My First JAWBREAKER Listen! Bass Teacher REACTS to "WANT"

---------------------------------------------------
➡️ If I had heard “Want” by Jawbreaker before getting into punk rock on this channel, I would’ve assumed that’s what “textbook" punk songs sounded like. Nowadays, I can better appreciate the well-crafted songs from the punk rock scene, and this track ticks all the boxes of a cleverly-written punk anthem. Focusing on the band’s songwriting as a 3-piece, I loved hearing how bassist Chris Bauermeister doubled up on the bass presence throughout the song with rich bass chords, his groovy intro that reprised throughout the song, and his crisp piano-like Precision Bass tones. I discuss their use of the modal chord changes that, when used sparingly, become quickly effective in deviating from the song’s tonal center and overall feel. This is an succinct, catchy tune that slowly compounds on its own energy and makes you want to hear it again and again! I WANT YOU! 😅✌🏼

As an aging punk I went through the years of people telling me how punk is only for people who don't have the talent to play better music. I really appreciate you diving into our(yes, our) songs and appreciating the art form.
And, I appreciate you for having me! This has been a blast. 🙏🏼
Punk was the genre that showed me, unlike Classic Rock, you don't need to know chord theory or know how to sing well to enjoy yourself and have fun playing. It was the stepping stone for me to get into the Metal world, of which I'm much more comfy. But Punk will always have a special place for me because of the life-changing experiences I had getting into it. It gave me some of the closest friends in my life I still hold dear. We even trade his videos when special songs come out. We even have our own little discussions about things he talks about and discovers we may not have thought about. Yes, this is "our" music, and it's an incredible feeling when someone else that didn't grow up, musically or mentally, with this music in their world discovers it and shows appreciation for it.
I think old school punk had this mentality, and was like anti-metal (so to speak) because metal has always been technical, so punk was just about the energy and emotion with a non focus on virtuosity that metal focuses on. I think that stigma stuck over the years but as Mark and his channel have shown, punk has amazing musicians, especially the 90s skate punk type stuff he has been reviewing recently. Love it! ❤
It's only now as an aging punk I realise just how incredibly creative and talented it actually is. Some really decent musicians in this scene.
I’m 87% sure that blink stole that bass line for one of their songs
I wish I could hear Jawbreaker again for the first time
First heard Jawbreaker on hardcore breakout USA. The song was Rich. I had already been listening to punk for six to even years, and it was musically life changing. I quickly got my hands on Unfun and was blown away. Incredible album.
This was the first song I heard from there. The same day a girlfriend broke me after 5 years. This song helped me to feel better and overcome that relation
I’ll never forget my first time. ❤
Blake might be my favourite lyricist of all time.
Same. Him and John K Samson are my two fav of all time.
Me too.
He's one of the best, regardless of genre.
Man, you nailed it with a lot of your comparisons. Jawbreaker was part of the East Bay punk scene in the late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s when bands like Green Day, Operation Ivy and others were coming up. Right after Green Day made it big, Jawbreaker agreed to tour with Nirvana and suffered vicious blowback from some parts of the scene, being stuck with the label (unfairly, imo) of “sellouts.” The whole scene has a very interesting history - check out the documentary “Turn It Around” for a deep dive.
Jawbreaker’s lead singer went on to form another legendary band called Jets to Brazil, who I’d highly recommend checking out.
I’m not a bass player, but it’s been really cool to watch you discover all of this absolutely fantastic music. Keep it up!
Great summary! And I've never seen "Turn it Around" so I'll definitely check it out. Jawbreaker was one of those bands I thought I would never see live. I was 17 when they broke up. I was ecstatic when they got back together for reunion shows. Last month I was walking with my wife and kid through Legoland and a couple passed by me with their kid and complimented me on my Jawbreaker salt girl shirt. Put a big smile on my face. Damn I'm old lol.
@@salamatpoo They may be touring again soon. Also if you are into the historical war-gaming community Chris is a staple at events in the Northwest.
also give "Don't Break Down: A Film About Jawbreaker" a watch. fantastic doc about them.
I love Lagwagon’s version, call me a heathen.
Call me one as well
I also like Lagwagons version. Both are good though
I heard Joey sing it before I ever heard jawbreaker and it really screwed up my ability to fully appreciate jawbreaker.
both make me happy
Ayeayeaye, ayeayeaye, I want you
Jawbreaker is arguably one of the best rock bands out there. From the instruments and the lyrics, to even the rough vocals, everything comes together like a feverish dance.
