can you suggest any difficult punk rock basslines for me to play?

i just learned adina by rancid, journey to the end of eastbay by rancid, and hysteria by muse.

note-- my favorite music to play is punk rock, (examples~ rancid, nofx, bad brains, minor threat, descendents, dead kennedys, all that stuff) i know muse isnt punk rock but the hysteria intro is classic

NoFX - The Decline

Hysteria's rather easy, one you figure it out.

not difficult, but anything by Big Black is really fun to play. I'd suggest starting with a song like Bad Penny

The Pixies- Where is my mind

Roy Vogt · #6 01-04-2013, 10:04 PM

Almost anything by MXPX.

Not super difficult, but one of my favorites is 88 fingers louie - "Go Away"

Rancid - Timebomb is fun to play. Not insanely difficult, but had a cool walking bass line.

Another that's not super difficult, but it ain't easy either. And it's wicked fun to play http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3R-UlspWEM .

Check out the chili peppers first few albums. There's a lot of stuff there that challenging.

Give 'Walking Away' by Streetlight Manifesto a listen. It's not quite punk rock, but it's close enough and definitely a difficult one to keep up with.

Death From Above stuff is always wicked fun. I don't know if any of it's actually hard, but it's fun. That melodic pick scraping thing at the beginning of Romantic Rights is great. Took me a little while to figure out what that was.

Some Mongoloids jams

Emilym80 · #15 01-05-2013, 12:53 AM

Riot and We've Got a Bigger Problem Now by the Dead Kennedys aren't overly hard but they're fun and a lot busier than most punk basslines.

sub'd

Musicman20 · #17 01-05-2013, 03:16 AM

Cool thread alert! Yep I'd suggest some Lagwagon as well. Anything off Trashed. NOFX Olive Me...or All Of Me...they seem to have two titles for it. Rancid Maxwell Murder.

Matt B · #18 01-05-2013, 03:22 AM

the press corpse by anti-flag...

epic song!!!

nukes_da_bass · #19 01-05-2013, 03:26 AM

"It's Too Late" by The Jim Carrol Band- then teach me I've gotten it wrong for 30 years

PJSim · #20 01-05-2013, 03:51 AM
