➡️ BRR BRR DENG! "Dig" by @mudvayne was such a unique song to drop in the year 2000 and the ferocious bass grooves from bassist Ryan Martinie absolutely drove the sound on their debut release L.D. 50. I truly loved the resurgence of this track with the 'Brbr Deng' memes years ago, as it really highlighted what an incredible bass player Ryan is to younger audiences. In this video, I analyze the amazing "Ryan's Angle" version of their official music video which allows me to really dissect his technique and playing style. I focus on his incredibly seasoned showmanship, his mastery of fast technique switching, his slap & pop technique, chordal strumming, and his constant use of the floating-thumb technique when resetting as he transitions from slapping to fingerstyle. Last but not least, his signature Warwick Thumb bass tone adds an incredibly intense texture to Mudvayne's heavy riffs, so I had to break mine out, too...

LD50 was the album that showed me that bass can be the focal point in a metal album. Ryan is insane.
Tell me you found Korn shortly after 😂
@@rammsteinrulz16 nah, found Korn before that but never got big into them. Always loved the bass line in Got the Life though.
Primus was my into to that!
Primus and Rush existed
Metallica when Cliff was still alive.
Ryan is an insane player he even leaves parts of songs unwritten so that he can completely improvise them live and he never plays any songs the exact same way twice.
Ryan does some epic Bass solos as well in his own music..
Have you ever seen “Nuclear power Trio?”
They’re a band made up of 3 guys from 3 different bands, like Havok, Allegaeon and Job for a cowboy.
Lead guitarist is Donald Trump, drummer is Kim Jong Un and the Bass player is Putin 🤣
Well I thought for a long time that the bass player was Ryan, due to the way he plays and the sick AF bass solos…….It’s actually Nick Schendzielos from Havok.
@@Acheron666 Man, I thought that was really Trump.
@@BirdOfHermes8381
Nah, it’s Greg Burgess from Allegaeon…One of the best technical guitar players alive.
They just dress up like Putin, Trump and Kim Jong Un and wear realistic silicone masks….They even got the hair styles spot on with the masks.
And Kim’s drums have a picture of Kim on them 😂🤣
Their songs “Ukraine in the Membrane” and “Stick it up the Pyongyang” have really funny videos…..Osama bin laden is the terminator in them 😂🤣
Negative One is a song I think he doesn't play the way is in the album, specially in the verse part, go watch a live performance, is so much better than the album version
Really, I've noticed a few change up but wasn't aware he left music unwritten to improve later. Thats dope he's definitely got the technical skills to pull that off.
Ryan is such a beast. Happy's line is just amazing, you would love to see it.
You should've seen him at Tattoo the Earth, he climbed a 10 foot stack of speakers, jumped off, surfed the crowd and didn't miss a single note which is crazy! And back then there where no backing tracks!
Was tattoo the earth tour with 40 below summer? Like the last one they did the horror themes?
All his basslines are amazing!
that was the comment i wanted to make
Do that next
Saw Mudvayne open for Rob Zombie last year and they opened with Dig. Ryan was running all over the stage the entire show. Dude is still a ball of energy!
Wish their singer wasn't a complete mess because the rest of the band still have a lot left in the tank.
@@DX5555555I agree Chad sings terribly. The extra weight and possibly the alcohol had crippled his voice. I really hope that he recovers, he used to sing gorgeously
Me too i was at the pnc show
8 ball of energy lol
I saw Mudvayne open for Korn like 15 years ago, and Ryan was an animal. Stage presence was out of this world - you're right! I've never seen so much energy, the guy is phenomenal.
He is even more insane live. The faces, the crazy body angles, he is a maniac madman and a bass god
Goals!
He used to run marathons during shows ! Also, i think he comes from jazz, and in later albums he uses more tapping techniques, which he explains in several videos ...
Dude Martinie is like the final boss of bassists. Absolute monster.
Nah that would be the lord Victor wooten
Nah, that's Larry Graham 😂
Dominic LaPointe is the best, period.
