rancid's matt freeman's bass technic comes from franc'o, the original bassist for mdc, a san francisco-by-way-of-austin hardcore band from the early 80's. just listen to the opening of john wayne was a nazi and you'll see what i'm talking about. i too thought he was the raddest bassist in punk until i heard mdc and learned that matt freeman was mdc's bassists in the late 80's, before joining op ivy
so i call bullshit on the argument that matt freeman is the best bassist in punk. klaus floride, steve soto and chuck dukowski (to name just three) can piss circles around any of rancid's basslines
