I was in a band that opened for Rancid on their first three tours, and another thing should be mentioned: their incredible generosity. From the beginning, they knew they had cred and leverage that most bands don't have, and they constantly used it to help other bands. For example, they got Avail signed to Lookout. They were always stand up guys.

I still remember the first time that I heard Ruby Soho. I was living in Tennessee for eighth grade. I got home after school and turned on MTV as I was getting ready to do homework. The video came on and I was blown away. I don't know why it hit me like it did. I had already heard punk songs. Dookie and Smash had already blown up and were everywhere. But, this was the first song that was mine. None of my friends knew the song. I never heard anybody talk about it. I never heard the song on the radio. I had no money, too young for a license, and pre-internet so, there wasn't really anything that I could do about getting the album. I only saw the video a couple of times, but the song just stuck with me. Before tenth grade I moved across the country and was walking through the electronics section of a Fred Meyer's with a friend when I saw a CD of ...And Out Come the Wolves. I knew the title, but I couldn't remember why. When I turned it over and read the track listing I got to Ruby Soho and I started bouncing up and down. I got that CD and listened to it over and over and over. I think that just about everything that Rancid has done is great. But, that album is something special.

A lot of the 80's punks kind of adopted this mentality of punk rock being a private club that rejected any and all mainstream musical sensibilities (forgetting all the 70s era bands wanted to be rich rock stars signed to major labels). When the 90's hit and skate and pop punk blew up it was like the doors to their secret society were kicked open by a bunch of kids that didn't know anything or care about 80's hardcore, listening to a style of punk that embraced the underlying pop influence that had (in reality) been a part punk's DNA from the very beginning but that they had rejected when punk spun off into hardcore and New Wave/Post-Punk. I'm not saying that it was right, just that it was a natural reaction given what punk became in the post-77 era when the older artsy fartsy types totally abandoned the scene. I was one of the kids that came around in the mid 90s thanks to Dookie and Out Come The Wolves and I definitely remember the general derisiveness of this new generation of punk rockers, but that was pretty much over by the end of the decade as the 80s holdovers just kind of grew out of "the scene".

Tim Armstrong is such an underrated cornerstone of punk culture in the US. I've long feared he won't get his due while he's still alive. I interacted with him a few times at shows and he really seemed like a super kind person.

I love seeing Rancid get so much love. My favorite band since the 90s and they keep giving us new albums!

The year “And out come the wolves” came out, we listened to that album from front to back every single day for what had to be the entire year. Such a perfect album it almost fkn brings a tear to my eye !!

There’s something culturally deep and worldly about Rancid’s music. They tie in so many genres in an organic way. Just fantastic to see them aging out as they are. Also, Tim is involved in songwriting for pop-singers like Skye Sweetnam and won a Grammy for producing a Pink album.

Rancid, their contribution and their sound is timeless.

Now that I am decades older and have to pay bills and taxes and whatnot, I think it’s ridiculous that people hate a band because the “sell out.” There is no pension plan for these acts, and their overhead is much greater.

Tim and Lars are absolutely huge in Punk, but they don't get enough credit for everything they've done for the scene. Operation Ivy was amazing, Rancid is great, they've both done so many great projects. It's amazing how underrated these dudes are.

I love Rancid one of the greatest bands in general. They were the one band that brought everyone in punk together everyone liked them

After a show on Warped Tour, they invited anyone to talk to them. "You can start a band and make your own label. I swear I'll show you how. You can do it. Come talk to me after the show." He was dead serious and it was real shit.

I think the coolest thing about rancid is that they make incredibly diverse music. But at the core they always make punk rock. The songwriting is just awesome. The best thing is when beautiful melodies meet punk. My absolute favorite in terms of punk rock.

Branden is to drums what Matt is to bass. Two stellar musicians in a band with two amazing songwriters.

Absolutely loved this video. Both Op Ivy and Minor Threat started it all for me back in the early 90s. Rancid was an absolute staple for us growing up especially since we played in punk bands in our small town.

Been my favorite band for 30 years and will probably be for the next 30, as well. The new album is GREATNESS!

I was born in 91. my dad was a 16 year old skateboard punk/metal head. by the time I was in middle school and my friends were getting into green day and good Charlotte and while I liked it I had just been exposed to heavier wilder stuff that was just more my style. then some older kids gave me a rancid patch for my beat up leather jacket and I had finally found a band to help bridge the gap between my own crazy taste and the opinions and taste of my peers. I have always loved rancid to staying true to diy punk but reaching out beyond it as well.

My uncle was the guitar player for the band Samiam he has a few interesting stories of touring with rancid. they were stand-up dudes who loved to party.

