Thanks for listening to us! Glad you got enjoyment out of that too. This channel has become my favorite bass channel and is rising the ranks in general for all of TH-cam. You rock!
You know I think I’m realizing why I luv these so much. Punk always tends to get ignored by the more musically trained, you’re honestly the first I’ve seen to really delve deep and give commentary on this genre, from the perspective of someone with a sharply trained ear and a wealth of knowledge on music theory. It’s nice to have my favourite genre finally recognized and examined closer in such a way, and with someone expressing such clear joy in the music to boot! It’s very educational as well, helps the learning process greatly when you really enjoy the material being used in the lesson…but music teachers don’t listen to punk, so these are awesome! As a musician playing guitar in multiple bands over the years, these are what I’ve been waiting for, greatly appreciated! Thank you! 🤟😊 Yes, punk rock around the late 80’s really started ramping up the production quality. Thanks to some artists starting their own record labels and really getting into the production side of things, guys like Brett Gurewitz from Bad Religion who started Epitaph records, Fat Mike of NOFX who started Fat Wreck Chords, etc. They started at the perfect time, because they caught a wave in the early 90’s when Nirvana got huge, suddenly listeners were looking for the next alternative rock group, there was demand for it, and punk rockers were growing up and finally just getting good at production. Suddenly we have Green Day, Offspring, Rancid, Sublime dominating the charts…now money is finally flowing, so these guys can REALLY get to work on increasing production quality. By the late 90’s, every punk band was sounding super good! Because there were so many good producers and record companies (still underground not major label) backing them. That’s typically referred too as the third wave of punk. First wave was the 70’s bands, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Ramones. Second was the hardcore wave, Black Flag, Dead Kennedy’s, Bad Brains, all grimey and raw with pretty poor production but tons of creativity and charm. But it was gonna be pretty short lived if punk stayed there. Then the third wave kicked off with one album; Bad Religion, Suffer. That became the blueprint for what punk could be, and suddenly punk had new life breathed into it. An explosion of new bands came from that time, one of them being Nirvana, the rest is history. The third wave saved punk rock and solidified it. Most of these bands you’re covering are from the third wave, that’s why they sound so good. That’s when punk really found its chops. To clarify though, I realize Nirvana is a grunge band not a punk band, but they all played in punk bands before forming Nirvana, and that’s the scene they grew up in. But Nirvana kicked down the door for that style of music to flourish, if they hadn’t, I don’t think punk would have had such a resurgence in the 90’s. Fat Mike says that all the time too; Nirvana was single handedly the reason his record label went from a few hundred sales, to millions of sales, making it possible for him to sign and support more bands. Anyway, that’s today’s punk history lesson, thanx again for your vids, really awesome! 🫠 Face to Face sometime soon! Scott Shiflett is a real shredder of a bass player! 🤟 He’s also the older brother of Foo Fighters lead guitar player Chris Shiflett, which is just cool. 😄
Oh man, 88 fingers is one of my favorite bands. And they're tragically underrated/unknown, I've asked a ton of people and they never even heard of em. Definitely in my top 5 punk bands for sure.
I'll keep saying it on every video, but you gotta do Bent But Not Broken by Face To Face. Scott Shiflett is a beast and the bass is constantly moving with 16th note strumming. There is also a video he made of himself playing it so that may be a good one to watch.
@@Roland-v4x for sure. I think that song in particular shows off just how incredible Scott is more than almost any other though. That picking is insane.
@@LowEndUniversity oh my goodness! I can't WAIT to see that one. Scott is the most underrated bass player in punk. And a complete shredder on guitar as well. Also the brother of Chris Shiflett from Foo Fighters.
I was in punk band in the early 2000s and played a show with Rise Against just after they put out their first album. Our drummer was playing around on the bass when Joe walked into the green room to grab something, John without missing a beat started playing the intro to 100 proof. Joe just stopped what he was doing and looked over with a smile and gave him a nod before walking back out.
@@da-ka666 The tour after was the Fat Wreck tour with The Real McKenzies and Mad Caddies. Could have been that your as well. No idea how I remember these things.
