How to play Post-Punk bass in 1 minute 

The Cure's "Disintegration" comes to mind.

Lol, the only reason I consider letting the band use an electronic bass part and let me leave the stage instead

Nice profile picture

yes

Works for me

​@@eboethrasher100% Peter Hook very often uses an open string for that drone while switching notes. This is the Cure, whatever his name was xd

sounds nothing like a peter hook riff.

he really didn't

Saved me the embarrassment. Thanks.

May be an obvious choice, but he's really good to be fair

He's on a completely different level, to be fair.

@@jennyl309 He's one of the first bassists that show me that a bass can do more than root notes.

Only boring because its true - especially with a last name like 'Hook'

gotta be

i was about to say that

Except he didn’t really use tones like this

i don’t think he was very post-punk…!

@@imsorryforarguingbut4555 no The Smiths were "jangle pop"

MF DOOM

it counts as post punk revival and i was looking for this comment... his bass playing trumps everyone elses. obstacle 1, obstacle 2, stella, pda? absolute genius.

@@blunderless the new has interpol's best bass line imo. it's just so clean and groovy, throughout the song it's just doin its own thing but it is so amazing

@@ThePenguinG yes, the new's bass is insane. that part after the bass guitar interlude between paul and carlos is insanely groovy, so is the whole breakdown really. but i think the groove and development of obstacle 2's bass is underrated. i also love obstacle 1 for how simple and uncanny it is. special mention to pda. love the part where the bass starts to change course from the guitars, right before "you're so cute when you're frustrated". the syncopation between the bass and everything else is so interconnected yet so unpredictable... carlos is my favorite bass player *was

@@blunderless slow hands' bass line is really good at the instrumental too

@@ThePenguinG honestly, the bass breakdown is just a simplified version of the bassline he plays throughout the song, just higher on the frets. you should listen to a bass cover, as the bass in slow hands too quiet in the mix to hear. perhaps the best interpol bassline...

and the Bad Seeds. He is just generally underrated as musician, great solo stuff

Asylum Party were INCREDIBLE

​@@LANGI902I totally agree with you.

@@wagnerribeiro4061I totally agree with you agreeing

Add David J of Bauhaus and the holy trinity becomes Mt Rushmore

​@@tmage23Hahaha - great! I can see clearly that place in my mind. It would be a perfect spot for a big festival.

Jah Wobble is fantastic, but also a completely different style of bass. To get the Jah Wobble sound, boost lows as loud as possible and play Dub Reggae, but darker and moody.

That's a hell of a trio!

Gallup obviously!

Derek Forbes also, Simple Minds.

His baselines made early Simple Minds what they were.... Simple Minds today is a sorry tribute act, with Kerr and Burchill out front. Sorely lacking the chops of the likes of Forbes + MacNeill + Gaynor.

If this excellent video were like three minutes, it would have proceeded into Derek Forbes lines.

Fucking a, love his dub style bass lines

Tasty

ive not once regretted picking up my instrument and playing a little more

gl remember to do what you enjoy not whats "best" for learning bc commitment beats everything

If you like Interpol, you should check out IST IST. Brilliant live band. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ih85-eFVZi8.html

Yes. Les Pattinson. King of the upstroke groove!

Galuppin on his behs

Why not? It doesn't get more postpunk than Siouxsie and the Banshees does it?

yes

That's not controversial. Sting is a great musician.
