First Time Hearing RISE AGAINST! Bass Teacher REACTS to “Life Less Frightening”
???? FULL-ALBUM Reactions, Lessons & More: https://www.patreon.com/LowEndUniversity
—————————————————
➡️ I always assumed Rise Against were a really heavy band, so I was intrigued to hear them after discovering bassist Joe Principe’s work with 88 Fingers Louie last year. I fell in love with their song “100 Proof”, and our Patreon community voted “Life Less Frightening” to be my first deep dive into the band. I discuss Joe’s chordal bass-playing style, the nuances of his tone, the music theory behind the chord progressions, why the bass-driven bridge is a brilliant songwriting device, and much more. This track was such a stellar introduction to the band, and had me hooked even before the chorus hit! ????

Loved your comment about the extra section at the end; rise against really really likes their bridges and it really elevates their songs. Refreshing
I was kind of expecting to have a new found opinion on Rise Against but no..still no my cup of tea
Just started watching your channel and I love it!
Anti-Flag The Press Corpse
It makes me so happy to see so many people recommending Revolutions Per Minute. That album saved my life.
Just saw them live again Nov. 2024 for their US tour and so good live. I was feet away Joe’s bass rocking tune after tune and the energy!! So good! ????????????
Their earlier records are better.
The Unraveling: raw, visceral, heavy
Revolutions Per Minute: melodic, high energy, textured, still pretty heavy
I love this band. One of the best ever in my opinion. Please do more of them. Good video, by the way. Thanks!
Check out the album Revolutions Per Minute. Like the Angel has a sick bass intro/outro.
They do play metal festivals but I got lucky and saw them in Lawrence KS when there was like 20 people at the bottleneck
Rise Against isn't afraid of doing hardcore punk. State Of The Union (this albums opening track) is an example of that. After this album they went in a more pop punk direction. But about half of this album and their first two albums lean in a more hardcore direction.
P.S. Yes Joe uses a pick exclusively
P.P.S they do play a half step down and the phaser bass breaks is one of Joe’s trademarks.
You can't do Rise Against as a bassist without doing Like the Angel. Trust me.
This was my first Rise Against album. I haven't listened to it in years. I'm going to have to reintroduce myself!
Sad this was their last decent album, these guys went a little too pop for me after this.
This album was way too polished for. Bass rips harder on revolutions and the unraveling.
Ive known Joe since 91 in chicago's punk scene. His work in 88 Fingers Louie and now Rise Against has always been top notch. Rancid, NoFx also great punk bass bands. Joe is also a great guy.
PLEASE CHECK A WILHELM SCREAM's bassiest, Brian Robinson!!!! Street punk, hardcore whatever but better than any punk stuff you tried, trust me!!! Start with The Horse
Now you have to listen to Like The Angel!
I am SHOCKED that "Like The Angel" wasn't the top requested song by these guys. I could argue it's one of the best bass intros in all of punkrock
Favorite album by them by FAR!
I love this band ! Especially their early work, I feel it came at a perfect time in my life. This album and Revolution per Minute are their standout.
You have to do Give It All sometime. Its chorus is fun to play.
Y lo dijo nomás! Le gusta La Menor!
Fun one for sure, joe is the man, just saw them last night in philly????
Not sure if you have your helix patches available but I’m sure a lot of us would love to see what you’re using!
Rise Against has had such a huge impact on music in my life. I got my first drumset from the original drummer Tony. It's been over 20 years now since I first saw them as Transistor Revolt back at a small punk venue in Chicago. Joe has always been one of my favorite bass players
Revolutions per minute is still one of my all time favorite albums
Is there any way to get my hands on your Line6 Helix preset? That sounds fantastic!
This band is the reason I got into bass playing. Hell, I own the same Fender 50s classic reissue MIM bass, same SD QP3 pickups and use the same pick that he does. His tone on the early work is amazing. I don't resonate with their newer music at all but everything up to and including The Sufferer and the witness is back to back fantastic filled with a bass players wettest of dreams.
Personal favorite of mine is Dancing for Rain of of Sire song of the counter culture, that verse is pure bass.
I want to say part of this band came from 88 fingers Louie who I really liked. They did a really job of ruining my July 4th in Seattle during a Deftones show in 2017
Wish RA still sounded like this. Hard to find a better run of albums then RPM, Siren and Sufferer.
Oh please do Hold it over me by stop.drop.rewind the bass intro is so wild
Rise Against a masters at writing a bridge.
Favorite Rise Against song. Surprised to see it here.
RPM is still their best album hands down but this is tied for second.
Also, recording each song one measure at a time just sounds like a nice way to burn up as much major label money as possible. Lol
More rise against
the story about the producer…they went back to Bill Stevenson (Descendents) right after SSOTCC
Skrzydlate Ręce by Enej is a song you'll have a lot of fun with
Detroit by rancid would be crazy
Always loved Rise Against because they love doing that iconic punk "guitar drops out leaving only the bass/drums" for a lot of their verses
Awesome
You should do Detroit by Rancid
Staring at the Sun by TV On The Radio has a very cool and recognizable bass line
I feel like the album Revolutions Per Minute is heavy on bass as well as Siren Song … blood red, whit & blue are u kidding me the bass on that song ????
Rise Against has been my favourite band since day one. I’m from Ecuador and we never used to get bands coming to play so it took me almost 10 years to see them for the first. So when I did I GAVE IT ALL I almost died but I did not stopped moshing ????????????
You should get to The Egs soon! I would go for Aja – great bass and a banger
I love your channel what do you think about frenzal rhomb " punch in the face"
That hundred proof thing you played a couple times sounds exactly like "epiphany" by bad religion!!! Please please!
AFI -Death Of Seasons should be the next one!!!!
I played this CD OUT when I was 15!!
