  • RANCID never dies!!!rancid is a good reggae punk.OI!OI!OI!

  • a lot of metal, yeah but if you had a fucking clue and were tuned into real hardcore punk rock you knew all about The Adolescents, D.I. and other L.A. bands that were still kicking around back in the late 80s.

  • @TheNewMusicNetwork THE FUCK? well first off hey fuck you, Rancid never claimed to be "Hardcore" gay ass ska songs? You obviously listened to their songs, so shut the fuck up:), Rancid is still going unlike many of your older bands you listen to I assume, and arguing on this about who's a "plastic pussy like you" makes us all sound fucking stupid, because if someone asked you something like this in person you'd pop off and say something stupid like this.

  • @TheNewMusicNetwork And if you don't even like the fucking band quit clicking the links, grow up kid.

  • @TheNewMusicNetwork Yeah yours is cottage cheese looking and extremely loose. Your brother told me all about it after you two had incest sex last night. But anyways... you should really just shut your fat lips. I wrote that shit over two weeks ago moron and I dont give a fuck about your video links. Most likely spam.

  • @TheNewMusicNetwork Rancid ain't poser.fuck you!!get outta here!!Get your pussy outta here you FAG!!!

  • @TheNewMusicNetwork Your just a dumbass and the common douchebad who doesnt know Rancid or what there about so fuck you and FUCK OFF!

  • Anyone can be punk. As long as they don't dress punk and call themselves heavy metal thrasher.

    Pisses me off when people call me emo

    FUCK EMOS!!

  • I like Green Day, Rancid, and Billy Idol...and people say I'm not punk.... but I'm fucking PUNK. Thanks, Tim Armstrong. You rock for this.

  • @Mangolio33 fight em

  • @Mangolio33 Like mark hoppus says, the punkness is inside of us, we don't have to dress like one to be one... Just have to probe it with our playlist! So keep rocking!

  • @ZhoM6 you just used Mark Hoppus as an example of punk..........gtfo

  • @njlacrosse9 I just quot him.. btw you use green day is the same thing!!!! And that was an advice

  • what tim says is true. fuckin anooys me when ppl think theres some correct political litmus test to pass to be punk.thats fine forthem, but punk is notas exclusive as that. like tim says, when your young and alienated and this music helps u form your identity and view of the world... or just get your angst out... your a punk. its not like if you were "normal" you were gonna end up loving black flag, ramones, misfits, minor threat, DK, crass, pistols etc., nor whatever real punk is around today.

  • @LetsGoMetsGo33 punk is just a fashion trend that people clung onto to try and fit into. its a dress sense. the same way u r goth if u wear dog collars and slit ur wrists. also punks dont seem to brush there teeth

  • @3jg91 wrong. punk is a subculture. so yeah, there are some fashions and trends that are associated with it but its not exlusive to people who dress a certain way. punk is just a scene.

  • im a punk, always will be. anbody can be one too

  • Oh....I'm a punk gooooooooo rancid!!!!!!

  • I started making lyrics and songs when I was a kid and didn't realize till later that it was punk.

  • what was that song they played? IT ROX MAN!

  • @RubberNinjaPwn time bomb ;)

  • @RubberNinjaPwn - iTs cAllEd "TiMe BoMb" AnD iTs oN RaNcId'S "AnD OuT CoMe ThE WoLvEs" AlBuM

  • fuck u misikuta rancid are punk. . .even if not in ur opinion they have the heart and soal and if it wasnt for them i wouldnt be here just now asshole

  • LOL WHEN I LOOK AT CUNTS LIKE RANCID AND NOFX I THINK....IT ACTUALLY IS DEAD!!!!!!!!

  • @Misikuta They are very punk if u ask me, punk is only "CONSIDERED" dead, because ass holes like u, are used to old punk, Punk has changed, but it still gives the same energy of not giving a fuck. Punk will always be alive, if there are punk bands, punks alive

  • whether u like rancid or not, tim helped foundop ivy, and lars used to play for the uk subs, two very well known punk bands from back in the day.

    rancids songwriting reflects alot of life in the early days of the east bay music scene.

    to be honest id rather listen to rancid, than stuff like oxymoron, english dogs, and the test tube babies. mainly cause i like melody. but that older shit, known as ''real punk'', i still like it and respect it.

    ya punk rock jocks..

  • oh ya and what evidence are u talking about? explain

  • damn... In this interview it's like Tim talks for me :/ I hope punk will never die..!

