➡️ You guys REALLY wanted me to hear @rancid and their track "Maxwell Murder", and I'm finally hearing the band for the first time! I wasn't sure what to expect from an 85-second track, but I don't think you could've packed more action into this zinger of a bass feature. Matt Freeman plays with a heavy-handed intensity and rips gritty grooves, walking bass lines, and one of the coolest bass solos I've ever heard. In this video I discuss the track's composition, use of chromaticism and leading tones in the bass lines, and why Matt's note choices completely drive the song. Most importantly, I break down this wild bass solo and discuss the "less is more" approach with the note choices and why catchy phrasing SO much more important than running scales in solos. Say hello to your newest RANCID fan! 🤩🤘🏼

His pause before the solo made me jump straight out of my couch! I kept screaming, "PLAY! PLAY IT! YOU DON'T KNOW YET!"
Hahaha i thought the sameee
Why?it's total overkill.
It's killing me!!!
Oh, phew! 😂
@@satansalley6526 oh, you Satan! Always playing devil's advocate!
"And Out Come the Wolves" is one of those albums I consider a "perfect album". I can put it on, and never have an inkling to skip even one track. I can't say that for many albums, even the best albums from other great bands that I'm still a huge fan of.
I agree.
From Maxwell Murder to The Way I Feel, not a track to be skipped. In fact, the non singles on this album are some of my favorites from their entire discography. Roots Radicals, Journey to the End of East Bay, Old Friend, and so many other bangers that never saw any rotation on the radio or TV.
I liked all of those early Rancid albums. I saw them live for that debut album, and I had never seen anything like it.
Bought in on cd back in -96, still listen to it , even bought the Vinyl a few years back.
10/10 record
Just listened to this start to finish on my way to work the other day. It's still one of my favorite albums.
Maxwell Murder ends… my brain goes, “hey little sister, do you know what time is was?”
Was scrolling through the comments and saw this comment. I had a little chuckle and totally do the same thing 😂
Yes!
I’ve never seen this channel before but watched because of Maxwell Murder. The ability for this guy to immediately pick up on the ska influence not knowing Rancid made me give him props as a proper musicologist. Great video.
Welcome, so glad you made it here. Thanks for the nice words! Cheers!! 🤘🏼
It's the defining flavor of the band
Exactly the same here. I'm subbed and looking forward to more.
100%!! With just hearing the bass line, dude casually unlocked the history of Rancid, Op Ivy, and 3rd wave ska. Love it.
Mos def
Matt Freeman is a bass monster. And he plays it even faster live.
yeah! and he even extends the solo live...
I remember the first time I saw them live (like a trillion years ago.. I'm 46) I kept saying "it's too fast, it's too fast!"
Solid bassist indeed.
There is no Rancid without Matt Freeman!!! Lars, & Tim get the majority of the credit, but Matt is remarkably talented! Not a great vocalist, but he actually has a couple songs he sings on, & he does pretty good! But his bass playing is what makes him special 😂
I'm 44 and Out Come The Wolves was the soundtrack to my high school days. Every song is a banger!
I'm 40 and right there with ya, this Life Won't Wait and whatever mixed crap I burned covering everything from Rancid, NOFX, Screeching Weasel, etc...
Yup, I loved this album when I was 15! 😊
Same! I bought this in the spring of 2001, tail-end of my senior year of high school. Let's Go was my first, got it about 6 months before ...And Out Come The Wolves. Also downloaded the first 6 tracks from Rancid 1993, and they became an instant favorite. Saw the videos on MTVX/MTV2 for Ruby Soho, Roots Radicals, Time Bomb, Radio, Salvation, etc., and saw them at Warped Tour 2001 in Pontiac, Michigan. Also saw Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, Less Than Jake, and AFI. Truly a magical time for punk/ska! Davey Havok came out to help sing Rejected, so cool!
Same! The first two also, you can sing a long an you don’t have to be a good singer
Right here too. Everyone said they went "real" punk. This album was my soundtrack to my puberty.
Matt and Tim were both in Operation Ivy, before Rancid. OpIvy is generally credited as the band that brought back Ska, for its Third Wave. They only really had one album, and it is KILLER! Definitely worth checking out.
…..and they were just teenagers, which makes it even more incredible
3 albums. Seedy, Hectic and Energy. Also: czcams.com/video/T_jsOtTiy2c/video.htmlsi=kvWVIBzzBMTfwYUK
Agreed. Op ivy is better than rancid imo.
@@brujo1099 I think so too. They were kind of a one trick pony, but damn, was it a great trick!
Rancid is like the clash if they road the short bus... Op Ivy is definitely way better.
