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.
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!
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!!
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.
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 ...
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.
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 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!!!!
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
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'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 wonder if Matt even has a clue that he changed the way punk and bass go along forever. He appeared, shredded the hell out of it and now we punk rock bassists suddenly want to improve the most we can just to play a Rancid song.
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.
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...🤟😁
A Ska Legend Mr Freeman California Ska -Hall if Fame 80's Operation Ivy To Rancid 90's to Present. Till the end I'm Ska'd for life homie Just like Al Capone!
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!!!!
You are the god of bass players, I inspire to be like you. You and the band Rancid were one of the main reasons I'm learning to play bass. You are just, I dont know how to explain it. You are just amazing. You are THE fastest bass player that I know of.
i was 13 when i got this cd... 21 years ago....the best moments of my life sounded with this blasting from my bedroom... triying to play on top of Matts basslines..... pure joy.... thanks for all!
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.
Matt Freeman is my favorite Bassist of all time, be it Rock Punk Jazz....Matts basslines are just so creative and fun to play. Hes been Huge influence on my Bass playing. Keep on rockin that Bass, Matt!!🤘 .
And Out Come The Wolves is in my personal desert island album list mostly because of this song. I might be okay on a desert island with only this song (except for being homesick for the East Bay).
I was born when this album came out and i vividly remember my older sister moshing with me nd tossing me onto a couch across the room to this fucking song. I was like two years old when she started me on listening to you guys, i never stopped since then! I started to play bass when i was in highschool because of the solo in maxwell murders, i just couldnt get enough lol, anyways thank you for all of your inspiration.
That is so sweet you see how he smiles but soon as Tim starts he calms down and is like hells yeah that is so neat never even noticed that before knew they were tight but geez my brothers actually like one another. lol
We can see his face at the end "saying" I born to to do this! Amazing ! Thanks Matt! Once this shit is over, please, come to Brazil ( without Lollapalooza thing, please!)
Matt, you're my hero. I've been playing bass for 20+ years, and finally managed to play "Roots Radicals" about a year ago. I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do. There have been few "if you pick, you suck" bass snobs over the years that have had to admit they're wrong after I played them my copy of "Maxwell Murder." Anyway, I'll leave it there since I'm just gushing like a fanboy, something I rarely do as a cynical 42 year old. Thank you for doing what you do. Say it loud! I pick and I'm proud!
The reason I got good at bass was because of Matt and Out Come The Wolves. All my friends kicked me out of our band because They didn’t think I was good enough, so I rage learned the entire album and went to hang out, picked up my replacements bass and just started playing Maxwell Murder. Even I was surprised, lol. Thanks for being the inspo, Matt!
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.
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
This bass line will be around for hundreds of years. That's how badass it is.
Very tasty bass line :)
It's all time
my favorite Freeman bass line of all time!!
I'm sure no one gives a squirt of piss, but this song has a special place in my heart.

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.
My favorite bass line of all time. Thank you sir
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

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!!
The best bass player in the world....God father....cheers from Jakarta..indonesia

Cheers from San Diego California USA. I heard Indonesian Punk scene is doing great in 2021!
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 album never gets old, Rancid has always been a solid band . This song is a great homage to Operation Ivy too.
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!!
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.
This man does not like playing bass... HE LOVES IT!!
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/
Man this video is in my mind 20 years ago 😂
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.
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 song always makes me feel my youth is still alive. Best punk band ever.
For some reason I've always loved the line "this ain't no mecca, man, this place is fucked". Thanks for posting these!
This song takes me back to my childhood
😊
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 is a band that always play with their "HEART", but, Matt is the Rancid's "SOUL"!
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
😊😊😊😊😊😊
😊
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
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
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.
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 😢
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.

Ladies & Gentlemen on the Bass......Mr. Matt Freeman.
Greatest bassist Punks ever seen.
this is my favorite bassline ever written.
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.
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.
The most underrated bass player, period! Such a vital part of the Op Ivy/Rancid sound.
One of the finest bass lines to play and a great song also a must have album
Just wanted to say how much I admire your playing. You are the reason I picked up bass. Thank you.
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!!!!
was never really into punk rock but matty was the fucking shit. literally learned his bass lines for the sheer fun and excitement.
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
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'!
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!

It really helped me through some tough times 🥰
thank you very much‼️
I'm japanese❗️
you're legend of us❗️
i had so much fun playing this song as a teen! really makes me want to pick up the bass again
do it brother!
Best Rancid song ever! Thanks for sharing Matt!
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.

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 wonder if Matt even has a clue that he changed the way punk and bass go along forever. He appeared, shredded the hell out of it and now we punk rock bassists suddenly want to improve the most we can just to play a Rancid song.
Loved Matt's style since I was a kid. If you're here, there's no need to explain.
and out come the wolves is probably one of the definitive albums of the 90s. I was hooked the first time I heard Time Bomb come on the radio.
To the end! to the end! 🔥👏
Amazing bassist. Criminally underrated.
One of the greatest basslines ever and eventhough hes been playing it for 25+ years hes still smiling and mouthing the chorus....icon, legend

Who in their right mind gives this video a thumbs down? Not cool. Freeman is one of the absolute best ever.
Matt, thats the sound that got me into Rancid in the first place back in 95'. Still a huge fan!
Been my favourite bassist since 25 years ago! Matt I’d be too nervous to meet you but wow you are inspiring.

Greatest bass tone of all time.
God bless and save you, Matt! You've been my best friend for years on bass, brotherman. Ave Maria!
That is so sweet you see how he smiles but soon as Tim starts he calms down and is like hells yeah that is so neat never even noticed that before knew they were tight but geez my brothers actually like one another. lol
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.
This bassline makes me happy.
Best bass in any song ever 😍 always makes me want to pick up a bass but then I remember I’m a guitarist 🤣
Some of the Best counter melodies in music,.
We can see his face at the end "saying" I born to to do this! Amazing ! Thanks Matt! Once this shit is over, please, come to Brazil ( without Lollapalooza thing, please!)
If it wasn't for you and your work with Rancid I would not be a musician today. Thank you so much forever.