@@joaninyourmomWooten is booring, I'd pick Martinie every day
After you beat Martinie, Les Claypool descends from the rafters with a 3 string pitchfork.
Ryan is easily THE most underrated bassist in the game. He's is absolutely crazy. He is just incredible live. Some parts of his songs he completely improvises every time he is on stage. He truely is an amazing musician.
He's one of a kind - bringing such tasty stuff TO nu metal back then, and then bringing such intense flair FROM nu metal to his newer projects. I just love the wide breadth of stuff he's been a part of, all behind his signature playing style.
@@LowEndUniversity he is in another band called soften the glare, which is complete opposite of mudvayne, would be cool to get your thoughts on one of those songs
try his jazz music
Definitely agree. I saw them live several years back in a small venue and I was only about 15 feet from the stage right in front of him. His energy is unmatched.
the Death Blooms bass line is incredible
ld 50 album all have great bass and drums
Yes 😊
Death Blooms is my favourite track in terms of bass on L.D. 50, you should check that one out too! The chords he uses are bonkers haha. And of course, the tone is typical premium quality Martinium.
100% agree... Death Blooms and Nothing To Gein were my favs!!!
I was about to say death blooms and then saw this post.
Yeah death blooms is otherworldly bassing
NO doubt the best song there. But "Severed" bassline is just... orgasmic.
Growing up and listening to bands like this, slipknot, and tool, my dad hated it. But every now and then he would hear the bass lines and would grab a bass and start trying to learn it.
Ryan is an icon. No one was playing bass like him in the metal scene. Another rad bass player you should check out is Dan Briggs from between the buried and me. He's a monster too.
Viridian blew me away 🎉
Always thought Ryan was under appreciated as a bass player. An absolute BEAST🔥
I remember being 15 and desperately trying to play this... Then I realized this guy was on a completely different level... One of the best albums of all time.
Ryans technique and music theory knowledge is off the charts...by far death blooms is one of his most technical displays...he incorparates modes and scales so smoothly it makes me jealous
On the DVD single for Dig, there was a camera angle for each member of the band
Ryan on this album was the first time i felt like i had "heard" bass on a metal album! I remember hearing severed for the first time and being hooked on bass ever since! Prod and death blooms are also super top tier bangers too 🔥🤘😄🤘🔥
Ain’t that the truth is the first time I ever heard of fucking baseline shine through like a mofo
True for me as well!
Their bass player is fire. I'm a guitarist but love when bassist stand out. He's awesome
the LD50 album is amazing...the bass is the best part too
Unique ADADG tuning to play around with octaves as well, Ryan's struck note playing style fits perfectly.
Pretty sure its in drop B (ignores lowest string whole song playing it as a 4 string bass). Cause I know on Guitar is played in drop B(on a regular 6). Also a guy called CoverSolutions(on yt, personal GOAT for covers) tunes his Bass to Drop B and it makes sense to me.
@fireball7562 That always confused be as well. He does his own custom drop tuning. Drop b for this, then not falling Era songs are drop C on a five string?
Tuning on L.D.50 is F#BF#BE and later albums are GCGCF. Soften the Glare is ADADG.
@@stefantasic9271 True, I was just making the point that his octave tuning is pretty cool and unique. Lower tunings for the heavy stuff, STG is a bit more fusion style, no need for the lower tunings. Take care!
For this time period, I was always caught up with Ryan, Sam rivers (bizkit), and Pnut (311). Three guys in the arena of rock, but such unique and varying playing styles. Mudvayne was really unique to me because they were MUCH deeper than most of their nu metal counterparts. MV played the heavy sound, but each instrument was playing intricate and detailed jazz styled timing, elaborate sections in their own right. Truly talented and incredible players.
Side note…in this video I always thought he looked like Mark Tremonti with makeup 😂
Ryan isn't just a bass player. He's a demi-god of bass.
Ryan did a great job on LD50! That whole album was awesome! His style seems to shine even more with Soften the Glare.
