NOFX Rancid - BYO Split Series Volume III

[@baz6004]

Whoever uploaded this is a legend in their own right. A classical album. I come here often to be transported to my youth. Who am I kidding, I still listen to these bands every day.

[@breadsandwich336]

[@dneck]

classic not classical... but can you imagine these songs being played all Bethoven/Mozarty? hahaha

[@baz6004]

@dneck yeah, predictive text error. Like your Bethoven, I'm guessing. Punk rock Mozart would be excellent though

Nofx kills the first half of this album. Then Rancid manages to turn the knob up to 12. This album changed my life. I listen to it at least once a week. thank you to everyone involved in making this happen.

[@lt7114]

When this album was released, I was at Warped Tour, and at the end of the festival we were hanging out in the back by the tour buses, there was a box on the ground full of posters promoting this split. Probably 1,000 of them. They became my bedroom wallpaper, lol.

Corazon de Oro is probably my favorite. Not so much this song but Mike really holds his own on the Bass parts, I don't think anyone excepted him to be able to keep up but he really impressed me. I can't remember what year this was, I kind of remember it being 2001 or somewhere around that time and I clearly remember going back to heavy petting zoo after this and finding a new respect for his musicianship, especially on that album. I think most people consider Punk in Drublic to be there best album but Heavy petting zoo definitely has more personality. I think the Black and white is my favorite song of there's

[@DabbaRanx]

God I've not listened to this for well over a decade. I always remembered thinking that NOFX made the Rancid songs sound like their own - as if they'd written them themselves, while the Rancid versions of the NOFX songs sounded like covers. The Rancid version of Stickin' in my Eye is so awesome though. Every time I used to play it on bass, I always threw in the Matt Freeman intro instead of the Fat Mike version

[@seraphimdunn]

Lol what? Bob could have been on rancid 2000

[@autogolazzojr7950]

@@seraphimdunn I guess the instrumentation is pretty similar, but the lyrics are so obviously NOFX lyrics.

I have no comment on your musical opinions, I just appreciate that you're a Spurs fan. Thank you and Crom bless.

[@s33ndmi]

I recall fat mike telling the story of them being approached to do this split with rancid, and according to mike he said: "as long as i dont have to play matt's (freeman) bass lines note for note." paraphrasing of course.

[@hyenamgehring9303]

Saw them in Washington last summer, no Olympia WA but they did play radio which was fucking amazing

[@heyholetsgo]

@@hyenamgehring9303 this would have been around the time of the split coming out….whatever year that was at house of blues, saw them at house a blues a few times so they kinda blend together. maybe that was the one with frenzal rhomb & mad caddies, ya think so.

[@alexanderheigl3045]

in the liner notes for this, Fat Mike writes something along the lines of, "When Rancid asked us to do this, I asked them, 'Do I have to play Matt's bass parts?'" and Matt took that personally on "Stickin' In My Eye."

[@tylergregory7684]

Haha, onlly a handful of people in the world could play Matt's bass parts.

[@MikeP2055]

@@shuukito THANK YOUUU! I've always thought the same. It's such a perfect reimagining. The tempo and Smelly's playing (along with Hefe's solo) is so damned good. I think it gets immediately overlooked the second Radio starts.

Somehow one time I was in Baltimore for NOFX, army crawled through peoples legs until running into the front row barricade. Hack squared some chick out of the way. Mike gave me his vodka cranberry from the stage. Also met Lars once outside of the 9:30 club. Super nice guy. Punk rock is still awesome.

Yea antennas, great song. Just learnt it on guitar.

Awesome, I remember this! Two of my favorite punk bands. Nice trip down memory lane.

[@RyanDepauloDegenerateGambler]

NOFX doing the rancid songs is the way better side of the album

[@dneck]

i thought so growing up too but as I get older the rancid sides hit way harder. Olympia WA is too fast and not as good as the OG

[@bbens999]

Umm, Mike clearly just has more urgency to get back to Olympia, as the lyrics intended, so your argument is invalid! 😂 /s

[@AndrewBarrett-k5b]

I play Tenderloin every day. I live on Jones St. San Francisco CA

I always thought I was super lucky to grow up with punk rock parents. My first show ever was AFI and Sick Of It All, first album was Op Ivy Energy.

I grew up in St. George, UT and we'd drive down to Vegas all the time for concerts n whatnot. (Did Lagwagon open for them at that particular show?)