    Punx not dead from Greece..!

  • This is from the "punks not dead" dvd, well worth a purchase, cheap as fuck and got some top interviews

  • @casualtie061188 I saw it on TV and was fucking excited by it, seeing all my heroes and the people that inspire me. And everyone else in my family barely understood what it was about, the punk life and all. I missed the end of it though...

  • 0:24 listen to the part where he asks him self if he is a punk rocker. For some weird reason. then click on this. 1:16

  • @ArtERie11293 Get off youtube, troll. Rancid is the definition of punk, and one of the few TRUE punk bands left.

  • @Synicade Wow well played sir but i am a master of the trolling arts and i know that you are a troll also. This is my territory man get off. I am not even trolling this video actually i am just making factual statements. The truth hurts so stop being a baby. And i know your a troll because only a troll would say something as stupid as "Get off youtube, troll. Rancid is the definition of punk, and one of the few TRUE punk bands left." you need to improve your skills i am willing to help you.

  • Please somebody explain to me how this band is punk.

  • @superdog1321 idiot

  • @Melansimo No no no. He was saying there not punk making him of atleast average intelligence. He wasnt saying they are punk. lol anybody that is dumb enough to think that rancid in punk are probably to dumb to know how to breath. Meaning that there is no nead to call some one who likes rancid stupid because they have to be trolling. Lol there just doing it for a rise. Though it was dumb of him to state the obvious.

  • @ArtERie11293 Rancid is definitely punkrock, punk doesnt always have to come in the same form. And that comment was just to much writing. Even if you dont like alot of new punkrock its still better then the other branches of punk that turned into terrible shit that call themselves punk, and is just pop rock

  • @Melansimo Just because rancid is better then Justin Beaver doesnt make them punk. They are not punk. Im not saying that i hate them i just think there music sucks. But just cause there music suck isnt the reason i know there not punk. Because i dont like real punk bands but still know that there punk. That gay pop rock shit is not worse then rancid. Because rancid is that gay pop rock shit. There is no new punk so far. There is just new pop rock with a different name.

  • @ArtERie11293 so what exactly makes punk punk in ur opinion cuz apparently to u punk is defined by the kind of music and only by the kind of music...that is only a part of it punk is whats in ur heart but of course ignorant people like u dont seem to understand that like tim said himself who are u to call that one???? ...dumbass

  • @spideywidey100 I dont see the point in arguing with some one as ignorent, arrogent, and stupid as you any more. all i have to say is go killl yoour self

  • @ArtERie11293 lol u would say something like that hahaha nice argument fuck tard how old are u 12? if u cant back up ur shit dont speak at all u dont deserve to be on a rancid page so take ur ignorance else where

  • @spideywidey100 Your the one who is ignorant dumbass. You refuse to see the evidence that rancid is not punk. Also you are the one who is acting like a child. Did your daddy let you use the keyboard this morning? awww how cute.

  • @ArtERie11293 what the fuck do you know about punk you stupid asshole? you got bullshit to listen to on your fucking page. rancid IS a punk band, and a damn good one

  • @punx4life1234 You wanna know well i know this bands isnt punk. You must be trollin cuz there cant be some one dumb enough to actually believe that they are punk. Lol silly troll i caught you. Know if we want to talk about some good music i can give you some suggestions.

  • @Melansimo "Even if you dont like alot of new punkrock its still better then the other branches of punk that turned into terrible shit that call themselves punk" -Melansimo So bands like rancid then?

  • @Melansimo So he is the idiot cuz he knows this band isnt punk? i thought people who didnt know shit are idiots. For example you. You didnt know they are not punk.

  • @superdog1321

    how about you explain how they're not punk first

  • @CyberneticNightmare Well with that way of thinking everything is punk untill they do something not punk. In order to be punk they have to be punk. And since these guys arnt punk they cant be punk. Its just Common Sense that all.

  • @ArtERie11293 You still didn't answer my question, but if they're not punk, what are they?

    You know what? Nvm, don't answer me. Punk elitist assholes are not worth my time, especially when they seem to be commit a lot of there's to trolling

  • @CyberneticNightmare Just plain old boring nu rockin roll.

  • @superdog1321 Well thank you for being on of the few intelligent people that can tell that these guys are not punk.

  • @superdog1321 please somebody explain to me how to get my cock out of my bong

  • michael graves has a song called punk rock is dead.......so that means were all zombies ;) ha

  • @SocialDeth Never heard that one a million times.