Going back to LD50 now, I realise that the bass really sets the tone for the whole album.
@@josephnevin Yep! The guitar was more of a background rhythm guitar and Ryan took over the melody a lot of the time.
I've never heard this mix! The bass line is so much more than I knew!
Glad you finally heard it brother!! It deserves all the ears!!
Ryan is an absolute monster at playing bass. Him and Fieldy from Korn are who got me interested in playing. The only thing about Dig is it doesn't show his full range, Mudvayne has other songs where he really goes ham.
If you want a treat, 7Sloth here on UA-cam has some really good Mudvayne bass covers.
I’ve never seen Mudvayne played better by a non-band member than his covers
@@Lurch685 the only one I’ve found that does them better in my opinion than 7sloth is a guy that’s channel name is Supergarrikkk or something close to that. He is spot on with his Mudvayne covers. Hits every note perfectly.
I saw them last year when they were one of the opening acts for Rob Zombie. Ryan is still a monster, he was shredded and running around the stage like a madman. He's still basically in the same shape as he was in this video and the antics you see aren't far off what he's doing live.
Right?! It's nuts. I'd need a ton of beer before I take my shirt off on stage...
@@LowEndUniversity the rest of the band... uh... appeared to have covered all the beers for Ryan.
😅
This whole album and the one after it are both masterpieces worth listening to. Especially for their bass and drums.
Agreed, both albums kind of had a big epic sound to them, great musicianship.
A fellow Justin agrees.
I actually enjoyed "The End of All Things to Come" more than I did "LD-50". Both were great, but I thought the sophomore effort was more focused.
You right, that album is the best!
Ryan Martinie is to bass like George Lynch is to guitar: absolute monster, really technical heavy/funky/blues/jazz and controlled as well as massively underrated.
I play this song almost everyday as a warm up. Such a fun song and one of my top favorite bands 🤘🏻
For StG I would highly recommend “Turn Around” or “March of the Cephalopods”
Amazing bass lines in both of those songs.
The verse is a perfect slap exercise imo
I hope they make another album, and I hope it's chock full of songs with pure energy like Dig, and the End of All Things to Come. Hands down my favorite band of all time, and thank you for mentioning Ryan's other band so I can check them out!
Death blooms. Give that one a shot. Love when people play their own unique ways. He is awesome.
Ryan is the reason I got into bass, learned about dozens of amazing bassists. He pioneered that unique style of playing.
Yes but let’s not forget about John Entwistle. He may not have used the turning or the butterfly technique the same way but you can see the influence.
more mudvayne bassline reactions! There's so much to see. Severed is crazy aswell
I love when Ryan slaps the bass. And it sounds like bells. You can just hear those metal strings being slapped.....
These reaction videos have really gotten me to get more inspired to practice more often. please keep them coming!
Great video! I love the breakdowns of Ryan's playing especially Dig
More to come!
This BRR BRR DANG is one of my teen years' best sounds. I love this band.
I love your videos dude! Legendary bass player right here!
Great video/analysis! Ryan’s tone is really heavy on the highs/high mids. It is so freaking bright! It definitely makes that busy bass playing jump right out of the mix.
Can’t wait to see your Soften The Glare review.
Travis Q
Ryan's Plucking on the chorus was what always got me hooked on this video cuz it's just so unbelievably aggressive and controlled
Ryan is not only a monster player but entertaining all the way through.
That Warwick sound is unmistakable. Ryan is an absolute beast, but by all accounts really humble.
This song has taking me forever to learn ,think I'll need to go back to the basics for slapping da bass 😁
Good luck brother!! It took me a min to get down as well!
L.D. 50 is by far their best cd!
YES! So happy to see this one come up, Ryan is amazing, and not just for the meme lol he has a little minute and a half clip on the Basstheworld channel, and you get to see more of Ryan's signature style, and you can very clearly hear how Mudvayne's music got it's more unique metal sound. There's a reason the guys from Korn asked Ryan to fill in for Fieldy when he couldn't make the tour, and he definitely earned some serious respect when he played those shows. Such a talented player, and the largest reason I fell in love with bass guitar as an instrument.
