[kenzadelphia]

This song still gets me pumped. never gets old. Simple and brilliant.

[endersshadowa]

@goddessofchaos666 most people really havent because most people listen to the incessant static that is commercial radio and music tv

[endersshadowa]

favorites still healthy body, that track is punk as scum fuck.

[MrSatanicchicken]

[MrSoto55]

@itsmarshmallowz Not entirely its more ska punk then anything

[GoddessofChaos666]

Everyone knows about em!

[devinarney]

why is this band so fucking sick but no one really knows about them? to be honest its better that way.

[fatty2266]

just getting to this but damn do i wish i was alive back then!!!

[AddictedToTheOi138]

damn matt was pretty skinny back then, and no they never became trendy, rancid along with other projects the guys done themselves were truthful, they were being true withselves, making their music, which is why they progressed more over the years.

[koen0th]

this song makes me want to rob a bank with a tommy gun

[Tylervstheworld]

god as a musician these guys inspire me... i havent uploaded any of my punk songs, but these guys make me want to show the world how great punk really is.. i do have one of my songs uploaded... punx are welcome to listen to it but warning, you might think its pussy shit, cause i feel the same way when i hear guys play alternitive rock.

[michael2490]

[ppppppka]

BANKSHOOOOT!

[bacon767]

[Gullatine5]

@bacon767 its ska actually

[Howsoonisnow2009]

Wow they played with Gwar LOL

[ALLEXXX321]

operation ivy and sublime wouldve been an awesome gig

[blahblahblah8478]

@ALLEXXX321 Thats my dream. Sadly it will never happen. R.I.P Brad Nowell and R.I.P Operation Ivy.

[ALLEXXX321]

@blahblahblah8478 yeah i don't really like sublimes new singer 

[blahblahblah8478]

@ALLEXXX321 Romes no Brad but hes ok. They still got Eric Wilsons kickass bass lines.

[chickvick5]

@blahblahblah8478 Yeah, but you can never go wrong with the classics

[pilotbowman]

Favourite Op Ivy Song! Just puts me in a good mood!

[ncbloom]

EAST BAY BITCHES !!!!!! if you dont know , now you know .

[jamacaman14]

Great pictures. I would have loved to know these guys those many years ago.

[DizzyRasta]

@PunkInTheBox if only Operation Ivy was still alive today :(

and if only Punk was as famou as it deserves to be!

look at all the shit kids think is music these days!

hip hop.. techno... rap...

no music whatsoever..

music Punk, Rock, Classic, Ska, Metal, anything but hiphop and rap!!

BRING PUNK BACK!

[hokipoki93]

@DizzyRasta you should know that OI has also influences of rap^^

[papason4041]

@DizzyRasta punk cant die, so long as there are people and bands then its just as alive as ever

[fluffynugget13]

@DizzyRasta not all hip-hop and rap sucks, but just like most genres of music it only takes $ to make artist sell out and give up on making truly great music. We're overdue for the next iteration of true punk or counterculture music.

[Element4078]

great

[acitonj]

lol Matt Freeman rocked the v-neck shirt 20 years before they became trendy :P

[HAYDS510]

@acitonj thats right so keep an eye on black collar'd shirts without the collar popped like a douche in the near future.

[zenki8]

fucking awesome!!!!

[nissx240]

some great old photos here. nice!

[ScUMFcK]

tim armstrong was pretty young in this band

[PunkInTheBox]

thank you captain obvious. haha

[hermtheworm1337]

@PunkInTheBox LOL

[JMort95]

@PunkInTheBox he wasnt even that young, jesse michaels was 18,

[Calabre671]

@PunkInTheBox don't you mean Catherine Obvious?

[popsjustpops]

You know something you fuckin punk ass fuck hole??? You're alright -_-

[boak86]

@ScUMFcK let me translate this for everyone: "man that guy was really young in that band he was in before he was in that band he was in when he was older"

[bikeninja]

@ScUMFcK Actually, him and Matt Freeman are older than they look. Operation Ivy was in existed from 87-89 (just listen to the lyrics of Rancid's "Journey to the End of the East Bay). Tim was born in 1965, and Matt in 1966, so Tim was 22 when this band started and Matt 21. I thought they were only like 16 or 17 when in Op Ivy.

[jjdealer]

@bikeninja

Thats what you get for thinking

[513986916]

@ScUMFcK No shit???

[weimer495]

@ScUMFcK early 20s
