My first PSYCHOBILLY experience with THE LIVING END! Bass Teacher REACTS to “Prisoner of Society”

FULL-ALBUM Reactions, Lessons & More 👉 / lowenduniversity
---------------------------------------------------
➡️ Psychobilly, eh? This is new ground for me! You all have requested The Living End's breakout-track "Prisoner of Society", and I truly ate it up. I enjoyed diving deep into the nimble energy of this track and was fairly surprised at the band's choice to employ an authentic upright bass sound, adding a truly charming feel to the song. It was almost like hearing a rockabilly band COVER a punk song - in the best way possible! I discuss bassist Scott Owen's technique, his bass line development, how he slowly built the track using varied grooves and phrasings, a music-theory analysis of the songwriting, a discussion on his bass tone, and much more! 😍🤘🏼🇦🇺

    As an Australian who loves your music and KZread content, I am so glad to hear you like this song! As with other Aussies over 30, The Living End were heard everywhere in public and on every radio station. This song has represented every sport that was televised in Australia, and was all over every radio station in the 90's. I highly recommend reacting to and analysing "All Torn Down" by them at some point, I think from this video you will like it too. As always, thanks for another great video! (And for the part you played in Scale The Summit, which was my gateway into modern instrumental prog).

    debateable. they certainly are the most significant precursor to psychobilly, but they're kind of a retro garage punk band. The meteors are the first true psychbilly band, and actually opened for the cramps in like 79 or 80. Also, and I love the cramps, the early stuff literally has no bass guitar so isn't helpful to this channel, lol. edit- also as far as the name psychobilly, yes the cramps used it, but they describe the use as being like a "carnival barker" term that they put on posters , they didn't intend for it to be a genre. Cash did use the term in his song, but I'm not sure if the cramps borrowed it from him, or came up with it on their own.

    I played this technique on my upright bass when I was in high school orchestra. You basically do really aggressive pops, similarly to how you would on an electric. Then follow it with muted slaps, to give it a galloping type of feel. The clicking in-between the bass notes is him slapping the finger board. I would use my middle and ring finger to pop the strings and held my hand at an angle for ergonomic and power reasons. The nimble walking sessions have such a bouncy and punchy feel because at that speed you're popping over and over, but when you return your hand to the fingerboard to grab the string, you slap it as well. So you end up bouncing up and down and it's A LOT of fun to play. Awesome stuff, love the channel. It was great watching you check this out!

Yes, it’s two songs, but “E-Boogie” is really quick but amazing, and “Second Solution” shows their bassist playing while standing on the double-bass. The sound quality is pretty good for a live concert recording, and you’ll be able to see and hear the bass playing really well!

    Psychobilly bands are some of THE BEST live performers in how much energy they put in with their level of skill. I would say they are more on the "punkabilly" end of the genre. They definitely do all that fun stuff live and more! I've seen the lead singer/guitarist of The Chop Tops, jump on the bar at a club and walk the bar, kicking over drinks during a solo, while the bassist stands on his bass for an entire song and swing it around while the drummer stood up to play their most energetic songs. It was a riot, in the best way! They're a bit more on the rockabilly end of the "Psychobilly" scale. They are some of my most memorable shows I've ever attended. My roommate's a psychobilly/punk drummer as well! His last band is called Los Pistoleros here in Reno. Always super fun shows to go to!

    Just caught this video, don't know if anybody pointed it out, but the technique is called a triple slap. It's a percussive slam if the heel of the hand against the neck and strings, dragged into a slap with the palm and then a pluck if the actual note. There is also a double slap technique, but I believe he is using mostly triples.

    This was fun. Hadn't listened to The Living End for a while, so it was nice to be reminded about how good they are. Saw them live many years ago and they are as wild on stage as they are in the video, but damn fun the whole time. Interesting analysis as always, your input is always really cool and gives some new entrypoints into both the band and the song. Btw, Matt Freeman has a side project called "Devil's Brigade" where he plays with an upright bass and sings. Saw them live a couple of years ago and it was quite an experience as well.

