---------------------------------------------------
➡️ It's a "2 FOR 1" special! Not only is it my first time hearing DESCENDENTS, but I'm checking out both "Myage" and "I'm The One" back to back to compare the playing styles of Tony Lombardo and Karl Alvarez. The songs were short, so why not? Both players presented very different playing styles, and it was a blast to hear each of their approaches. I talk about the genius vocal melody cadence in "Myage", what the down-picked bass sound adds to the song, the key-change modulation, and how Tony Lombardo steps OVER the drums to play bass fills and plows right through each drum groove. After hearing this track, Karl Alvarez had a really melodic, unpredictable approach by choosing many notes I didn't expect. I discuss the confusing chord progressions, chord voicings, and how Karl's melodies glue everything together in an ear-twisting way. Both of these guys impart a VASTLY different feel into the band's sound!

how have you listened to LTJ but havent heard the Descendants? more punk please..
Watching your videos, really enjoy them. I have changed from double bass to bass guitar, so learning the different finger and pick styles. 1 question.. what isbthe 5 string you have in most of your videos
Their other band (different singer(s)), ALL, particularly their album Mass Nerder is an endless provider of sick bass lines.
one of my all time favorite albums.
So so so good.
Allroys Revenge too
All?
@@jasontyler17 No, ALL!
You get so many listeners who request punk because in my experience punk fans are way more passionate about music than most fans
Accurate, truly!
So true ! Punk is like the family you always wanted , unpretentious and honest.
Yes we are.
Its in the blood and attitude since childhood..
88 Fingers Louie - 100 Proof. I promise you’ll dig it.
88 fingers louie 100 proof. Joe principe is the best
Great recommendation.
Good tune overall! I’d love to see you review that one!
Good one 👌
Man i completely forgot about this band
The Vandals man. The Vandals. Anarchy Burger, Pirates Life, Viking Suit, It's a Fact, But Then She Spoke, Ape Drape, People That Are Going to Hell, Cafe 405. The list goes on.
Yes to this, my friend. Vandals are awesome! 🤘
The main bassline for Myage was actually written by their drummer Bill Stevenson
Him and Josh Freese are probably my favorite punk drummers. Every time I've seen the Descendants Bill always looks so fucking happy to be there.
Bill is the man. He does so much
Also written when he was like 13-15 at the time.
This is a common thing in punk.
Wow!!!
I'm not even a bass player but I've absolutely been loving what you've been doing here. I grew up listening to all these punk bands and seeing your reaction to these songs first listen just brings me right back to those times. Much appreciated
Ditto to your comment 👍🏻💪🏻👏🏻
Wow, thanks!!! 😭🙏🏼
Love the channel!!! New viewer and I’m hooked. Not a popular band, but you should really check out the song Doing Better by Shorthanded. I’d really love to hear your feedback on it.
I was just thinking the exact same thing. Watching someone buzzing over songs I grew up listening to, brings me so much joy.
Yup, same here! Love seeing someone that didn’t grow up on punk, listen and enjoy like we all have for years!!
I do not play bass but I love this channel for the community.
I started playing guitar as a teenager but always wanted to be a bassist and this channel, and the community, makes me pick up my bass more often than my guitars these days haha
Geez guys, that means so much! 🙏🏼😭
There’s a killer documentary called filmage, it’s the story behind the descendants/All. Should check it out!
That was a great doc
My friends and band mates made that. It’s so good! I even got a music credit. :)
“Let’s do both.” This is why we like the channel so much. Separately, you definitely keep giving me more stuff to learn. I’m still trying to learn “The Horse” lol
Add: Also, you should check out “Cool to be You” by the Descendants.
Means a lot, really appreciate you!! 🙏🏼💙
I agree!!
No way! Back in college, I got to intern at The Blasting Room Studios in Colorado where most of the Descendents’ albums were recorded! The drummer, Bill Stevenson owns the studio and is a super nice dude
Back in college I wrote Milo Aukerman when he was working at DuPont as a biochemist (I was studying at Penn and he had done some postdoc there, which is maybe how I had his email? I don't remember as it was 20 years ago). I had some questions about careers/passions and he graciously took time out to write me a thoughtful reply. It was a little gesture from a personal hero of mine from when I was even younger and I still think about it.
It's so great you're doing all these punk bands. No one does this in analysis/reaction videos, it's always the same stuff from other channels. Yay for you!
Agreed. You have punk 'historians' who just talk about the bands, but no one is breaking down the songs...except breh here. I hope more of this type of thing happens.
Face to Face - Disconnected. Easily top 10 best punk bass tracks.