I wish I could go back to the first time I heard that “I I I I I I I want you”. That’s when everything changed for me. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece! ❤
You are so welcome!
Love the series! Jawbreaker are a favorite! You should do almost anything by the band Refused off the album Shape Of Punk To Come, particularly 'DEADLY RHYTHM' or 'SUMMERHOLIDAYS vs PUNKROUTINE'
Hell yes! Jawbreaker is one of my favorite bands ever, and Chris is so f'n good and has such a unique style. Check out the song "Parabola" to hear him really throw down.
I love watching Chris play 'Parabola' a bass masterpiece. You can tell it is one of his fav's to play live.
Amazing! Few bands mean more to me than Jawbreaker. ❤
“Clavicle” by Alkaline Trio would be a good one for you to cover! Love all the ones you’ve done so far. Definitely makes me appreciate the music even more! Thank you!
Seconded! Dan from Trio manages to play bass as rhythm and lead simultaneously so well
Great song - I would also recommend 'Mr. Chainsaw' as the Alkaline Trio ultimate bass track
I simply adore Jawbreaker. They mean so much to my wife and I.
Love that!
OSKER!! "panic" & "stop the bus" , epic basslines.. 😎
Osker is so underrated
@@supermacguyver Preach!
Panic!
Osker is lower on my list for a reaction, but these two are my song choices as well. The songs are short enough that both can be combined into a single video easily.
I'm always happy to see some Osker love
i love how you can pick out things i've never heard after listening to some of my favorite bands like jawbreaker for 20+ years!
🤓🙏🏼
I think this is one of my favorite songs. Gets me every time. Makes me sad in a good way.
Man..somehow you are hitting all my favorites! Keep it up man! I love your breakdowns of these classics! Please do a Lagwagon song next!
Thanks! Will do!
@@LowEndUniversity Obsolete Absolute is the obvious one. Almost a bit of an epic, not quite like the Decline but in that neghborhood.
lagwagons version is better imo@@LowEndUniversity
@@bushleague3472Yup absolutely that songs my friend
@@bushleague3472great song choice for laggies. That hang album fucking rips hey.
Frank turner - four simple words
is a super fun song to
Jawbreaker is a underrated band they are so good! Great recommendation guys!
so underrated
This band is my youth.
Big D and the Kids Table: not F**king around!
Do Gang Of Four Damaged Goods, really influential and hell of a bass line
Saves the Day is a band that has had multiple bass players throughout their existence but they have all been top notch. My two favorite songs, bass wise, with two different players check out "At Your Funeral" off the album Stay What You Are and the song "Bones" off the album Sound the Alarm.
Bones is a killer song. Definitely a favorite
Funeral is a great choice. The Bass is sneaky good in that one. Third Engine is also a good one.
At your funeral is a great shout!
This breakdown and discussion absolutely fascinates me. I am musically dumb, but this makes me so happy.
It’s fun watching you discover Jawbreaker for the first time! Oh, my heart! Welcome to the family. When it pains, it roars.
What I love most about this song is its conveyance of the lyrics. The sound portrays a sense of euphoria, but one that is etched with melancholy and fragility. There is love, and a love for loving itself, but also an anticipation of heartbreak. It is recognized that the love will only be temporary, that everything will be shattered, but there is almost a rejoice in the moment, as if its fragility makes it all the more precious. It also mirrors the vulnerability of opening up oneself even when rejection is expected.
One of my top 5 favorite bands
Same...in fact it is my all time #3 band.
I got to see Jawbreaker open for the Foo Fighters in 1995. I believe it was their last tour before they broke up (they reunited about 20 years later). Fantastic band.
Damn, that’s actually a super cool pairing for a bill. Nice!
Jawbreaker was suppose to be the opener for Nirvana’s final tour. Dave and Kurt are huge fans.
@@StalinBballinthey did end up opening for Nirvana for a short leg of a tour.
I think Strung Out “Firecracker” would be a good song to check out.
Or Broken, Faulter or Unclean from 'Another day...'
Rotten Apple!
Bring out your dead
Jawbreaker is one of my favorite bands, and this song is one of my favorite songs by them. Their bass lines are very fun to play, and I very much so recommend them!
Not enough love goes to Jawbreaker unfortunately. Thanks so much, this RULES! I love them so! 💙☺️
The song sister has such a special place in my heart
POUNCED on the video when I saw what you were hearing today!