I got my hands on "and out come the wolves" back in the 90s. I remember borrowing it from Rachel Joy on the school bus in the suburbs of Baltimore. I listened to that album every. single. morning. I'm 40 these days & don't listen to Rancid nearly enough anymore. I will say that Rancid definitely opened up my taste in music & helped shape me as an individual.

To me, Tim is the punk equivalent of Bob Dylan in the 60s-70s. He writes tons of songs, and they are never bad, What he did for a year with his Tim Timebomb project to release a new song/video every day for a year proves that (many were covers, but it still proves how productive he is).

That Bay Area scene formed my world view as well. This chic let me borrow Kerplunk in ‘93 and I was hooked. I immediately got sucked into Green Day, Rancid, Op Ivy. Moved it down to LA and got sucked into NOFX, Bad Religion, Offspring No Doubt. It was an easy transition as I was a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers and was into Fishbone after their shout out on MM in 1990

Rancid was my first concert in 2005 as a 14yo. It was amazing. Much appreciation for those guys. No concert has ever had the same appeal

I have a theory that every time Tim Armstrong releases a new album he lengthens his guitar strap by 2 inches.

Great video, really appreciate this one. Your take mirrors my experience getting into punk back in '97.

Great video ! I’m a geezer who grew up in the first wave of British and American punk rock. I learned many lessons on life from the words of Joe Strummer and others. When I first heard Rancid I knew that they had heard those same words and learned from them. They have always had my respect and have always delivered amazing live shows. Their music brings generations together.

Ahh!! Thank you for shouting out Op Ivy! My only punk friend and I in high school would blast Op Ivy at all our swim meets since we also were jocks. Weirdos, but floated freely amongst the tribes, so to speak. Fugazi was also a staple. We used to get stares but did not care haha ❤ okay, back to watch the rest of this video. Props to Rancid being featured. 🎉

Their 2000 self titles album is actually my favorite album of theirs by far. The flow of it, the politics, and the intensity are incredible

Tim Armstrong is also an accomplished Pop songwriter, most notably the song Trouble by Pink. In fact, the song was demoed on Rancid's tour bus and the vocal take was so strong it wound up on the official release.

I really fell down the punk rabbit hole back in 1999 when I heard Blink182 on the intro of an MTV snowboarding game for PS1 when I was in middle school. I had heard Green Day and the Offspring all the time on the radio by then, but there was something about Blink that really caught me. Then it was all downhill from there. Now I'm 36 still rocking out while my 2 high school kids say I'm super lame. Honestly, I really don't get all the gatekeeping around things. Who cares where anyone heard of anything. I learned about The Buzzcocks from an episode of the Simpsons where they told the story of Sid and Nancy with Nelson and Lisa and used candy instead of drugs. That was super late for me to learn about them, but now The Buzzcocks is one of my favorite bands. Let people like stuff the way you like stuff and we'll all be happier for it.

I live in Tunisia (North Africa) Rancid and MTV made us discover the whole US punk scene ! thank you guys

it´s 11PM here in Brazil and you make me start to listen And Out Come the Wolves. thanks!

Rancid and Let's Go were definitely my gateway drug. I got into them, then bands like Bad Religion and the Offspring followed. I remember the punk 'gatekeepers' always approved of Rancid, so having them in your collection was a way to stay 'legit' in their eyes, back when I was young and foolish enough to care about such things. ...And Out Come The Wolves was basically the soundtrack for an entire year of my early teenage life and is still in my top 10 favorite punk albums to this day.

What you said about Rancid being able to provide a gateway into punk is pretty spot on. There is nothing - NOTHING - wrong with something that is part of a niche genre of music yet also is accessible due to the passion and skill of the band in making music that is good regardless of its style - punk, ska, rock, pop, or otherwise. A guess another way to look at is this: Rancid was one of those bands that could show people outside the punk scene that punk is legitimate music with deep nuance and lasting value.

Bro they got their start as 2/4th or 3/4ths of Op Ivy, hottest band at the time

Saw em 2015 on the Out Come The Wolves 20th anniversary tour. Still one of the best punk shows ive ever seen

They have the best punk bassist ever. And thats it

I want to thank my alcoholic roommate from Florida when we were teaching ESL in South Korea for introducing me to Operation Ivy and Rancid. I'm not a true punk, but god do I love the music

I'm mad I didn't start listening to Rancid until 15 years ago. I'm 58 I'm sure I would have enjoyed them in the early 90s

I'm a metal head and I love rancid. I've even seen them a couple times live. There's something about the way they click when they play it's f****** awesome.

