- Well, this video I do not expect to get a tons of views. Not many know about this obscure post-punk era band that existed in the 1980's beyond their theme song for "Jackass". However, bass players probably have heard of the bass player, Mike Watt. Watt brought a style that was unparalled at the time. Power, accuracy, and a penchant for writing the coolest bass lines. Back in the day, he would use a pick and his fingers. You just never knew.
I still am a fan of the early Mike Watt stuff as well as his latest solo adventures and his time with Firehose. I sure do miss "My First Bells" and "From Ohio", which were stolen from me when I was a pizza driver.
This tune is one of my faves off of Minutemen's "Double Nickles on the Dime" album.
well done, man.
this is one of my minutemen faves.
definitely one of the most underrated bands on the planet.
I discovered Minuteman a few days ago and hate myself for not hearing of them years ago. LOVE THEM.
Good job on the bass...it's perfect.
Dude, for real. You look blissed out!
RIP
Easily my favorite Minutemen song. GREAT VIDEO!
probably my favorite video of youtube. i love playing minutemen
Very nice indeed, you have a real feel for the song.
The first time I saw the minutemen, they totally blew my mind, such a tight 3 piece. I just kept looking back and forth, they were working so hard. What a great band !
Your bass playing brings it all back, thanks.
Awsome Rob, I love it!!! I am so stoked you decided to do some minutemen. I didn't think I could pull off most the songs off this ablum but I knew you were capable! Great job!
i dont remember how i came across the minutemen but after reading about them and listening to mike watt's basslines i was hooked good vid man
Coming back a couple years later, I'm glad that I asked if you could do this. It's still so damn good.
AMAZING mike watt is my bass hero.
what a class tune, this is the first time i have heard of these guys. def going to check out some more of there stuff. great playing by the way
one word: NIIIICE!
this is probably one of your best.
fucking relentlessly on point, sick!
thats so tight man great playing
Nailed it on the Ric. RIP D Boon.
Fantastic job man, The minutemen had some great bass lines, same with Gang Of Four
mandou bem cara !
bomzao!
WAAYYYYYY COOL!!
I didn't discover the Minutemen until last year...i avoided punk back in the day because I thought it was just crappy noise and anger (Zep, Rush, Nugent, Zappa, were my thing).
But of course, The Minutemen were just three VERY talented musicians playing the punk scene.
One day...
I hope to be a good bassist as you.
Seriously man, that was incredible. I was gonna ask you for a tab, but it'd be way over my amateur head. Mad props!
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEESSS!!!! you NEED to do Vietnom from double nickles next man!!!!! thank you for this!!!
Mr. Robass5, check out my Firehose video. That is Mike Watt also.
nice job sir, you ripped that well even added in some nice things. i played the d boon role in a couple minutemen/black flag tribute shows we did out here in worcester,ma. my brother portrayed watt. gotta keep the minutemen alive.
I bet this has been asked before, but is there any way you could tab this out?
Hey, man. I appreciate this for two reasons: a) you're a damn good bass player, and pretty much nail it, and b) you chose not to play along to something totally corny. Few will apprecate it, but those who do REALLY DO.
does anyone know the chord that D boone is playing?
Love the song - you do a great job. Though the reason why the song is every cooler is that he doesn't slap in the song! That's the best part - NO SLAP! Which really shows just how amazing Watt is - he plays really hard and that mixed with his "tone" creates a very unique sound. But no slap.
Economen need a bass.....where do you live?
"I work my way backwards using cynicism." D.Boone could write.
Excellent job Rob, Cool song off of an excellent album. My old band used to cover them and firehose back in the day. Oh, am I old? 5/5
i really like the way you played this but i miss the Db D and high A in the break down part.. Know what i mean? Still rockin it out for sure tho
some questions wonderful man!...i'm italian...excuse for my poor english...1)4001?or 4003?
2)your right hand tecnique...how do you use your finger?three or 2 fingers ?i admire your style and i like it too much.
you've got your mutes down pat, but it sounds like you're playing riffs as you get to them in the song--basically what that results in is playing out of the pocket. especially watch those rising octaves and the return. the key is to practice the mixture of techniques out of context, so you can perform each cohesively. great playing, great tone, great song, just my two cents. oh, and I think you were wondering--I'm pretty sure watt was using his P&J Yamaha DI to the board on Double Nickels.
Much love for this band, this song, and you. I love all the shit you do man, great job. You can check out my version of Nothing Indeed if you feel like it.
i can't understand what you are doing, you are too fast! Are you using double thumb for the main riff? Please make a tab for this, it is a great rendition (better then the original)!
Did you learn that by ear?
