    Reel Big Fish is sometimes unfairly derided, even among ska circles, as a bit of a gimmick band, thanks to their unabashed, snarky cockiness and outright silliness (not to mention Aaron Barrett's crooner-by-way-of-Looney Tunes vocal style). But when all is said and done, every member of the band, past and present, is a fantastic musician with top notch pop songwriting instincts. Scott Klopfenstein (RBF's former trumpet player, secondary vocalist, and general multi-instrumentalist), in particular, has an absolutely fantastic voice that really gives their earlier albums a ton of harmonic depth and range.
    Couple that with some of the best melodic horn writing in the genre, Barrett's glam-rock guitar chops, and Wong's endlessly creative grooves holding it down, and you get one of the best live bands of the 90s.

    • @YMDBass

      Seen as a bit of a gimmick? Outright silliness? Songs about beer? Where have I heard that before? That's right, the one and only Bad Manners. Much as The Specials and Beat are seen as influences for the 3rd wave, I don't think the irreverent attitude of the likes of RBF and the Aquabats could have existed without Bad Manners.

    • @CyberChunk77

      I think it was less about snark and more about the pop chops you described. Me, I bought their debut album and loved it, but I was always more of a fan of Op Ivy, Suicide Machines etc because I was into punk first. Never any disrespect to them. I had some friends who were big Bosstones fans, for example, who thought they were sellouts.... but I never liked the Bosstones much anyway so fuck it.

If you are thinking Sublime, some of my favorite bass songs that Eric Wilson (the bassist of Sublime) did was "All You Need", "New Song", "Ebin", "Date Rape", and of course "Santeria". They aren't the most complicated bass lines (well, "All You Need" was out of my league when I played bass way back when)....however they all drive the songs pretty well. Keep up the good work. Really enjoying these vides.

    Love your videos as a fellow bass player. You gotta check out Thrice stare at the sun.. the bass line still throws me through a loop

      Still a bassline I struggle with, but boy does it sound great. I thought about suggesting this, but was worried there wasn’t enough other than the main riff. Such a gnarly groove though.

    Fun Tidbit about the horns: They never actually recorded horns for this version of the song. The producer cobbled together a horn section from some outtakes from some other songs and they just went with it.

    Great breakdown and reaction. It got me thinking as a life long musician and you were on point. My formative years were in punk/ska/metal/everything music really. Back in the late 80's early 90's there was a large east coast/west coast battle thing in the ska scene but lots of grat bands in general. Other than R.B.F. check out Less Than Jake, Spring-heeled Jack, Skankin' Pickle, Bouncing Souls or Voodoo Glowskulls for a good start to late 80"s early 90's 3rd wave ska or ska/punk.

    I think this is probably one of my favorites. I play upright slap bass (rockabilly/ psychobilly) and love walking bass lines on the upright while slapping the fingerboard with percussive accents to the drummer.
    One of my favorite ska/punk bands is the voodoo glow skulls in the 90’s they were fucking great!

    I’m glad you’re working some of these 3rd wave ska bands into your punk journey because that’s just how it played out in real life! Your Goldfinger review made me want to hear you tackle No Doubt (who just had a Coachella reunion) and hearing the horns here make me want to hear your take on The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Something before they became more radio friendly with their big hit Let’s Face It. My suggestion would be the album Don’t Know How to Party and the song Someday I Suppose. Plenty of horns and roaming bass throughout.

    "All You Need" is a Sublime masterpiece. Ska, punk and a pinch of alternative rock, one of my favorite songs from them!
    And any Alkaline Trio song that picks your interest 😉👍

    @matthewganong1730 10 місяців тому

    Matt Wong is one of my favorite bass players. His playing on their live records and DVDs is incredible. For their live albums, the band admitted that they tweaked and overdubbed some of it in post but that they didn’t have to touch any of his playing because he never makes mistakes.
    And yes, you are 100% right; Wong plays a Stingray 5.

    They were the most fun band I ever saw live. saw them at least 12 times. Streetlight was a little sloppy live but still a lot of fun. RBF 1993-2020