Disconnected is easily one of the best written bass lines in punk. So simple, so catchy. Loved it when I was young, then played it for my young kids 25+ years later. My 4 year old daughter memorized the melody after one listen and my 2 year old son picks up my bass and hands it to me expecting to hear the intro.
Scott Shiflett on later Face to Face has the more aggressive and technically impressive lines, but Matt Riddle had some great ones that absolutely made the songs killer.
Disconnected is a pop master piece, IMO.
Yes, this. ✅
Walk the walk is a better signature baseline in my opinion. But disconnected is a real good song indeed!!
Walk the walk is a good one, but I love the way the bass in Disconnected fits into the mix of the song (on either version) and is a little less straight forward. The bridge part mixes things up really nicely as well. It's less in your face, but still a huge part of the song - massively catchy.
Similar to Velocity off of Big Choice. Round and mellow melody which then dumps into the rhythm with the driving but clanky finger tone that immediately makes the bass more percussive and the whole song blast forward. Great dynamics, which the self titled album is lacking simply because it's compressed against the limiter nearly the whole time.
The tone on either Don't Turn Away or Big Choice is less refined -and arguably very low fi in the case of Don't Turn Away - but a perfect example of how less can be good in some cases too. Great textures that aren't exactly typical, even for the era.
IMO of course....
Highly recommend checking out Minutemen, especially some of the stuff on their third album, Double Nickels on The Dime. Mike Watt is one of the most out-there players in punk. And they actually put out Descendents' first album on their label New Alliance.
88 Fingers Louie - 100 Proof! Fucking killer basslines through all of their catalogue
Hot Water Music - Drag My Body. You won’t be disappointed. Definitely the bass is the melody of the song.
Propagandhi is a great punk band and I think Todd Kowalski is an underrated bass player.
Todd first appeared on Propagandhi's Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes album, before that John K. Samson, of The Weakerthans fame, played bass.
Night Letters off of Supporting Caste is worth checking out as is Cut Into the Earth off of Potemkin City Limits.
Easily my favorite punk band and it's not even close.
Yes!!! The rod is a legend ❤
Myage brings me directly back to growing up skateboarding in the 80's - What a perfect song
You should definitely check out ALL for more Karl Alvarez madness. In fact, they are essentially the Descendents with a different lead singer, formed out of a desire for the band to continue on after Milo left to focus on getting his master's degree in biochemistry. World's on Heroin is definitely the track to check out.
Milo was recorded when they were 18-19 years old. "Im the one" was recorded 13 years later and you can hear the seasoned musicianship in the recording compared to the raw adolescence angst in the first album and thats what makes the first album so good.
Yeah, I know everyone loves Milo, but for me the signature Descendants sound is that harmonically unpredictable song structure, which was something they perfected later. I'd say the same thing about Ten Foot Pole, everyone liked Scott's vocals, but the locked up riffs and manic beat changes that made TFP unique, only really developed after Rev.
It’s Karl and Bill together that are so unique and unmatched. Stephen is incredible in his own right….they’re a 3 piece at the end of the day, so impressive.
The one thing I genuinely hope comes out of this punk rock journey you're going on is that you find a band or two that makes into your personal music collection.
Have really been enjoying all of these. You first got me with the Rancid react and kept me coming back with the Op Ivy, NOFX, and Descendents. All bands that were a huge part of my youth and would help shape the man I would become. Glad to see these bands getting their just desserts. Punk often gets overlooked but it really is an amazing genre with so many amazing songs and bands.
….feel the same, Matt 😄
Dude, I've been listening to punkrock for 30 years.. it's honestly so cool to see you react to all this for the 1st time and honestly seem to be into it! Welcome, friend! Check out Roger Lima from Less Than Jake. If you're not familiar, it's skate kid, ska/punk. Dude can play!
And now Lagwagon please :)
"Lazy" would be a great pick
Jesse deserves some praise!
“Give it back” would be my pick
@@bryanringel481 "Give It Back" is a great track too, love how the bass progresses : )
Hung out with Jesse for the Hoss tour when we saw them and he let me try his brand new Music Man Stingray 😊
Yeessss
I enjoy the playing on coffee and cigarettes too
Yessssss, so glad this journey into discovering punk rock has finally taken you to the descendents. Love that you can appreciate the often overlooked talent in the genre
Yes! Thank you!
The magic in what you’re doing is that we are truly seeing you introduced and excited about the tunes that have been our EVERYTHING for so long. Your ability to break this all down in a simple and relateable way is refreshing too. Keep going. Punk rules and thanks for shining some additional light on the quality of the bands and the musicians.