This is the bass player I've followed for 30 years. Matt has always played that ferocious fast style of picking and intense scales up and down the neck. He is consistently talked about as the greatest punk bass payer in the world and I agree with that statement. He is a beast on the bass for sure! I'm glad you liked it!
Dead Kennedies’ bassist was great too!
Maybe check out Choking Victim.
@@chairmanofthebored6860 CV/LoC is a killer band too. Hell, Rancid wrote a song about the guy, Brad Logan. That says it all. F Minus was pretty good as well.
Joe Raposso is better. But I like Matt
@@theopinson3851Yep, Klaus Flouride another amazing bassist to come out of the bay area.
Old guy checking in here. I was on the 2001 warped tour as a photographer for a record label…not only was it amazing watching rancid day in and day out crush their set, but they had thee best bench press contest after every show. The constant top 3 guys: Lars, Davey from AFI and drummer from Bad Religion…what a time to be alive and see live… cheers!
Nice!! Hell of a story to share. Cheers man! Thanks for stopping by 🙏🏼
Davey Havok for the win
I buy it. I’ve been behind the stage there during AFIs sets and they had a bench behind the stage. Davey just gets his pump on before sets. Haha.
Matt was also in a band called operation ivy before this, really good bass there also.
Yes!
So good
Can’t forget M.D.C ;)
It was the better band
@@marcohernandez9674 when he played with them, he was more of filling in. Certainly not an OP member
Matt freeman is the king of walking bass in punk!
His reaction to the solo is my favorite
Matt is such a great guy too! Here's an extended live version to show you a bit of why we call him the John Entwhitle of punk rock
Cheers
czcams.com/video/VFwt97z_S0U/video.htmlsi=-CFlDKHaPsG2c4Io
Matt Freeman is one of the best bass players ever IMO. I look forward to seeing more Rancid breakdowns. 🤞
Rancid discography is well worth an adventure from a bass player perspective.
The best bass player in punk. Hearing this live is just wonderful
I love when he’s playing the notes at 4:30 it’s the same notes at the beginning of journey to the end of the east bay never realized how similar the songs were
Dude I noticed the same thing! Funny he has no idea too!
✊😊
You should check out the rest of the album. There’s definitely a lot of ska elements and great bass playing.
Journey to the end of the East Bay is one of my favorite bass lines of all time
the chorus of root radicals too
I came here to make this comment, but you beat me to it.@@Mewse1203
"journey to the end of east bay" on this album is amazing, much more chilled but amazing intro riff and bass break. Also "She got arrested" by the interrupters is a great ska song to check out from Rancid's Hellcat label
YES! The Interrupters ❤ Those bass lines! She's Kerosene is another cool one!
(and this whole album in itself is amazing ^^)
Journey to the end of the East Bay is one if my favorite bass lines ever.
Best part about his playing on this track is how much he drives the tempo forward. It's like a runaway train between the bass and drums. Absolute unpredictable and unstoppable machine. I love it
The song “Axiom” from their untitled/self titled album from 2000 has a nasty bass solo as well. I also saw another comment that mentioned Op Ivy, definitely worth checking out. I like a lot of music from various genres, but operation ivy has probably been the single most influential and underrated band I’ve ever listened to
exactly. Axiom solo is even more technical than this one !
Great bass on Not to Regret from this album too!
Same thought crossed my mind, "Axiom" is such a great display of Matt Freeman's talent.
Rancid 2000 - from front to back - was basically just Matt showing off. Such crazy bass lines with just gravelly punk chords filling in with him. Honestly may be their best album.
When I think of Matt Freeman's playstyle, I always think of Axiom.
I think I speak for everyone who knows this song really well that we were getting extremely antsy for you to get to the solo 🤣🤣
I hope it was worth the wait 😅😇
He stopped it at one note before the solo and I damn near died. I continued listening to him speak and all I could wait for was for him to finally hear that solo. Once he finally heard it, I yelled, »Yeah motherfucker!” to my phone.
Matt is a legendary bass player in the punk community. A really cool, down to earth guy too. I have been a fan of Rancid since 1993. High output music... so much energy.
Even the 2023 new Rancid songs are awesome, powerfull, high energy. They still got it.
Matt Freeman is epic! He's the reason I latched onto Rancid so hard. I love a band that puts the bass so forward like they do. You ALWAYS hear him in their songs.
I started listening to And Out Come The Wolves in the mid 90's when I was a kid, I still listen to it regularly today now I'm in my 40's. That and Let's Go are two of my all time favourite albums that never seem to get old.
