waynepunkdude Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Inspired by Bilbo, I have nothing but respect for mans love for his music. So i thought i would share my love Punk, i love the urgency i love the speed i love the way i feel when i hear a bass line played in hyper-speed with a nice palm muted guitar over the top and most of all i love the "this is what i play if you don't like it f*ck off " attitude of it all.

johnnylager Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Crikey, he's quite a bit better than me. Who says the Jazz bass doesn't rock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakenewmanbass Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I don't really listen to punk these days although I loved the Stranglers and the Clash when I was a kid. The bass player with Frank Zappa for the latter years of his bands is what I can only describs as a punk bassist. Absolutely superb bass player massively energetic and very musical. If you haven't heard him check him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Blimey! I can't do that Re: punk, its fantastic live music, really gets pulses racing although there's good (Pistols, Stranglers, Damned, Ruts, Buzzcocks etc) and bad (Oi bands, American-pseudo punk etc). Sorry for self-serving ad here, but - if you like punk and you have a couple of minutes to spare - check out my band Kismetik on Myspace for some fast punk mixed up with surf/psychobilly guitar and even an Ennio Morricone-inspired punk hoedown (Drunk at the Wake). If anyone likes it and lives in London, we're on at the Bullet bar in Camden tonight at 9.30pm Cheers Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 When I first heard Maxwell Murder I think I clapped at the end of the bass break. I was a proper anorak in those days... Not much has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 When I said American pseudo-punk I meant the stuff that Kerraang calls punk and that most 'musicians wanted' ads refer to as punk - ie, Green Day and the myriad of less talented sound-alikes that followed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Bolton Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 NOFX haven't played in Scotland for years, the bastards. Great band though, Fat Mike's pretty underrated as a bass player I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allighatt0r Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 NOFX - We Threw Gasoline on the Fire and Now We Have Stumps For Arms And No Eyebrows Brilliant name, brilliant bassline, brilliant song.
