Tim Armstrong "It's Quite Alright" At: Guitar Center

[@vazgoat]

I met Tim in 2003 outside The Carling Academy in Birmingham. He was having a cigarette in the area where the buses drive in. I couldn't believe it was him, but recognised him by all of his tattoos, and the fact that it was obviously him! A bouncer ran over and told us to leave but Tim replied in the coolest mumble ever known to man, "It's cool man, they're with me!" He gave us 5 minutes to bask in his glory; those 5 minutes were probably the pinnacle of my adolescence. You're a legend Tim!

[@sarahha6523]

That’s so nice ❤

[@antnotrub]

This man saved my life. Rancid made me feel like I was a part of something.

[@punker182]

[@raydentelevision170]

[@chuckiegoria2943]

Hes a brother and saved mine too❤

[@tttoooaaaddd]

it's so crazy how someone you've never met can have such an impact on ones life. that you feel you owe them everything. thank God for Tim Armstrong and Rancid i'd do anything for you guys! keep rockin!

[@leeonerd13]

thanks Tim for influencing us all

[@liamadams261]

i look up to this man :)

[@Ruck-AF]

I can't get enough of this! Tim should record the entire Rancid 2000 album acoustically.

[@josephfabriziodawson5566]

Have you ever listened to Tim Timebomb and friends? It's not exactly acoustic but it's still awesome 😊

[@JesseUnderdog]

One of those rare, talented people who don't just play the guitar or sing the song, they tell stories with their music.

[@punker182]

word!

[@andrewgraves3529]

I have listened to you since I was 11. It was 1991. It miay have been Operation Ivy.Years ago. You have done nothing but teach. I learned the guitar because of you and Lars' harmonies. Thnx. Punx.

[@AKAMUSICkeepit100]

Legend, was raised on this guys music, and it's quite alright

[@oregonflatland]

i started listening to rancid when i was 14 in 1995 when let's go was new - now i'm 31 hell yeah rancid for life.

[@CrusterfunkShenanigans]

42 crew! 🖤

[@David-tc6rg]

You know you write great music when it sounds amazing acoustic or plugged in thanks Tim .

[@stayfreshvandalz]

this song always eases my mind just enough to get me to sleep when im having a rough night

[@mrksdlx]

I used to bump into him all the time at a grocery store in Silver Lake. The man's gotta eat too!

[@MultiRyanHunter]

you just can't take the ghetto out the man. I look up to this man and Rancid so much. My influence to continue living.

[@NunyaBuznez]

right on. Awesome!

[@KingofFools1976]

This song reminds me of someone, from somewhere so long ago...

[@guitarcenter]

"It's Quite Alright" to check out Tim Timebomb's acoustic rendition of #Rancid's punk track filmed at Guitar Center Hollywood in 2012.

[@oscarcoyt8248]

Opp

[@rudemonipulation]

thanks tim for being tim and thanks guitar center for all the free cases u throw away a few dings dont bother me or my guitar..

[@rbzeta5134]

thanks Tim, for everyone. and for this video, i think that this session is quite alright :)

[@rickmanners7179]

Rancid @ Van's Warped tour circa 1990something…. Hey TIm… I've passed on the autographed guitar pick to my nephew….. who's turned out to be a kick ass bass player… got to pass the torch and tradition…. you always did your own style and we always did love the hell out of it

[@Skybluewarrior]

Hell yeah! Love this song and the whole album. Brilliant version!

[@sarahha6523]

[@parthreera]

i keep coming back to this song and thinking just how great this is!

[@byyou]

absolutely, this one is bring my day brighter, oh my god.

[@matefx]

I love Tim Armstrong.

[@XjoeystraightedgeX]

living legend

[@phreakert]

thank you guitar center and tim armstrong for these acoustic versions. loved em. oi, eh.

[@larryc2321]

Tim is a Legend period

[@signyourselfaway]

Brilliant, just love it.

[@invinciblejack]

Thanks for this guys. Who'd have thought a big scary skinhead with cobweb tattoos, an acoustic guitar and one harmonica could make a sound so sweet, huh? Up The Punx All The Way. xxxxxxx

[@SpicyMcD]

Fanny Rachel Harle Tim aint no skinhead, just shaved it all off.

[@felixward867]

Shaved head = skinhead.

[@NinjaGamer-oy1ol]

+Felix Ward nah like punks skinheads are a subculture. If i remember right they believe in racial equality but I may be mistaken. Also skinheads aren't to be confused with Neo-Nazis (opposite) who adopted a skinhead look

[@NinjaGamer-oy1ol]

+Felix Ward but yea he ain't a skinhead

[@SpicyMcD]

Felix Ward So youve basically classified everyone with male pattern baldness or a shaved head as a skin? Righttt. Used to be a Hammerskin, I guarantee you he aint nothing close.