I saw Rancid with surviving members of The Beat a while back. The energy and positivity radiating from both the bands and the crowd was unparalleled.

That was a GREAT tour

Energy is such a great album. Sound System is one of my go to songs when I'm feeling broken down.

Thank you for this! I grew up on Blink and Sum, and then I heard Tim on the Boxcar Racer album, and I learned about Transplants, and I knew I had to have more of this guy's voice in my life. Rancid are Hall of Fame level, and Life Wont Wait is the single best punk rock album ever.

When I discovered Rancid was when Ricky Rachtman showed Salvation on MTV. Went out the next day and bought Let’s Go and their first self titled CD also. Been a huge fan ever since. I think Tim Armstrong is a great songwriter and has a great vision for where he wants to go. They have been a big part of my soundtrack for the last 30 years.

Nice video. Surprised you didn't mention Tim writes pop songs. I think he's co written at least 9 songs for Pink

It was my 17th birthday and we went and saw our new favorite band Op Ivy open for Social Distortion at a shitty club in Sacramento. Mostly went for op ivy! The next night we found ourselves in Berkeley to go check out the Adolescents at another shitty club, Berkeley square. We were country girls in the city and went to Taco Bell before the show. Couple of dudes were in there and they looked familiar. We asked them if they were at the show the night before in Sacramento and they said, we were in the show! We are in op ivy! Oh my gosh we were so elated. They asked us where we were from and we said up in the Sierras. They noticed we were by ourselves and they offered to safely walk us to the venue. When we got to the show, they made sure we were safe inside and then they said bye and split. I will always have a place in my heart for these fellas who helped chaperone our country bumpkin brains around sketchy part of Berkeley just to be cool.

I love this! Thanks for bringing up them as well as op ivy! I was acquainted with Lars and used to love going to the shows and seeing the guys! Thanks again for shouting them out and doing this look into their history, as an old bay area punk who grew up with alot of these guys and saw them live it's awesome to see someone talking so highly of them! Keep doing what you do

God, I've been waiting for this video since I found your channel so many years ago! Operation Ivy and Rancid were two of my biggest sonic influences back in my band days. I didn't find them until Indestructible, but I went back and checked through all of their stuff and I've never looked back. Always a good time, and Matt Freeman, what a bassist am I right? The Maxwell Murder Solo? Genius stuff there.

I've been defending Rancid since the 90's. Hey guy who gave up punk rock at 18, are they still not punk enough for you? Lol.... Adina stills gives me chills every time.

Very Well done, I am 55 year boy who grew up on the CLASH I suffered a stroke it's been a slow recovery and listing to Punk and it is phyosphy helps I will listen to your previous and future posts!

"Let's go" is the album that got me into the genre, even music. A hard hitting work of love from start to finish.

Inveterately, your presentations are cogent, well-researched, and thought-provoking rife with well-balanced arguments. Each one of your videos educate me immensely. Thank you so much, for all your efforts.

I'm glad you gave props to bands like Nirvana opening the door for bands like Rancid. A lot of people like to look past that fact. Yes Op Ivy was obviously the main reason why they became Rancid but The Grunge/Indie College scene helped open people's minds. Thanks. Great review. Matt Freeman is one of my largest influences when it comes to bass playing the other is Peter Hook.

the 90s were such a great time to be a teenager for music. Everyone in my high school listened to grunge, alternative, metal. Even the poppy kids were listening to Dre and Snoop, not so much Ace of Base lol

I graduated in ‘95 and at the time I refused to listen to Rancid since they were on MTV. I didn’t realize at the time it was practically Op Ivy which I loved. Finally years later, as a huge Clash fan, a friend in college told me I should give Rancid a try since I was such a fan of the Clash so I did and I’ve been listening to them ever since. They’ve truly become one of my all time favorite bands. Great vid!

Their 2000 self titled album is my JAM. I listened to it over and over again when I was 16.

First heard Salvation when it was blowing up, but a buddy told me to get Rancid ‘93 instead. Like a good little follower, I did just that and was blown away. One of the best albums ever. I can’t say I love every album since, but I do love Rancid as a band. This was fun to watch.

Finally saw them at Slamdunk festival in Italy Friday night. After almost 30 years, and they were awesome! Such a treat to finally see then play live!

Another great video! I remember getting Life Won't Wait on release day and everyone HATED it. Bloodclot and 1998 (maybe) being the only exceptions. Looking back on it now though it's criminally underrated. That album can hold it's own against any of the Trojan Records classics imo.

