    He seems to be underrated. People hear Green Day's songs and on first listen a lot of their songs seem extremely simple, which is mostly because of the guitar's power chords, but when you listen closely to the bass lines on Dookie, you'll realize there's tons and tons of details in them.

    • @gabrielcasagrande9463
      @gabrielcasagrande9463 5 років тому +35

      If you look closely to the guitars, you gonna see that there's much more than power chords. Billie Joe mixes power chords and full chords and uses different chord shapes in the same song.

    Mike Dirnt was the reason I picked up bass, after my dad got me into Green Day. He and I would blast it all the time and he really wanted me to play bass.

    I play guitar, but everyone has been telling me that I should play the bass. Quite honestly, this man is the sole reason that I would ever imagine playing the bass.

    I wished he tried No One Knows. God, the bassline on that song is just... Gold

    “Stuart and the avenue” is one of the most underrated greenday songs when it comes to bass

    I just did a cover on here of “Too Dumb to Die” using a fender Bassman 500 DI output only. The clarity and tone of this amp is incredible! Fender you got this Amp totally Spot on!