@@rbalara31 dude, I think that was it! Mad caddies definitely played as well. Holy shit! Where were you guys playing out of? I was in Line of fire in Tucson AZ.
Coolest aspect of this tune, thinking back now, is that he somehow played such lead, upper-register parts but kept that lower note pummeling the whole time. It’s really smart writing if he put the riff in D just to make that work.
Mark, I love these videos and what I really love is that I don't believe it was your intention to go the "punk" direction as hard as you have but am VERY happy that you are. You are hitting on a ton of real bangers and I love the break down and reaction. Keep up the outstanding work my man!!
I'm not finished yet but just want to say that this video is AMAZING! I Smiled right with you around the 9min mark. Just making me so happy to watch you listen to this and react!
I saw them on Punk o Rama tour in 98. They announced a car getting towed at the troc in Philly then started playing. Millencolin, vision, teen foot pole, and them
Dude, anything that Scott Shiflet from face to face does! That and add FIRECRACKER by Strung Out! Told ya we'd turn you into a punk channel!😉 there are so so many unbelievable bass players all throughout the genre
I will say it again... Lagwagon! You should do Give it back wich features their old bass player Jesse, and then you could check some newer stuff with Joe Raposo... maybe a double feature? Fun fact, almost every member of RKL now plays in Lagwagon.
I just started watching your channel a few weeks ago, and man, every single one of these punk bands featured in your suggested videos saw regular play from my speakers in high school and college. I'm loving it. I had an 88 Fingers Louie t-shirt I wore constantly until it turned into Swiss cheese.
I love your channel. I've been jammin' 88FL for 26+ years. Watching you jam to 100 Proof is the bee's knees. Your positive energy and love for your craft is inspiring. Keep the punk bass-jams goin'!
The way you can catch the value of a song on the first listen is crazy! Its weird to think that one can be subjectively better at listening to music than another.
Really love how you deep dive the tones and notes of the song . This helps me understand the process of music creation since I'm a pretty new player or well relating to the music again after many years of being away .
Hell yeah Face to Face, Disconnected! Also a little known offshoot of Choking Victim and Leftover Crack is INDK “East coast rising” killer baseline! I’m here for the punk rock immersion!! Really cool to watch you learn these songs on the fly and really appreciate them!
It makes me so happy to see that the bands I used to listen to and still do are being discovered by other generations! For most of them, the last few years have been worth it!
So glad you covered Joe Principe, defs one of my favourite bass players. I'd highly recommend checking out some Rise Against. He kills it on every track but I'd recommend Like The Angel, Blood To Bleed, Drones, or Broken Dreams inc. He really gets to shine in those particular tracks and has a killer and easily recognizable tone.
As always, love the reviews and the deeper dive into punk bass. I Gotta Suggest Mxpx-Rolling Strong. Mxpx is a punk staple and their bassplayer is sick and also sings.
Love that you listened to this. Saw 88FL on that album tour and hung with them afterwards with Good Riddance. Seeing your reactions has got me back into playing punk bass, picked up a cheap Toby/Tobias to play about on.
Best thing you could tell me! I’m happy if I inspire just one person to pick up the bass again, or even for the first time! Thank you so much for that.
You see there are tons of great players and bands in the punk genre. I’m so glad you are listening to the fans on these requests and these bands getting widespread exposure that they may not otherwise get anymore like this. Punk is such a fantastic genre that goes deeper musically and lyrically than what’s suggested on the surface. I’m glad everyone can see that now and that these videos will hopefully make people dive deeper on these bands to check out their catalogue. May Punk live forever!!! 🤘🏻
So stoked on this punk run, I’ve been going back and watching videos for bands that aren’t directly in my wheelhouse. Cant wait for Scott Shifflett. Best pick bass player around (and he is a hell of a finger style player too). Really fun stuff you’re doing. Love the positive attitude.
Dude you're awesome! Finding new punk bands for yourself and learning the different styles of how these bassist play and acknowledging the genre. Very much, a lot of respect to you sir. You got me subscribed. You should check out anything that has to to with RKL
Great one! I think you should consider early No Doubt - Oi to the world (Vandals cover). It has one of those bass lines that makes you wanna start learnin' bass and just sticks in your head. Great job! ❤🎸👀
I get a No Doubt request occasionally, and forget about some of those bass lines. I obviously know the band and maybe 4-5 songs, and would love to cover them soon!
