STRUNG OUT?! Bass Teacher REACTS to “Firecracker” & Jim Cherry
Музыка
FULL-ALBUM Reactions, Lessons & More 👉 / lowenduniversity
---------------------------------------------------
➡️ Today, I'm hearing Strung Out for the first time! Tons of you urged me to take a listen to late bassist Jim Cherry's playing, and his work on "Firecracker" showcased a really effective take on using fast bass chords within a skate-punk style. Setting up the song with those lower-register intervals really supported the track with a beefy intensity and energy. I love the note ranges he chose: JUST low enough to thicken up the mix, but JUST high enough to hear a clear separation in his implied melodies. I discuss some of the music theory behind the song's progression, the subtle root movements in the bass line, and how this very dense arrangement kicks off 1996's "Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues" with an epic bang. At the end, I also gave a little impromptu lecture on what I've learned reviewing punk songs so far... 😉🙏🏼🍒

You should absolutely check out No Use For A Name when you get a chance. Another fantastic Fat Wreck / skate punk band with that lead style bass you talk about. Matt Riddle is an epic and under appreciated player. Im a huge fan of their catalog (mostly 1999 and onwards) but here are some songs I’d recommend checking out where the bass shines a bit: Justified Black Eye, Angela, Coming Too Close, Part Two, Nailed Shut, Check for a Pulse, Under the Garden, The Dregs of Sobriety, Exit, Chasing Rainbows

About time to have Strung Out featured here! Ryan Greene was the producer of this record, and pretty much the sound that you praise in the video, has been the benchmark for many skate punk bands, the so called "fat wreck sound". Additional note on the bass intro; there are two bass tracks, one for the higher notes/chords, and the second track is root (lower) notes, hence, that feeling of perfect frequency balance
Strung Out, Pulley and the incredible Zero Down...With a Lifetime to Pay. RIP. He also mentions production a number of times - Ryan Greene produced/engineered a lot of the great sounding west coast punk albums of the era
Blinded by Bigwig is one that I don't think a lot of people will ask for. It's not as big a band as some of the other that were covered here, but it has a pretty good bassline! This channel has made me want to pick the bass back up. Great stuff!

Fat Mike was weary about signing them, but Jim kept bugging him…so FM said if he redid the floors of his home in The Bay he would release “another day in paradise”. So Jim and Jason went to FM’s place and put in the work. They’ve been on Fat Wreck ever since.

Rats in the walls by Strung out, there is a playtrough by Chris Aiken, their bass player, on youtube. Super solid right and.
8:15 Jim is mostly a finger player. That does sound pick but I never saw him use a pick live. In fact, I saw Blink-182 open for Strung Out. Mark broke a string and Jim handed him his bass. Mark is a pick player and completely scratched up this cow sticker Jim had on his bass. Jim was so upset that he spent the entire Strung Out set ragging on Mark and Blink. He couldn’t let it go.

Rest in power Jim Cherry! Great player and the driving force behind early Strung Out. As others have said, would be cool to do a comparison with their current bassist Chris Aiken. His playing is quite different and the band’s sound changed fairly significantly when he joined.
You have to watch some live footage of Jim playing. I remember watching shows at the Troubadour and he was a big guy, so his bouncing around on such a tiny stage was fun to watch. The energy of the band was always amazing live!

Don't miss out on Good Riddance! Their album "A Comprehensive Guide to Moderne Rebellion" is another Fat Wreck clascic and was released in the same year as the mentioned Strung Out record. I highly recommend the opener "Weight of the world" or "A credit to his gender'. Both songs have great driving bass lines and the whole record is amazing. I purchased the record together with " Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues" and listened to both of them on repeat because they are so great.
This was such a spiritual experience first hearing this album and this beautiful intro all those many, many years ago. I almost felt transported into the Californian desert.
Strung Out is very metal influenced. Check out Twisted By Design, lots of metal in that album. Also, day whatever of asking you to check out Matt Freeman's Bass Bunker. You'll love it.

Loving the Reaction Vids to Punk, Mark! So many great bands to even mention here. Notable stand out band for me is Pulley. Their Bass player Tyler is a hidden gem IMO. The song No "I" in Team has an awesome bassline all throughout. Keep up the good work
Yup, you nailed it, Strung Out is pretty firmly seated in the skate punk sub genre…heck I’d even go so far to say they started that sound!😄 Later they do get a bit heavier, more metalcore and technical, as they just continued to get better at playing and writing. They’re a super tight and technical band today, but they never really lose those signature Strung Out melody hooks! 🤟 My favourite song is probably Swan Dive, it’s a beautiful song, a real uplifting fist pumper that just inspires you immediately! City Lights is pretty damn good too, one of my favourite opening guitar riffs for sure, and the fuckin drums on that track, like damn! 😄Definitely catch them live if you ever get a chance! It’s an experience! 🔥
This album is an all timer for me and was my soundtrack for end of high school/beginning of college. They do indeed have a huge metal influence, which caused some issue initially to getting signed with Fat Wreck and is something that they lean into even more heavily as their career progresses. Jason, the singer, at one point really bristled against being labeled as having the Fat Wreck sound, too. If you do indeed do a full album reaction, I would probably have to sign up for my first Patreon. 😅
Jimmy was amazing. Really good bassist, brilliant song writer. He would use a pick for some songs, fingers for others (just depended on what the song needed). He also played guitar in Pulley, then played bass and lead vocals in Zero Down (great singer too...he could do it all!)

Strung Out was a punk band that metal heads could get into. Jake Kiley's guitar playing style and tone were very accessible to headbangers!
Jordan Burns drums are also genre defining. Strung out were dope then and their new stuff is also incredible.
Friend once said to me, “the two most outward expressive forms of music is jazz and blues and punk and hardcore, no contest.” I’m of course bias, but I still think that’s pretty true.

Fun fact about Jim, he also was a Metal head in high school. But he hung around with a bunch of punks. He was also probably a better guitar player than he was a bassist. He was a good friend of mine. A few days before he passed I had tried to get him go see this band Calavera with Me. He declined saying he was going to hang out with his wife and watch a movie. He invited me to a 4th of July party at his parents house, but for some reason or another I didn’t make it. He passed 3 days later. I wish I would have gone. Miss you Jim. RIP brother.
I was into metal through my sophomore year then started to listen to punk with my skateboard buddies. The biggest difference to me was just what you said. Metal was centered on the guitars. Punk was centered on equal parts. Melodic but fast. Love what you do a ton. Not just the punk but all of it.
Chris Aiken, his replacement (when he left for Pulley), is also a great player. Squier even gave him a Signature bass. Check "Velvet Alley".

Punk bands from this era absolutely loved first inversion chords. I think it's because it's really easy to go from a power chord to a first inversion chord (without the 5th) and it obviously sounds really good. You'll see the I to V (first inversion) to vi progression in quite a few songs from the time.
This one was awesome thanks! Your whole channel rules and really helps with the understanding of tempo and my ear for the notes. As a punk bassist, “Detroit” by Rancid is one of my favorites to play. I think you’d get a kick out of that one.

Considering all punks are self taught and have lousy technics n skills... try using a 0.5 pick so you can dig into the strings as hard and fast as possible (without having to worry they'll brake and ruin you) (cause that how we punks do it) (hahaha). (Thinks that key to how to approach getting the rhythm and sound of a (sk8)punker)

Such a classic intro and bass line. Jim Cherry also wrote a beautiful bass riff in the bridge of the song Paper Walls, on the album Twisted By Design. Most of their songs are in D standard and that was the remixed version btw which I feel sanitises the spirit of the original record.