Absolute amazing album, opens with gold, thrilled to hear it again here today.
I don't know what sort of free time you have, but I recommend giving the whole album a listen.
You need to do Parabola by Jawbreaker as well!
Not sure about the recording but Chris used to play a P bass with retro fitted active pick ups with the 9 volt battery mounted on the front side of the bass, right behind the bridge. Jawbreaker is definitely a power trio with all three members in command of their individual role. Blake is one of the best lyricists I've encountered in my 50 years of listening to, and reading lyrics. Chris is really the unsung hero of the band. I saw Jawbreaker in Leeds UK back in 94-95. I was in a band named Ground which had just been reviewed in MRR stating "Sounds like Jawbreaker, but not nearly as good". I told Chris about the review and asked him if he would like say something in to my handheld recorder for our upcoming release. He said yes, I pressed record and he responded, "This is Chris Bauermeister from the depths of England stating that Ground firmly sucks". That quote was at the begining of a song on our next ep. I filmed several shows from that tour in the UK and the footage was used in their documentary titled "Don't Break Down".
My favourite band of all time. Great video!
I recommend getting into their next album BIVOUAC. A lot darker in sound and production.
Around the 9:00 timestamp - both Jawbreaker and Green Day came up around the Gilman Street punk scene of San Francisco's east bay/Berkeley. In 1993 Green Day got signed to a major record label and were considered sellouts; Later the same year, Jawbreaker toured with Nirvana and fans were concerned that they were going to sell out too, which they sort of did... in a way. The history of this band is really interesting and more than a little sad.
If you want to learn a little more, there's a great ~60 minute episode of the podcast 'So... Alright' called Jawbreaker: three ways where the host talks about the candy, the 1999 film, and the band. It's a really interesting listen that I highly recommend.
Need more European bands!
The Clash - Lost in the Supermarket
Refused - Deadly Rhythm
Gogol Bordello - Underdog World Strike
All in time!
@@LowEndUniversity +1 for Deadly Rhythm. I won't spoil the surprise as to why, but that song(/album) is...unique.
I love that you see yellow when you hear A. That's awesome. No color relation but I like a good, driving C# song. Like many of the songs on Oh, Calcutta! by The Lawrence arms. They live in A/B/C#/E
Whole album was amazing. Still is. Bassist always blew me away and what a great review from a real expert with great appreciation. Very cool.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I'd love to see you do either True Believers or Freaks, Nerds, and Romantics by The Bouncing Souls. Bryan is one of my favorite bass players and the only one one you haven't covered yet.
Jawbreaker; the best emo band disguised as a punk band.
Just did this song last weekend at karaoke. Love it a ton.
Edit: big thanks for the big clip of my comment at the start!
Karaoke'd this one? Rad! And you're welcome. The dorks part got me 😅
@@StalinBballin It is soooo hard to find a place that has Jawbreaker for karaoke. I have only found 'The Boat Dreams From The Hill'
Such a great band. Very influential as well.
When I was a young lad, we had jawbox jawbreaker and glassjaw all kicking around the same intersections of the altpunk kids. Jawbox was my jaw of choice
I love your punk rock song choices! Propagandhi, AND Jawbreaker! Thank you!
You are very welcome!
Great video again, everything I watch a new video, especially punk, I end up listening to their whole catalog again. Thanks and keep it up!! ❤
For a contrast to this song in the Jawbreaker catalog - Try the song Bivouac from the album Bivouac. Slow, somber, and heavier - but with lots of interesting bass elements.
Yess!! Thanks for analyzing "Want". You should totally analyze "Traveling Theory" by Penfold if you're looking for something more melodic in the punk realm. Has fantastic melodic bass and is a really well written song.
Ive always loved chords on bass. Thanks for breaking it down.
Ah. Jawbreaker is my favorite band of all time. Of course I’m biased but I think they’re under appreciated.
I’ve often heard them referred to as a cross between Green Day and Nirvana.
That song came out on a old school skate vhs named ZERO HERO from the early 90’s, rad video rad song rad album rad band!
Early Green Day and operation ivy were also on ZERO HERO!!
One of my favorite songs to play on bass when I’m tipsy in the garage on Saturday night.
Jawbreaker is an all-timer
I'd love to see you tackle 400 by the band Energy. It's got a great opening bass riff, it's fast as hell yet still has sing-along moments, and it blends the perfect amount of atmosphere into a melodic hardcore song. You'd enjoy the hell out of it.