Life Won't Wait rips. It's a little more diverse sounding but still very much true to its roots. It's obviously not And Out Come the Wolves, but in all fairness, nothing can match that record. Kind of unfair to try to compare the two.

I was a Gilman dude when Operation Ivy first came into the scene. I was at every OPIV show. Your assessment of Operation Ivy and Rancid is spot on. I do not disagree with any statements you made. I appreciate this video. Thank you.

I worked at Toys R Us back in the mid-2000’s. At one point we had a Rancid album for sale, right in the middle of The Wiggles and Thomas the Train. I thought that was just wild.

That was legit my path into punk. I was aware of bands like Sex Pistols ramones and the clash but was ultimately a blink/GC skater kid who once I found rancid made me dive deeper into the genre.

Then I went from 12 year old in Hurley shirts to wearing like the virus tees and bondage pants. Rancid is really the seminal punk band for that millennial generation.

Rancid is the only one that fully embraced Punk as an entire subculture: dress, music, attitude, lyrical content. Their love of it is so authentic that they make references to it in their lyrics and visuals and songs they covered. And it was great because it made it feel grounded in history, culture, and a lifestyle. People who don't know wouldn't understand how getting into Rancid leads to Operation Ivy then to the Clash then the Ruts then the soundtrack to the Harder they Come and then you're following things back from the late 60-70's on. I'm 43 now. But at 17 I knew who Desmond Dekker and Jimmy Cliff and toot and the maytals were in addition to everybody from stooges, mc5, discharge, gbh, ruts, germs, cockney rejects, blitz, . This was shocking to people, especially Jamaicans, who didn't understand why a latino teenage rocker knew about all this or people who knew about classic rock and knew just enough about the precursors of punk so that we could talk. The lack of this kind of kinesthetic chain is why bands like the Offspring and Greenday mean very little to me. They don't belong to any subculture beyond their pocket of west coast pop/skater punk. There was nothing there to immerse yourself in.

43 nowadays is young in relation to punk. The OGs are all pushing into their 60s-70s. I'm 39 and I feel like things have changed so much just since the 2000s. I can't imagine what it must be like looking back from the early 80s or late 70s.

@mkn.567

Жыл бұрын

@@bman6065 That's actually my point. Because I got into Rancid, I could trace back all this quality music that was way before me. And that is due to their embracing of an entire subculture. A Greenday or Blink 182 fan doesn't have that probability of getting into all of that good stuff. (I'm not saying it is impossible).

Rancid was one of the big ones for me in getting down the rabbit hole

Love your stuff man! thank you

Rancid, Lookout and Gilman St changed my life as a kid. They all got me into progressive politics because everyone is excepted. I wasn't homeless but I was a street kid and could relate to a lot of the songs. I'm in my 40s now and everytime Rancid is in Sacramento, no matter the cost or the place I'm there

I was born in 1985, I grew up in the era when AFI Rancid NOFX and Green Day where sold in skate shops, (ah the 90s era) I grew up on early AFI early Green Day operation Ivy and rancid I Still love today these bands even after they signed to label, it’s always amazing to see especially with bands you grew up listening too. I don’t listen to a lot of punk much anymore cause I listen to metal most of the time, but I still have these bands in my collection and still listen to them regularly.

I loved hearing the Transplants on that shampoo commercial. It was good to see those guys getting theirs.

Benefit of having internet access as a teen, I was able to find Rancid and Op Ivy at the same time. Two bands that definitely molded a lot of my personality/outlook on life in general. I’m actually a huge fan of their Indestructible album, tracks like Start Now, Arrested in Shanghai, and Memphis are constantly in my daily rotation. Thanks for the who’s who of the scene near the end of the video, US Bombs, GBH, all those guys, and name dropping Rise Against, would love a video about them. I have very strong admiration for the first four albums, and very strong opinions on their latter day sound.

I heard Rancid before OPIV and when I did hear OPIV for the first time, I guessed it was them because of Tim and Matt.

My introduction to Rancid oddly enough was the 2000 album. I was going from listening to Blink-182 at 13 years old to the Transplants and I wanted to check out Tim Armstrong’s other band Rancid. At the time Rancid 2000 was their latest record, my dad picked it up for me and I instantly loved it. I would listen to it on repeat and the flood gates were then open to not only other Rancid albums but other amazing punk bands, including many on Hell Cat Records label through the Give them the Boot complications. Total gateway into great punk bands, all because of Rancid. They were even my first punk show at the Electric Factory back in 2003..one of the best shows ever and the first time I was in the circle pit, which still to this day I also remember Lars saying “I want to see the biggest fucking circle pit in the world!” which the crowed delivered. Great band.