@@LowEndUniversity This one is from their short ska-punk era, after they switched their style I've lost them. Either way Tony Kanal is a very skilled bass player with alot of ska or nonska colourful lines. Thanks for the response man! Means alot! 👀🎸❤️
Gonna pile another suggestion on the pile: "Parabola" by Jawbreaker. Chris Bauermeister is a fucking badass. He's genius on the entire "Bivouac" album.
So awesome! Also, 88FL got back together (with a few new members) and released a really great album a few years back - 2017 I think. It’s called “Thank You for Being A Friend” - some killer songs on that with some rad bass licks.
Loving the song choices! I’m so glad my friend recommended you. I’d recommend some Sublime! I’m thinking the song “Ebin “ coz I love playing that on bass
Joe still has a handful of tasty basslines in Rise Against. Some of my perosonal favorites would be Long Forgotten Sons or 1000 good intentions. Which one I would suggest you to check out, I don't know and would be curious to see what others think. Honestly, more bassists from the punk scene compared to the other ones made me go "I want to grab a bass and play my ass off". The art of "punk bass" fascinates me. The Punk Historian has a nice video on the topic.
It really has for me lately, too. Part of the reason I posted that Less Than Jake cover a few weeks ago. I just wanted to rip some fast grooves with a pick with the P Bass wide open. It’s satisfying and honestly a playing style I hadn’t really done before.
I'm going to say it again, do the Ergs their bassist Joe is insanely great uses fingers and he does runs so fast they can finish a mile in 7 minutes. Their album dork rock cork rod is a great place to start The first two tracks are my favorite and run right into each other, most of the album is like one continuous track it's incredible.
Awesome review of a great band. You definitely have to do Rise Against. All their early stuff has that same iconic high octave bass. I would recommend reviewing the unraveling, everchanging, paper wings
Seriously, when I heard the first five seconds I immediately thought to myself "Wow, this could be some Rise Against intro too.", and when I looked the band members up I noticed why. 😆
Joe is one of my favs too. When I get chance I will check out your YT page. Any chance you have a video of you playing I hate myself? I’m a beginner bass player and still can’t figure out all the notes in the fill of the Chorus. So I play a modified version of it.
@@trashcat1031 i’ll see if I can’t put up a video of me playing that song by this Sunday. I’ll do my best to make sure it’s visible and plain to see what I’m playing 🤘
Loving all the punk stuff lately. Especially the Propagandhi review. If you want to hear more of Joe's playing two Rise Against songs come to mind. The Dirt Whispered, and Endgame. Joe has always had awesome bass tones. Love that high end grindiness.
If you hadn't of mentioned Rise Against, I would have brought them up, because I was reminded of Blood to Bleed by them as soon as this started... Rumours of my Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated is my favourite song by them. Pretty cool bass lick too!
Thanks for listening to us! Glad you got enjoyment out of that too. This channel has become my favorite bass channel and is rising the ranks in general for all of TH-cam. You rock!
I try my best! That’s high praise, and means a lot. Thank you!
Come back to The Fest!
You know I think I’m realizing why I luv these so much. Punk always tends to get ignored by the more musically trained, you’re honestly the first I’ve seen to really delve deep and give commentary on this genre, from the perspective of someone with a sharply trained ear and a wealth of knowledge on music theory. It’s nice to have my favourite genre finally recognized and examined closer in such a way, and with someone expressing such clear joy in the music to boot!

Good choice,I been saying ftf also but theres too many to choose from
@@Roland-v4x for sure. I think that song in particular shows off just how incredible Scott is more than almost any other though. That picking is insane.
Scott has a hard time playing his own basslines! He is an animal!
That’s next up!! 😉

I too was in band in those days and played with them at a record store. It was us, Rise Against, The Lawrence Arms, and Give up the Ghost. Same Tour?
@@rbalara31 it honestly might have been, thought I don't remember playing with Lawrence Arms.