  • @gringogreen4719

    So, I got to hang out with these guys back in 2003 and I learned a few things from the guys. For the bass Scott has both an Electric pickup (a P bass at the end of the fingerboard) and also a traditional upright pickup on the bass. It has a trap door so he can run the pickups through a wireless inside the bass itself and he had a switch box to switch between them. He did this many times throughout each song. If memory serves he was playing a Ampeg SVT full stack at that time. Chris the guitar player stuffed his Gretsch White Falcons with industrial grade cotton to control feedback through his multiple 100 watt amps. Everyone from the band was really cool and we talked about bands we like as well as gear. As far as Psychobilly goes, even the band don't claim to be Psychobilly. I would really call them more Alternative or Punkabilly. Everyone I knew at the time who was into Psychobilly loved The Living End but they were kinda like Social Distortion that way, not really Psychobilly but Psychos loved them. Psychobilly is basically a triangle with each point being either Punk, Rockabilly, or Metal (especially the Japanese and Brazilian bands). People who are into Psychobilly like it love Rockabilly but usually a Rockabilly person isn't too into Psychobilly. Another funny thing about Psychobilly is pretty much all the bands who started Psychobilly played Electric Basses at the start (First wave of Psychobilly). Pretty soon though those players picked up Upright basses and it became more common towards the end of the 1980s going into the 1990s. Most bands came from the UK or Europe back then and then it mainly took off in Southern California around the Second Wave. The main Psychobilly band I know from Australia would be Zombie Ghost Train (although The Living End are more famous). You also had the Vaudevillians but they definitely had more of a Jazz bent to them (Adrian Whyte has his own KZread channel too, he played guitar). There were a few other smaller bands from the early 2000s and it's all worth checking out. The main band to really break Psychobilly is Tiger Army on their second album "Power of Moonlight" as they toured both nationally and internationally for that album. In the early 2000s MySpace was a huge way to get to find Psychobilly bands all over the world. Back then you had to buy CDs and records to hear stuff because Napster took too long. It was definitely a great time to dive into the subgenre.😎👍✨ Edit: on slapping an upright usually the player is slapping a dead note (the clock) while immediately playing the open note. You have to have lots of endurance to play Psychobilly and this type of music. I've seen bass player glue back their blisters on their fingers with super glue when they fall off. It's not easy. And yes they do play like this live. That said it was 20+ years ago.

    One of my favorite bands of all time. This album, Roll On, Modern Artillery, and White Noise are amazing records and you should make sure to check them out. Chris Cheney is a fantastic guitar player, and you're just scratching the surface of what they can do with this song. Second Solution is another good one from this record. Roll On has some rippers. Huge rock record.

    They opened for Green Day on their first visit to Australia it was also the first time Living End played in Sydney at the time I’d never heard of them but the show they put on was insane.

    Psychobilly became something really different thru the decades, from 1980 until nowadays. For the purists like me is something related to the UK of the first 80s and something more european on the end of that decade. Psychobilly started in London with the Meteors, the undisputed godfathers of the whole movement, and few years later some artists who played what is called nowadays "neorockabilly" (like Stray Cats, Sharks, Polecats, Restless, Ricochets) turned the sound into something heavier and faster. In USA on the same years bands like Cramps and Gun Club were doing something similar, but rarely called Psychobilly in the way that was officialy known in UK as that cetain subculture or movement, as I wrote before. What happened on the late 90s and 2000s as the same value of the melodic hardcore punk for the so called old school punk rock, hardcore or Oi. I mean, the fact of having a double bass doesn't make a band Psychobilly, it could be a lot of different music styles. I can suggest you from the first UK and Europe wave bands like: the Meteors, Guana Batz, Frenzy, Long Tall Texans, Demented Are Go, Batmobile, Torment or King Kurt. The second wave saw the birth of bands like Krewmen, Klingonz, Lost Souls, Scum Rats, Mad Sin and Nekromantix. The Quakes from Buffalo are considered the first USA Psychobilly band, followed by Reverend Horton Heat and some minor bands like Cosmic Voodoo, Bamboula or Lonesome Kings, these last all born in the 90s.

For similar sounds, perhaps a bit more in the rockabilly lane, I suggest checking out Reverend Horton Heat.

    I got to see these guys several times between 98 and 04. They never headlined but let me tell ya as an opener they always stole the show! 30-45 minutes of pure rock n roll agrresion. To answer your question about the bass player doing tricks is yes. He would spin it, stand on it and do tons of triplet and quad slaps all while it was a walking bass line! The guitarist, Chris I believe his name is was always fun because not only could he recreate the album solos but he would take em to the next level adding tricky parts in here and there. He has always been known in the guitar world as a phenomenal player. Great video, and I wouldn’t mind seeing more rockabilly and it’s sub genre. If you ever get a chance check out Didi Deluxe and the Dirty Devils. They are a massively talented band, or should I say were because they are no longer together!

    7:40 Psycho/Rockabilly bass player here, I think youre looking for what upright bass players call slap (different from bass guitar slap). We pull the string and let it hit the fingerboard (basically what bass guitar players call popping) and in between we hit the strings into the fingerboard with different parts of the hand for different rythms. Theres a lot of gallop rythm in this song for example.

    I remember seeing these guys open for The Offspring back in the late 90s and really liking them. Unfortunately after this first album they dropped most of their punk sound and got less interesting, but Chris Cheney was a hell of a guitarist. For psychobilly there's a lot of options, but the bands that I tend to come back to are the Koffin Kats and The Creepshow, both of whom tend to have more punk riffs. You should also react to a little band called Tetrafusion. Their bass player is pretty impressive. 😏 But seriously, after finding this channel recently it inspired me to go back and listen to Horizons and Dreaming Of Sleep for the first time in a few years, and man, they really hold up well. They're such incredible albums. I would love to hear something new from you guys.