Wow, thank you!! 🙏🏼🥹
Couldn't have said it better agree completely Thank you man
You will LOVE the album Milo Goes To College. It's full of great basslines
It brings me so much joy to watch you discover all these great punk songs for the first time. Makes me remember what it was like for myself, and why it made me want to become a bass player in the first place 👏👏👏👏
I've commented many times before, but I love your videos because it's like having a friend that has never heard punk rock before and is open to all of my suggestions. Keep doing what you do!
Fun perspective!! Cheers man! 🙏🏼😎
It makes me so happy seeing you just delighted in hearing these amazing punk tracks that I grew up with. Love seeing people light up when they enjoy and hear good punk. :D
Love that you're exploring the punk rock genre.
You have to check out The Dead Kennedys!! Klaus Flouride is a beast on bass!!
I got to hang out with Klaus and East Bay Ray one night back at their Hotel and party after the show. Klaus is the coolest punker I know. His iPod had a ton of eclectic music from hip hop to Kermit the frog lol
Check out Street light Menifesto's "Somewhere in the between" great album all around and the bassist is all-over that fret board throught their typical 3-4 minute songs- One of the bass players I wish I could sound like.
‘Can’t Stand the Rezillos’ by the Rezillos is a super underrated early punk album where the bass drives the entire album. One of my all time favorites. Probably not popular enough for this channel, but if you give a listen I’m pretty sure you’ll dig it.
They’re touring this April with circle jerks and adolescents. Going to be such a great show. These guys still have it.
FIRECRACKER by STRUNG OUT!!! That is all 😂
I second this!! Strung out blend punk rock with metal. I think he will totally dig the sound
Agreed...Jim was a genius...lost way 2 early...
Yes Firecracker. Strung Out is sooo good.
SHOULD CHECK OUT Streetlight Manifesto - we will fall together
pretty much any streetlight song. dudes an animal
Backed
I remember seeing the Desendents a few years ago and being blown away by just how fast Karl could play from the start of the show to the final note! The entire band are the gold standard in their respective roles but…wow!
I'm The One was the song that acknowledged me WHAT was a bass and It's sound.
Bought this album in 1998 when I was only 9 and this got me completely crazy. Have this album cover tattooed and I still love it front to back.
Great video as usual!
Both Tony Lombardo and Karl Alvarez played some incredible lines!!!
After "Milo goes to college", Milo the singer did go to college and the Descendents went on a long hiatus where the rest of the band played as ALL with a different singer. So if you want more Karl, check ALL.
Oh wow. Thanks for clarifying that! I’ve been confused just glazing through comments seeing they’re the same band, but they aren’t, etc etc - makes sense! Almost like a RATM / Audioslave scenario.
@@LowEndUniversity no problem! My favourite thing about this is that for the longeet time now both bands coexist, and whether a song ends up as a descendants or an All song depends more on whichever band happens to record an album next more than anything else
These videos have been terrific. Fun to watch. Also, showcasing two songs was awesome here.
Glad you enjoyed!
I look forward to your videos. Keep it up 🤟
Bad Brains - Banned in DC
Cigar - Classic You
Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia
SNFU - She’s not on the menu
Lag wagon - Give it back
There definitely needs to be some Cigar in this channel!
Cigar!!!! I really enjoy the playing on Wright and Wrong too
Give it back
Saw Descendents live at Download 2022 and DAMN they are great live. Played like 30 songs within an hour set!
In a documentary lombardo talked about he tied fishing weights to his wrists while playing to improve his downpicking. Seems like it worked.
Wasn’t it Tony who they stumbled upon practicing bass in a storage garage? He was ready!
@@MrVisde yep he was a good amount older than them too lol
Tony was like 32 when joined them and the were like 16 so wild
id love to see you hear I Will Deny by the Dwarves, rock legends
Absolutely love that you covered both of these songs! Descendants are an incredible band. Both bass players are super talented and both songs are incredible in their own aspects. Loved hearing your breakdown and comparison on them. Myage definitely gets stuck in my head when I hear it as well. EDIT: I ran into an old friend of mine in the comment section of your video reaction on Fugazi Waiting Room! He lives in another state than I do and is an incredibly talented bass player. Miss you @sugarcell4580
Oh wow!! How cool is that. Love it!
Descendents always have such wonderfully punchy and clear bass tone, Karl Alvarez especially, something really wonderful about his playing
i like these not only for your take on them and the education you apply to listening, but also for you to hear them all for the first time and how they might change how you look at music going forward. its way more "accessible" now than when i got into them, but punk musicians are among the pinnacle of creatives and out of the box thinking and its also a lot of that magic that made bands like nirvana so great to those who first heard them back in the 90s. i think its easy to look at punk on the surface as an outsider and think its cheap and snotty and uneducated music. but i i also think you'll agree its the complete opposite (genius often hiding in horrible quality recordings) its always been there and i applaud you for opening the door and taking a look in.