We did play with Give up the Ghost though, but I honestly don't remember if it was the same show. I very well may have been.
@@da-ka666 The tour after was the Fat Wreck tour with The Real McKenzies and Mad Caddies. Could have been that your as well. No idea how I remember these things.
@@rbalara31 dude, I think that was it! Mad caddies definitely played as well. Holy shit! Where were you guys playing out of? I was in Line of fire in Tucson AZ.
Band: Cigar, Song: No More Waiting
Oh yeah! Just about any Cigar song is fine for me.
Cigar is CRIMINALLY underrated
Rise Against - Like The Angel, it also has this type of bass sound joe is great .
Incredible choice
Blood to Bleed is similar too but Like the Angel is the better song so that's my vote too
Agreed. Their bassist is underrated. He’s incredible
Blood to Bleed is so good! @@Moosebones
Nice!! I’ll tally up everyone’s requests. Definitely know of RA, might have even heard a song unknowingly. I see their name a lot. Looking forward!
I'm glad you finally got to 88 fingers Louie. I still play this album all the time.
Hell yeah! Joe is amazing how he keeps the low end solid. He still kills it with Rise Against.
Coolest aspect of this tune, thinking back now, is that he somehow played such lead, upper-register parts but kept that lower note pummeling the whole time. It’s really smart writing if he put the riff in D just to make that work.
Too bad Rise Against is fake phony punk and 88 Fingers Louie ruled
Hell yeah! You’re pretty much just running through my most listened to songs on Spotify. Love it!
Glad you enjoy it!
Lagwagon Give it Back
The whole 88FL album kills. Do NoMeansNo!
Punk has some really talented bass players and songwriters.
Yes! Love 88 Fingers Louie. Saw them open for NOFX and No Use For a Name back in 97 at my first ever concert. These guys are so underrated.
At fireside?
No, it was at RKCNDY in Seattle, a cool venue that no longer exists.
Edit - After further research, I see this show actually happened on 2/21/98.
you lucky bastard, thats a hell of a line up!
What a line up.
We have all been waiting for it !! Thank you !
Hope you like it! 🥹
Loved it "ONE GIANT BASS SOLO" was great @@LowEndUniversity
Mark, I love these videos and what I really love is that I don't believe it was your intention to go the "punk" direction as hard as you have but am VERY happy that you are. You are hitting on a ton of real bangers and I love the break down and reaction. Keep up the outstanding work my man!!
Thanks so much Eric, it really means a lot!
Glad you covered Joe Principe! absolutely love this song
I'm not finished yet but just want to say that this video is AMAZING! I Smiled right with you around the 9min mark. Just making me so happy to watch you listen to this and react!
I'm so glad! 🙂
"panic" & "stop the bus" of OSKER 🥰🥰
Yes to Panic. That song is amazing!
Those guys imploded way too soon. Great song. I don't care for the 2nd version where he sings like he just isn't into it but yeah; Osker!
@@JOHNZ27 stop the bus haves the own in bassline 😎👍
@@Ty-138 osker rules 🤘😎
I saw them on Punk o Rama tour in 98. They announced a car getting towed at the troc in Philly then started playing. Millencolin, vision, teen foot pole, and them
So glad you covered them!! So many great punk bass players that don't get recognized.
Joe Principe was a big inspiration for me picking up a bass guitar in the first place, I love his tone and his effortless playing.
Dude, anything that Scott Shiflet from face to face does! That and add FIRECRACKER by Strung Out! Told ya we'd turn you into a punk channel!😉 there are so so many unbelievable bass players all throughout the genre
I was just listening to Strung Out Firecracker yesterday too!!! That also definitely has a killer bass
@davidferrand878 Jim Cherry was a badass! Chris, though, is f'n sick! Plus, they're all really nice guys, so that's a bonus 😆
Jim Cherry probably one of my favorite punk bassists
Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues is such an amazing album!
I will say it again... Lagwagon! You should do Give it back wich features their old bass player Jesse, and then you could check some newer stuff with Joe Raposo... maybe a double feature?
Fun fact, almost every member of RKL now plays in Lagwagon.
Give it back is a solid choice, that song rips
🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺yes!!
