Rancid - Cheat (Clash Cover)

[crunterstamps]

This is better than the Clash version

[jamesbullet55]

Think Lars would have been better singing this one but Tim's amazing anyway haha, oh, and Joe Strummer is an absolute fucking legend!

[luvstospooge0]

they shouldnt have done this one, pretty sure joe strummer hated it

[jlt31187]

@luvstospooge0 pretty sure you're fuckin wrong beeeeeatch

[posuerbuster]

LET THE CLASH DO IT... CALIFORNIA POSUERS.

[sickboygrasshoper]

@0SourPatchKid0 God hates punks!, And, since Joe Strummer IS god, we have a paradox that has finally disproven God's existence, thank Punk Rock!

[afzoomie67]

@sickboygrasshoper don't feed the trolls..

[afzoomie67]

@sickboygrasshoper that also contradicts itself. If Joe Strummer is god, and WAS punk (sadly, he died.), he hates himself???

[milution]

this sucks so badly compared to The Clash

[Strand92]

@milution Still, a cover is not supposed to be better than the original! It's lika a tribute man.. that comment was completely unnecessary!

[endline1]

@Strand92 rancids cover of stickin in my eye was brilliant. also the clash's cover of police and theives is better than the original

[RussianBear05]

@milution

agreed

[telassso]

"good man" Joe Strummer

[jnkacme]

nobody can cover the clash..

[YIKUMGD]

i love tim and joe sooo much, they look great together too :)

[Julle7Julius]

Joe Strummer was a good person, a fair person.

[PunkWolf1984]

Great cover... then again you can never go wrong covering THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS

(Joe Strummer isnt dead; hes just taking a break from all the shit in the world)

[Malombado]

The clash is better than Beatles or Rolling Stone, The Clash is for me, The BEST BAND OF THE WORLD! They maked the beautiful songs to this world

[wirebead]

I don't know why, but i've always felt this tim's vocal similarity to joe strummer was WAY more sincere amd genuine than that of green day's billy joe.

[Max17121994]

Joe strummer lives in our hearts

[anarchist63]

my 2 favourite bands with dropkick murphys

[x3milli]

tim is god!!

[respatsde]

this sounds so bad.....

[KEKOLUL]

awesome bass line

[Wrapped4]

Strummer is not dead until his legacy survives.

[STPVH1]

Rancid fucking suck donkey cock. Operation Ivy were better.

[AntiFacistaction69]

Long Live Rancid and clash!

R.I.P. Joe Strummer! Sham69

[SkaPunk026]

check out tim's voice when he was in Shaken 69.... search for Rudy, Rudy

[0SourPatchKid0]

Joe Strummer is god & Tim Armstrong is his son jesus christ

[youspacebook]

@0SourPatchKid0 Actually, Tim Armstrong is a choirboy.

[jimrulz89]

@0SourPatchKid0 stfu



[jasall18]

The clash and Rancid are geat!

[posuerbuster]

Let The Clash do it California Posuers.

[adamraccoon]

Hey, Shut the fuck up, if you don't like it why are you commenting? Rancid may have sold out, but they have one of the best background that spawned them. Rancid isn't just another band, Rancid was formed because tim was addicted to alcohol and Heroin so fuck off.

[lazfili]

FUck you Rancid never sold out I fucking hate those two words. Get your shit striaght.

[posuerbuster]

@adamraccoon Who cares if the spoiled cunt was a junkie, this is like watching Sha Na Na of punk. It's a cheap copy... it sure as hell isn't the Clash!

[sk8erboi4321]

my moms a alcoholic.hasnt picked up a beer in 12 years im proud of her because of that.now she needs to quit smoking lol

[Kobain1124]

well yeah he intentionally slurs his voice a TINY bit, but it has alot to do with his alcoholism and the various drugs he's taken over the years...also he has a slight speech impediment (ive heard im not 100% sure)

[oldphoque]

Tim did state his father was an alcoholic and resented it. Doesn`t mean he picked up where his dad left off. Most alcoholics with Tims degree of sucess would have been dead by now . I`m sure Tim may get his drunk on occasionally, but don`t assume anything. I`ve never heard or read anything about Tim in any rehab situation or band fiascos due to drugs or alcohol.

[Kobain1124]

well u havent read enough then, he's not some stupid celebrity who goes to rehab, and the reason rancid was started was a last ditch effort of matts to get tim off booze and heroin ive read on many times from many reliable sources

[oldphoque]

Well, I guess it is what it is. I just never heard any such details. I listened to Lars on Fungus religiously and he never uncovered any of Tim`s dirt, which is cool. I did see an interview of Tim talking about his home life growing up. Thnx!

