Rancid - Maxwell Murder live Punkspring 2008 Japan

[PatriOM13]

amazing! it makes me love bass even more than i did.

[mircointer]

this is physically exciting

[8down10]

sorry but Matt Freeman is nothing compared to John Entwistle. john will always be the greatest bassist

[nirvana604]

The Whole song is Basically a Bass solo

Fucking love his skill

I am still struggling to get my jaw off the floor

[8down10]

@nirvana604 seriously try learning to play this on bass because its 10x easier than it looks

[nirvana604]

@8down10 I Shall try

thankyou for the heads up

[redsfan182]

1:01~2:19 It's wonderful!!

[josmur14]

1:01

[iplaydrums18]

rancids the best band i've seen live

[rudeboysimon81]

i absolutely agree, this is by far the best version of the "maxwell murder" bass solo i've ever fucking hear. there simply isn't a bassplayer in the entire punk rock scene that's better than matt freeman. he's the man and the fucking master

[hpdarkman90]

What does the tattoo say on Lars Fredrickson's head?

[21ounces]

@hpdarkman90 it says "skunx"

[ssnadder]

LIKE A MOTHERFUCKING BOSS!

[Lordoftheflies234]

Why are people talking about Mike Dirnt here? I mean...he's pretty good but Matt Freeman is light years ahead!

[bassplayer2011ify]

FREEMAN IS GOD

[TboneXXL1]

you guys, you should try on "the ox" (John Entwistle). Best bass player ever.

[TheTominator16]

i bet that guitarist is thinking secretly hates the shit out of that bassist

[AmericanXcore]

bass player is way to good for this shitty band. or maybe just anything shitty tim armstrong is involved with

[Sk8er408]

@AmericanXcore

Go cut yourself and listen to your chemical romance.

[AmericanXcore]

@Sk8er408 lol i love the idiot punk rocker default go listen to your (insert band you dont like) answer

[Sk8er408]

@AmericanXcore

Dullard.... who said I dont like them? in fact I've seen them in concert... Goes to show you are just a shit talking wannaB. Now proceed with your selfhating cutting...

[AmericanXcore]

@Sk8er408 can you even read retard? no, you cant. go drink a 40 and yell Oi! while I cut myself or whatever. even though i dont listen to any of that stereotypical "cutting" music....fucking idiot

[Sk8er408]

@AmericanXcore

You have no reading comprehension skills what so ever. Dullard... enlighten my stoopid self with what you think is good music.

[manoverboard18277]

@AmericanXcore yeah tim armstrtong may be the worst singer of all time...but rancid is one of the most ifluential punk bands of the 90's, how the hell can you say they're shitty?

[RiotSunsetStrip9]

@manoverboard18277

singing is actually tiring, physically, you know, what you hear on a studio song compared to live is completly different. and Tim actually has a really unique cool voice

[manoverboard18277]

@RiotSunsetStrip9 i love tim armstrong, and i agree he has a really cool unique voice thats perfect for rancid

[PeterSnuff]

such a fucking amazing bass solo, and an awesome bassplayer that plays like he doen't give a shit at all!

[Bongojune71]

as a bassist from punk genre I say "Fucking show off"...

Yes I am jealous

[fatmatto88]

7 people missed the suicide button

[bassclefjoe63]

Matt's bass has pretty awesome inlay..... in addition to be held by him

[armando0rocha]

This solo is fucking sick .-.

[MetalheadSipo]

O.O i jus came <3

[rocketboy375]

thats a fucking bass solo!!

[TheDude886]

the billy sheehan of punk rock!

[IGotAPagina]

Dude, whats with the fucking hate on Mark Hoppus. Considering his backround he is a great bass-player. He started playing bass when he was almost 16, and in four years he wrote some very popular songs. I'm also like 99% sure he did coke for a long time. Besides, he performs on stage and still hits most of his notes right. And think about it, If Travis Barker thought they were shit, he would have never joined them.

[TheJosephus11]

Actually, if you wanna talk about the best PUNK bassist, I'd have to point out that Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers got most of his influence from 80s underground punk (with some funk in there), so in a way, Flea is a punk bassist (kinda)...so yeah, Flea is the best punk bassist

[lakai958]

what bass?? looks like a dean hllsboro j bass

[IGotAPagina]

I love rancid but they sold out, and Matt Freeman (While he is good) is definetly not the greatest bass player in the world, not even just in the punk genre, he is very overrated, despite this he is very good, there are just better bass players.

