I hate to say it but if i were in that croud hearding what J & Co were producing i would not be stood still,This has to be the BEST version of ''Thumb'' Evere..Dance you Bastards!
@Dave-O Def Mike Watt. His bass playing fits the sound perfectly, and he knows how to make things a little screwy, something that adds to J, and Dinos, sound... when he kept singing "you won't see me" in The Wagon in that weird deep voice while J hits the high, its like, lolwut but still kicks such ass. Perfect for J.
@12inchvertical depends on what songs. Both and all other bassists have made their contributions which I think sounds good. Have listened to some mike watt with j mascis and the fog bootlegs and there are much good stuff. I like this line up. Was lucky to see them once.
first heard this on the whatevers cool with me Ep live version when i was a teen. this is much better live than the song on green mind in my opinion. mascis has invincible solos. on the EP he just off handed says, "we got a couple more for you" and then rips into this song.
@12inchvertical Check out the firehose albums "Ragin Full On" and "If'n" for some really good old funk punk. Watt is more featured with firehose. Dominant bass work. Check'm out! Guarantee you'll be entertained.

Mike Watt, dude can play bass.
The Thumb from Whatever's Cool With Me is slightly better. Listen to it. Once you memorize the solo, you hum along to it.
whaddaya mean hair aside? his hair is badass as fuck...kinda like this performance
Actually hair aside hes looking better then ever. I saw Dino a couple of weeks ago and he looks way thinner.
Cool..J hardly ever uses the Blue Box.
@12inchvertical Have you ever listened to any firehose?

@Dhanijel1 In that case shame on them!
J mascis probably hates hipsters lol
