First Time Hearing FUGAZI! Bass Teacher REACTS to “Waiting Room”

---------------------------------------------------
➡️ You guys are completely steering my “better late than never” discovery of punk rock, and FUGAZI has been declared a must-listen artist judging by the comments. “Waiting Room” from their album “13 Songs” was unanimously requested, and I enjoyed getting a taste of what I THINK is more “traditional” punk - full of raw simplicity, attitude, and extremely expressive vocals. My favorite recurring theme in this genre is how the bass lines are perfectly front and center, and completely define the song. I discuss the catchy, picked-bass groove, the dissonance it creates rubbing against the guitar riff, and how the two in tandem offer a slightly unsettling feeling as the song slowly intensifies. I was intrigued by the vocals being the most intense song element, along with the PHAT half-time feel in the chorus 🥵🤘🏼

The cool thing about this song is that Ian MacKaye was already a punk legend from his time in Minor Threat. This song was written about his frustration with getting older and being left behind by the scene he was so much defined by. Literally "I don't want to wait for death; I have more to give if you will let me."

Fugazi is most often categorized as "post-hardcore" as Ian and other band members came from more traditional hardcore punk bands and really created something completely new. They were experimenting with time signatures and much more in innovative ways. I had the pleasure of catching a couple of their shows in the early 90's.

The guitar part sounds 'different', because a) the bass comes from a higher f# to a lower c# while the guitar comes from a lower f# to a higher c#. And b) the C# fifth chord gets inverted. Which adds a g# as kind of a fake root note. Thus giving us an overall Ab7sus-chord. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

Definitely check out their song, "Long Division" from their album, "Steady Diet of Nothing". The bass line is so badass. It's interesting how well the guitar and bass play off of each other. At times it's hard to figure out which is which. One of my favorite Fugazi bass lines.

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on Drive Like Jehu. Maybe their song, Bullet Train to Vegas? Basic music history: You have the hardcore punk scene during the 1980s. Then in the DC hardcore scene in 1985, you get two bands that go for a more melodic, traditional sound. They're inspired by the band Husker Du, who were the first hardcore band to be signed to a major label, but who also get the lionshare of the credit for merging the hardcore and college rock scenes. In doing so, they're often credited as (one of) the first alternative rock bands. The two DC bands were Embrace, and Rights of Spring. People have been arguing about this for 40 years now, on whether to call them post-hardcore or emo. But, at the start, "post hardcore" was the nice way of describing the music, while "emo" was basically an epithet. But this difference basically caused a split. On one side, you have Embrace and the Rights of Spring break up, and the frontmen from the two bands start Fugazi, calling it post-hardcore. On the other side, you get bands like Drive Like Jehu, who embrace the "emo" name. Warning: This is not the same as the emo that you heard in the late '00s. Like, not even close. Drive Like Jehu were the ones who introduced noise rock and math rock into emo(/post hardcore). They were also the first emo band signed to a major label, but only because they made it a condition of their *other* band, Rocket From the Crypt, getting signed to that label. They, along with Sunny Day Real Estate pretty much set the tone for emo for the next 10 years, until a very sanitized variant became popular.

A couple things: The verse has the guitar just going back and forth between a F#5 and a F#5/G. He plays straight muted 8th notes but when switching between chords plays almost like a 32nd note triplet. Also, Fugazi never used synths they were all about being as stripped down and DIY as possible. Thirdly, if you want another punk song to listen to check out Just Like Clockwork by Lower Class Brats, it’s probably my favorite punk bass line

Bad Brains and Husker Du are the bands from the 80's I always suggest to anyone that wants to listen from a musicians standpoint. Grey Matter, 76% Uncertain, and Dinosaur Jr first album are also on the must listen list. All bands that brought something to the table that changed the sound. Dinosaur Jr (especially Mountain Man) would be your most interesting bass adventure I would think...

Also, some great tunes by Fugazi: "Sieve Fisted Find", "Turnover", "Long Division", "Public Witness Program", and a personal favorite of mine, "Bed for the Scraping", and then "Break". Fugazi is a band where you can all kinds of great songs and great sounds.

Fugazi is one of my favorite bands and one of those that cannot be overlooked when talked about global influence. There's another band that cannot be dismissed for the same reason, and also for the importance of the bass parts. I'm talking about NoMeansNo. As their music progressed, they had become more complex sonically, but their debut album "Mama" from 1982 (recorded almost entirely on bass and drums), even though raw, indicated some solid foundation of what NMN had become known for. The whole album is great, but when it comes to bass lines, you gotta check tracks: Living Is Free, No Sex, Rich Guns, I'm All Wet. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a51jY7eGqs-pYIk.html
