RANCID's Lars Frederikson talks with Eric Blair 2005

[@timothymstern]

i used to see lars kicking around SF at shows and once in the Westfield Center bathroom of all places. Super sincere and nice. a real sweet guy. tim and matt are the same way. way humble and low key. makes a great band that much greater...

[@RaNciDalLdaY]

GONNA SEE THEM ON WEDNSDAY!!!!!! soo excitedddddddddddd I CANT SLEEPP!

[@kustomhooligans]

Lars gave me and my friend Jim A BEER at Warped 1996 or 98? We worshiped Rancid and he was the first person I ever met that I just couldn't contain my excitement. Super cool guy, he knew how much he and Tim meant to us and he mustve spent a half hour with us, behind the buses, away from all the crowds. He introduced us to Chino from Deftones and told us to go buy the Cadillac Tramps album because he said it change his life. I didn't dig the album but I've bought ever Rancid album ever and theyre one of the best, most underrated bands ever. Better than the Ramones & The Clash, in my opinion. The Clash are phenomenal but they have maybe 25 songs I love, Rancid has 200+ songs I love!

rancid records saved my lives man. love rancid and the ramones! rancid made punk rock what it is for me.

[@daphnetruman]

The genuine article right there. We're fortunate to have him.

[@katmd03]

Lars seems like a big sweetie pie 😄💗

[@MetalisLikeAwesome]

if i ever meet this guy, im gonna hug the crap out of him

[@ajgalanski7]

Damn, Lars seems like one fuckin' wholesome dude. Never seen any of his interviews before.

[@byyou]

i wish sometimes meet lars & tim

[@madvegan66]

Lars? Oh hell yes, I love him.

[@PunkWolf1984]

tipical Lars checking out crotches at the cementary haha. This is one of the best interviews ever Lars is so awesome, and it hits agreat subject for punks honoring The Ramones, cause even if your not a Ramones fan you gotta love em for the road they paved

[@HarmonyChlorine]

Lars is the man.

[@PunkWolf1984]

Fuck yeah man! The Clash and The Ramones rule!

[@Tomsedated]

whats the name of the guy who lars sed time bomb was written about?

[@Ynnadodgers]

@TheNewMusicNetwork Yeah, I know my history. Thanks. But it IS history.. HB, as well as other areas are much different in terms of music related crews in 2011. In that department, Lars has nothing to fear, but he wasn't putting up a front in this video anyhow.

[@Ynnadodgers]

@TheNewMusicNetwork Case closed? Cute. Don't know what you're on about MY "cholo-billy scene", but that was really hilarious. Either way, you're right about one thing - there is definitely a large skinhead/punk scene in HB/OC/LA. Next time you see Rancid live here with the Adolescents & TSOL opening for them again, I guess we'll see "wannabe tough guy" Lars not last a second...right? Because that's like totally what has happened before...................right...............? Case closed :)

[@rezsk8kyd]

[@BrickUnit]

Sound checks at 502

[@Headstonejess]

[@kAzOxXx]

[@Aggrosj]

Ramones... Danny says we gotta go. Gotta go to idaho, but we can't go surfing cause it's twenty below.

[@Die4tw0]

agreed

[@muzzyb2007]

Its Lars Frederiksen kool vid :P

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

30,000th view. I should play lotto tonite...

[@missghoulina]

way to spell his name wrong on the interview thingy haha

[@robbiesilverwolf]

wait david courtney is real!!!

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

rancid are not homophobes!!!

[@chuzz123]

it was eric hogan

[@gizmotv9320]

Gotta disagree with lars. The sex pistols were already a band before they even heard of the ramones and the clash formed after seeing the pistols.

[@Grimeyhoob]

IrishDroog, I know Rancid collaborated with a homophobic artist, but theyre not homophobic themselves.

[@tomhigton]

haha 'we are in hollywierd'

[@Lurch13punk]

Rick

[@Ynnadodgers]

@TheNewMusicNetwork That's a joke, right? Orange County??

[@spyfoxguy]

actual flow of conversation "(awful lyrics)" "sounds like blaring out needs to do a reunion tour" "we just saw pictures of your goddaughter"

[@chuzz123]

that thing bout the window isnt true

[@Lurch13punk]

Son?

[@Lurch13punk]

Fred

[@PunkWolf1984]

just like Lars to stare at a guys crotch in the middle of a cementary : /

[@zzyzx0788]

Indestructible wasn't the amazing of a CD at all. It was alright i guess. The clash were way better than the ramones. The clash could actually play they their instruments

[@jassonbender]

that motorhead shirt is possibly the worst most trendiest shit ive ever seen rocked by lars