PLEASE DO “GIVE IT BACK” BY LAGWAGON!!!!
Gawd yes, thank you for listening to our request! This was food to see for sure. We thought you'd definitely like this.
You guys make this easy, and never miss! So grateful to be introduced to all these killer bands and songs. Thank you!!!! 🥹🙏🏼
Scott Shiflett from Face to Face is a killer bassist. Listen to Disappointed or Bent But Not Broken
Bent But Not Broken, +1!
bent but not broken +2@@B3D5X
I just started watching your channel a few weeks ago, and man, every single one of these punk bands featured in your suggested videos saw regular play from my speakers in high school and college. I'm loving it. I had an 88 Fingers Louie t-shirt I wore constantly until it turned into Swiss cheese.
This 88 Fingers Louie throwback has me on a 90s punk kick now, so I have to suggest "Soothing" by Satanic Surfers. Classic.
Yeah, he really needs to get into Satanic Surfers, hard to choose a track, but soothing is a ripper!
Hero of our time!
I love your channel. I've been jammin' 88FL for 26+ years. Watching you jam to 100 Proof is the bee's knees. Your positive energy and love for your craft is inspiring. Keep the punk bass-jams goin'!
Wow, thanks! Really appreciate you!!
The way you can catch the value of a song on the first listen is crazy! Its weird to think that one can be subjectively better at listening to music than another.
I taught this to my buddy on bass and he's forever been my boy since then. 20 years roughly.
Been watching your videos and was about to comment that this song had to be your next video! Glad to see it had been massively requested.
Love it!! Hope you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
You have such a wonderful ear and it is quite the joy to watch you absorb some of these punk heavy hitters. Thanks
Thank you kindly!
Really love how you deep dive the tones and notes of the song . This helps me understand the process of music creation since I'm a pretty new player or well relating to the music again after many years of being away .
This has become my favourite channel on TH-cam. I love the song choices and hearing your takes on all of my favourite bands.
🙏🏼
this was rad. love 88. Do Firecracker by Strung Out
Hell yeah Face to Face, Disconnected! Also a little known offshoot of Choking Victim and Leftover Crack is INDK “East coast rising” killer baseline! I’m here for the punk rock immersion!! Really cool to watch you learn these songs on the fly and really appreciate them!
It makes me so happy to see that the bands I used to listen to and still do are being discovered by other generations! For most of them, the last few years have been worth it!
This channel is getting a lot better every week congrats dude this channel f-n ROCKS
Never thought I would see a video like this on 88. Cool!
Punk rock taking over!
The only music I’ve listened to consistently over the last thirty years.
So glad you covered Joe Principe, defs one of my favourite bass players. I'd highly recommend checking out some Rise Against. He kills it on every track but I'd recommend Like The Angel, Blood To Bleed, Drones, or Broken Dreams inc. He really gets to shine in those particular tracks and has a killer and easily recognizable tone.
Came to post Blood To Bleed. You can hear the same techniques in both songs, albeit in a different key. No surprise coming from the same bassist.
As always, love the reviews and the deeper dive into punk bass. I Gotta Suggest Mxpx-Rolling Strong. Mxpx is a punk staple and their bassplayer is sick and also sings.
That song will forever remember me some of the best years of my life. That whole album, and the one before it...88 are sublime.
Waiting patiently for the instrumental reaction 🙏🤣
Great job again dude love it
I'm glad you had the same face of shock from Joe Principe's intro that I had the first time
Love that you listened to this. Saw 88FL on that album tour and hung with them afterwards with Good Riddance.
Seeing your reactions has got me back into playing punk bass, picked up a cheap Toby/Tobias to play about on.
Best thing you could tell me! I’m happy if I inspire just one person to pick up the bass again, or even for the first time! Thank you so much for that.

Really fun stuff you’re doing. Love the positive attitude.

These punk videos have just been so great. I want to request Alkaline Trio "Goodbye Forever"
I'd love to see some Alkaline Trio. Emma would also be a good one.
you have been covering my favourite bands lately, Lawrence Arms and BoySetsFire both have some cool bass stuff as well.
Boysetsfire is in my top 3 bands ever!!
