I remember those days and people saying Rancid 'sold out' and hopped on the ska wagon. Which is funny, since both Tim and Matt were in Op Ivy and probably responsible for inspiring half the ska bands that existed at that time. Most of those bands sailed off once the ska situation died down and yet, here's Rancid still making albums and touring like they did since day one.

It's more the whole, Tim dating a 16 year old when he was 30, and then marrying her two years later. That's called grooming.

I listen to them when I was 16. Now I have 40 and I still listen to them and sometimes i do with my 2yo daughter and she loves them. This is because Rancid is an absolutely stunning band that digs deep in your roots and gives you that street vibe, that never surrender vibe that works for generations. FU haters, long live to Rancid.

Fact, Tim Armstrong dated a 16 year old when he was 30. He's a groomer. Has nothing to do with their music, and is definitely true. They married as soon as she turned 18, and were dating before that. It's called grooming.

Yep, I went to a well to do school in the 90s in a suburb on the east coast. The so-called punks there were always trashing the sellout bands and acting like they got in on the ground floor/early days of the bands with roots 3000 miles away. Very silly now in hindsight. I don't blame a band for selling out. Got to strike when the iron is hot and set yourself up for the future. I often wonder how many bands out there missed opportunities because they wanted to stick to their morals and are now out of music and barely scraping by.

They played Dead bodies, I wanna riot and (my favourite) St. Mary...boom! I've missed some of their ska repertoar (Evil's my friend would eject me into stratosphere), but overall, they played 27 songs. You know there's always a desire for more, but it was epic and I would love to do it again...respect!

Any Rancid fan who's listened to every song on every album knows Ranc has always had their own style theyve always stuck to their style and out of the 20+ songs on each of their 9 studio albums, but their solo stuff, you're talking out of 200+ songs 1 or 2 have been played on the radiom that's 1-2%!!!!!