I'll probably never pick up a bass, but i still love the breakdowns of what's happening. I like that while focusing on bass, you'll also touch on other things going on in the song. Good stuff.
Please do Bent But Not Broken by Face To Face! Scott Shiflett is a monster.
I 2nd this!! Face To Face deserve some noteage.
Anything with Scott Shiflett would be amazing.
YES!!!
MXPX - Vacation. I love that bass
Yep, this one is on my “Bass Play-Alongs” playlist. It is so fun!
Ah yes, the fathers of pop punk. Both Tony and Karl are absolute beasts. Funny note, the main songwriter for this band is actually their drummer, Bill Stevenson, so both the bass and drums take the leading role on a lot of their tunes. There's a great documentary about the band called "Filmage". Once again, great vid.
Streetlight manifesto is going to be right up your alley
They’re next!!
Descedents, another of my favorite bands. Great stuff! You gotta do Mike Watt, punk's greatest bassist. "Joe McCarthy's Ghost," "The Glory of Man," "Viet Nam," "Sickles and Hammers," "Fascist"...there are so many incredible Minutemen songs.
“Maybe Partying Will Help” too.
Or even his firehose days like 'brave captain'
Yes!!
Minutemen and Social Distortion was my first show. Huge Firehose fan too. Mike Watt fucks!
You need to do some Mike Watt....both minutemen and firehose both fucking rule
You're really killing this channel man. Fantastic song choices, perfect video lengths, you seem to be genuinely enjoying the music and no over the top fake personality. Cant wait for the next episode.
Please listen to
The Inbreds - Any Sense Of Time
A Canadian two piece band featuring a singer/bassist with a drummer. This is their biggest single, very bass driven.
Never heard of these guys but i'm going to take a listen. Put them on the list with Death From Above 1979. Thanks.
@@matthewbeaulieu9848 did you get around to checking them out?
Second 88 fingers louie - 100 proof
Great band and if you didn't know they pretty much became Rise Against.
Thanks for highlighting the incredible musicianship hidden in plain sight in punk rock. Really good content!
Karl and Tony are heros of mine so it’s nice to hear someone listen to them for the first time and have nothing bad to say about
Yep, Myage got my playing bass at 13. Even in my late 40's I still noodle around on that song
Myage has such warm basslines. I love these simple yet catchy ones.
For more on the hardcore side of things I suggest Sick of it All - Consume & Snapcase - Breaking & Reaching
I love the punk run you are on with these punk songs.
Ned's atomic dustbin has 2 bass players. Would like to hear your opinion on them.
Really been enjoying these videos. Nice seeing someone not really versed in punk breaking these things down to show how complex the genre can actually be.
STOKED YOU GOT TO DESCENDENTS! VERY COOL TO SEE YOU COMPARE BOTH BASS PLAYERS IN 1 VIDEO!
500 channels by choking victim that bass line is definitely killer.
I'd say descendants songs are amongst the catchiest out there. One of the best punk bands ever. Karl's bass playing is always a focal point in ALL.
The Jam- Down in the Tube Station at Midnight. Bruce Foxton is an absolute beast!
I love Tony... and Karl, omg he does reallt complex stuff and so fast...
I've been following your account for a while, but it has gotten so much better since you've been reviewing all these punk songs. Please keep them coming! Maybe try "Disconnected" by Face to Face.
Thanks so much Dustin! Really appreciate you. I’ve for F2F on the list!
@@LowEndUniversity Debt is another great song from Face to Face with great bass licks
Just found you, and you're exploring my childhood. Sony yellow Walkman and Descendents cassetes
I’d love to see anything by Hot Water Music. Jason Black was always my favourite bass player growing up.
Love see you dissect all the tunes from my life
I played myage back in the 80's loved that song, saw them live 2 times back then.
Hi again, loving the analysis of these videos. As someone who grew up with this music this was normal in my head and now with you breaking them down I'm realizing how much it's not the beaten path of how you write music. Thanks!
Love it. Thank you!
Love the punk content, you got yourself a new subscriber. Have you done Streetlight Manifesto yet? I’m not the biggest ska fan but that band is different. Criminally underrated bass player.
Thanks! They’re up next, actually!