I remember being 12 years old and having my tiny, little brain blown to bits after seeing this vid.
This is without a doubt, one of the best bass performances of all time.
Another fun one from this album is Internal Primates Forever. He gets a truly heavy song to bounce and swing. Puts his heavy slap in the lower register then jumps up and plays jazzy cords then back to the slapping in the basement again...he's an insane rhythm, tone and texture player.
🤘
Luv your vids! Cheers from Brazil.
Love this channel. As someone who plays and is in the process of getting shows with a band I’m in this wonderful instructor will always be more talented and technically knowledgeable than be, but despite that I always love learning the technique and entertainment behind every one of his videos, and despite playing for 10 years now I always find myself learning more from his videos, and I love it! Much appreciated for the wonderful content, haven’t been watching long but damn love everything I see! 🤘🏻
Me* not be Lmao
Sooo good! Thanks for highlighting one of the most distinct players to come along in the past ~two decades. A video on a Soften the Glare song would be great as well. He has so many techniques in his toolbox and he somehow makes them all sound fluid and musical. I'd love to see more of a deep-dive into his 'struck chords' style of playing that employs some unique tunings.
Thank you so much, I appreciate this! Soften The Glare video coming soon, for sure. Stay tuned!
He's an absolute savage! Always has been always will be. Every live performance he throws nothing but heat! Incredibly underrated band.
This song made me want to learn bass in the first place. That tone is sooooo good
Yea man!!! Love Ryan. Awesome video man.
Clicked on this because this is such a great song and band. Great insight! Did not know about Soften the Glare. Had to go straight to it the second you spoke about it. Wow! Such an awesome band, soo jazzy and beefy🙏 Thanks!
If you haven't added Ryan to your top 5, you need to do so now! He is legendary! I grew up on Mudvayne they are my DNA!
Ryan was super influential in my bass playing. I had his exact set up, Warwick Neck-Thru 5, Ampeg SVT2-Pro, Ampeg PR810 as much stuff as I could recreate of his I could. The tone was so much fun to play.
One thing that makes his technique work, and he mentioned this in a video or article years ago was the Drop D flat tuning. With the DR Low Rider Long Neck strings they gave a more trampoline like feel to his playing. It was so fun to learn the songs once you understand all the mechanics of his playing.
Hard to think of what Mudvayne would have sounded like over the years if they kept their original bassist.
Great breakdown here! Ancient memes aside, this song is so good when that drop happens when it goes slow! I always considered them as Nu Metal due to the rapping style.
Thank you so much! It's a really well-written song, truthfully. It bridges that Nu Metal and 'Prog Metal" sort of funk gap, really interesting blend that each band member contributes. The drumming is more nuanced than people think as well!
This video and ryno especially sold me on this band back in 2000.
Incredible.
When I heard mudvayne in 2000 I was on a entire new bass journey, found out it was Ampeg he was using and a Warwick NT Thumb and got it all,! He has changed so many of our lives
As a guitarist and bassist, I love your very well done reviews. It’s like 2 musicians, sitting down and playing together. Keep up the great work
Yes. He on a little different level than other bass players in that era. Super solid, but also super technical. A joy for a fellow bass player to listen to.😊
I was always so amazed by the precision of the 16th notes percussive plucking and sitting on a kick drum. I suppose back then they didn't quantize how it's easily done nowadays... well respect, really outstanding performance.
Couldn't agree more. That slap/pop fill and the way it locks in with the drums at 4:27 in the video is insanely tight and articulated. Just, money.
There are clips on UA-cam of Martinie tracking the bass for a couple of songs on the album, Dig included, and you can tell it took a shit ton of takes to nail down. It's just stupid impressive.
I believe it!!
