Re: Hey, remember Rancid?
The choppy guitar intro of 11th Hour would have been the perfect opener and more representative of the album. MM is basically tuneless and a vehicle for a bass solo.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Re: Hey, remember Rancid?
Ah yes, punk rock. The most tuneful genre.

Now I wanna hear it live to see if even HE can do it!Kory wrote: ↑13 Nov 2020, 2:36pmUsually they start off ok, but they lose their timing toward the 3rd quarter of it.Spiff wrote: ↑13 Nov 2020, 2:19pmYeah, it's tough.Kory wrote: ↑13 Nov 2020, 1:40pmYeah for sure. It's not as technically demanding as a Victor Wooten solo, but especially for punk rock it's pretty tricky because there's some string switching stuff, and staying solid at that speed is hard when you're jumping strings like that. As evidenced by the fact that nobody on YouTube can play it perfectly. I suppose it would be more impressive if Matt Freeman played fingerstyle rather than with a pick, but it's still not an easy thing to play.
Go to YouTube and search for "maxwell murder bass cover" and you'll see.

Well my favourite punk songs all had good tunes.

Re: Hey, remember Rancid?
Still not worthy of opening the album. Maybe track 13 at a push.

Re: Hey, remember Rancid?
I very much enjoy the Life Won't Wait ballads at least from a musical standpoint. However, it's hard to reconcile with the fact that it's a 30 year old singing about a 16 year old girl.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
