"I, Pessimist" by Alkaline Trio featuring Tim McIlrath, from the new album 'My Shame Is True,' out now! Order at www.epitaphstor... Facebook - / alkalinetrio Twitter - / alkaline_trio
This is the very first Alkaline Trio song I remember ever hearing. I've been hooked ever since. Also: this song is way too good to only be 2 minutes long.
It makes a good collaboration between two great bands from a great town. Nothing less nothing more. Its a damn good collaboration too. Dan and Tims voices compliment each other perfectly. Its exactly what you think they'd sound like if they put out a song...
Remains is a compilation of B sides from all their albums, so I think it gives the best overview of the band... It also has some of their best songs on it, songs that weren't made to 'fit an album.' That's where I started! :)
If this new material starts to grow on you, you should take a look back at their older stuff. If you don't like it, heck, it never hurts to understand where a band came from. But it's been my personal experience that discovering a band late in their career usually unveils a gold mine of great music.
The Revival Tour doesn't do any studio recordings that I know of. You'd have to catch them playing live if they come near you. They have done a US tour and have had a European leg as well. If you can't see them live. Check their website, or Itunes, they put out an album featuring all the artists. I only know of one of these albums though. Came out very recently from the 2012 tour. Chuck Ragan also has a vinyl and digital download for the European tour a few years back with Sam Russo and others.
When I saw this was out, I got excited since I love both bands....then I saw all the arguments over if they're still any good or not...I love all their stuff, listen to the changes in sound and style, but it's still very enjoyable. Especially this song.
Matt Skiba and Tim McIlrath are the closest things to gods that an atheist like me can worship. And I've met Tim too. In this day and age, it's rare that anyone will take half an hour just to sit down and have a chat with a random fan, but Tim would, and has. Why so much hate, people?
I've recorded in the same room they are in. Too freakin' cool! I record at the Blasting Room quite often, actually. And used part of Rise Against's kit once.

alkaline trio + rise against = mind blown
Tim mcilrath and alkaline trio - BEST SONG EVER
tim is a legend
If they made an entire album with Tim doing vocals, I'd be fine with that.
Kill me that second
Petition for RA/Trio split record
Petition for RA/Trio split record
When I realized it was him I was like 😮! I love this song so much now!!
The best of Chicago in one song, amazing
Both Dan and Matt have their own style, I don't think one is better than the other. I love their mixture
It makes me glad that there are some sensible Alkaline Trio fans.
Alkaline Trio, (Both Dan and Matt) hasn't once made a song that I didn't love! Can't wait for this album to come out!
Words cannot describe the intensity of the hardon this track gives me.
This is the very first Alkaline Trio song I remember ever hearing. I've been hooked ever since.
Also: this song is way too good to only be 2 minutes long.
I was lucky enough to have an irc buddy show me alka3 in 199x ! So good!
you make me feel amazingly old, but happy for the future... I hate you, but thank you
Rise Against The Trio
AK3 and Tim in one song, my life is here by complete.
Alk Trio and Rise are my favorite bands for sure
wtffffff???? how am i just hearing this now???? sick collab!!!
It makes a good collaboration between two great bands from a great town. Nothing less nothing more. Its a damn good collaboration too. Dan and Tims voices compliment each other perfectly. Its exactly what you think they'd sound like if they put out a song...
I love Chicago punk bands
This song will make the album worth it.
it's awesome that Alkaline returned the favor and invited Tim to do guest vocals!
Both of these bands are why I write punk rock
How did I miss this miracle?
HELL YEAH!! TIM AND ALKALINE TRIO TOGETHER!!!
Y'all need a medal
Rise Against's Tim McIlrath and Alkaline Trio in the same video FQPIFJIWFJAWFJF perfection!
2024!
My head has exploded from the awesomeness of Tim McIlrath on a Alkaline Trio song.
Rise Against
Friends, it was just AWESOME. Matt, Dan, Tim and Derek are BEST, I damn respect their!!!
thanks for saying that about the only reason i consider this song the song of the year
just checked out this album for the first time and didn't know Tim featured on it… Lost my shit!
Every album they have period. I mean seriously.
Thank you, Good Mourning is seriously underrated.
All my dreams have come true in this singular song. Mind is blown.
impatiently awaiting the next UK tour.
Remains is a compilation of B sides from all their albums, so I think it gives the best overview of the band... It also has some of their best songs on it, songs that weren't made to 'fit an album.' That's where I started! :)
Just one of the best bangers in a long like of ALK3 bangers. Add Tim and this is easily one of my favorite Trio songs.
Sweet new trio FTW
best song so far tim and dan=awesome combo
Gotta love almost everything Epitaph puts out
agreed. Me and Denver got me hooked.
OMG i didn't know that Tim was here until i listened to this song, AWESOME, my 2 favorite post-punk bands
so much energy... every time i hear it.
Tim needs to do a whole album with Alkaline Trio.
Amazing and unexpected combo
Great combination

I like it when the guy sings "how long til I crash" that's neat
holy shit! alk with tim great mix boyz
CO-CO-CO-CO-COMBO BREAKER!!!!! Best two groups ever! perfect combination!
Never any worries with Dan songs, they are always amazing.

I'm digging this.
Two of my all time favorites! Can you guys please tour together again?!
I came here for Tim, but now I think I need to listen to Alkaline Trio more. Suggestions on where to start?

Tim & Rise Against
Start at the beginning with Goddamnit, and end with there new album when its released. Its all great.
ahhh that's why! Yeah I can't wait for april 2nd!! Excited to see what other surprises are hiding on the album!
They still got it! :D cant wait to see them live yet again
I like that Tim had more than just background vocals on this song than what Matt had on Rise Against's song.
Loooooooove the new album, this song is my favorite on the album. They totally redeemed themselves
Great tune but Remains is my favorite trio album
I've recorded in the same room they are in. Too freakin' cool! I record at the Blasting Room quite often, actually. And used part of Rise Against's kit once.
yes! good call.
I'm so glad I bought this album. This is my favorite band of all time.
I cannot wait for the album. This will be fantastic.
