[@mraaronhd]

I swear, RKL puts so many metal bands to shame with just how good their musical chops are!

[@blackmondaygirl]

mraaronhd no bullshit editing. Hell yeah. They got fucking skills no doubt about it. Such talented musicians.

[@mraaronhd]

blackmondaygirl yea they were a great band.

[@syberpunk5367]

Truth

[@ninoslav3631]

But this is no metal, its Punk but whatever! :D

[@mraaronhd]

@@ninoslav3631 Oh I know, and that’s the thing. Metal bands are usually supposed to be more technical than punk bands, but there are definitely some exceptions with RKL being one of those.

[@kilian1978]

Now and than: a timeless masterpiece! Can't wait for the ReUnion with the singer from Municipal Waste ....

[@dubfunk1886]

He isn't a stand in for Jason. It isn't bad per se, but a totally different vibe that doesn't match their old stuff.

[@CyTolliver]

When I initially bought this record as a young teen, I had no idea how much it would change my life and outlook on music permanently. 30 some odd years later, it's still the high water mark for all punk/metal/aggressive rock music bar none. Hands down, 5 star masterpiece. Not a bad tune in the bunch.

[@anything7441]

Awesome ! Excellent . Im living back vibes now

[@justmy2cents458]

Hey you hit the nail on the head, a album you can listen to straight thru with out skipping a single one. A remarkable album and 1 of my top 10 albums still

I WAS “in” a “Band” who Opened 4 “The Decendants”(&”Agent Orange”) in TJ.(MX.)Late in the 20th Century,(So what,huh?

[@laggers54]

The drumming and bass playing on this is 👌

[@TheSleepingonit]

Fucking lights out good

[@alexschuster123]

It's good to hear a bassist ripping along with the rest of the instruments and not being a lazy douche in the background. The world of fast/heavy music needs more people taking Joe Raposo's approach.

[@cowboy1556]

+Alex Schuster Been thinking this for years. couldn't agree more. lazy douche bags.

[@TakBonez]

+Alex Schuster All I need to say is Rob "The Baron" Millar from Amebix, if you haven't heard them go check them out. Dude is crazy fucking insane on bass.

[@mirak63]

You have a wrong perception, because it's way more physical to play bass than guitar. If bass parts are simplified it's because of that, not because of lazyness.

[@maredevil1]

I agree to some extent, however there are simply some songs that work better with simpler bass lines.

[@alexschuster1618]

Absolutely. But I find many bassists approach to be lacking. My mind/ears can't help but fill in the blanks and wish there was someone more creative moving the low end.

[@explotacionweb2502]

probably one of the best hardcore lp in history. They were amazing, great melodies!

[@GaelicStallion]

Unique sound. No other punk band has ever had the sound of this album. A real masterpiece

[@_thevaporz]

They really had a great way of incorporating elements of punk, metal and funk.

[@coryhophood2877]

The masterpiece of masterpieces

[@sickojulius]

absolutly

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

@@_thevaporz Bad Brains has that too but never went in a Crossover Direction,I'd say this is sort of like Gang Green,Suicidal Tendencies,Ratos de Paros,or Agnostic Front from The Late 80s/Early 90s.

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

One of The Riffs on Will to Survive sorta sounds like Bathory+a lot of Skate Punk.

[@mcdjchandler]

I've had this on vinyl since it came out, beautiful feeling part 3 is a classic. They remind me of a punk rock Iron Maiden

[@jayn8392]

They deff have kind of a killers era maiden vibe.

[@willdelbrook2962]

Knew Jason an his wife personally had great ties with em RKL was the shit will never forget being 7 an jammin at the show. Thanks mom for being suck a person that got into the mix with peeps

[@capitainecrunch008]

The best of all Californian punkrockers.

[@osiris093]

Montecito.....I grew up in Santa Maria....just north...

[@jengelenm]

This is top-notch punk!!!! They have a similar sound like german thrashers Destruction, Jason sounds a bit like Schmier. This is just a coincidence i noticed, this is a gem of a band, with a unique crossover sound and finest musicianship.

[@mattfoley4749]

Cleary see where nofx got it

[@jjminus7670]

This is just fantastic, so much more than "another typical" punkband, RKL was something more than that & filled me with strenght through hard times! Tanx

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL! Probably Epitaph's best release. Such a shame this ragingly playful rock'n'roll album kinda drowned in the tsunami of lousy 90's melocore.

[@jmadison6489]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, trailing on a blaze of thriving insight Straight into the unknown void. Well, I'm watching my reflection be projected On a piece of celluloid. Deep in the alleys of my mind I find a dark shadow of the paranoid. But I'll come down to see it's only me And I hold the master-key.