[Kobain1124]

sweet! hey could u send me those two vids they sound cool

[oldphoque]

I don`t have a video to send. I just came across it here one day. I couldn`t tell you if I was surfing Tim, Rancid, Transplants or Distillers. I just found it. Sorry bud. I do think it was a Transplants interview but not certain.

[iggytretiak]

Joe...

[WindspittingPunks]

RIP Joe, Original Gangster and Punk Rock warlord, A hero lost but never forgotten, I love you Joe.

[wtfjunkie]

Well Rancid is keeping punk alive, well thats good but to bad that the punk that i love is dead, to be onest tim is a great man but wil never be greater then Joe

[HOBOsnake]

I agree and I actually love tim and rancid it's a great cover, just not nearly as great as the original

[Einkaufstuete]

Give 'em the boot, dude

[justlikeataris]

rancid looking like rudeboys :)

R.I.P Strummer!

[EMergOfficial]

i know ive never seen this pic before its sick! I've never herd the song before either actually!

The Clash are the ones who gave birth to punk

and Rancid kept it alive!

[jpzeitlin]

kay somebody answer my question:

joe points at himself when he says original gangster and at tim when he says punk rock warlord. but get this, i thought joe' nickname was punk rock warlord and not tim's... and ive never heard either of them be called original gangster???? can anyone explain

[goodnameishere]

Joe probably learned the Original Gangster thing in NY and passed his "name" on to Tim? Could explain it...

[jpzeitlin]

maybe thats the most logical explanation anyones come up with..... i guess we gotta have someone ask tim.... thatd be pretty cool

i miss Joe. Rest In Peace.

[goodnameishere]

Yeah, I was only 6 when he died and I didn't even know about The Clash. I had to ask mum why she was crying

[xAxiom720x]

its not an accent its an impediment from being an alcoholic when he was younger

this is pretty cool, i never knew they did this.

[LostPilgram]

yeah it is an impediment

[Run4TheShadows]

Idk man, Tim talked like that in Basic Radio, Op Ivy, and Downfall as well (all of which came before Rancid). I think he just talks that way

[xAxiom720x]

back then it wasnt as pronounced as it is now. thats for sure

[Run4TheShadows]

Yea but as with anyone your voice changes as you get older, so from Basic Radio in 1986 Tim was about 20, then to Rancid in 2008 when I saw him last, he's now in his 40's.  It's a cool voice either way

[SmashBandicoot22]

Tim sings breifly on some Op Ivy songs, I think hes the guy talking at the start of Unity. His voice has got deeper with age but hes always had the slur to his voice, probally inspired from Joe Strummer and Joey Ramone. PUNK = FREEDOM!

[charlelie]

tim's voice on this track is probably natural, but on some tracks (listen to life won't wait) i'm sure he exagerates it a little bit.

[RaNciDalLdaY]

RIP joe stummer we can never find sum1 like you

and tim armstrong one word SEXYY!! and luv that guys accent <3

See ya in the pit...

[PunkInTheBox]

man! that's so cool that tim gotta meet joe. hell, that would be the coolest thing ever!

[lexelement]

That's so fresh that they got Joe Strummer to do that... too cool.

[mucks21]

the beginning clip is from "Give 'em the boot" Joe and the mescelaros played on it,.

RIP Joe - They'll never be another like you.

[00Indy]

very good, not as good as the clash though but very good

[stalwart101]

i like the ending riff in both versions very gud....hope rancid last another few years armstrong is a legend

[SdingSdong]

Saint Joe

[curroprr]

i'm not specially fan of Rancid. also i don't hate them. but i think this is really good cover, makes me feel in the clash way. i like it. thanks.

[banistvan]

Legnagyobb királyság : Ramones , Clash, Toy Dolls, Rancid!

[bbrockz22]

Meggyet értek...na jó, mondjuk a toy Dolls nem jön be...XDde mondjuk 1 Time Again:Dna, az odabasz:)...and the song is great, thank ya for posting it:)

[saintrancidmary]

Nice intro, from GiveEm The Boot, nice made that you put this - it really fits. And the song is great :D Tim sings cool in this one. A great cover of the great band and played by another great band =)

[emsemsemsss]

I love the clash and I love Rancid

[JCR101393]

the clash were so amazing

and rancid did a good job covering this song

[Zepplin805]

amazing
