This dude is why I started playing bass. He’s my favorite bassist and doesn’t get the credit he deserves. I’m a chick and started playing at 14, now 35 and still playing. His stuff is the greatest
I'm sure no one gives a squirt of piss, but this song has a special place in my heart. My brother and I (that's us pictured in my profile) were on a long distance trip from Michigan to West Virginia driving non-stop to see our Grandma one last time before she passed. It was well into the middle of the night and we were on a long stretch of the Ohio turnpike and this one come on. I was driving and turned my head to see if he had been able to get any sleep. He was awake and we locked eyes, we didn't have to say a word. We both knew we were on a journey to the end together. To this day I can't listen to this tune without a tear in my eye.
This album has to be one the best albums made I have several cds of it its always on play in my car everyday never get fed up of listening to it long live RANCID!!
39 years old, literally just bought my first bass ever and cant wait for it to get here! 100% only just because i grew up listening to rancid. thanks matt for inspiring me to try something new.
@@bicdiggity4710 nice, happy to hear you’re sticking with it. I started bass, as a secondary, or third instrument really, back in like 94/95, then bought a new fender in 2002, played sporadically until about 2010, then put it down until like 6 months ago. Now I’m really trying to learn everything I can. Making up for lost time. Bass is awesome, and Matt freeman is the man. Good luck to you, and don’t give up!
yanuar rahman ciri khas punk rock 90an gitu bass nya jalan, matt emg mantep, tapi masih banyak lagi yg sadis, coba lu denger roger less than jake, trus sama si bassisnya 88 fingers louie, bassisnya goldfinger yg pertama si simon, karl alvarez descendents dll
I'm Korean. There was a time when I couldn't keep my balance when I was 18. If I hadn't heard this song back then, I would still be the same as then. I couldn't understand what you said, but I could understand your energy. That energy is the jet engine that brought me this far. I respect you.
Matt Freeman, Tony Lombardo from The Descendents, and Klaus Fluoride from Dead Kennedys have the greatest signature styles. I never knew a bass player can steal the show until I heard their riffs. Very clean, catchy, and creative using just a pick. No thumb slapping.
Virtous guy here, I know shit about instruments but knew you were a damn fine musician by just listening to this song like the vey first time about 25 years ago or so. My respects from Argentina!! To all those who say punk rock is just plain music you'd better thnk twice.
Rancid Fans from Indonesia 🇮🇩 💪💪 27 years since first listening to their Out Come The Wolves album and still got the goosebumps each time play their whole tracks.. Even my 18 years old daughter love it ...
you know, it's not the song, lyrics, drums, or bass, but the smile you get when you're playing that put a smile on my face too. Thanks bud :) All the best
i'm a 47 years old french man. When I was young, I loved Operation Ivy. After, I loved Rancid. In both bands, I love the bass line.Matt Freeman is an incredible musician! (sorry for my bad english)
1995. This is gold. I heard this record for the first time dopesick off speedballs riding in my brother Lex's car to Davis, CA. I once asked Michael Hale, bass player for The Criminals, the best way to start learning the bass guitar. He said, "start with books & if you want a teacher, I can give you this guy's number. He actually teaches Matt Freeman.", I never called the man yet still love to play. Attempted to memorize a lot of Rancid songs. These videos have been a great help as I had a load of stuff wrong. Like this song...Thank you for putting this up. Cheers!!(A)
I'm literally crying right now. Journey To The End was *my song* back in 96, and your bassline was my obsession. And has been for 20+ years! The "crunchiest" bassline I've ever heard. Two years ago my husband bought me a bass because your bassline on this song is so beloved to me, but i really didn't think I could learn to play it at my age. Seeing this makes me think maybe i can. Thank you for decades of ripping ass and giving hope.
I love your smile when the music hit! No need to fickin back down!!! To the end. I can only imagine the memories you guys have playing., This world is fukkd!!!!
my first song learned on bass your awsome man .my dream has always been to jam with you .you are the reason why i play music today thanks alote for the gift...🤟😁
Out come the wolves...... Changed my life. 1997 I was 13yo and bought "Out come the wolves.... at the only record store my little town had at the time. I had one of those gimmick 5 disk changers with a giant subwoofer. Matt Freemans blazing bass riffs punched me square in the chest. I bought a bass and Amp 2 months later.
The insane ease of just moving your whole hand, when I felt like my fingers were flying everywhere when I first learnt this 😂 It just shows the importance of fingering, just getting used to the string positions and getting used to using all your fingers. Though I don’t play bass right now as I had to sell my sweet 2006 limited edition Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray, I seriously appreciate you! You are the person that got me into bass, though I never really got that good as I had limited access to my instrument I want to thank you so much! It really helped me through some tough times 🥰
I love this record. I taught myself how to play bass trying to copy Matt! I still listen to this album on the regular 20 something years later!!! Thank you for these vids Matt!!!! I used to love play along like this!!!!
48 now and feeling very nostalgic about a nostalgic song. 😂😂 Saw these guys on this tour. They could have called it quits with this one, nothing after came close to the first three.
Never never never forget when I was 9 and my brother corrupted my ears with this song and the Punk rock Genre, (Exploited,Rancid,Bad Religion,Penny wise and so forth) Man we had fun back in the GAP

