@96aromaz I think its because back then he played with his bass slung rather low. So to play high up on the neck for this song he sat down so he could reach it more easily. I do the same thing. I play low slung because its most comfortable for me but when I wanna play something on the high end I just sit down.
Mark Hoppus-человек,который действительно вёл,а может ещё и продолжит вести за собой группу,которая без него бы не была столь популярной!И не было бы таких песен как Adam's song,First date и т.д. и т.п.
they all think that theyre the only ones in the whole world that listens to them. when so many band are trying to be like them. "oh man, their coming out with a new album. at least we know we were the first ones to like them"
its fucking annoying.
and the instrumentals do suck. if it werent for travis all the songs would be extremely boring.
dude mark really can play bass in the studio when he jams but the albums are all mainstream its sells man. its punk rock its mostly the lyrics that can be good and get you throught the hard times. Hey they did what they love and put out no matter what honestly i know they could do better as muscians but the genre thier in aint the crazy riffs that hard to others and they did come up with it. i mean it wat is.
Ok so theres alot of comments saying Mark is a bad bass player cause his lines are simple...so? I think he's a great bassist cause he writes very distinctivley and brings an amazing sound out of his bass. Same goes for Mike Dirnt and Fat Mike. You can easily tell all three of these great punk/ pop punk bassists apart. Theres really no comparison.
@RansakedBassist Yeah, but Mike Dirnt doesn't always write a simple line, like in Longview or Stuck With Me. And sometimes it's so fast anyone who says his playing is simple is proven wrong by contradiction (Panic Song).
@MiloRamone1 Yeah. Mike Dirnt is my favorite bassist of all time. And panic song is a bitch for me to play. my thumb blisters everytime from rubbing against my A string.
@RansakedBassist I don't play a lot of bass because a guitar is much easier for me to fix and tune (just me), but my friend Alex has been playing bass for twelve years now and he says that Panic Song makes his fingers bleed from the tremolo.
@Phaseonegraph Yeah, he's fun and catchy, I'll admit, but Scott was a master of hook and much faster than Travis live (Travis plays only about half the number of beats Scott does in "Dammit," and barely hits the rider and hi-hat as much either).
I can see if he was a good bass player... then a pink bass would be acceptable. However, Mark is not that great of a bass player. And seriously bro, if you think Mark is an "awesome" bass player you know nothing about music. Besides, Blink-182 is just a poor-mans NOFX most unoriginal band ever. Travis is the only real musician in that band.
You think blink 182 is an original band? Please listen to Nofx " I heard they suck live" and tell me that blink did not blatantly rip-off their stage show from them.
Well you're always gonna look up to your influences. And so what if blink sold more albums than whoever else or nofx was before them. blink WAS an orignial band. does any other singer sound like tom? can anyone drum as well as travis? does anyone have the same energy on stage as mark? the humour? the loud angsty riffs? you could name a few i suppose. green day, the offspring, nofx. and i know they werent punk, they were poppy-punk. but really, who cares? their music was very influential to kids.
being an original band means having your own sound. mainly focused on the vocals. and now all the world listens to is rap and all other nonsense. and with green day taking another century to make another album, we are in dire need of something different and refreshing. i did not say they were talented, more so charming to say the least. 3 piece band, catchy riffs, dedicated fans, and their unique charm made blink 182 what they are today.
@steelybass Maybe so, but they were much funnier and had a lot more energy when Scott and Tom had just started it up, and when Tom started to become an asshole (circa Dude Ranch) I started liking their music a lot less.
i agree that travis is the only true musician in the band cause i think that anyone could play bass and guitar in blink, but i think that theyre original. my opinion.respect yours too.
ok... just send me a video where u play bass better than him and i agree he sucks.. but i want your own song i dont want any guitarpro shit... just made by yourself a bass solo like that..
Freedomlikesummer, Vanilla Ice is one of the most successful rappers of the last 20 years and Limp Bizkit sold more records than Blink. So according to what you (freedomlikesummer) said bands like Creed are fucking amazing!!!!
1, he dont have to be great to be a good entertainer. 2, never heard anything come from america that dont sound exactly the same as everything else from america. 3, yeah you're probably right about travis.
Seriously. He IS a great bass player. Playing it is something. but compose it is another thing. Try to compose a bass solo like this and tell me what you think after sucka.
Ok Suukis, You really think you're clever, but you're not. If you knew anything about music (which you don't; except what MTV shoved down your throat) you would know it's NOT clever composing a bass line of hitting the 5th, but I guess morons like you eat it up. The bass line is whatever and it something Alkaline Trio did way before Mark.
oi man i've seen plenty of blink vids where mark plays this standing up, the only reason he sits down for it is because that's the tradition, it's his trademark... it's like when billy joe from greenday walks out by himself holding a guitar everyone knows he's gonna play good riddance, when mark sits down everyone knows it's carousel...
Mark plays the intro sitting because Tom used to bet money that he would fuck it up if he stood and played it. But over time, sitting to play the intro became part of the song.
wow i love the people saying like well its not really a solo but it sounds nice. any body can play like 4 little power chords, wanna hear reall bass players type in names like les claypool, victor wooten, john myung they can play bass
For fuck sake, who cares i love this song i can now play it almost perfect but it took mme a while not cause im a bad bassist but because this song is decieving it looks easier than it actually is and those guys you just mentioned they are great, and i believe people like Mark and others from GOOD punk bands should be accepted into the greats
Still good though. He's not exactly a flashy player but he knows how to make a bass sound good... presuming some guitar tech didn't do it for him and he thought it sounded good and kept it :P. Either way it sounds fuckin awesome.
ummm i am a huge fan of blink and blink is emo, yes hard to believe but its true, emo started with bands like the buzzcocks and fugazi, and those songs were about your girlfriend breaking up with you or anything on that level, until it became the cliche slit your wrist theory of today
you're fucked up, why the fuck would you say that? ignorant mother fucker don't wish death on people. oh yeah i think it's safe to say he's had a better life than you'll ever have, he's enjoying millions of dollars, unlike your worthless ass. keep sitting in your room hating on people. it's all you're good for you piece of shit.
Lmao I know... I mean EVERYTHING is emo these days... It's like the word gay... It used to mean homosexual... but these days it's a synonym to bad, crappy, annoying... practically anything that people dislike... These days someone or something is emo or gay because someone else doesn't like it
Now that's true punk bass right there