Any bass player discovering Matt Freeman's playing is in for a treat!
I really hope you gave the rest of the album a listen. Truly a punk gem!
I don’t know if Matt Freeman is considered underrated, but he definitely should get more credit in the bass community. He is definitely an inspiration. Another great punk bassist is Fat Mike from NOFX. I would recommend “The idiots are taking over” by NOFX.
I don't know if I'd call Fat Mike a "great" punk bassist and I'm sure he wouldn't call himself that, but his stuff on "Wolves in Wolves Clothing" and "The Decline" is incredible. Definitely a shut-down to everyone who said he sucked.
@@porkcracklins630 100% The Decline has to be in the conversation for greatest punk bass performances of all time. It really does get better and better with age
I’d definitely consider him one of the greats.. especially since he’s the lead singer over those bass lines
Since I see you’ve premiered punk on your channel I have got to throw another recommendation that I think you’ll love. ‘The Horse by A Wilhelm Scream’ was a game changer for me and I think you’ll enjoy dissecting that song as well.
Their bass player puts on a damn clinic on their records. Only other guy in punk rock I can think of like that is the bass player in face to face.
One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands.
That whole "Career Suicide" album is a banger from front to back.
Fuckin’ A, career suicide is beast through and through.
Saw them live a few times and they have so much energy live. Amazing
Almost anything Wilhelm Scream!! But I think he does this song, I just haven’t seen it yet…and Streetlight and Rich Kids on LSD too! 😍🤩
This is awesome to see. Matt Freeman is one of my bigge est inspirations. I also highly recommend Rancid's "Journey to the End of East Bay". The bass completely drives and dominates the melody of that song, and it was really when I learned that bass can actually lead the melody and doesn't have to always be "support"
I’d love to hear your reaction to “Drag My Body” by Hot Water Music. By far my favorite bass player in the realm of punk / post punk. Incredible finger style tone, and just an impeccably tasteful player in a rhythm section who stands out in an amazing band.
I was in high school when this album came out and the discussions at school over this song were endless. It was the first time I remember guitar players saying something good about a bassist, especially one in a punk band. This was the album that brought a number of the metal and rock players into punk.
Matt Freeman and Roger Lima are probably the top 2 punk bassists ever and in my opinion make the top 10 best of all bassist. Huge influence on me when I was playing. Especially tonally. They both cut through perfectly.
I agree! Roger is sooooooooooooo underrated. His lines are always so out of left field and really adds a lot of layers to their stuff.
Tie your Less than Jake ska feel with Rancid by checking out Matt and Tim’s (from Rancid) previous band Operation Ivy. Matt plays incredible bass lines all over that, and it I think they are largely credited as being one of the early ska-punk bands kicking off the third wave of ska in the 90s (Less than Jake, etc).
Have been listening and loving this song for 29 years and i still have the same reaction as this guy the last time i heard it as his first
When they played this live the bass solo was so much longer. Journey to the End of the East Bay is another great song with a lot of focus on Matt's playing.
Matt Freeman is fiercely dedicated to his craft. Two of my favorites for bass are rancids cover of if the kids are united and their original journey to the end of East Bay
Really cool to see a bass teacher experience this song for the first time! Interesting how you've known Less Than Jake for a long time but never heard Rancid!
I thought the same thing
Thanks! LTJ was just a band I found in a vacuum from a PlayStation game. Even weirder is that, I wasn’t able to find who they were because the CD metadata was wrong when I tried ripping it to my computer. I didn’t figure out the artist until a few years later. I loved the few tracks I heard but was just way more caught up on Zeppelin and Floyd at the time.
LTJ are still just as good as ever! I saw them in Nashville last summer for the first time, after being a fan since I was a kid, their show was amazing and you should see them someday :) @@LowEndUniversity
@@LowEndUniversity Matt Freeman was the bassist for Operation Ivy which definitely was one of the bands that influenced Less Than Jake. Pretty cool.
Another amazing punk bass player is Karl Alvarez of The Descendents. Their first bass player Tony Lombardo was great too.
Karl is my favourite ever, really love how literally every song he cuts the notes short with his left hand, really drives the song
Karl Alvarez is probably the most underrated of punk bass players. His playing on Everything Sucks is insane.
Karl Alvarez is one of my favourites and he plays without a pick which is even more impressive as the bass cuts through the mix every time.
Karl is great in all as well but I love Tony Milo goes to college is insane downpicking
The pause right before the solo was perfect
I thought the same. I genuinely thought I had the full gist of the song already!
I love to see this pop up on my recommendations! I'm not into punk at all, but I did go to school with Matt, and it's great to see him get this positive attention. He even played upright bass in our orchestra!