In Your Mind 7:30 Rest easy boys... One, Two, One, Two, Three, Four! Well, I'm so tired of your whining, Yes, I've said this all before, If you didn't hear the first time here's your chance you get one more. So listen close to what I say, It'll change the way you live. For the second time it's simple - Think Positive! Take a situation that someone says stinks, And make it good, it's probably just a shitty way he thinks. So pack a bowl sit back, relax, and listen real close. And afterwards we'll raise some hell, get drunk, and drop a dose. You keep on trying and one day you'll find out what it means, means. If life's what you make it, make it good, Its never as bad as it seems, seems. We're all stuck here together in this twisted misery. Is life a game a lesson or just one big mighty score, If so, who's the boss? Where's the teacher? What's the score? Why am I here, what is my job, What purpose do I serve, Is there an answer to these questions or a lesson to be learned? When I die where do I go, The final act or premiere show, Is someone there to take my hand and lead the way? Or am I on my own and now full grown, Being that my mind is blown. Supposed to use the answers that I found along the way. You thought you knew it all but still the answers you couldn't find, find Until you realize life's what you make it and it's all in your mind, mind You broke the chains which held you down so long Now your free! Well, waited so long for this day to be free, Breaking the chains that we're binding me. Don't look so hard, it's easy to find, Life's what you make it, it's all In Your Mind. You can't fight depression, its not a disease. If you say your life sucks then it will suck indeed. Be happy or sad or whatever you chose, And I know I can win I'm not destined to lose. Never quit or give up even if you've had enough You're not a loser despite what you believe Try your hardest, do your best, Life's not hard, but it's a test to see who's blind and naive. Never done, your on the run, relax and have a little fun. Let's race and see who falls behind. It's in my mind

original drummer and singer are both dead, and another guy who drummed for them at one point, so think that is it

[@xabierolaizola]

Alexander St-John some of them play now in Lagwagon. It´s not the same of course, but they r cool too

[@Niet177]

Alexander St-John Jason, Bomber Manzulo & Derrick Plourde (Originally from Lagwagon who played drums for RKL ) are dead. The Lagwagon you hear nowadays is RKL with a different singer.

[@xabierolaizola]

Niet177 I don't think Jason and bomber played in lagwagon at all... But I don´t know

[@SpongeBath_ShitPants]

Xabier Olaizola Jason or Bomer never played in Lagwagon. Joe is in Lagwagon now though.

*Designed to eat meat* The meat we eat is cooked, not raw, idiot. We aren't really naturally meant to eat meat. We cook meat to get rid of harmful organisms in it that could kill us, but real carnivores don't need to cook it because they were DESIGNED to eat it.

@@MrSimondaniel3 Don’t forget Bad Religion. Fat Mike idolizes the hell out of both them and RKL, and even modeled Fat Wreck after Epi.

[@zappadadooi90]

I can definitely hear their influence in Strung Out and NoFx. However I'd say Pennywise owes so much to Bad Religion they'd never exist w/o BR.,,and ditto for Guttermouth with The Vandals. Lagwagon's biggest influence is The Descendants IMO. I dont really hear RKL in NUFAN sound that much

10:18 house guest 😭 Misery overtakes me, no longer am I the boss. Inferiority grows stronger as happiness gets lost. Still hanging on, not giving up, there's so many things to save. As evil creeps into my life, surrendering, I become a slave. It's a power great and stronger then any which I've seen. Take away a speck of hope, destroying every dream. An old, old friend just now, new, returning to the scene. What's now pathetic, weak, and sad was once a human being. Don't fall in, your sure to drown, Stagnates the fastest stream. Ruins life relationship, makes nightmares of your dreams. Don't give up, keep on fighting, lock the door, now we begin. Well, he'll knock, knock, and pound some more, but just please don't let him in. 'Cause it's a power great and stronger then any which I've seen. Take away a speck of hope, destroying every dream. An old, old friend just now, new, returning to the scene. What's now pathetic, weak, and sad was once a human being. My door I opened, willingly not knowing, Young blinded and naive. Not knowing better Mad I did this, houseguest just won't leave. Stay ??????? with no regard for those who die. I'm sure you'll find a way to make his presence justified. ?He's coming close freeway now? taking what he pleases. ???Standing??? and won't ?crush? on his knees/ Your dreams are lost now ????? you won't know what to do/ Just pack your bags and choose ?your route? and close the door behind you. It's a power great and stronger Then any which I've seen Take away a speck of hope, destroying every dream An old, old friend just now, new, returning to the scene What's now pathetic weak and sad was once a human being. My door I opened, willingly not knowing Young blinded and naive, Not knowing better, Mad I did this, houseguest just won't leave.
