13 'Punkiest' Bass Intros

- The punk bass intro, the indication that it's all about to go down. These are not all strictly 'punk', some are post-punk, post-hardcore, pop-punk etc. Also I'm trying out a new Squier P-Bass that I recently purchased!

I love it when bass players use drone notes, or even play chords. Needless to say, Peter Hook is my favorite. Great video as always!
Thanks! Yeah the drone notes give it atmosphere.
A picked P bass with fresh as hell strings playing punk standards is what I needed today.
Fugazi - Waiting Room is one of my favourite intro’s of all time.
Face to Face - Walk The Walk is another great punk intro
Thanks. I'll check it out :)
@@bloxsy_Cheap Vodka - Acid Bath is from a metal song but the bass intro is very punk
Also, Ha Ha Ha - Flipper is a good punk bass intro
God is a man by face to face is one rocker for sure
Also, if you’re open to pop punk, Longview
@@grungekid1539 don't forget the Matt Riddle era.... the first 3 records, i suggest Velocity off of Big Choice
"Love Buzz" was originally written and recorded by Shocking Blue in 1969, and Nirvana's cover isn't too different from theirs. Great playing!
Kurt gave it an urgency not heard on the original.
The guitar is much more angular too.
Dee Dee doin the 1 2 3 4!!!! Is the most punk intro on any bass 😂
Yessss.
So bright sound!
She’s Lost Control by Peter Hook is especially good
I'm getting a bass next month and after watching this I'm excited AF
Bass guitars are fun. Enjoy!
Man, why has it never occurred to me that six pack has such a good bass intro? Weird. I’ve heard it hundreds of times, yet here we are.

if I'm remembering right, Rawlins told a story about seeing black flag before he joins (the original version of the song had Dez on vocals), and Dukowski open the gig in New York and making a whole bunch of racket and bass and then they launch into this.
Matt Freeman is so underrated. Just think how many great bass lines he provided
Journey to the End is such a fun song to play.
As soon as I saw the video title, this one popped into my head
love the fact you included stranglers
My favorite youtube guitarist! Bloxsy doesnt shill for cheap guitar companies, pedal companies or cheap gimmicky paraphernalia. He just plays great fucking music.
To be fair, most of the people doing that depend on youtube for money. I'm assuming this person has a job outside youtube.
Psycho killer is an awesome bass line.
Rock on Tina. 😊
I saw this comment and I WAS EAGERLY WAITING for this to come up, was happy to hear it, thank you and im a huge talking heads fan!!! Love it
I never thought much of Tina till I started playing Bass. Mad respect now !!!!!
Fugazi's Waiting Room is one of my favorite riffs to play. It's always nice seeing someone else play bass with a pick. I've only been playing 6 months and I still have yet to really meet others who do the same.
The Waiting Room intro is my go-to. It’s the first thing I play whenever I try a new bass… and often just the first thing I play whenever I pick up a bass.
Same here!
i can say as a bass player these intros are awesome a lot of these lines are what inspired me to start
Waiting Room is like my favorite song right now! I was so happy to see it!
Good choice Skippy
Very cool! You included some of the ones I thought of when I saw the title. Here’s a few others I like:
* “Guns of brixton”- the Clash.
* “Death Disco” (aka Swan Lake)- P.I.L.
* “Bro Hymn”- Pennywise.
* “Smell the Bacon (What’s with you)- Agnostic Front/Madball (this one was later borrowed by AF associate Peter Steele on “Black No. 1”, not that that’s punk; other good ones by AF are “last warning” and “United blood”).
Cheers!
Bro Hymn is such a great anthem song. Guns Of Brixton too. London Calling is one of my all-time favorite albums.
Green Day had a bunch but a few underrated ones imo J.A.R. , Stuart & the Ave, and the super epic intro to Panic Song .... also NOFX stickin in my eye
Great riff collection! One that could be included for your next edition would be MDC's John Wayne.