  • Its "punk" bands like this shit that make people say and think punk is dead. Everyone in rancid should kill them selves.

  • @ArtERie11293 The fuck, bro. Not cool.

  • @Leugnung I know it almost makes me sick how bad rancid is fucking up the scene. They are deffinantly not cool.

  • @ArtERie11293 Wait what. Rancid is my favorite band, and I love 'em so much.

    Im not hating on them.

    They're fuckin' awesome.

  • @Leugnung Im sorry is it terminal? I could help you cure it through long sessions of listening to some quality music. But you got a bad case so it might take a while.

  • @ArtERie11293 Everyone has their opinions.

    Is it that neccesary to go and type on how they're shit?

    If you don't like it, then go be a little tit somewhere else, man.

    Why are you even listening to it anyways? If you are thou.

  • @Leugnung I UNFORTUNATELY clicked on this video by accident. Ya but i do agree that everyone has there opinions but this is a fact rancid sucks. I would also like to let you know that i am not a nipple you boob.

  • @ArtERie11293

    Rancid is a fantastic band imo.

    And if its an 'accident' then click away.

    No need to post a little shit comment.

  • fuck ya dude....to many punks these days run around fucking judging everyone...thinking they get to decide who's punk or not........punk is about doing what you want...saying "your not punk"...is not punk

  • Fuck!!! I love Tim!

  • The way Tim talks is funny as hell.

  • @DannyDefcon And how he sings too lol... But gotta love the guy. ^_^

  • @DannyDefcon LMAO true true.. what a fucking stud

  • being punk isnt about how dress or talk. its about loving rock music, and NOT GIVING A SHIT!!!

  • @sammysue807 well I don't know about "not giving a shit" since it seems a lot of great punk music is rallying AGAINST apathy

  • @Jakey1312 i meantnot giving a shit about what people think or say about you , not not caring about anything at all

  • 11 people are not punk

  • Hell yeh!

    Punk's not dead, mens. Soul' will stay

  • derivative is the word you're looking for tim, means derived from

  • I am really into to punk, and i have the same point of views as most punks. But i don't see me as a punk, i'm not rly, So you can love a genre without being a person of it.

  • 26 year old punk !!!!!!! till im a 100 or dead!

  • PUNK AS FUCK!

    

  • im fucking punk rock i do whatever the fuck i want and i dont care what anyone else says and i love rancid and punks my favorite type of music whoever has a problem with me can shove it up their ass cause i aint changing ever!! PUNK IS NOT DEAD.

I'M A PUNK AND STILL WEAR MY HAWK AT 35!!!!!! EAT A BAG OF DICKS LOSERS!!!!!!

  • @MrWillgibm im 15 and i love punk and i get picked on alot but i dont care what anyone else says punk is my favorite type of music and im going to be who i want and whoever has a problem can fuck off cause i dont give a fuck! i agree with you and tim!

  • based on the comments...punk is all inclusive. some softer. some harder. street punk, squat, crust, hardcore, pop, it's all in there. if you take an honest punk band i.e. rancid and put it up to anything that is not punk, you will hopefully hear the difference. music and the message behind it. it's not something that is black and white. tim has it right. he is one of the most punk cats in the world as is rancid. they play slow sometimes, but if you listen to the lyrics...it's punk as f..

  • Tim, if your reading this, your music(rancid op ivy mostly) has helped me through though difficult times in my life and i know FOR A FACT that im not the only person who feels the same way as i do. The man, the poet, the legend...Tim Armstrong

    "When i got the music, i got a place to go."  - "Radio", Rancid

  • just because you have tattoos on your knuckles does not make you punk

  • @deitydhskater Just because you think your an expert does not make you one, asswhipe.. Listen to the whole thing! You're not a cop, either! If i wore diapers and still belived i was a Punk, I'd be one cause' thats what I 'd belive! And THATS what punk's about!

  • Who's punk?? i dont know, im not a cop

  • Im the kid he described except its drums not guitar

  • Punk Rock is a state of mind. Question Everything, Do Your Own Thing and Don't Give A Fuck What The Masses Think!

  • this is one of the most inspiring interviews that i've ever seen. I fucking love TA

  • Whos PUNK the outsiders or not? I think the outsiders are PUNK but do they know what It means.... In the soul and heart!? Love the Rancid, Ramones and Asta Kask.

  • I think their attitude is cool but its a little to soft for my taste, has anyone else noticed that punk now it becomeing "softer" and what was called punk in the 80 is now crust or hardcore?