[dudurlzz]

@IGotAPagina and u sux

[IGotAPagina]

@dudurlzz Dude, i never said matt freeman sucks you idiot, there are just better bass players, there's Flea, John Myung, Billy Sheehan, and countless others. And ok, maybe he is the best punk bass player in the world, but i bet there are better ones. (Also Rancid Sold Out) - Your Best Regards From YourPagina.

[mattgley]

i love rancid

[ivan32bellic]

This is Matt fuckin' Freeman :D

[XxXemobabesXxX]

okay i quit bass now

[yega94]

@donnellyseanelly a rickenbaker i think

[rocker8195]

lol I only play the first 10 seconds of the solo, and then I dont have fingers xD

[donnellyseanelly]

What kind of bass is Matt using?

[pimpasteak]

@donnellyseanelly a really kickass one...

[XcatisX]

@donnellyseanelly Dean Hillsboro Single with a custom neck and pickguard.

[basedjo]

кайфище бля!!!



[MrRlltide]

hell yeah, i found the real rancid fans. those idiots at the ruby soho "official video" site are comparing them to green day.

[GoodSydeBill]

If it wasnt for the bass solo,this song would suck.

[ttraynor1]

Somehow--just discovered Rancid. Love 'em. However....as far as bass solos, has anyone here checked out Entwitsle? If you don't know who i am referring too, well--then you haven't. And should.

[punkrockgod100]

@CriminalCypress couldn't agree more

[metlhead5]

whos the drummer in this vid?

[RexRancid]

@metlhead5 brandon steineckert

[TheDude886]

matt is like the billy sheehan of punk

[southparkfan1999]

ive have been trying to learn this bass solo for over a year and i know where all the notes are i just cant play it up to speed

[maxicod]

@southparkfan1999 dont worry, your not the only one

[SkankyRegg]

Matt Freeman!!!! fuckin god!!!

[h8crew180]

1:44 I think it´s Lars Marshall amp :D

[bleh86meh]

man, fucking amazing bass solo.

[Gnasher77]

Bass solo? how unpunk is that, talk about missing the point....

[Kiter02]

Cliff Burton was better

[wealldie12]

@Kiter02 i agree, but since thrash metal and punk are so different you really cant compare. Of course nobody is as good as cliff, and nobody will ever be. But since metallica sold out with the black album and everything since then has just been pathetic, i like rancid better. Since they have more then 4 good albums and all.

[multibassification]

@wealldie12 John Entwistle>Cliff Burton anyday.

[MrLemmyrules]

@wealldie12 what do you mean? punk and thrash metal are very similar!

[darthsasuke554]

@Kiter02 Cliff was a mediocre bass player (good but nothing special) HE WAS an amazing song writer and composer though

[neoh07]

if ladies listen the bass solo can get pregnant

[Junkpunker21]

WHO THE FUCK SAYS MARK HOPPUS IS BETTER THAN MIKE DIRNT OR MATT FREEMAN?

[fairy425]

@Junkpunker21 some idiot that dont know their punk matt freeman is the best punk bassist!

[GoodSydeBill]

@Junkpunker21 Mark Hoppus isnt even good

[jordo1441]

@Junkpunker21 Fucking have to agree. Freeman is the best bassist in punk rock; with Dirnt at second... Hopus is mediocre at best...

[Hobble]

@Junkpunker21 Who the fuck says that music is a contest?

[Junkpunker21]

@Hobble

WHO THE FUCK DID?

[Hobble]

@Junkpunker21 Please stop with the caps, it just makes it seems like you're yelling.

To your question. You implied it, by comparing other bassists in a 'better or worse' manner.

[IGotAPagina]

@Junkpunker21 He and mike dirnt are about the same, matt freeman outclasses them both if they fused, and became Mak Doppus.

[IGotAPagina]

@Junkpunker21 Mark Hoppus and Mike Dirnt have the same skill level. They both write simple stuff, (With a few exceptions like longview.)

[TheJosephus11]

@IGotAPagina Dude, Mike Dirnt is overall a good bassist. Longview is not his best work. Look up "Stuart and the Ave." or "Welcome to Paradise". There are a lot of other good bass lines on the albums Kerplunk, Dookie and Insomniac but those are the two that stick out to me most.

[IGotAPagina]

@TheJosephus11 Welcome to paradise is quite easy. I agree i didnt think about stuart and the ave though. But The reason Mike Dirnt will never really be even good is because he (And or greenday) stole basslines. And dont try and say (Well mike didnt steal them,) He did. He would have to agree to stealing them. That is one of the main reason I think he isnt that good. He stole Warning, Brain Stew, Wake Me Up When September Ends and 21 Guns. (Im think there are others too.)

