I meant "Is this the band with the best punk basslines in the world" as opposed to "Are these specifically the best punk basslines in the world" Edited July 10, 2013 by jmchich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prunesquallor Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 The Damned, no contest. Neat, Neat, Neat for the most recognizable punk bassline evaarr, and Love Song coming a close second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCZU-pHezx0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPoYQHDi1HI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm a big Rancid fan - Old Friend, Timebomb, Black Lung and Axiom all jump to mind, but Babylon's Burning by The Ruts is my favourite punk baseline at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came into my university to talk about the music union. Deaf as a post now due to his ears dying on stage but a very nice chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Fat Mike/NOFX basslines, anything by Matt Freeman including Op Ivy and Rancid, and the unsung hero, Brian from A Wilhelm Scream: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXNjH4tzzrg Live version of The Horse http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8pNReUeq0w Skid Rock without video. A Wilhelm Scream might not SEEM like what a lot of the original punks would deem as punk, but it is. It's punk played with incredibly fast chops and technical ability.

Highfox Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Guess it depends what you term Punk? The Ramones, Clash, Ruts to name a few had some decent basslines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master blaster Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Cant believe London Calling hasn't come up yet. That bass-line is the part of the song that everybody knows and love (not just the bass players). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an example Suicidal Tendancies were formed a good 2 years after the last thrashings of punk had finished. . .

Ziphoblat Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Not really classic punk, and perhaps not even punk by the standards of some, but I always loved the bass to this track (not really a big fan of the band though): [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R34SA1qTfQw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R34SA1qTfQw[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hell yes, I'd forgotten about that one. A lot of the early punk bands were actually good musicians who'd played in bands for a few years before punk but were there to 'jump on the bandwagon' as it were, all this "they couldn't play" was largely a load of bollocks, in the very early days anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