No need to say your name when you're the best punk rock bass player in the world.
I second that, maxwell murder, nough said! Punk rock forever!
100%
Right on👊
Take out punk rock and your even more right
@@nolaneonta3439 I don't know about that. If you look up Chris Squire of the band Yes that guy was amazing on bass.
my favorite Freeman bass line of all time!!
This dude is why I started playing bass. He’s my favorite bassist and doesn’t get the credit he deserves. I’m a chick and started playing at 14, now 35 and still playing. His stuff is the greatest
I'm a 33 yo dude
I started listening to them in 2003
Now i have 4 DIF giggin bands as a bassists
My favorite bass line of all time. Thank you sir
This bass line will be around for hundreds of years. That's how badass it is.
Very tasty bass line :)
It's all time

It has a spot in mine too.
I lived that as I read it ahaaahaha. Those good moments on the spot that stay forever in our minds
And out come the wolves, is my go to album. I can still listen to it all the way though. At 40 years old.
Same here brother. Im 37 and out come the wolves was in my cars cd player pretty much all through highschool and to this day still never gets old.
I’m 44 and their first 3 albums were my road trip music back in early 20s.
I’m 35 and it’s still my go-to gym / swimming pool album!
37 here, not many Albums have passed my personal test of time but this one will stay. One of the best Punk Albums ever made, at least for me
d3nGu3 it’s a perfect album... Not a lot of those out there.
Best days of my life with this album!
Same here!
Same!!! I wore this cassette out completely
Me too, brother. AOCTW got me through my first rehab in the 90s. RANCID has gotten me through some of the roughest times in my life!!
same! i miss those days, i miss italy...
This album has to be one the best albums made I have several cds of it its always on play in my car everyday never get fed up of listening to it long live RANCID!!
39 years old, literally just bought my first bass ever and cant wait for it to get here! 100% only just because i grew up listening to rancid. thanks matt for inspiring me to try something new.
Been playing since I was 17, but TimeBomb was one of my inspirations! How are you getting on with your journey down to the low end?
Been playing all kinds of instruments for 30 years, wise investment (you buying your bass). Happy motoring my friend!
How’s it coming along? What kind of bass btw?
@@bobbythompson4268 Jackson, I'm getting there. I'm no matt Freeman but I have some riffs lol

Cheers from San Diego California USA. I heard Indonesian Punk scene is doing great in 2021!
This song takes me back to my childhood
😊
This man does not like playing bass... HE LOVES IT!!
He's just loving it. Huge smile on his face as he's rocking out.
And playing that same bassline for three decades and it's still fun for him. May we all get as much enjoyment from our music.
When someone has a bass and they ask you to play, this is the go to show off riff. So iconic.
It’s
Easy to play but fuck how do you write this shit!!
Man this video is in my mind 20 years ago 😂
Been playing this song every time I pick up my bass the last 20 years.
I'm Korean. There was a time when I couldn't keep my balance when I was 18. If I hadn't heard this song back then, I would still be the same as then. I couldn't understand what you said, but I could understand your energy. That energy is the jet engine that brought me this far. I respect you.
This was awesome to watch, now do Maxwell Murder!
My sentiments exactly!
You don’t tell Matt Freeman what to do.
Damnit I just said this was the best bass line ever completely forgetting about Maxwell Murder 😢
Matt Freeman, Tony Lombardo from The Descendents, and Klaus Fluoride from Dead Kennedys have the greatest signature styles. I never knew a bass player can steal the show until I heard their riffs. Very clean, catchy, and creative using just a pick. No thumb slapping.
Tony Lombardo!!!!!!!
Your are friggen spot on my man!! 🅱️ass!!
Klaus Fluoride is a really amazing bassist. Usually when people think of the Dead Kennedys, they'd think more of Jello Biafra and East Bay Ray.
Yes, way to shout out Klaus! He is super original and also has probably the sickest J bass tone in punk music.
That's right. Just a pick no thumbs.
Matt can you do a story time some day? I'd love to hear some old rancid travel stories????
Yes please!
Yeah!
I concur, spill the beans Matt!
I thought this video was going to be a storyteller at first.
Would be awesome Matt!
Matt and Tim sound like the best storytellers in the band.
For some reason I've always loved the line "this ain't no mecca, man, this place is fucked". Thanks for posting these!
Damn. This brings back memories. I know I'm not the only one who picked up a bass because of Matt Freeman. Fuck. Those chunky, soulful sounds.
This album never gets old, Rancid has always been a solid band . This song is a great homage to Operation Ivy too.
Virtous guy here, I know shit about instruments but knew you were a damn fine musician by just listening to this song like the vey first time about 25 years ago or so. My respects from Argentina!! To all those who say punk rock is just plain music you'd better thnk twice.
Matt, you're one of my main influences, starting from back in the days of Op Ivy. The best punk bassist to ever play. Keep it real.
I have to like any comment which mentions Op Ivy!
Favorite band ever!! I could listen to Energy on repeat for days and STILL love it lol
😊😊😊😊😊😊
😊
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The look on his face while he's playing says it all, this man loves what he does for a living
absolutely... Matt is in heaven playing this song. Adding little riffs that are not even there in album or live tracks. He just loves it.
this is my favorite bassline ever written.
Rancid Fans from Indonesia 🇮🇩 💪💪
27 years since first listening to their Out Come The Wolves album and still got the goosebumps each time play their whole tracks..
Even my 18 years old daughter love it ...
punk transcends borders and generations! \m/
This song always makes me feel my youth is still alive. Best punk band ever.
Best Rancid song ever! Thanks for sharing Matt!
Rancid is a band that always play with their "HEART", but, Matt is the Rancid's "SOUL"!
you know, it's not the song, lyrics, drums, or bass, but the smile you get when you're playing that put a smile on my face too. Thanks bud :) All the best
To the end! to the end! 🔥👏
that made an old punk shed a tear! When he smiles and sings along... that's a beautiful moment. What a fucking bassline....
i'm a 47 years old french man. When I was young, I loved Operation Ivy. After, I loved Rancid. In both bands, I love the bass line.Matt Freeman is an incredible musician! (sorry for my bad english)
do not apologize. loving great music is not a thing to be shameful of.
If this guy keeps practicing he may have a future with this.
Nice one 🤣
Na...he is not as good as the bass player from OP IV...lol
@@bbranco01 XDDD
Wanted to like this, but it has 69 likes, can’t mess that up.
@@bobbythompson4268 I skrewed it! on purpose!
i had so much fun playing this song as a teen! really makes me want to pick up the bass again

