[ZileAite]

[ChrisFreddo]

haha props for leaving the end of smash and the talking :P

[TheArkilo]

what the name of the song at the time 5: 10?... i have a lot of offspring but that no....i want!

[PhoeniX726]

@TheArkilo Totalimmortal, its an AFI cover

[CrazyOffspringer]

This is great! I bet he totally appreciates this. I love Greg and everytime I hear one of his rockin' bass lines, I'm always like "Thats Greg!" He doesn't get nearly enough attention or appreciation. As Dex once said "They're like Penn and Teller- he is Teller." :)

[perrydaplatupus13]

I like u should do a video like this on each member, dontcha think??? and the pics at the end - i want like a poster of them in the car with the surfboard! (@ Noodles - please take note ; ) )

[MAG1997]

[XxMADDOGxX182]

hey could u post a list of all the songs in the list?

[wixxed]

I never realized how many songs Greg K got to show his bass skills without a guitar over him. And I love it all!

[dannykins6]

he inspired me to play bass

[antho519]

what the name of the song at 0:33 ?

[BassistBill1988]

@antho519 Have You Ever. It's track 2 off Americana. That's the best part of the song too, I think.

[cheezkid]

I love GREG, does any one else notice how he dances when he plays its so funny. he kicks ass.

[Jordo1900]

Could you make one of these for Mike Dirnt of Green Day please?

[Jordo1900]

One Word To Describe This Kick-Ass Bass Player & He's one of the most aswell : UnderRated

[muhmilchmann]

Can you tell me the name of the second song (0:09)

great video mate!

[BassistBill1988]

@muhmilchmann It's Hopeless by Manic Subsidal - that was The Offspring before they came up with the name Offspring. There used to be a site that hosted all sorts of Offspring rarities and you could download it. Otherwise, you'll have to find one of the old demo tapes or just rip it off youtube.

[krish633]

best bassist ever cant wait until next album happy hour

[ConeRulezZ]

can you please tell me the name of the song from which is the first bass line plzzz .. i really wanna learn it :D



[badbrain94]

@ConeRulezZ

that's Me and My Old Lady.

[KasCalwein]

This guy is the reason i bought an Ibanez ATK bass.

[cheezkid]

I met Atom Willard and he said Greg was a really nice guy, plus he just looks like a nice guy.

[woodyfreek]

this is an amazing vid offspring rule greg is my insperation XD

[davidtheoffspring]

GRANDE tHE oFFSPRING

[jambi880]

He's too cool.

[Arian545]

This dude never say word.

[circusmagic182]

como se llama la cancion ke es del segundo 5:09?

respondan por favor

[BassistBill1988]

@circusmagic182 it's Total Immortal. AFI originally made the song. Offspring covered it.

[xicodepor]

Greg K the best..... the offspring the best band in the world

[RationalInsanity1992]

I want to learn bass because of him

[nachospole1]

the offspring is why i got into punk rock and greg is why i play bass offspring forever

[TheWeaselStompers]

@nachospole1 me too

[sindresollie]

First minute a thought "Shit, you have used up all the good stuff" but till the last second all bass riffs had the same good quality!

[aliROFL]

Greg K & Mark Hoppus got me into bass, both of them are some of the most talented bass players for there genre =]

[harmonizethelord9]

this guy always looks like a quiet guy is he?

[BassistBill1988]

Pretty much, yeah. There's a few Offspring home videos and stuff where he says a word or two. That's what makes him cool though.

[IxnayOnT3hHombre]

@BassistBill1988 do you know of any on youtube where he decides to use his voice? lol

[BassistBill1988]

@IxnayOnT3hHombre Yeah, Offspring In The Studio. One of the parts introduces all the band members, and Greg K points out a blister on his hand from playing bass. I think he says "Yup." to the camera guy asking the questions. Also, in The Making of She's Got Issues, there was a part on youtube where he said, "I love Mrs. Edmonds" and laughed. But even in the intro to that video, he just waves at the camera and Dexter says, "He only speaks when necessary" or something like that haha.

[Scartman691]

Its true, he doesnt play anything spectacular and hard. But he plays with immense precision and perfect timing, In my opinion thats what makes you a good musician not that you can play a million notes in a second

[twathead2005]

have you ever got me into playing bass, nice :)

[4111august]

IBANEZ ATK!!!!

[crickettbt]

What song is that at 1:45 to 1:54?

[BassistBill1988]

Trust In You, off of Rise and Fall Rage and Grace

[crickettbt]

Ok, thanks, I haven't listened to Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace in a while.

[bad88habit]

total immortal...

[BassistBill1988]

Yeah, it's an AFI song, so technically it's not Greg's work, but I think the Offspring covered it better, as they do with most cover songs.

[haffira]

oh and if you notice.. he's the only one who didn't change that much. lol.

[haffira]

i love mr kriesel! and thanks for this video. woohoo!

[SonicAssassin732]

greg is awsome

and it took me ages to find out what the k stood for