@@BeardedDanishViking I've tried to find it and I found only the one with Not Falling. Could you help? :D
Definitely part of the uniqueness of this band, Drummer as well. Honestly all musicians are perfect together! Best album!
You should do the song March of the Cephalopods by Soften The Glare the bass is insane on that song.
Coming soon! That, or "Palimpsest"!
It definitely is!! There’s not a bassline that Ryan does that can’t be looked at with a fine tooth comb and admire for hours..
Just posted this one today! 🙏🏼
Seriously, math metal, nu metal, Metal metal, or however you want to classify it, this has got to the coolest bass on a metal song I've ever heard...all phalanges in play... It's impossible to hear and not want to run around the block in record time.
The thing about the band especially at this time its like lead bass and rhythm guitar. Ryan is phenomenal. If you want to hear someone who he inspired immensely, check out Job For A Cowboy, if you havent already. Nick sounds so much like Ryan that when I first heard his playing, I thought it WAS Ryan.
I love Nick, old friend of mine - I plan to cover one of his bands soon in the future!
Ryan and Matt together built a powerhouse rhythm section, so OP.
Yeah matt was also doing stuff no one was doing at the time aside from maybe tool. It's crazy to me that the two best duos musically in this kind of genre in these two and then dime and vinnie... and they managed to basically half each band and make hell yeah sound so terribly average
@@benbray4982Lol tool are garbage .
Never got into them.
Mudvayne kick their ass live
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 solid conversation. 0 /,10
@benbray4982 Nah. Go see Mudvayne live.
Matt kicks Danny's ass on drums and Ryan's bass work in untouchable.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 never said anything against Ryan. Only said the only people using time sigs like that at the time were them and tool. You're ranting and arguing about something you imagined. Hence this conversation is a 0 out of 10. Its literally you arguing with yourself.
Saw them live on summer sanitarium 2003 and they played during a rain storm and it was insanely epic for 15 year old me lol. Was right around the time I started playing bass and I was blown away
I always forget they did that run with Metallica. I bet that was a hell of a show - I feel like I saw footage of that a long time ago. Hell of an opportunity for them at the time.
I remember that show in Philly back when it was at the Vet (Veterans Stadium). Mudvayne, Linkin Park, Deftones, Limp Bizkit and Metallica. I think it's the first show I've seen Mudvayne without all the makeup. But they've always been awesome live
The best part of this video, is the bass is elevated even higher in the mix than the studio version. It’s actually my favorite way to listen to the song.
I remember hearing this song for the first time. A buddy of mine showd it to me when I got into heavy music and started playing bass. My first reaction was like: "Wait!? You can be this funky while playing metal bass!?" So while I never got even close to Ryan's technique, he really influenced my way to go about writing bass parts for my band(s). Use of strumming/power chords, octave tappings, using slap bass in metal, etc.
I saw them live in '05, and have been wanting to see them again ever since. In May, that wait will FINALLY end!
Dude this album is essentially what got me into playing bass in the early 2000s, was a percussionist in school but didn't have the space or money for drums so it was bass or guitar and I chose bass already being a man of rhythm, lol but really just cuz I wanted to learn these sick ass lines. Was so happy to finally be able to see them live for the first time last year.
One of the best albums for bass of all time!! There is also a Ryan angle of “Dull Boy” if you haven’t seen that I definitely recommend it for sure!!! Would luv to see you go live on here 🤘😎
Great reaction video. Thoroughly enjoyed. I have never seen this version of the music video. Ryan is such a great bassist
I'm pretty sure it's pronounced "Warrick". :)
100% correct
Ryan is a machine. One of my favorite baselines is in shadow of a man. He seamlessly jumps between a groovy and simple and then unleashes during the chorus
I like the part where it goes BRRR BRRR DING
Hey Mark, recently came across your channel and loving all your reaction videos! Also loved your work in STS on The Migration.
My fave late 90s early 20k metal bassist. Very impressive.
I got to see Mudvayne live back in 2000 and this guy’s playing was just phenomenal. He used a pick when he would strum chords then seamlessly change to playing with his fingers. It was fun to watch the guy play.
