If yall didn’t cover “Ain’t It Fun” I was gonna set my phone on fire and take a vow of silence for the rest of the year! ????
What a fun video! Until I got to the end and realized you didn't include Misery Business. Then, of course, all was ruined.
How did you not do misery business? ????????????
If this hadn’t had Fences it would be a sin.
I mean Jeremy is arguably the best bass player they had. I just think his lines hit the hardest. This is not to say anything against the other guys but Jeremy just punches hard
great video. But I'm digging the Skyrim pillow on the couch
I used to work with Jeremy’s dad and every release he would buy a bunch of us Paramore albums on release to support his kid. Such cool people!
that bulbassour so cool hahaha
Ain't it kind of weird that there are no bad Paramore songs out there?
LOVED that you did it in standard tuning! Add more of "Ain't it Fun" next time please ????
i waited SO LONG for escape route
maybe a video on Jared Followill (kings of Leon) arguably some of the best baselines in modern music
Careful from Brand new eyes it should be on the list
As it was starting I was like "I sure do hope they do fences" and then they literally started on it lol
I really can see that you guys struggled because you had to play those songs while sitting. It's almost impossible not to dance to those songs, and I'm someone who hates dancing! hahaha
Ain't it fun. I love this track

Hi. Have you ever did something from Cass Lewis like I can dream, Selling Jesus etc.? It would be awesome to hear your analysis and see correct
This is So Much Fun… Thanks Guys / SBL
Awesome! My favorite band on my favorite bass channel on YouTube❤
Scott, what model is that Mike Lull and what is the name of the colour as its gorgeous! ????
11:50 I feel like it should be noted, Jeremy does not use a five-string on Ain't It Fun. It's a four-string in C# standard! Of course, you can always use a five-string for it, but I myself have found parts of it genuinely easier to play in C# standard, and the open C# adds a really nice punch that a stopped C# on the B-string doesn't always have.
Loving these videos and Ian in particular, you're making bass playing so fun bro.
I listen to paramore just for that aint it fun bass line. Happy to see it appreciated
11:07 That shuffle feel is what makes "Ain't It Fun" stand out. What a song. Great lyrics, too. <3
I wasn't expecting to hear Tori on a Paramore vid lol. Been a Tori fan since I was in like 4th grade. The bassline on Cruel does sound like a lurking beast, just out of perception, waiting to get you. Which, given the lyrics of the song makes sense.
the words genius and Paramore are not allowed to be in the same sentence together.
my chemical romance next
Band: Killers
Paramore track: Future
Amazing! But Careful off Brand New Eyes is prob one of the best. You nailed the Last Hope feeling.
id love for you to have an open stream and we the students can choose a song for you to learn during the live stream with us. Cause i have a feeling youve gone over the songs you choose to share with us as learning on the spot, and you arent going in blind.
Weirdly enough, when I learned Ignorance's bass parts I used to hammer on and pull of on the first and second strings in bass because on the tab I looked up all those years ago said that in that part. But I'd never had thought that it was with a slide instead of doing the whole chord on B minor
Novice bass player here. Never heard of this band before. Just went and bought/downloaded a bunch of these for Rocksmith 2014! Thanks for the exposure to some good music that looks fun to play!
That's What You Get
The ending Bassline on Oh Star was ????????????
Heatmiser xx
genuine question, you guys never listened to L'Arc~en~Ciel? Cause honestly these Paramore bass lines you guys showing are nothing compared to Tetsu (bassist of L'Arc), in term of beauty, difficulty and complexity.
