    In my opinion, he is definitely one of thee greatest bass players of modern rock and in rock in general. Yeah he may play easy stuff in Green Day but when you listen to his bass playing in albums like Dookie he truly is one of the most underrated bass players of today.

      Yeah I agree. Mike is a good bassist. A lot of his bass lines are easy but his technique and style take a fair amount of talent. He's locked in with Tre, they never get sloppy at all. Plus his tone is awesome. It's warm, but he hits the strings hard and gets that bright spanky tone that cuts through.

    Mike Dirnt is seriously underrated. People just assume he's okay because he plays with Green Day, which most people think of it as "simple".
    Sure, that's arguable if you put'em up against bands like The Who or Led Zeppelin or Rush, but damnnnnn Mike is something else!

    • @vnctmrn
      @vnctmrn 9 ปีที่แล้ว +65

      +Shadownet I always think green day could be a band with so awesome guitar, bass, drum etc stuff. Billie Joe is a actually a really, really good guitarist, he just doesn't show off that much, Tre is an awesome drummer, and Mike a really awesome bassist. But they're music is still my favourite... Ok I don't know if that has even made any sense

    • @pattonPwr
      @pattonPwr 8 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      James Guvercin And in that you are greatly mistaken.
      Slapping can be easy, just as basic 4 chord songs on guitar are easy, or basic rythems on drums. It can be however a very diverse and difficult technique (look for my favourite Les Claypool with Tommy the Cat)

  • @klawis
    @klawis 4 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    People gotta understand that difficult is not synonymous to great. Sometimes, simplicity can make you great player. Mike Dirnt for example, you can see his fine skills on their early stuffs (39 smooth to Insomniac). Green Day songs can be easy to play but those are already classics.

    I wish I could one day be like Mike. He's a fantastic performer, hella good looking and an incredible bassist. I seriously wonder how his arms don't get tired when churning all this stuff out on stage. Probably the best, and most underrated bassist of all time.

    • @AtrumCimex

      AtrumCimex
      It doesn't for me, but I have seen videos of performances where Mike uses his arm a lot. I don't use my arm much in the same way that he does but it looked very tiring.

    • @AtrumCimex
      @AtrumCimex 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      I use a pick around 85% of the time playing bass and I do all the big arm mouvements "for the fans" its not that bad, Im not even that fit

    • @sophielambros5080
      @sophielambros5080 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      AtrumCimex
      I usually use my fingers or thumb but a pick when I can be bothered. I would have thought that it would be difficult to keep control and accuracy when you're using large arm movements, but if it's easy then I shall give it a go!

    • @AtrumCimex
      @AtrumCimex 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well, it's criticized for being the "wrong" way to play bass, but in the end it's just another way to play. Good luck!

  • @LukeyPooky
    @LukeyPooky 10 ปีที่แล้ว +207

    I wish he'd start using an amp when they record/play live. Lmao, seriously though. The thing that makes me so upset is how low the volume of the bass is in Green Day's music. The bass line in When I come Around is awesome, but it's so hard to hear it, and it's loud compared to their newer stuff! I swear some songs there's not even bass!

    • @XneverstopfightingX
      @XneverstopfightingX 10 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      He uses that 300 watt super bassman behind him. We can blame the low bass volume on TH-cam compression/gating and retarded sound engineers...

    • @LukeyPooky
      @LukeyPooky 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I just don't think he turns the volume up enough on his amp in the studio/playing live. If you listen to Rancid, you can hear Tim Armstrong's bass very clearly compared to Green Day. Also, I've seen both both Green Day and Weezer concerts, and with Weezer, you could hear the bass lines, and even hear it clearly when I recorded it with my iPhone. At the Green Day concert I went to, it was like Mike Dirnt was down in the casino during the concert or something. I mean, I could see him on stage playing, but he might as well of just put his bass down on the stage and stood there doing backup vocals, there would be no audible difference.

    • @That_many_watts
      @That_many_watts 10 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      LukeyPooky28 you do realize that its actually the front of house guys that control his level, the bass amps on stage are more of tone not for volume, all the amps on stage are probably not even being used, thats just the way modern sound is setup these days

    • @LukeyPooky
      @LukeyPooky 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      noah Watkins That's not the case in Rancid, man. Look up them playing Maxwell Murder live, and you'll see the role that the bass player in the band is.

  • @rt-uh6mt
    @rt-uh6mt 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Like Mike, I was a "really great mediocre guitarist" switched to bass and felt right at home playing and writing songs. I think having that guitar background influences his style with all the chords and hammer-ons he plays here for ex. 1:20 as I kind of do the same thing quite a bit and don't usually play typical bass lines. I'm not even a huge Green Day fan but Dirnt is such a great guy and I love this bass. It's high up on my want list.

  • @jasminericenic

    What's unique about Green Day is that most of the guitar tracks only take a few power chords but usually the bass and drum tracks are very fast paced with multiple fills.

      "He kinda looks likes vladimir putin"
      sry, no, he doesn't. not at all.
      because Mike Dirnt doesn't blow up a houses with ~1700 people sleeping inside.

    He looks younger and younger every year ! Is that the power of ROCK ;) ?
    This P Bass seems to be really awesome sounding, I wish he played it "more" in the video ...

    OMG, Green Day without Mike are nothing ;D I mean, everyone are great, but bass is veeery important. And at 1:20 is... don't know how to describe it.

    Yeah… I had the Artist series Mike Dirnt antique /white/banana yellow Bass. I could not get the damn thing to stop buzzing. Turns out that the neck was twisted so much that even taking it to a professional the only thing they could do is replace the neck. It was my first bass, heck my first stringed instrument in 15+/- years. I couldn’t afford a new neck or to buy a better made bass at the time. I was newly enlisted and my pay was pretty basic. Now 20 year later I’m looking to get back into playing and came across one of these… I’m a fan of Mr. Dirnt’s but I’m scared to go with another one of these. I love the tele headstock so that’s another reason for my draw to these.

    I really don't know about this guy as a bassist,,, but whoever he is, simply i'm eagerly want to get this one. 51 style shape in slab body!! which I'm definetely not able to afford one from the market if it's a vintage, and used Ash for the body wood, old fashioned hardwear arrangement, small head, P-bass PU... and the reasonable price to buy one..... it's totally perfect. So is the one of flea guy's.

      I HAVE TO JOIN YOU ON THIS COMMENT! I love Mike's Bass but as a fellow left hander I don't have the privilege of owning one. Please Fender for the love of god don't leave us out! Make a Left Handed one! Even if it comes in just one colour make one!!! I know there has been one made before because Mike had one made for Paul Macartney! One thing I have found out is the secret to Mikes sound, his pickups for one ( you can buy them off the shelf) and the clever use of bass overdrive and a limiter rather than a compressor!

  • @ryebr_ead

    fun fact: the bass he is playing at 1:22 is in fact the glued back together bass that he destroyed at iheart, you can even see the crack going down the body just below the bridge
