- 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.
"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.
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
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
Matt Freeman is so underrated. Just think how many great bass lines he provided
love the fact you included stranglers
I'm getting a bass next month and after watching this I'm excited AF
Bass guitars are fun. Enjoy!
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.
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 !!!!!
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
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.
same@@return2sender791
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.
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.
Great selection of tunes, man! Killer playing! That tone, too! *Chef's kiss*
Waiting Room is like my favorite song right now! I was so happy to see it!
Good choice Skippy
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.
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!
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! 😂
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
Nice! Im thinking of Where Eagles Dare. I have no idea how to describe early Misfits bass sound but I like it.
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.
Crass "Containinational Power" is killer, as the slow intro doesn't change over the whole song.
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 selection of intros!! some of my favourite bands, favourite songs, favourite intros, favourite bass sounds. thanks!
Thank you very much!
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
That bass sounds so good
I instantly thought of Six Pack when I saw the title and there it was! I always love your song choice 🤘🤘
i can say as a bass player these intros are awesome a lot of these lines are what inspired me to start
Oh my god, you nailed the attitude perfectly for each song. Great video, as always!
Thanks man
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 😊
Nice! You included my all-time personal favorite, Journey to the End of the East Bay!
Great riffs - i love the stranglers 💯❤️🎸🎶
Great job man! Saw Black Flag last Sunday...kick ass show!
Quality playing and great choice of tunes!
That Squire sounds epic ❤️
Thanks mate
Awesome selection! "Ether" and "She's Lost Control" are both favorites of mine.
Love all of these, I think Big Black's Deep Six would fit in here nicely
excellent classic P sound!
I knew Gang of Four had to be in there. All excellent choices here!
Nice job, thank you for this video. Some very cool bass line. I also like "Carousel" from blink-182 in the middle of 90'.
That is an epic lineup of bass lines! Tony Lombardo is probably my favorite due to the influence he had on future bass players 😎
Great tone mate. 🤘
great selections man!
Thanks man!
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.
Superb bass tone and excellent bass playing!!!!
Thank you very much!
god that tone for holiday in cambodia was spot on, was literally waiting for the guitar and drums to kick in.
So stoked you got the minutemen in
wonderful tone my guy
Myage is the first thing I thought of. Nice mix!
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 💛💛💛
I love your bass tone!
Thank you!
Six packs bass setting you up for the thudding drums and that screech of the guitar. What a tune
Very good! The new Squier P bass sounds very nice too!
Thank you sir. Much appreciated!
Mike watt is a fantastic bass player his work with Minutemen and FirehOse is iconic
It's a nice touch you ended Waiting room intro exactly where it ends in the song
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.
Nice video man! I'd love to see a video of Minutemen, Descendents, or Osees songs. Keep up the good work.
As a bass-first punk band, we obviously absolutely love this. Nailed every note!
You missed Love Song by The Damned, Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus and Warhead by UK Subs.
Stickin' in my eye by NOFX!! And the Rancid split version omg!
dope playing! great tone as well🔥🔥🔥 dont forget sticking in my eye - nofx and part III(live) - bad religion 🙏🙏
good tone!
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?
Surprised to see some Gang of Four love, hell yeah.
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.
I loved the video. Wanted to add that Vampire State Building by Rudimentary Peni would’ve been a nice inclusion.
You played the first thing that came into my head and you played it first.
🤘 Nice pick for the minute men/Firehose I dig 😎👍
Nice!!!
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.
The tone on funhouse is great
new bass? looks awesome man
Yeah thanks dude
Awesome as usual my man. Suggestion for part 2? Keep Hanging On by Husker Du
Some really great choices on here, notably the Stooges, the DK's, and the Talking Heads, but hey--where the heck is "Where Eagles Dare"?! Jerry Only may not be the greatest bassist out there, but that ugly wall of death fuzz roar sound of his was and still is a huge part of the classic Misfits sound. Alongside Glenn's voice, of course, but the bottom line is this; that's one of many songs of theirs that really grabs your attention from the get go, right? If you do a Part 2, see about including that one, maybe?
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
no longview??
That song starts with drums, and has done since 1994.
@@alotofmilesfromhomeAnd so does "She's Lost Control"
goddamn that bass sounds sick
How could you didn't play WALK THE WALK by Face to face man!!! I really was hope for this one.. LOL!! Pretty sounds of this strings man! Congrats!!
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!
Glad to see Watt in there. Had a feeling you would
Neat neat neat!
Fun house had me screaming the intro and playing raunchy air sax
That is some authentic punk rock bass playing! Well done.
Was waiting for "Aren't You Hungry" by M.O.D. That is the quintessential punk bass intro to me!
Mike Watt is such a strange bass player. Every single line he’s ever played would never ever occur to me to play
Where's Choking Victim's 500 Channels?
Try 'Peking Spring' by Mission of Burma! Great picks all-round, Minutemen, Gang Of Four, excellent
Should I swap the pickguard for a black one or leave it as it is?
I always preferred the look of black over tort - so I think you ought to go for it.
Leave it
Leave it
Leave it
Leave it or unsub
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
Well, it's almost an intro............what about 'Gotta Get away' by Stiff Little Fingers?
Sounds really good. What kind of amp setup do you have?
I bet you had to debate whether you were going to play "Six Pack" or "TV Party" for the Black Flag portion. Good thing you went with "Six Pack."
Love that Rancid song
The damned- love song is my fave probably
Awesome ❤😊
listenin' to some tunes, here"s another I forgot: "consume" by Sick of it All!
Check the bassline from SNFU's "Painful Reminder" an absolute classic.
