    ---------------------------------------------------
    ➡️ This might be the best band name I’ve ever seen! RKL have been one of the top-requested bands lately, and I was eager to get to this one from their album "Riches To Rags" due to these hilarious names and titles. I even had a request for "Betrayed" from Brian Robinson (A Wilhelm Scream), and after hearing THAT guy play, I knew I was in for a ride. The shades of thrash metal in their sound really surprised me, and were reminiscent of early records from Megadeth or Testament. Bassist Joe Raposo kicked off the track with a blazing bass intro, and didn’t let up until the song's last note. I discuss his really tricky groove phrasings, his bass tone, how the bass intro reprised later in the song and became a “solo” figure, the song’s jerky chord accents, and how the bass completely carries the song in a "lead" way. I love it when that happens...but I may be biased. 😅✌🏼

    Hey Mark! Thanks for the props and thanks for taking this on! And I also want to thank Brian from Wilhelm for recommending it! Brian is an amazing player! Everyone you have had on here is an amazing player. Starting to love this channel! So great work! Love that you are exploring the bass punk world. So many good players.
    A few fun facts about this song:
    - Yes, I tracked this with a pick. I play with my fingers too, and I slap. I am mostly a finger player in Lagwagon (Jesse who was OG played with this fingers).
    - I was 23 at the time of this recording.
    - I wrote the music for this song and arranged it with our drummer for RKL at the time, Dave Raun. That's why its bass heavy and groovy.
    - This album was produced and engineered by Pat Coughlin, who also engineered/produced the Bay Area metal band Forbidden (hence the metal production). And he also did a bunch of No Use For A Name albums as well.
    - I wrote this song on speed (thanks for the recommendation Lemmy)
    - This whole album was written without Bomer (he quit the band before this recording and new line up)
    - I tracked 2 songs on this record playing with my fingers and did one bass breakdown with a fretless bass.
    - I huffed almost all of the dust off in the studio during this recording (sorry The Music Annex, I owe you a case of Dust Off)
    And I want to make one special request and recommendation for you to do on this channel, PLEASE review "Legend Of The 7 Plies" by the band Cigar. Jonathan Hischke is an incredibly insane bass player that is all fingers. You have to do this tune! Please!
    Thanks again! GO RKL IN 2024!!

    Lil Joe Raposo is one of the best bassist in punk rock. Good choice! Like others. I’d also suggest Face to Face Bent But Not Broken, Lagwagon Obsolete Absolute, Propagandhi Night Letters (the bassist Todd the Rod also sings lead vocals on that track), Descendents Bikeage, ALL Original Me, and Strung Out The Animal and The Machine. All amazing songs and incredible bass players/song writers.

    Good to see some Raposo love! Joe is a hometown (San Mateo, CA) hero and plays bass in Lagwagon among a few other bands. IIRC, he was playing a Steinberger at the time.
    As for RKL, they started as a straight up hardcore/thrash band from Southern California then started moving into more of that AC/DC-tinged metal/HC around the time Joe joined the band. Their well-loved drummer Bomer, probably one of punk’s best and underrated drummer, passed away back in 2005 or so, which made way for Lagwagon.

    Yo Mark! Thank you so much for your venture down the the Punk Rock rabbit hole! I always appreciate it when people actual give the props the genre deserves. The Punk Rock evolution since the 90's really escalated into true musicianship. The bands you're looking into have been in the background to some of the best times of my life.
    Face to Face - Bent but not broken. That song is what made me pick up the bass and learn to play. Scott Shiflett forever changed my appreciation for bass.

    Joe has been playing for Lagwagon for quite a while now, and any time I've seen him play he's using a pick. My favorite Lagwagon tune is "Surviving Callifornia", which is driven by an almost grind- core sounding riff. If harmonizing guitars make you smile, "Born a Wise Man" by Wilhelm Scream will make you giggle out loud, and the video is killer.

    I’m pretty sure (could be wrong) that RKL predates megadeath by 3 years or so. If I remember correctly megadeath debuted in 85 where RKL debuted in 82. Anyway great channel, great reactions and playing. Love what you’re doing here

    You were once again spot on, there's some metal influence on this and a few other bands from around the same time. A few former RKL guys formed Lagwagon, which is a way more poppier band, but you can still hear that metal creeping in. There was a lot of overlap between thrash and hardcore in the 80s, bands like RKL, Strung Out and Propagandhi kinda took that to this more "melodic" side of things.

  • @johnhmaloney

    I highly recommend reacting to Got The Time by Joe Jackson. It isn't exactly punk, but the bass part is very much in the same vein as what you've been reacting to recently and the song has an incredible bass solo. Anthrax did a fairly faithful cover with the solo intact, but I've always preferred the original.

    There was a pretty significant overlap between the Thrash metal and Hardcore scenes, especially in the early days. Most of the thrash bands were as much fans of punk as they were stuff like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. RKL are pretty frequently lumped in as part of the 'crossover thrash' scene, which basically consisted of hardcore bands that leaned into metal to varying degrees.

    Since you talk about Ska quite a bit, you should do "Someday I Suppose" by the Bosstones... a very different sort of playing, but probably one of the groovyest bass hooks in punk rock. The term "rockabilly" need not apply in describing Joe Gittleman's lines.

    Back in my punk band days we were in the same situation after getting booked to play our first show. Right before the promotor called, we had just finished laughing that the first ingredient in bacon bits was Simulated Bacon. So we threw that out in a panic and people loved it so much that Simulated Bakon was born. (we purposely misspelled bacon)

    It’s also worth noting that producer/engineer Ryan Greene went to work for Fat Mike after making Megadeath’s Countdown to Extinction and Greene helped define the melodic (“skate”) punk sound of this era, producing NOFX, as well as metal influenced punk bands like Propagandhi, Strung Out, and Lagwagon

    I highly recommend checking out rodger Lima’s bass playing from Less than Jake. First album first track “automatic” is a great one. He’s a picker but has rhythm and jazzy chops at 100x speed
    Matt Wong from Reel Big Fish is fantastic too, check out “trendy,” this guy stood in the back of the stage next to the drummer and just walked the bass for 120 minutes at a time like a machine, he’s got good slaps too.
    And omg, NOBODY plays bass like Karl Alvarez from the Descendants and ALL. Finger style at Mach speed with insane chops. Any song would do, but “everything sucks” has some fun downward chromatics and licks and “I’m the one” has just, killer bass man.