[TheInvisibleCollege]

@Junkpunker21

Mark Hoppus is how do you say, a piece of shit.

[TheJosephus11]

@Junkpunker21 Mark Hoppus is a better guitarist than Tom Delonge, but he can't play the bass, he plays the guitar an octave down lol. Seriously, listen to Carousel, it's a cool guitar thing, but not a bass line.

[dennisjr77]

@Junkpunker21 Dude, Mike Dirnt and MATT Freeman are THE BEST, only maybe Flea, from R.h.c.p. and primus's Les Claypool, (Les Claypool, might be the best bassist in the world) but this bass solo rivals some of Primus's best basslines! :)

[Sk8er408]

@dennisjr77

Dirnt has nothing one anyone... except for maybe Novoselic...

But i'll agree with Claypool being the best... and Flea being right up there with him.

[Brigister]

@Junkpunker21 probably a fucking retard would say that. lol blink-182 fans saying carousel intro is "hard" LOOOL, they don't even know what a bass is then... makes me sad the fact that rancid and blink 182 are friends D: well whatever, i still love them <3 <3

[dilligaf1942]

@Junkpunker21 no one?

[FG4REAL]

@Junkpunker21

dude I SAY IT

its not all about how fast you are and this solo is not as hard as it sounds

[wichin1516]

@Junkpunker21 Flea ... :)

or Victor wooten 

[TheRageagainst44]

@Junkpunker21 just cooler. fat mike ftw anyway tbh

[Niech37]

@Junkpunker21 nobody is better than freeman

[anderkbc]

cool too

[Eder1981]

The best fucking ever bass solo on this track.. Matt is a legend!!!

[SlapHappyJesus]

Damn, nice solo.

[bmaxaus]

pretty fucking impessive.

[guidedbythespirit]

Lint is an old fart now. HA HA HA.

[badreligion9494]

Jesus. Lars doesn't age much.

[jacobthesexybitch66]

YOU MOTHER FUCKER D:<<<

thats what he said

[Bakery994]

great bass player

[Flamming3]

tim looks old and fat

[ftcpunk]

Everything is great about this Band/Song/Album & of course the gnarly BASS SOLO!!!!!!! Rancid punx forever!!!

[Rancidh0a]

Matt Freeman MotherFucker. ;P~~

[e797979]

matt freeman is GOD

[monsterenergized]

i love how the bass is so awsome but doesnt overpower the other instruments

[thizzzman]

nice to see some peeps givin love to a punk bassist, usually the drummers are the ones who get all the attention in a punk band. matt's balls deep!

[monsterenergized]

at like 1:37 i thot he would say holy shit man

[NotTheMusicMan]

OH. MY. GOD.

[SocialDeth]

who cares if he uses a pick?

[Mindlabytinth]

@SocialDeth For what I care he may even use a freaking sledgehammer, as long as he plays like that

[TidewaterHooligans]

Dude I like how Tim was just chillin' in the back. He just appeared out of nowhere at the end. lol

[Brigister]

sickest bass solo ever D: i'm just amazed

[10forRP]

Holy shit he is good. The drums and bass go great together

[wantsmarre]

 I love when punk musicans can show some really good skills and make good music and cool lyrics.

[iplaydrums18]

freeman is a beast

[fatmanhunter]

@iplaydrums18 he is the bass playing god

[iplaydrums18]

@fatmanhunter agreed, he's why i play bass

[fatmanhunter]

@iplaydrums18 mai i play bass too man....its sooo sweet too play

[SOLxREAPERx510]

If Flea used a pick, it would sound like this

[canisf1]

@SOLxREAPERx510 I don't bite it! Try doing this with a pick and with your fingers.. it's completely different strum patterns, like, a bazilion times harder to pick these strings than slaping them!

[Aamonath]

Damn the only thing scarier than seeing the solo tabbed out is seeing it actually played! -X{D>

[arthurayala]

BEEEEEEAAAASTYYYYYYYY

[theexkgb]

Cool performance!!!

[offpistol1]

マシンガンｗｗ

[linusro93]

FREEMAN!!!

[subimeyouthBJJ]

In my opinion the best bass players in the world are: Flea. Matt Freeman, and Eric fuckin Wilson

[sideshowbuzz1984]

@linkin1995 what about eric wilson from sublime? he's fucken awesome little kid.

[ftcpunk]

Kick ass bass!!!!!!!

[intermission2]

They've got the car chase from Bullitt in the background and Matt Freeman. This rules so hard.

