Old punk rocker still got it... and hey a bass solo that ain't bad!

Aside from that tasty bass solo, what really struck me here is: This is the guy that basically invented this genre (hardcore with pop tunes? I dunno what to call it but three decades of alt-rock / emo / whatever owes Mr. Mould a huge debt)
... and he's nearing 60
... and he sounds better than ever. Impressive.

He does sound good - although this style is not something I'm drawn to. He definitely can rock it!! And I agree, nice bass solo.

Sounds great.

One of the bands I play in steals heavily from Bob Mould. Love his music.

Cool! Good energy. And nice "lead bass".

Sounds good! Cool Orange rig the bass players has too!

Nice tune. I'm just not a fan of music played at that speed - same reason why speed metal bands never did it for me either. Music I cannot move my butt to in time tends to leave me cold. If that track was presesented to me in a rehearsal room, first thing I'd do is slow it down!

But other people find exactly that appealing, so what do I know, boring old fart I am. I could have never played in a high speed punk or speed metal band, even as a young man. Anything faster than Highway Star is too fast for me.

Well said.

Uwe, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship....

I will refrain from posting Mr. Mould's younger, faster, louder stuff

Some of it goes beyond *my* listenability threshold. He did debut on Husker Du's "Land Speed Record" after all...