[@oscarzenteno4942]

You're the best ur music with rancid and transplants sounds great

[@HisDubbness68]

Damn...its things like this that make me realize I've never had an original thought. Its always been one of my favorite rancid songs so I started working out how to play it acoustically (with the harmonica lol) and of course Tim beat me to it AND it crushes mine in every conceivable way.

[@verpeila2]

tim is my hero! i love him

[@TheRsmdchick]

I love you Tim!!!!

[@NicoJParco]

Just realized that Tim Armstrong could cover a whole Midnight Oil catalogue and you'd never know the difference!! Tim=Peter

[@aaronwood3428]

Tim and mike ness should do a song together

[@WhooNiki]

There is so much truth in this music

[@koen0th]

Thanks for sharing your story with us mate!

[@jasonwest5255]

Love it!!

[@shellbell5306]

[@bluesnparadise]

[@stinkymcfingers8507]

[@patrickclark3337]

[@bburke1920]

tim armstrong is a musical genius without a doubt. so sick

[@juicycreamylove]

this dude is tuned in on the real. nice

[@ramonfigueroa2491]

I can tell you how it'll go down But only you can tell me how it'll end All systems just stop right here And all we are is pretend. So many things can be a mystery But all we're seeking is freedom You realize that your reality Is gonna be there to greet 'em It's all right It's quite all right me When ignorance manifests like that Man it's hard to stop Under developed, don't lose your balance And then take a divine drop And if you find my name in regard to danger I urge you only to heed Causation, end of the world Gonna set me free It's all right It's quite all right with me Yeah, with me!

[@meman13]

I FUCKING LOVE IT, Glad 82k love it with me.

[@damiandrums77]

so true!!

[@englishsongswithfrenchtrad5185]

does someone find out how he's strumming it ? still an enigma the way he plays it after all these years...

[@hinder57]

TIM has his own label. at least the last time I recalled...(2003-) Many bands... My friends (the Distillers), Hepcat, transplants,Leftover Crack, Choking Victim... HELLCAT RECORDS peace.

[@718comics]

Tim timebomb

[@TKOxdies]

I have that guitar....i love the shit out of it but im just curious as to why they have it mic-ed instead of pluggin into the pre-amp....owell Tims my hero.

[@MarcioNogaroto]

Cool!

[@cerlyfir483]

❤❤❤

[@MrNewguy456]

oh cool! i just went to the website, but couldn't find it, could you send me a link please?

[@KVGerudo]

I wish I could have the confidence tim has every time he flubs a Rancid song

[@charliemoney]

his voice makes me shake, man.

[@dodisugata1]

Agree!

[@sloshvictim]

Holly shit, it's that guy from Operation Ivy!!!!

[@dorismontello2000]

How many times a week do you think he shaves his head?

[@ares784512]

I literally thought the same thing for the entire length of the video

[@dorismontello2000]

[@Vianney_924]

probably every day

[@dandemon1989]

@TH30TH3RON3 why havent we heard your songs then? its not about technical prowess, its about soul and expression

[@dancarravallah7694]

The worst thing that can be said about this song is that it ends

[@randydefibaugh6829]

It wont let me post the link

[@TKOxdies]

tim started op ivy in the 87 and broke up in 89, became homeless, then mark freeman found him and they started op ivy back up....then rancid broke out and in 97 tim started hellcat records, who he helped out lars fredrickson and the bastards, transplants, and a few other bands, and now thats pretty much his life until recently when he came out with a self titled ska-punk album. WITH THE AGGROLIGHTS

[@MarcosMartins-ez6sl]

Rancid to Brazil

[@GreataVegetable]

wow.

[@Principezone]

I figured it out, its like roots radicals, only reverse. Mute every (3rd?) note to get that rythm. Not easy to learn tough, takes a while to get down.

[@FrancoFrames]

Rancid has their own label?

[@NihilistiKCunT]

How does he play like that at 0:24???

[@arthurwilliams8441]

hey did he get with boxcar racer?

[@Bazooka_Sharks]

+AW Gaming no he just sang on one song, elevator

[@xmohawkx985]

+Joseph Meador nah. wrong song homie. it was Cat like theif

[@arthurwilliams8441]

. xMOHAWKx98 Both good

[@Bazooka_Sharks]

The intro reminds me of Joe Strummer...

[@brunxbrubs4574]

[@TheYoyokoyama]