My tiny little brush with greatness!
Oh wow, that’s super cool. Seems like a rad guy, and I’m glad you stopped by to watch. Cheers, Will!
Thats a great recollection to have. 🤟🇨🇦
Awesome! Matt Freeman is the best bassist in the punk scene in my opinion! Love this song with the bass solo! BASS SOLO! 🤯 Thanks for the reaction! 🤘
Agreed.🤟🇨🇦
I LOVE playing this song for people for the first time and seeing their reaction to it.
Especially if they're into bass but not so much into punk.
Matt is the best bass player in punk rock ever. 🤟🎶❤️
Not even close to Tomek (Satanic Surfers)
RKL
No joke. 999 comments before mine destroys it. Lol. But I just found this guy and I love him! He is so nice and seems to enjoy listening to the great punk and bass sounds I love so much! Genuinely enjoys it!!! You can’t fake what his reactions are. And he seems super smart and talented. I’m a happy new fan now! Keep up the great work, love it! More ska, punk and reggae please!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words!!
Matt holds the bands songs together.
He’s walking up and down all the time with tasty riffs. 🤟✌️🇨🇦
Thanks for the extra video Mark!! It’s always a great time when you release a video, this definitely had a Geddy vibe great call!! Please do the LD50 album that will have so many more basslines to unfold even over Primus, Ryan and LD50 is a masterpiece that has been talked about over any other Bass album I’ve ever heard
Oh man I've been waiting for this ! what a sick solo
"And Out Come the Wolves" is like a heaven for bass players/nerds. Almost all of their songs here are filled with nice and catchy basslines. Matt Freeman is the (time)bomb!
If you’re looking for another great punk bass riff, check out “Firecracker” by Strung Out. Keep in mind that the late Jim Cherry was against playing with a pick.
Rancid draw on a lot of different genres including Ska, Oi Oi and Punk. And Out Come The Wolves is just a fantastic album, I saw Rancid at Camden Underworld when they toured the album and it was a fantastic, crazy gig. Roots Radicals and Ruby Soho are particular favourites but there's not a weak song on the album.
Nice!! That sounds like an insanely fun, sweat box show. I played Underworld years ago and it was such a blast and intimate. Thanks for watching, man!!
I’ve never heard the song before. That was wild and fun.
This album is just pure gold been a fan of rancid since 15 now 33 still love this album..matt freeman is a bass genius
This is the kind of bass line that I just adore.
Sometimes more is more and that is that.
Had a burned CD with this and Anthrax's "Got the Time" and The Who's "Boris the Spider" as a kid. I think that's what got me into loving bass players.
Aaaahhh, the 90's. I miss mixtapes and burnt CD's lol
Give credit where credit is due. Got the Time is not Anthrax’s, it’s Joe Jackson’s. And Joe Jackson’s bass player Graham Maby is one of the absolute best of the era. If you’ve never listened to his other stuff you need to check it out. He’s in another league in terms of playing and tone.
@@castlefreak8122For sure but Frankie Bello is no slouch on the bass either.
well, sure, but what is to be done? can't go back in time and put Joe Jackson on that pivotal mixCD instead of Anthrax. They were just speaking to personal experience, not defining musical history. @@castlefreak8122
@@andrewlawBello is awesome
Early Rancid stuff (like this) was often grouped in with ska, particularly because Tim Armstrong (singer/guitarist) was previously in a ska band called Operation Ivy.
Also, Matt Freeman (the bassist) plays with a pick
watching this with a smile on my face just knowing whats about to come up during the 'part'. Excited
Rancid made loads of Ska songs. They're awesome
Man you are pumping these videos out.
I just want to get to everyone’s requests! 😇
@@LowEndUniversity That's a neverending mission my friend lol
When they play this live, Freeman goes nuts in an extended solo to this song. If you really want to hear Matt Freeman really shine you should check out their first album.
Love how you explained that simple but awesome solo and why it’s great. That’s how I try and explain Hendrix to people, rhythm, feel, phrasing, he doesn’t need more notes.
If you want to carry on with Rancid then the best place to go is track two of this album. And then track three.
I see what you did there 🤠
During concerts, Matt will typically extend the solo to about a minute or so.
Thank you SO MUCH for doing this lesson!!!! I love your stuff it's extremely helpful and Informative! Keep your end low! 🤘
Love Rancid!! Check out some live versions where the bass solo is twice as long 🤘🤘
Rancid is amazing, and this album is pure fire. Saying "quick one" is a good description, because Matt Freeman is blazing fast on bass. I totally get what you say about ska; I was always a fan of Rancid, but also loved Less than Jake, Reel Big Fish, and others... The songs Time Bomb and Ruby Soho brought me to Rancid from my old love of the Clash.
