Rancid - Red Hot Moon (Live on Conan)

I agree!👍

[@dylan2860]

that is the beauty of Rancid (and also Transplants)......sometimes you hear the song and its so different from that other version you just heard but you know its them and sometimes it just hits a little bit harder with the new key, at that time in your life. Spontaneous as hell and I love it! They sounded great in this one!

[@imadediana1235]

I Agree 🙏

Is it not the same thing? The planet and the world? I'm just saying. But I totally agree.

[@2Timone7]

Read more carefully, my friend. The best PUNK bass player on the planet, if not the best (over all) bass players in the world. Nuance.

[@devilsoffspring5519]

I guess he forgot about Scott Shiflett from Face to Face, who completely kicks ass on the bass :) Honestly though, Matt Freeman is up there with the best of them simply because of how melodic and compelling his bass playing is. And Out Come The Wolves was killer in that regard--just meaty, melodic bass lines that were tasty and addictive :)

When punk rock was still punk!

[@devilsoffspring5519]

Actually, many consider this to be the "beginning of the end" of old-school punk because this is when the really melodic stuff was becoming widely known and very popular (early 2000s.) It started happening in the '90s and by the time this was released it was in full swing. If you ask me though, THIS is the good shit. I always preferred the more melodic style of stuff, even if it's "pop". So, in my own opinion it took quite a while for punk rock to become really good music.

[@dgates6165]

@@devilsoffspring5519 That is a very interesting observation. I agree with you assessment of THIS being the good shit. Some pop punk is too much pop for me, but it's still a more enjoyable listening experience than something like Sex Pistols lol.

[@devilsoffspring5519]

@@dgates6165 I'll give the Pistols, the Clash, Black Flag, Kennedys etc. the credit they're due. They're the originals, they made people aware that punk was something people do. It's just that I like *music*, and this shit's leaps and bounds ahead of the intensely angry and "authentic" old-school punk because it's much better developed musically/melodically. I guess it doesn't matter, I just prefer it. :)

[@dgates6165]

@@devilsoffspring5519 no, I agree with that as well. I still love the old school punk bands!

[@devilsoffspring5519]

@@dgates6165 No doubt, they're the ones that got the ball rolling. I'll admit to a fondness for some of the really poppy stuff, although I'm getting far too old for most of that shit. I don't listen the the really early Green Day anymore, for example. I just think their newer stuff is much better. On the other hand I still really dig I'd Do Anything from Simple Plan for some reason, and that stuff's as poppy as it gets. I don't listen to most of the rest of that album though.

@@nicholasemerson9852 So, they'd be better off not playing at all just to win punk points? C'mon, get real, this is a great performance that nobody would have seen otherwise. The swear words in Red Hot Moon are a part of the original lyric, but they are not fundamental to the song, and if need be, they can be glossed over for a TV performance without ruining the whole song. A song like Bad Habit, from the Offspring, cannot be played without the swearing because it's fundamental to the song, and taking it out would ruin the song. Bad Habit is a song about road rage, so taking out the swearing would obliterate the point of the song--but, that simply isn't the case with Red Hot Moon. See what I mean?

Line up the lemmings and Green Day, Rancid and *insert phony pop-punk band here* will come calling. I like it all just fine, but call a spade a spade. It’s pop music. TSOL, D.O.A., Vandals, Viletones, Bad Brains, Hüsker Dü, Fear, Stiff Little Fingers et al. were punk bands. Blondie is 10x more punk than Rancid could ever dream of being.