  • who`s the PUNK I don`t know? I`m not a cop . But I do know I`m a PUNK rocker. I do know there some 16 years old kid like me in high school very shy outsider can fit in

    Is he PUNK rocker? I`m sure he is . Is he had a guitar i hope so or an amp I hope so Is he playing PUNK I bet he`s gonna be PUNK ... ^^

  • i thot this was a song

  • @BarrioPunkRock your talkin about The Exploited they sing a song called punks not dead

  • @thepunker1995 yah i typed it up and figured out

  • skateboarding is a big part of punk i skate and im a punk and i hate it when my friends try to tell me skating isnt punk

  • @cooljoe895 you should take your fuckin shitty ass comment off here... who are you to fuckin say that skateboarding is punk? are you fuckin stupid? god damn dumb ass people like you make me sick

  • @cooljoe895 Wow your an idiot. Watching videos on youtube is punk rock, I guess im a punk....sweet

  • bubububub...I...derivitive...p­luh pluh pluh...punk...penis.

  • This is Punk.........

  • Its not dead. we just need more punk bands to keep it alive obviously (:

  • one of the first punk b ands that indroduced me to punk was green day and ive been made fun of since then for wearin there shirts!Like tim says who gives anyone the right to call out green day for not being punk!!!

  • @MegaFRITTS greenday is as punk as justin beiber, and something tells me you have beiber fever

  • @MegaFRITTS Yeah man Green Day's definitely punk. Maybe not some of their newer stuff but their old stuff like Dookie and whatnot was a big part of revitalizing punk in the 90s.

  • not to be all like oh im the shit but i feel like that 16 year old kid...haha

  • You go outside, you look around at the kids. what u see: kids, with clothes 10 times bigger than their average size, and fighting with others what you hear: robotic musical shit, changed voices. back then: you'd see: punks, all friends with eachother, all having a good time: what you'd hear: music. actual music. Rancid. Rancid, please bring us back in time. fix what's going on now.
  • im 14 punk and proud never got made fun of it tho all the prepie kids and skater kids and metal heads thought it was kool

  • @JamesAnderyourstruly im 14 and i have mohawk just like his and no one fucks with me

  • i'm not exactly new to punk, but somehow i'm new to rancid.....and after seeing this i gained so much respect for this band and especially tim, people always go on about what "real punk" is, i dont personally believe in any of that shit but if i honestly had to decide on what it was, i'd just show people this video....god tim is the coolest

  • only thing that sucks that many punks say they sold out.... but what is selling out, practically playing a backyard gig n getting paid for it or making patches n selling them is selling out....I just say fuck it its music n a way of life, were in the system, as much as we hate it theres no easy way out.

  • @teddypr8de fantastic explanation bro. 

  • Exactly, people who claim to have the authority to judge other people's "punkness" are fucking stupid becuase they are being hypocritical; Fuck All Authoity !

  • The Live Version Of Time Bomb sounds alot better!

    but WELL SAID TIM!

  • This is so true. you are right tim, punk is in the heart. it doesn't matter how you dress. its in the heart man

  • Fucking well said Tim!

  • rancid is fucking amazing. one of the first bands i was listenin to in like 6th grade. sophmore in HS now. but if guys like this keep it up, punk will never die.

  • @wheresuritethumb lol fuck... i was in 6th grade when i first started listenin to them too. now im 26 :) ruby soho days were my first

  • The end interview was from a radio interview in Chicago. I'm pretty sure... I even had it taped on a cassette

  • Comment removed

  • good words from a good man

  • Exactly. In other words, punk isn't an elite, it's anti-elitistic, and punker-than-thou idiots simply don't get it. Much respect to Rancid.

  • Fuckin inspiraton right there

  • all you have to be is yourself...tim a. is correct...who the f could anyone call that except for the person. one thing is for sure, punk rock is alive and well. cheers lint and the rancid punks...oi-timmyOxR

  • great words!!!punk's about heart and not fitting to the rest!!

  • tim fuckin armstrong rocks!!!!!!

    the the fuckin punk attitude that many others wish to have!!!

    UP THE PUNX!!!

  • actualy what he is trying to say is, we cant decide who is punk rocker and who isn't... if u feel like punk rocker then u are, there is nothing more than that... right?? =)

  • @milorad3232 you are so right. i don't dress like a punk rocker...but in my heart it is punk all the way

  • those are some great words spoken from tim

  • He's on speed.