Absolutely my thought!!!👍🙌✌️
John Wayne was a nazi! 😂
That bass sounds so good
I got to see fIREHOSE live one night in Riverside, CA. Mike Watt was flyin' the flannel and a full beard. It was SO LOUD it was at the threshold of pain. I loved every second of it.
great selection of intros!! some of my favourite bands, favourite songs, favourite intros, favourite bass sounds. thanks!
Thank you very much!
If you ever do a part two to this, consider The Damned "Love Song"
Gonna add Neat Neat Neat since we’re talking about The Damned
This^
To my ears, that's the best punk bass intro of ALL TIME!
Was expecting this to be first..
Algy ward....yeah.
I for sure agree with Guy, you need a Matt Riddle riff in there. IMO that guy was a total unsung hero, for one I love his playing... always present, always buisy, but always holding down the bottom end and filling out the mix. For another, Between F2F, Pully, and NUFAN he's been on so many really strong recordings that one has to assume his contributions go beyond just playing bass.
Awesome selection! "Ether" and "She's Lost Control" are both favorites of mine.
Oh my god, you nailed the attitude perfectly for each song. Great video, as always!
Thanks man
Great selection of tunes, man! Killer playing! That tone, too! *Chef's kiss*
I instantly thought of Six Pack when I saw the title and there it was! I always love your song choice 🤘🤘
Nice! Im thinking of Where Eagles Dare. I have no idea how to describe early Misfits bass sound but I like it.
Mike watt is a fantastic bass player his work with Minutemen and FirehOse is iconic
Nice! You included my all-time personal favorite, Journey to the End of the East Bay!
Quality playing and great choice of tunes!
That Squire sounds epic ❤️
Thanks mate
Crass "Containinational Power" is killer, as the slow intro doesn't change over the whole song.
Love all of these, I think Big Black's Deep Six would fit in here nicely
I knew Gang of Four had to be in there. All excellent choices here!
Great job man! Saw Black Flag last Sunday...kick ass show!
excellent classic P sound!
That is an epic lineup of bass lines! Tony Lombardo is probably my favorite due to the influence he had on future bass players 😎
Klaus Flouride excellent bassist.
Peaches & Six Pack are my favorite bass lines.
Cool!! I know it's not a punk band but "It's so easy" by Guns n' Roses has a great bass intro, and the song itself has a punk vibe. Probably cause Duff McKagan came from that scene back in Seattle
YASSSS finally someone mention GNR! It's so easy, easy, when everybody's trynna please me babyyy! 🤘
Btw how is GNR not a punk band?
@@blackman5867 they came out of the Sunset Strip and the Rainbow and the glam scene... It's a tough sell, but Appetite is regarded as a great album by most people. It has its punk moments. I love it top to bottom
Minutemen ,Fugazi ,Black Flag talking heads, best groove, dead kennedys, joy division, rancid best musical arrangement, gang of four and nirvana descendents just in the middle. Minor threat out of step 😊
Mike Watt is such a strange bass player. Every single line he’s ever played would never ever occur to me to play
great selections man!
Thanks man!
Great tone mate. 🤘
So stoked you got the minutemen in
Excellent as always. Myage is my favorite punk bass line ever. "Last One Out of Liberty City" by Less than Jake and "Typhoons" by Royal Blood are also incredible punk bass lines.
As a bass-first punk band, we obviously absolutely love this. Nailed every note!
Warhead by UK Subs was an iconic bass line intro at the time, Public Image by PIL as well. Could go on all day I suppose, there are so many.
Great riffs - i love the stranglers 💯❤️🎸🎶
wonderful tone my guy
Myage is the first thing I thought of. Nice mix!
god that tone for holiday in cambodia was spot on, was literally waiting for the guitar and drums to kick in.
Superb bass tone and excellent bass playing!!!!
Thank you very much!
I love your bass tone!
Thank you!
Enjoyable, thank you. Just for future reference, the most punk rock bass intro is Ain't No Feeble Bastard by Discharge ... it just is. However, Klaus Fluoride's my favourite bassist so you had me smiling right from the start.
I love bass guitar 💛💛💛
goddamn that bass sounds sick
Nice video man! I'd love to see a video of Minutemen, Descendents, or Osees songs. Keep up the good work.
