I think Matt freeman revolutionized punk bass, no one can touch his fast out burst of notes and yet he still knows when to hold the fort. Matt's playing has been a huge influence for me.
and when was Rancid pop?

How naive...
Rancid hit it big with "Ruby Soho" in the nineties, so to say "around 2K1" is a joke.
Not that it even matters.
Nevertheless, if you're voting for Mike Dirnt, your ears deceive you.

I always thought Rancid was real punk...
EVERYTHING I KNOW AROUND ME IS CRASHING DOWN!
Dirnt is a badass. I bet he could do everything Freeman can and then some
I Doubt that. Rancid's And Out Come the Wolves... is a great album with great bass playing
I Generally like all there stuff from 1990-1997, i haven't listened ot them in a while tho, I probably should...
And yeah - all the descendents bassists were good, but their names slip me - Milo Goes To College is great playing

That's right, punker than thou. What other genre could you possibly call Rancid by?Secondhandloser said:
Voted Freeman, Dirnt's great in the genre but can't touch Freeman's style.
I've always prefered Dirnts phrasing. They're both great, I don't really see their styles as being comparable.
Matt Freeman vs. the first bass player from Satanic Surfers makes more sense to me. Speed vs. speed.
Dirnt vs Alvarez would be a good comparison.

The label pop to me doesn't classify things as popular, pop has always been radio rock and such, very mainstream. Thats why I hate titles, the word punk has been dragged through the dirt labeling everything from simple plan to even AC DC 
. Emo is another horrible one. What music doesnt have emotion?
. Emo is another horrible one. What music doesnt have emotion?how could you even compare the two? i mean i love mike dirnt but he couldnt hold a candle to matt freeman on a bad day. listen to axiom or maxwell muder and tell me that im wrong.
