Hope i could see Holiday Sunrise bass playthrough someday
IDLE HANDS!!!!!!
GOAT
My favorite RUclips channel by far. Thanks Matt.
Thanks for showing us how it's done right!
I'd love to see even more Operation Ivy songs.
Avenues and alleyways
I wanna go poop, I wanna go pee, wanna go poop, wanna go pee
I wanna go poop, I wanna go peeeeeeee
Im glad im not the only one who’s had these words in the back of my mind for 30 years
Love all the deep cuts Matt! So many underrated incredible songs in your catalog 👊
Happy to see you play anything just keep em coming Cheers Matt
Too rad Matt,another great ep of yours I’ve had since the weekend it was released,that i got in San Luis Obispo back in 92’!!!!🎉🎼👌
That's awesome these songs are seeing the light of day again. Idle Hands' chorus has been on my list of coolest damn bass lines for many years. Thanks Matt!
Look forward to this every week! Always nice to see an artist enjoy their craft. Awesome stuff thanks, Matt. Would love to hear I'm not the only one.
I ain't gonna I ain't listened to much 4ancid. But I love this dudes vibe while he play his own music.
That deep tone is 💪🔥
Thanks . I’ve been experimenting with different set up’s. That was my old Fender TV combo
I really appreciate every video you do; thank you man. I'd love to see more technique videos. I've started playing with moving my picking hand up and down the body at different parts of songs and am having a shit ton of fun with the results. Give us more!

So great! 🔥 could watch these videos the whole day
@Matt, keep ‘em coming! I love hearing your bass lines. If you want to venture a bit, I’d love to hear you make up some bass lines to some other bands who tend to just ‘motor’ more. Like, what would a Matt Freeman bass line sound like if he’d been in the Ramones? Give us a wild walking bass line for Rockaway Beach!!
I thought that too. The bass bits in kids are united (give em boot2) and the brews off BYO split are just ways to show that your Matt F'n Freeman.
I found out about a year ago that Rockaway Beach is the highest charting song the Ramones did.
As well, I'd like to see his take on SNFU painful reminder. It's such a simple bass line, but it is such a strong part of the song.
I'd love to hear the Protest Song, on that big thing behind you. ☺
Animosity!
Full Rancid 93 and 2000! Specially RIgged on a fix
Yes! Been hoping you’d do stuff off the 7”. One of my favorite records of all time. Would love to see you play the rest of it.
Grazie a te Matt ,sei il numero uno
I WANNAAAA GO BLAAAAEYYY HEYYY - DE
Wonderful
Love the channel. Happy to hear about gear talk or see more tunes being played. Got any deep cuts that you love but don't get to play enough?
The gear thing is coming. I’m waiting for Rancid to go on tour so I can talk about my live rig. I’m going to do some more about the Basses I have also. Thanks for watching.
great to hear some of your vocals in the channel, great video as always!! New Orleans would be nice but as well as anyone you´d pick
Love this ep, love these bass lines

Always a beast, my friend!!! Keep em coming!!!
Are there plans for it to be out on cd? I’m a big cd collector and I’ve been wanting this and some strung out stuff on cd.
Also great video I’m glad you’re doing this a lot of people (including me) are very happy to be able to watch this and possibly even learn
I once made a rancid mix cd first half (2/3rds) all the songs with your best bass lines and the other 3rd where you're singing.
Fuck yeah. such nostalgia. Gonna go skate. Thanks Matt. I mean Mr Freeman. It's these little things that make me stick around.
This is so good. I love that first 7" so much. I have it on vinyl from the 7" discography boxset, but as soon as I heard you were rereleasing it, I was quick to pre-order it so I get it with the original sleeve.

Red Hot Moon!
Would love to hear Arrested in Shanghai, and/or one of your favorite X songs!
I would love to hear your song, Black Derby Jacket
Also Black & Blue
so good! 🔥🔥🔥
I'd love to see Cocktails!
Great choice 🔥
Cuando rancid era rancid 😋

How many rancid songs do you remember? Do you have to practice them to remember so many songs?
I remember allot but on some of the deep cuts I have to figure out what I did. It all come back pretty quick. Thanks
Love these - would love to see you do a theory / lesson videos. I use yout lines as an influence for my guitar solos. My band does honor is all we know. Bass player only does the root notes.
But in all fairness he was only playing for a month and I had to teach him bass basics and learn the solos myself.
To quote fat mike (or as close as i can) from the notes of BYO split 3. I didnt want to do the split so i told Sean (of Youth Brigade/ BYO) I'd only it if Rancid was the other side.l thinking tim would say no. He came back he woukd ibly do it if was all covers.

Thank you Matt!!!! Love every vid you post!!!! Enjoy learning every song.. you make it look so easy!!! But it's really not!!!😅
This is sweet!! Would be really stoked to see a Downfall song!!!
You should make lesson oriented content that are breakdowns/walkthroughs of the bass lines. Most of us are merely humans that need to see things played more slowly to learn. 😃
I’m working on that. I’ve got to get better at editing these things. Thanks for watching
@@MattFreemansBassBunker can’t wait! Editing is tough. These videos are great. Wish more musicians did this!
Awesomeeeeeee 😮😮
So I wanted to heart it and I got it
Thought about requesting this one yesterday, powerful stuff as always! Could you show us Climb In (The Bottle)? 🙏🙏
Hey matt, fucking loving everything you're putting out here. I'm going to be annoying and keep requesting black derby jacket until you finally do it!
Мэтт, отлично, что выложили этот альбом! Может подумаете, чтобы записи Downfall тоже опубликовать?
Idle Hands next!
Killer as always, Mr.Freeman! Would you be down to give us a rundown on some amp and pedals you like to use? Would love some insight on the tone! Keep it up brother
I’m going to do that this summer when Rancid is on tour. I’ll do my live rig.
Hey Matt,
Thank you for your efforts.
Really appreciate it!
Would you be interested in going way back to the Basic Radio days and working through the baseline to the song Meat Market?
Also maybe some Downfall - New Regulations?
Generator - Inner City Holocaust?
We love what you do for us & thank you from the depths of our souls.
I figured you are putting up the old stuff so now would be a good time to ask you.
Thanx again in advance for your consideration of this request idea.
Thank Matt, great playing as usual! Is there a real story behind this song? Also, please play Idle Hands, I love the bass in the chorus!!! Thanks!
My son picked this up at a flea market for $7 bux about 3 years ago.
Do Adina next 💪
Eddie the Butcher or White Knuckle Ride
I would like to see the lines of Salvation and if i fall back down
Hey Matt, hope you see this, do you think you could play Lock Step and Gone from and out come the wolves? Would really appreciate it I’m trying to learn it and would be cool if I could see how you do it ❤
Have you done Black Lung yet? I learned that back in highschool, still dont think i got it right
Maxwell murder!
Axiom
Matt will you be doing Adina? Or any Auntie Christ?
Adina is a good choice. I never thought about doing Auntichrist .
First! ❤
First to actually Comment.
Oh and 1 more thing I held a grudge against Lars for awhile because he showed up and you sang less. Love your style of singing it really fits well with this era of rancid.
Want to see blacklisted
I used to have that 7in way back when, I'd like to see talk about how you found your singing voice I mentioned this before maybe you'll see this comment 😁
I remember that. I’m not sure how I found it. It just sort of came out. Thanks for watching
@@MattFreemansBassBunker thanks 👍, and now I know, and knowing is half the battle 👊
Rejected
Oh dear Matt... you know and we know that everyone is waiting for ADINA ;)
Shoulda been "i'm not the only one" it's much better song than this crap
