    The perfect encapsulation of the whole Bass Bunker vibe is when Matt Freeman tells you that even he had a hard time learning Matt Freeman's bass line!

    This is exactly what you should show. The parts of the song, some background on how the track for the record came together and then how it’s played. This is amazing.

    I hope people appreciate how special it is for Matt Freeman to be making this kind of content. How many legendary musicians are doing this kind of thing, much less with this kind of authenticity? Musicians and fans alike are going to benefit and enjoy these play along/breakdowns for years to come. Thanks Matt!

    When the bass line's so sick you wanna give it healthcare.

    The explanation of the riff's composition in this video was really interesting. This channel has made me appreciate Rancid songs I haven't heard in a while and may have forgot. I think the Life Won't Wait album is Rancid's compositional and arrangement masterpiece. That's interesting to hear it was recorded so quickly.

    Would never have guessed the hammer on on the dead note. It really makes a difference on the feel of the song. This is one of my favorite Rancid bass lines ever. You are the reason that I (try to) play bass Matt, thank you so much!

    Huge fan of this song. Huge fan of the guy who wrote the bass lines. I also like the term hammer-on dead note to describe what you do mid chorus. I incorporate several of those into my own lines.

  • @Will-423
    @Will-423 27 дней назад +3

    This was the first Rancid album I bought. Love the album and the song. Your channel made me pick up my bass, get it setup, and start playing after a 12 year break. I’m forever grateful. Thank you so much. I’ve been practicing St. Mary as I I knock off the rust. I would love to see it on the channel.

    Black Lung brings out some memories bro. Myself & a good friend figured out that bassline on our guitars in 1998…. We didn’t own a bass so we made due. When we tried to play it on a friends bass later, we realized how crazy of a bass line it was because of how wide bass frets are 😂😂😂. Much love from SW Louisiana dude.

    @a_ionuin 27 дней назад

    One of my favourites and I love seeing the jazz out again. Really liking the format of going through the lines before you play them - you have such a creative approach and its great to see it in slow motion.
    I'm going to have to revise how I play this song though! 😊

  • @mandalorthedeaf1237
    @mandalorthedeaf1237 25 дней назад

    And good thing you look after your back and switched to the chair. ;)

    I love this, I naturally tend to try and emphasize the kick or vocal melody on the bass. Such a cool line. Of all the rancid songs this is the most like how I play with the movements. Appreciate the breakdown.

    Dude, thank you Matt. Congrats on your journey of becoming a streamer. Your video and audio quality have continued to get better, your breakdowns of the song before playing the song, your little intro video, it’s all amazing, you just continue to improve. No surprise from the greatest bass player who’s ever lived. I’m 37, been listening to Rancid since I was 15, before cell phones or RUclips. I seriously can’t believe I get to live in a time where I get to watch shit like this. Thank you so much.

    THIS!!! This is how you should do every video!!! Breakdown each bass part, tell us a little bit about each part and then do a play through.
    Seriously, this video taught me what I’ve been doing right and what I’ve been doing wrong when I play this song, so it was REALLY helpful.

    I've listened to this song so many times over the years. And of course I've heard the bassline, but now I truly appreciate how brilliant and effort going into it. That is why it's so great seeing them in action here in the basement. I love the added little info bits about creating the lines, stuff like that is so interesting to me. Life Won't Wait is such a great record and it's fascinating you worked quick on it, relatively speaking I'm sure.