Man, I love this band and this album. they were the first band that got me into playing bass. So many great memories with this band.

Was literally coming in here to say this one
ive posted this song on other videos too lol
@@poppunknerd182
rufioooo! or maybe road to recovery by them?
Not a bad one, but still kinda standard bass run. Thank you for reminding me of that song. I love their like a prayer cover
About pick in punk. Pure Tortex red 05 orange 06 max yellow 073 is what to go for if you want to go through a set with any strings left at the end.
I have been meaning to mention this song, so thank you! its a belter!!
Damn was just thinking you NEEDED to do this song. Such an amazing album, their Live anniversary album is great too.
This is one of those goated punk songs. Lead bass is the best style for my ear
Man, thanks for doing this! It was about time to get someone to review skate punk bass reefs and more. Plenty of great bands you should check BigWig
Gonna pile another suggestion on the pile: "Parabola" by Jawbreaker. Chris Bauermeister is a fucking badass. He's genius on the entire "Bivouac" album.
Nice analysis of an interesting bass part, enjoyed watching that.
So awesome! Also, 88FL got back together (with a few new members) and released a really great album a few years back - 2017 I think. It’s called “Thank You for Being A Friend” - some killer songs on that with some rad bass licks.
wow this hits me in the memories.
100 proof is a song that shines for his sincerity and emotion...

I love watching you discover stuff I love.❤❤❤
Killing it with these bands!!
Awesome review of a great band. You definitely have to do Rise Against. All their early stuff has that same iconic high octave bass. I would recommend reviewing the unraveling, everchanging, paper wings
One of my favorite punk rock songs! Chicago Represent!
This has been a top 10 album for me since it cane out in the 90s. Love 88.
The way you just pick up what's going on and figure it out in seconds boggles my mind.
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 loved this dude! Solid song choice from the community
Thanks man!!
I haven't listened to 88 Fingers in years! Rise Against is epic too!
Seriously, when I heard the first five seconds I immediately thought to myself "Wow, this could be some Rise Against intro too.", and when I looked the band members up I noticed why. 😆
Yes! Now check out Won't Stay Late by these guys!!!
Great vid about one of my favourite and influential players . Give shellac a try !
I second this
YES! For Rise Against do "like the angel"
Or anything from the unraveling or rpm. Love those albums front to back🎉
You need to check TILT - Libel !! Sick punk song...sick bassline...
Dan andriano-alkaline trio, Jesse buglione- Lagwagon, Scot Shifflet-face to face
I second that! ALKALINE TRIO for sure!
I seen these guys in my home town in the 90’s. Little town in Canada. 🤘
damn I love 88 fingers louie. this whole album rips, I had no idea Joe from RA was in this band.
88 Fingers Louie is absolutely one of my favorite bands!
dude your choices are choice! Earned my subscribe!
Appreciate the sub - means a lot! Cheers!
Joe Principe is one of my favorite bass players. Huuuuge influence on my playing. Love this song.
Joe is one of my favs too. When I get chance I will check out your YT page. Any chance you have a video of you playing I hate myself? I’m a beginner bass player and still can’t figure out all the notes in the fill of the Chorus. So I play a modified version of it.
@@trashcat1031 i’ll see if I can’t put up a video of me playing that song by this Sunday. I’ll do my best to make sure it’s visible and plain to see what I’m playing 🤘
Loving all the punk stuff lately. Especially the Propagandhi review.
If you want to hear more of Joe's playing two Rise Against songs come to mind. The Dirt Whispered, and Endgame.
Joe has always had awesome bass tones. Love that high end grindiness.
Such a great song and band!
I was waiting for 88
Love it
If you hadn't of mentioned Rise Against, I would have brought them up, because I was reminded of Blood to Bleed by them as soon as this started... Rumours of my Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated is my favourite song by them. Pretty cool bass lick too!
This band is great. One of the first punk bands I ever heard.
Alive and Well by Rise Against, you’ll love the intro
Dead To Me - Little Brother. Incredible song.
Yes!!
Chicago's own! Rad bunch of dudes.
Rise against the unraveling is the best 1000 good intentions
