  • The Clash. "Should I Stay or Should I Go. (skip to 1:25 to start) The bass line plays an important role in this song. In the verse, Paul's line helps the song to swing and groove in the slower tempo, while in the chorus his high runs bring an energy that the guitars can't bring on their own. Distortion on the bass is the icing on the cake. There is an isolated bass track here: • Clash - Should I Stay ...
    Thank you for stopping by.

    This song introduced me to punk rock. I listened to nothing else for the next 6 years straight. Thank you for addressing the distortion.

      Thanks Jake.. I spend a pretty good amount of time trying to get the sound balanced so that you can hear both the song, and my bass and the difference between. It's not easy, but comments like yours make me feel stoked to be doing it. Appreciate it.

    Awesome Murph!. I've played along with that track on guitar a gazillion times and without that bass line it really lacks. A bit off topic but, I started noticing an underlying island sound, if you will, after 14:59. Which I love and really came out in later songs. Was that from you and Stan noodling or were they group sessions?.

    • @BassWithMurf
      @BassWithMurf  4 года назад +1

      Good question. I think that some of the more songwriter/quieter harmonies and ideas and riffs and stuff just started coming out naturally at that time.. when you make recordings and then look back, bands often go from being heavier to lighter, then back to heavy then maybe somewhere else after that.. it's natural to just sort of wander.. and Stan and Rod grew up on The Beach Boys, and they were a big influence on them.. but you can't tell that with "Mean Machine" so when the time came.. some of those instincts just flow out.. But I would say, after all Sugar Ray has done.. it would be time for a hard album again. I don't care if you're getting older.. you could still make some great rock songs.. but yeah I hope that answered your question..

      @@BassWithMurf, Totally. Change is inevitable and you guys did it better than anyone. It would be great to hear an album going a bit heavier and just with your guys ability to go hard and fast but still maintain a structure with melodic hooks would be killer to see what would culminate after all of the years of experience. Thanks Murphy!.

    Paul Simonon for the winonon.
    "The genius is that it's not pristine." Yes yes yes! I hate it when a piece of music is so polished and pitch-corrected and quantized that it doesn't feel like it was made by human beings. I can't even listen to the radio today, because that's the vibe I get from everything. I want music to be living and breathing, not robotic. Sorry for the rant.

    • @BassWithMurf
      @BassWithMurf  4 года назад +1

      I'm with you. Human feel is a good thing. I think some artists have it today. But yes, too many productions over-qauntize everything.. putting every beat on every line, and auto correcting the pitch and just taking the life out of a lot of music