MxPx - Rolling Strong or Can’t Keep Waiting!
Mike Herrera is underrated! Plus he sings and plays really well. I just fail so badly trying to sing "Chick Magnet" while playing it.
One of the most influential bands of all time .They were only together for a few years and made a gigantic impact. It's great to see them back together and touring.All those bands you named (West Coast punk) were heavily influenced by Jawbreaker.However no one sounds like them, especially the guitar playing which is completely deconstructing the typical approach.Do yourself a favor and go for a long night drive while you listen to Dear You.
"Condition Oakland" off 24 Hour Revenge Therapy is one of my favorite night driving songs to clear my mind.
I used to love playing along to that album when I was a kid, even though I never got the bass line right.
Same!
My Jawbreaker tattoo is my 1st and 20 plus years later, still my favorite. Love the journey into punk brother!
That is awesome!
@@LowEndUniversity Thanks brother. As a fellow 4 string thing enthusiast , watching you get into some of my favorite bands has been awesome. For a genre everyone says takes "no musical ability", hearing your breakdowns is refreshing. Congratulations and hope you keep rising brother! Also check out Avail. My personal favorite band, so many amazing bass lines!
Appreciate you, I think I have them on the list actually for the future. Cheers man, thanks for the kind words!
I also have a prominent Jawbreaker tattoo mixed into my forearm.
And next to Blake’s lyrics, the secret of the Jawbreaker sauce is the rhythm section.
One of my top 5 favorite basslines. Another in that top 5 list worth checking out is Senseless Things - Too Much Kissing. Amazing bassist who really shines in that song.
Well, now you have to do Synesthesia by AFI. It just makes sense.
Synesthesia is such a wild thing to me. It makes sense when you think "oh that note sounds "happy" in my head" but it's just crazy to think about it.
Your observations on power trio's are spot on. The percentage of iconic musicians that come out of single-guitar bands is pretty mind blowing when you think about it. Everyone has to fill more space, you end up with musicians that play differently, bands that sound different, and just a far more dynamic blend of instruments.
Great points! Even though Van Halen wasn’t a trio, I think about how differently EVH would’ve played if there was another guitarist. I don’t think he’d have played such imaginative stuff without the need to fill the space by himself.
@@LowEndUniversity Punk would almost be the exception to that rule of thumb. That said, if you make a short list of the biggest and most influential punk bands, you'd find that single guitar bands are disproportionately represented.
Saw them at Cal state Fullerton in the 90s and they sound the same live as the recording
You really gotta check out, Falling Sickness - Better Luck Next Time, very bass driven, runs throughout.
Such a good band
Would love to see a reaction and breakdown on Joy Division/New Order stuff. Peter Hook is a beast.
Joy Division is on the list! Coming soon. I didn't recognize the band name at all, but after seeing how big they were, I've definitely heard their top track after I saw the name. That's all I've heard though and am looking forward to more soon.
New Order "ceremony " would be awesome!
I know you've covered rancid but their first record they were a three piece and Matt freeman's bass playing was off the rails. It's probably my favorite punk record of all time. Don't need to review it but i guarantee you if you listen to it you'll love it.
Obscure - try Squirtgun "Make it Wreck". Bass line slaps on that one, including a gnarly solo near the end.
Mass!
I loved this. As a long time fan of jawbreaker it was great to see Chris get the credit he’s earned over the years. Here’s one I think you should check out, I would love to see you do something from Three Mile Pilot. Chenjesu, or Shang vs Hangar, or nearly anything from the chief assassin to the sinister album. Incredibly unique style.
Super deep cut you might enjoy is the song Booshduckdown by Assorted Jellybeans
Lagwagon made an amazing cover of this one!..🤩
This is like true Emo before that word was ruined. Makes me wonder what you’d think of Rites of Spring and Sunny Day Real Estate.
Here's one that many of your listeners will remember: Neds Atomic Dustbin (only band in history I can find with TWO bassists). "Happy" is a popular one with amazing bass....
My favorite Jawbreaker album is their last one, Dear You (1995) It laid the groundwork for the Emo genre
Check out The Press Corpse by Anti-Flag, love all the punk vids!
Thanks for doing my request 🎉 so fun to watch.
No problem 😊
Great band! There was a period in the late 90s when “Dear You” was out of print. This was pre-Napster and CZcams, so it was actually difficult to hear their last album on a major label.