Amazing bassist. Criminally underrated.
Epic
I'm GIDDY!!! God how can you not LOVE an ass-kicker of a heavy punk/reggae/ska bass!!!!! As a drummer, I'm a-droolin'!

You can tell he still has a blast playing
Some of the Best counter melodies in music,.
Ladies & Gentlemen on the Bass......Mr. Matt Freeman.
Greatest bassist Punks ever seen.
This bassline makes me happy.
The most underrated bass player, period! Such a vital part of the Op Ivy/Rancid sound.
Insane how good this man is.

How’s it going on the bass learning? You’ll totally be able to get there
@@TSE_WOODY Embarrassed to say I've learned nothing. but WHEN I DO, i'll be @'ing Matt! hopefully you'll see me then.
@@ecosynchronous ha, don’t worry. Life is an obstacle innit
When I first started playing bass and heard this track I thought 'yeah, I'm glad I chose bass'!
I love playing bass on this song!!!!!
Loved Matt's style since I was a kid. If you're here, there's no need to explain.
You rock! the passion of playing this fu*king song is indescriptible... Thanks a lot Matt!!
I lived in the ass end of the East Bay. These guys helped me get through high school. We had great bands in the bay back then.
I love your smile when the music hit! No need to fickin back down!!! To the end. I can only imagine the memories you guys have playing., This world is fukkd!!!!

Love watching Matt having so much fun!
Simply king 🤴

Who in their right mind gives this video a thumbs down? Not cool. Freeman is one of the absolute best ever.
Outstanding. Cheers from the 🇬🇧.
Makes me wanna cry, first song I learned start to finish
My bass-driven road song! 🎼😎
Matt Freeman is still BOSS!
Best bass line ever
Hey Matt, first chord and I got a 5 inches goose bumps. Love.
Best bass in any song ever 😍 always makes me want to pick up a bass but then I remember I’m a guitarist 🤣
You are the best, Matt! Thank you!
This made my punkrock heart warm.
This album!!!! 15 years old in 1996. So sweet!
I love the smile on your face while you’re playing. Guys like you are the reason I keep plugging in my bass and trying to learn more tunes.
If it wasn't for you and your work with Rancid I would not be a musician today. Thank you so much forever.
One of my favorite songs. It overwhelms my heart because of the emotion and memories attached to it.
48 now and feeling very nostalgic about a nostalgic song. 😂😂

This is the one and only Rancid bass line I can play. I love this song.
I was in high school when this album came out. I swear I wore out a few cassettes before I finally got it on CD.
The song and bassist that got me to drop the guitar and play bass. Thank you man!
Matt Freeman is the best punk rock bass player of all time, one of the greatest ever in the genre. This will never change.
Freeman and Ellefson have always been unsung hero bass players. Totally awesome.
one of the best punk rock albums of all time and my absolute favorite, as you can tell by my back tattoo
one of my favourite all time bass lines
hands down.
Best song ever to hear you on. Thank you sir. Always been sacred ground to me
