I thought that Tim Armstrong album blew ass.

I thought it was pretty damn good.
Not that I have listened to (or really searched out) any modern Rocksteady, but this is the only recent album that I've heard that does that style really well. (You know of any others?)

i was about to say i didn't think i'd ever heard a single song by Rancid until i saw:



hopefully this is one of their "not-so-great" songs?

Give it up, you don't like this band.

well i guess if that one is an example of their good stuff, then yeah. i honestly didn't think it was terrible when it was on the radio all the time way back when, but just kinda lumped it in with throw-away crap like the mighty mighty bosstones.

Yeah, you just don't like them.

I always hated that song. and I really liked that album.

Who would have thought Rancid would be this polarizing? One of a handful of Line in the Sand bands for the board.

i probably brought this up before
but seems appropriate now

i have an operation ivy tattoo

they're still rad
but
god damnit

I'm surprised at this too, as Rancid has a far more diverse audience than most bands under the punk umbrella. For example, at the Ozzfest/Warped meetup years ago when I saw them, Rancid was one of few bands that Ozzfesters crossed the line for.

Probably one of the few tattoos worth laser removal.

if i had a ton of cash i would consider that
but
there's PLENTY of worse tattoos

yeah, you can do a lot, lot worse.

it aint that bad. rock it proudly dude....as long as you still dig OI.

e-stone is OFF the Xmas list.






And I really think this is BeeOK's best ever thread on Obner.

the friend that went with me on that day got alk trio.

point semke

oh shit, lol

jesus dude

Also, when was Rancid ever played on the radio? You cool, big city kids have some choices, I guess?

Also, I can't even remember them being big enough to grace the cover of music mag like SPIN (although I vaguely recall a red cover and someone with a mohawk so I might be mistaken on that one), so I find it a little baffling that any mass media outlet could be explicitly suggesting to anyone that they Must Like Rancid.

they were on SNL in the nineties

every dirt bag that mows lawns down here is into these guys. they are/were really big on the cheesiest rock station here, playing alongside fellow heavy shitters like Green Day, Bosstones, No Doubt, Creed, etc.

a know a few of their fans. quality folk.

seems like a metal fan would be more careful about judging the quality of the music by the quality of the fans