I seem to recall too. A record store helped me order a Canadian pressing in 2003 or so. Literally couldn’t find that record in the U.S. until the drummer’s label acquired the rights and reissued it. I wanna say that was later-2000s.
I stumbled across a fan pressing on blue wax in the late 90’s.. I’m still listening to it.
I've been meaning to check these guys out, thanks for the foot in the door.
Another great episode, keep em coming mang. You've been killing it with song choices.
Means a lot friend - thank you!
Check out the band Elephant Gym the bassist KT Chang is really good. Finger, Galaxy, Underwater, Half, Moonset, Ocean in the Night. Any song really, they're so good. This bassist was a big inspiration for me to start learning bass.
Hell yes, this is what its all about!
Now that you've been exposed to so many great bands, I would recommend reading the book "Sellout" by Dan Ozzi! It talks about bands like Greenday, Jimmy Eat World, and of course, Jawbreaker. It's really interesting to read about them in a way you can feel as if you where there while they where in their prime.
I don't comment much, but as a previous comment said, check out Osker, but I'd say Going on the Instincts over Panic or any other song. Osker is a crazy underrated Punk band
Hey dude, I love your videos, keep it up!, I recommend you listen to Anti-Flag - The Press Corpse, now that you are into punk
You should do a segment on Ned's Atomic Dustbin - Happy... Two bass players, fun stuff.
Great call! I’m usually alone out here thinking Are You Normal? is their best album.
As someone who grew up a punk/emo kid, played in many bands (some of which got signed and are still making records and touring today), and consider it my favorite style of music but also likes many other styles and kinda sees the flaws in (particularly the vocals of...) punk rock, I have to say that your comments about them are really thoughtful and well formed. I love the way your 'outside of the scene' thoughts on the entire genre make me see music that I've listened to for 30+ years differently. 👍👍
Thanks so much, appreciate you!!
The first video of yours that I saw was you analyzing Fugazi. Since then I've been on a journey with you. Hearing bands I've either never heard of or never listened to. It's also brought me back to some bands I haven't really listened to for a while. I hope some of your recommendations have been for bands like 7 Seconds, Stretch Armstrong and Sick of it All so that some time in the near future there might be a video for some amazing songs from these bands.
Thanks, appreciate you coming along for the ride!! I’ve gotten a few requests for those and I’ll see what I can do! Stay tuned.
Gotta do Saves the Day anything off stay what you are !!!! THIS IS A MUST.
Gotta do Mr. Hurtado by Cigar. Great live session video of it on CZcams as well.
Check out Electrolux by Hoover as well. I think you’d enjoy playing with that one.
This is so awesome.
You’re awesome!!
Yes!!!!!!!!! Jawbreaker is one of the best! Unfun is their best! Chris's bass playing inspired my bass playing heavily. Blake's songs are amazing! Also, please react to Cue To You, by Fuel,..... Please. An thank you
Jawbreaker's Unfun inspired a whole genre of melodic punk bands and gruff vocals.
If someone wants to do a drum study, I recommend Imaginary War by Jawbreaker (5th song on Unfun).
I love this channel.
And I love you!
If you liked Jawbreaker, you should give a listen to "In circles" from Sunny Day Real Estate, that's Nate Mendel (Foo Fighters) on his early years. Great video!
Patiently waiting for The Ataris - Teenage Riot to make it's way to the top of the list
Best punk band ever
Over 30 years later I still think Blake is singing "Boris Yeltsin" in this song
You should check out the band Banner Pilot! Punk band with a killer bassist. Maybe the song “Alchemy”
You check out Alkaline Trio's Crawl...
Dan always has such a good tone
Alkaline Trio are coming soon!
Jawbreaker had 4 albums and every one had a different sound. I second the choice of Parabola off of their second album, Bivouac. On 24 Hour Revenge Therapy, I'd suggest the opening track The Boat Dreams from the Hill and on Dear You probably I Love You so Much it's Killing us Both (though my favorite song on the album is Accident Prone - just doesn't show off the bass as well).
The 7" mix of Busy is probably my favorite off of Unfun and the bass is very forward on it.
Love it!
Gotta get The Suicide Machines - “Hey” on your list!
It already is! Soon. 😎
Gotta love Jawbreaker, and you do a great job of explaining why there's so much to love about them! I'd love to see what you think of "No Future" by Anti-Flag, for a great punk song. I think the bass is insanely good, but I'd really like to hear a good breakdown of it!
Chris No. 2 is a great bass player. "Tearing Everyone Down" is so good.