[XxRancidxX1]

their new drummer is badass he fits more but ill miss brett reed i wounder what happend to him and they do look old but watever they are still legends to me and yes matt is fucken awsome on bass he inspired me to play bass and billie from green day and tim armstrong inspired me to play guitar and i drummed because of travis barker from transplants i love punk rock i love this band and if u disagree with me then fuck u i dont give a fuck what u think...

[paulie4star]

Fucking incredible.

[jaysonlemoine]

They look so fuckin old now specially tim armstrong

[paolomiranda]

esta solo con ese solo d bajo

[MattCoop13]

YEAH!!! MIKE DIRNT!!!!

[DieGaKuP]

...Mr. Matt f* Freemaaaaaaan!!!

[1776bricks]

Lead bass

[FuzzyDaKirbyFan]

longest coolest best bass solo EVAR!!!!!!

[himynameisalaric]

And people say bass players suck...

Ladies and gentlemen, Matt Freeman.

[howdyhoyo]

is matt usin a pick? i cant tell. also, dont compare him to flea. their styles are totally different.

[cb8034]

@howdyhoyo yep

[howdyhoyo]

rancid is so much cooler than the used. their drummer made the right decision and i bet hes alot happier now. oh... matt freeman is a fuckin beast

[cb8034]

@howdyhoyo i didnt think id like the new guy but he puts alot of hardwork and excitement into his playing unlike brett

[p0mgify]

I think it goes Les Claypool, Freeman, Flea.

[cb8034]

@p0mgify what about lemmy from mortorhead

[Nireves33]

@p0mgify I think Victor Wooten and Paul Chambers deserve some mention, but I am also a big gay faggot who listens to jazz so take that how you will.

[Exessis]

Its a unknown LeCompte custom bass. THERE YOU ALL GOT IT!

[WhoreGotShot]

thts one of the hardest bass solos ever

[Youngie761]

Whats the name of the Bass Player?. It doesn't say it anywhere. >____<

[gazboy1]

@Youngie761 matt freeman!

[Youngie761]

@gazboy1 It says something on his fret-board but I can't read!

[ripjaws117]

i still think flea is slightly better (dont bash me PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ) but thats fucking amazing

[shwabity]

@ripjaws117

flea is definitely better. haha

[danilovando]

Maguana: fuck you!

[madvegan66]

What was I thinking dreaming ONLY about Tim and Lars? Matt Freeman is the man!

[SeventeenGhost]

When Matt Freeman plays this solo, 20 womens get pregnant by listening it

[cheston65]

@SeventeenGhost i am the offspring of one of these 20 women!

[Metaldudehere]

why was my comment removed? i quoted awesome lyrics and said rancid is awesome??? wtf RANCID IS AWESOME!

[elvalle89]

I love how they have Bullitt playing in the background!!! Bay Area represent!!!

[Muaguana]

Impressive bass playing, if a bit uninspired. There are certainly more melodic and skilled pick players (Chancellor, Squire), but he's still good. Too bad the rest of the band is shit.

[blinkairwavesracer44]

can anyone ever understand tim armstrong?

[xarealpersonx]

Matt is sick on bass.

[sdistortion83]

the best bass solo played with a pick

[MrKreagen]

He is pretty good with pick but with fingers i like Shehan

[Ranaiaen]

Bass solo... omg... amazing :) Matt Freeman you are insane!

[ThePsychological]

SICK SOLO!

[LM95874]

wow that bass solo was insane

[opnaardeshop]

sicksicksicksick

[Arsonloke]

one of the best bassist in the world

[doyouwantaspoon]

haha the children here calling him the best bassist in the world entertain me

[mohawk1020]

@doyouwantaspoon dude it just matters what music you listen to. Matt Freeman is the best punk bassist ever so people that listen to punk think he is the best you may think that Les Claypool, Bootsie Collins, Victor Wooten, or John Entwistle are the best. It doesn't mean that one is better than the others

[ChandraTheSwift182]

@mohawk1020 I love this arguement with punk in gerneral and guitar riffs ex green day im pretty sure billie joe can play almost any song on guitar even though the songs he writes don't reflect it

[caswellberry414]

@ChandraTheSwift182 its funny how some people really hate green day.bad religion toured with them once and brad gurwitz watched them play every night.rancid even covered time of your life by green day.

[vagabondbutt]

@mohawk1020 He may be the best punk bassist but he's still very sloppy and uncoordinated.

[pdxsooner]

@mohawk1020 You forgot Billy Sheehan, Steve Harris, and Jaco Pastorius

[elmariachiterry]

@mohawk1020 you hit it. les claypool and victor wooten are total badasses but its apples and oranges.

[TWITCHthePUNK]

he is the best bassist but he cant sing for shit

[8Dgman]

THUMBS UP!