It's a nice touch you ended Waiting room intro exactly where it ends in the song
You played the first thing that came into my head and you played it first.
Very good! The new Squier P bass sounds very nice too!
Thank you sir. Much appreciated!
I’ve been watching your videos for a while and this is definitely my favorite so far! Definitely inspired me to pick up my p bass. Keep the pick guard you have. Cheers!
Thanks mate!
Six packs bass setting you up for the thudding drums and that screech of the guitar. What a tune
Surprised to see some Gang of Four love, hell yeah.
Nice!!!
Nice job, thank you for this video. Some very cool bass line. I also like "Carousel" from blink-182 in the middle of 90'.
Great vid! Great you put some Minutemen in there, some amazing bass stuff by Mike Watt that anyone into bass should check out. I always admired punk bass players like these ones I guess because I just can't really play bass with a pick myself.
dope playing! great tone as well🔥🔥🔥 dont forget sticking in my eye - nofx and part III(live) - bad religion 🙏🙏
Neat neat neat by The Damned
Yeah I feel I should have included that as so many people have mentioned it too. It’s a great bass intro
It would have been awesome if you had played "Longview" by Green Day and "Neat neat neat" by The Damned.
Nice video though, I liked it a lot.
Thank you. Yeah, those are great bass intros
Except Longview is introduced with drums, not bass
I loved the video. Wanted to add that Vampire State Building by Rudimentary Peni would’ve been a nice inclusion.
new bass? looks awesome man
Yeah thanks dude
good tone!
Was waiting for "Aren't You Hungry" by M.O.D. That is the quintessential punk bass intro to me!
Awesome as usual my man. Suggestion for part 2? Keep Hanging On by Husker Du
Stickin' in my eye by NOFX!! And the Rancid split version omg!
Neat neat neat!
Glad to see Watt in there. Had a feeling you would
🤘 Nice pick for the minute men/Firehose I dig 😎👍
That is some authentic punk rock bass playing! Well done.
Love that Rancid song
Fun house had me screaming the intro and playing raunchy air sax
I love your stuff, do have your katana patches posted anywhere?
Well the bass sound for this video is using a GarageBand amp sim. For Katana, I never saved any of the sounds.
man, that fugazi waiting room bassline ...... what's the bass you're playing ? it's lovely
Thank you. It's a Squier Classic Vibe Precision Bass
I love the bass line to 6 pack
Was hoping to see Guns of Brixton in there
Nice profile picture
@@thekivster NJF gang
The damned- love song is my fave probably
Glad to see the minutemen on here, watt had some awesome lines. There are some great live recordings of glory of man where watt is really slapping that thing
no longview??
That song starts with drums, and has done since 1994.
@@alotofmilesfromhomeAnd so does "She's Lost Control"
Longview starts with drums, also it’s kinda overrated tbh
I have the same colour p bass. I got it from my late uncle since I was 12. It's a 1973 with the chrome cover on the pick ups. I'm now 55 and I've took great care of it. I've played in a few bad in high-school and college. Great memories. You should try flat windings strings, it sounds good and you won't hear any slipping noises.
Sounds like you have a nice bass there! I was actually wondering about flat wounds so I might give it a try.
Awesome ❤😊
Lots of descending!🤘🏽
Great! I was going to snarl at you for omissions, but you finally got to Stranglers and JD How about the crazy opening to No More Heroes?
You missed Love Song by The Damned, Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus and Warhead by UK Subs.
Sounds really good. What kind of amp setup do you have?
Nice choices. Dave Alexander was like the Stooges' secret weapon
Rob Wright of NoMeansNo has the best punk rock bass lines, with the best P bass/Marshall tone at the same time, also while singing.
Nomeansno are unique and robs bass playing is extraordinary. Great shout
The tone on funhouse is great
Awesome song choices, and an even more stellar bass tone, dude! I was kind of surprised at the lack of Operation Ivy and NOFX, but still a good selection of tunes nonetheless. This is what I listened to throughout elementary, middle, and high school, alongside post-punk and indie.