Loved this!!
Great analysis of an awesome song, thanks!
Out come the wolves is in my top 5 favorite albums ever recorded. The thing is bangers front to back.
Give it back by Lagwagon is awesome as well, Jesse Buglione is massively underrated as a punk bassist
He was also the Bassist for Rich Kids On LSD
@@brandonphenix4343 you're thinking of the current guy, also a really good bass player, I'm talking about the original bassist on all their early stuff
@@shipwreckedonapopulatedisland
Joe Raposo best bass line:
czcams.com/video/rm7Eap7ZbmA/video.htmlsi=8IdSo3Vp-gabQ_1q
Young AL Capone is an absolute nuts song on bass. Love Matt Freeman so much.
Really cool to see you genuinely enjoying yourself when that solo first comes in.
This is so great. I love it when musicians who don't (or, don't often) listen to punk check out Rancid for the first time. It always brings a smile! And then they react to Freeman's bass solo and I go, "Right??"
Glad to see this on your channel! This song rules!
Thanks dude! See you soon 😘
I love how you mentioned that the bass elevates the sound because I've always thought that way not just about this album, but Rancid in general. Everyone in the band is worthy of heaps of praise, but Matt Freeman especially.
Anyone who says punks can't play their instrument needs to listen to Rancid, the rhythm section in particular.
One of my favorite albums
There's a live version out there where he really extends the solo. Well worth a watch
Just love how he paused the song thinking that was all just about before the most impressive part. LOL I'm 45 and I follow RANCID since their beginnings. Cheers.
I really like this, cool to see someone so masterful at bass hear this for the first time. Been listening to rancid since I was 12 or 13 when I started playing bass and I've been convinced the solo at the end is impossible since. The walking basslineness is a good thing to touch on though because you can really apply it to any genre even if its used more sparingly
The PS1 game that introduced you to Less Than Jake was probably Street Sk8er! It introduced me, too!
Also, ALL is on that game, and the Honey Peeps bassline is rad as hell, too!
So great to see this covered, I’ve listened to so much punk and my fav “bass solo” songs are this tune,
Catch a Hot One - AFI
Not to Regret- Rancid
journey to the end of east bay - Rancid
Dead Bodies - Rancid
Matt Freeman is the best bass player in punk rock. You need to listen to more because he is pretty much always playing a sped up ska/reggae bass line. Check out the song “Kill the Lights” because it is a criminally underrated Rancid song.
It took 17 year old me like a straight year to figure out this song in the late 90’s, and he does it in 15 minutes 😂
There is a live version on CZcams were Matt extends the solo. It’s pretty much the only one that comes up when searched. Way more fun in person, but it’s super cool to see here too. Well worth the watch.
One of my favorite bassists ever.
Matt Freeman is the man!! Great bass player!
Goosebumps every time I hear Matt Freeman go off. So glad you covered Rancid.
This is the first video I've seen of yours. Great content! And bass playing 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Was 14 riding the bus to school. This senior crust punk with the vest and all was listening and i asked. Got a bass for my 15th bday and turned 37 this year. This song still get played in the car
“I just became a Rancid fan” 99.9% of people after hearing a rancid song. Such a bad ass band. Oi! Great video!
I've come back and watched this video like five times the past couple days 'cause it's just so great seeing someone's genuine, first time reaction. I've grown up on this and I _still_ get chills from the solo
You're the best!
"Fun" sums it up perfectly. I play bass along with Rancid albums all the time whenever I need to just smile and have fun.
Matt Freeman is one of the greatest in my opinion! Amazing to see live too.
Yes!!!!!!! Why didint you do the live version!!!! Thats what im talking about!!!! Finally! Proud of you bro!!!
brother i been playing 38 years and just in the last few learning to actually play bass with a pick...its alot of fun.
This is one of the best channels on youtube loving it man - keep it up
Wow, thanks!
Some awesome bass riffs from Matt Freeman are "Lady Liberty", "Black Listed" "1998" and "Blood Clot" just to name a few
I love that you say it reminds you of ska. Matt was the bass player for Operation Ivy and Rancid had a couple albums that were more ska leaning so you are totally right. Great video
Thanks so much! I had so many requests for Operation Ivy that I did my very next video on them after this one. Hope you can check it out!! 🙏🏼
Hey on my 13th birthday I got this album and that Christmas I got my first bass. 11th Hour was the first song I brought in to learn when I started lessons