Their original bassist Josh was playing a fretless for his time with the band.
really love what you're doing there! Putting the light on punk rock bass players is something we don't see often from non-punk musicians, so its a real pleasure to see you do that and enjoy it moreover! As for Karl Alvarez, "I'm the One" is great, but doesn't scratch the surface of what he is really capable of, technically and melodicaly. I think turnin to ALL ("Honey Peeps" for example, as suggested in another comment) whould be a great way to discover more from him, while still listening to a new band (plus the ALL/descendents story is quite interesting IMO)
This was great! The Low End Fam has been turning me onto some really great basslines the last month I absolutely love it! And huge congrats on your sub count Mark it’s climbing up there!! So happy to see this!! Almost 10k views in 12 hrs YAS!! I’m literally smiling for you and your channel brother!!
Cheers man!! I’m having so much fun, and you guys are the sole reason why! 🙏🏼☺️
@@LowEndUniversity thank you man! Luv man and all your work!! Your easily one of the best players I’ve ever heard and to be able to connect with you makes me feel so happy! Your one of the reasons I remembered how bad I miss my Thumb bass
My all time favorite band. My age is all down strokes. He used to practice with a weight on his wrist.
Tony was an older guy who I think Bill and Frank heard practicing alone as they passed by his garage. Tony said he increased his speed by duct taping lead fishing weights to his picking hand
Great choice.
Your channel is becoming very exciting (for a lack of another comment lol)
Totally digging all of this 🤘😀🤘
Awesome! Thank you!
My man, thanks for pointing me towards this video. Solid review and can't go wrong with either era of Descendents. Appreciate your efforts.
You mentioned exploring more of Karl Alvarez's playing. He spent some early days playing in a hardcore punk band from Utah called Massacre Guys with Stephen Egerton (precursor to Descendents). These two have been playing music together for longer than most people realize. MG is what you'd expect from an early 80's hardcore punk band, but still a super fun listen nonetheless. I'd recommend the track "Hunted" from their Behind the 8 Ball EP -- 45 seconds of pure intensity.
Since we're going through a bunch of punk stuff, I'd love to see you do some Alkaline Trio. Dan Andriano is one of my favorite bass players and one of my all-time favorite tones. Old stuff like Snake Oil Tanker, Mr. Chainsaw, Steamer Trunk, Trucks and Trains, Metro (cover, maybe that's cheating), Fine Without You, maybe some newer stuff like In Vein (Dan also doing the vocals), Over and Out, Demon and Division, etc.
Yeah Dan is great. His playing chilled out a lot as they made more albums but his stuff on Goddamnit is some of my favourite punk bass ever
@@planetfucksquadYeah, his style has definitely chilled along with their sound. I absolutely love the lines on Goddammit but I wish he was a little louder in the mix on some songs. It’s sometimes hard to hear the notes in certain spots.
I do love his melodic lines from the newer stuff. Over and Out is one of my favorite chill songs to play along with.
Dude you are killing it , as an older guy its fun to see young people discover the punk Music. Speaking of Descendants , please check out and review " Victim of me " Or Perhaps you are ready for Face to Face , try walk the walk . would love to see this .
Would love to see him do any of Scott Shiflett's play through videos.
love this channel!!!
If you get a chance, watch the Descendents documentary, Filmage. It’s incredible. Tony talks about how he used to strap weights to his arm to strength-train his downpicking!
I've know these songs from them being released., I've loved the Descendents from the early 1980's. I really appreciate your critique which has made me love the song so much more understanding the depth of it. I guess as we learn and understand music as you get older there is so much depth to things that you missed at the time. Thank you. Cheers from Australia..
Yes, yes!!!! Thanks.
You bet!
I might be in the minority but any of AFIs stuff pre December underground is super inspiring
I’ve recommend to you Cigar - no more waiting, blow your mind for sure! a great bass solo 😮💨
Very cool! Loved the comparison of two amazing players in their own right. Tony's downstrokes are legendary but Karl it must be said is an absolute monster of a musician - any song off this record will prove it. Him and Stephen (guitarist) had already been playing together for decades before joining Descendents, and their musical interaction is just on a different level. Not only that, he's also written some of the bands best songs, "I'm the one" included.
Thank you! This was a fun one. I enjoyed how vastly different they both played.
The beauty of the descendents is that every member is unique and skilled. The drummer is a virtuoso in his own right.
Subbed... There are so many punk groups that have a wicked bass line in them
Thanks for the sub, friend! I agree!
Tony Lombardo influenced an entire generation of new bassists. He wasn’t afraid to use the entire fretboard either 😎
Milo Goes To College is one of the greatest punk albums of all time. Every song is perfect.
man people are recommending some great songs. I keep thinking "oh he should do this song next" and here we are.
😎
Loving your exploration of punk!🤟🇨🇦
Myage was my introduction to The Descendants.
Anything from Casiopea if you don't know them you will like them.