Best metal rhythm section of their era. Ryan and Matt are just elite
Such a great song. And Ryan absolutely shreds.
I honestly never got into nu metal back in the days because I was born a bit too early to appreciate them being on my early 20s during those 2000s high years of the genre (I was already a metalhead and as you might guess, very foolishly gatekeeping of the genre) but the one thing that definitively doesn't gets talked about enough about nu metal is some of the bass work which was just *chef's kiss*
Like this song for example: I'd expect these bass lines from Claypool or Trujillo during the earlier 90s stuff but on nu metals I'm affraid we were sleeping on those bass players.
Nu metal in general is still utter crap though.
Death Blooms is my favorite baseline by him.
Mudvayne was one of my favorite bands growing up and I always knew Ryan was good but never fully appreciated how good he is, incredible musicianship
Bass and drums don’t always get the respect they deserve especially in metal bands 🤘🤘
This is SO true!!
DAMN, dude. i've heard this song a million times but seeing him play makes it sound SO aggressive. that is some crazy makeup and look. them eyerolls. also, wow, i never tuned into the bass on this one. you're right it IS funky! and his playing style is nuts. ((literally heard this song today. i'm partway in and i'm hearing the rest of the song in my head.)) had no idea they dressed 'im like a weird demon dude. looks psycho. wonder how many takes it took to get that whole mood.
What a monstrous performer
the LD50 their first album... very unique..lot of mix of different styles..and that BASS... very good album
I've always listened to different styles of music growing up. Genre's an all.. Then I heard Mudvayne in 2001 and that was it. I was hooked. Ryan Martinie is the reason I play bass, 19yrs strong now. Thank you Ryan, you have no idea what you've done for me. I will always be grateful. You're the goat 🐐 in my eyes 👀..
Ryan is one of the most amazing, underrated bass players of all time... in my opinion. He needs so much more recognition for his style.
Bit of a fun fact: Ryan’s chest tattoo was part of the first wave of hybrid tattooing. It was done at the same time by both Legendary tattoo artists Paul Booth and Filip Leu
I'm going to the Mudvayne show here in fl on july 20th and I can't fkn wait 🤘❤️
Been waiting for Ryan! From soften the glare you should do turn around. There’s a great live video and that one is as melodic as funky. Great stuff!
If you're doing Soften the Glare, PLEASE do "Palimpsest" That song is soooooo good
First metal bass player I was truly in awe of…his playing was just something I had never seen before. So much technique and talent in a unique package…great stuff. Mudvayne’s rhythm section has always been top of the mountain, so clean.
Once I found out that Ryan had a Jazz Fusion band, I knew I had to check it out. His bass playing is so unique and instantly recognizable. "March of the Cephalopods", "Mission Possible", "Two Dozen", and "Turn Around", all off the "Making Faces" album are showcases to why Ryan continues to be the bassist icon he is. "Aposematic", "Hedonic 7" and "Cluck" are also quite the examples from the "Glint" album.
This song really made me fall in love with warwick basses i love that tone never been able to play or own one but if i was gonna buy a expensive bass id go for a thumb just because they sound so cool
Death Blooms and Know Forever also have some wicked awesome bass. I absolutely love this album and I always sing the praises of the bass.
His typewriter-style fingertip hammering is like nothing I've ever seen! Wow!
This song still blows my mind 24 years later!
It's been said a million times already, but I'll say it again. Ryan is one of the most underrated bass players of our time.
If you haven't heard it yet, I recommend checking out Mudvaynes track "Severed". It highlights every member of the band's instrument, the bass is my personal favourite piece of the song 🤟
Since you're in the era, you should explore Fieldy's bass sound (Korn). I don't know if I've ever heard anyone replicate that clicky sound he does, especially during the Follow The Leader part of their discog. That section in Got The Life was so badass, I thought it was David doing double kicks with triggers.
Awesome... .... Love this song!!!
