- Rancid were formed in 1991 by San Francisco Bay Area punk scenesters Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman. Lifelong friends and longtime punk fans, the two grew up together in the small working class town of Albany near Berkeley, they'd also played together in the legendary ska punk band Operation Ivy, Armstrong as Lint and Freeman as Matt McCall. After Op Ivy disbanded in 1989, Armstrong and Freeman spent a few weeks in the ska punk outfit Dance Hall Crashers, as well as Downfall, Freeman later briefly joined the hardcore band MDC. Meanwhile, Armstrong was waging a battle with alcoholism, and to help keep his friend occupied, Freeman suggested they escape their day jobs by forming a new band, which became Rancid. The duo added drummer Brett Reed, Armstrong's roommate and a familiar presence on the Gilman Street scene where Operation Ivy had cut their teeth. Just a couple of months later, Rancid were performing live around the area and in 1992 they released a five song debut EP on Lookout Records.
The EP caught the attention of Epitaph Records founder Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz, and Epitaph signed Rancid to a highly favorable contract guaranteeing the group a generous amount of creative control. The band's eponymously titled debut full length album arrived in 1993, pursuing an up tempo hardcore skatepunk style with few hints of early British punk. Rancid had been seeking a second guitarist, and Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong even played live with the group at one show. They pursued Lars Frederiksen, a Bay Area resident who'd joined a later incarnation of UK Subs and was performing with the band Slip, Frederiksen initially declined Rancid's invitation to join, but when Slip disbanded, he quickly changed his mind and came along on Rancid's first tour. Frederiksen made his recording debut on the early 1994 EP Radio Radio Radio, a side dalliance on Fat Wreck Chords. Released later that year, Let's Go was the album that made Rancid's name in the punk underground. It marked the beginnings of their fascination with the 1977 era London punk scene, particularly the Clash, and it also provided their first widespread exposure when MTV picked up on the video for the single Salvation. Let's Go quickly went gold, and with the breakout mainstream success of Green Day and the Offspring that year, major label interest in Rancid quickly escalated into a full fledged bidding war. Ultimately, Rancid decided that no major could offer them the level of decision making power that Epitaph had given them, and stayed right where they were.

Let's Go and And Out Come the Wolves are two of my favorite albums to this day, just something about their sound that really does it for me.
To this day.
Agreed
Same here! I listen to at least one Rancid song a day and have no plans to stop. I want some Rancid playing for my Memorial. My son will honor my request.
For me their best albums are Let’s Go, AOCTW, and Life Won’t Wait.
Life won't wait is great but takes quite a few listens.
Rancid was such a major part of my teens
Same man
Rancid is still part of my daily life. I was given a Skeletim figure for Mother's Day this year. Screw flowers, give me the TA figurine I told my son. And I'm 63.
@@donnazasgoat2274 that's cool. I had to look it up. There's a couple versions, but one resembles more of Lars lol
@@TingTingalingy all the ones I’m seeing have Gretch style guitars. I think they’re all Tim’s, unfortunately.
The bass player is absolutely KILLER
Best in the biz
@@iarthurpeterson Not just the best in punk, but in all of rock / metal.
Yeah. Matty is easily one of the best. Maxwell Murders is a good showcase of Matt-bass
Freeeeeeeeeeman!
Damn right.
Right up there with entwistle, claypool & wooten that is!! 🔥🤘🏽
Rancid's first 5 albums are simply the best on the planet! Shoutout to all my fellow Rancid punks!
Still love rancid even at my age of 38!
I’m 44 and still loving them hehe
Remember getting drunk while listening to out come the wolves back in the 90s as a teenager, still listen to it to this day, totally underated punk album and band!
Underrated? They were one of the biggest band of the 90's.
@@DB-gf4bm I'm from the UK they are not very well known over here.
@@andyculf8887 Ahh..fair enough.
And Out Come the Wolves was rated the best punk rock album of all time.
I'm from Russia, and little is known about them either, and when you want to add music in some application, you need to search for their songs for a very long time ((
I saw rancid for the first time in 06 at the trocadero theatre in Philly. They played 2 nights back to back. I was lucky enough to get the setlist handed to me & I still have it!
Sweet
Yessss, we need a full loaded documentary on RANCID! One of my fave bands then and now… Viva Rancid!
This is my FAVORITE punk band EVER. This was my youth. I grew up in the 90s as a teen and RANCID was my soundtrack for the greatest years of my life. I know The Clash ,Sex Pistols and Ramones started it but RANCID brought punk to the 90s and perfected it. I will forever be grateful for the great music and great times. I love ALL of you out there. Be well be cool and for gods sake be good to each other out there.
lets go is one of the best punk albums ever
Rancid will always be my favorite punk band.
As a little punk growing up in a small country cattle town, when I discovered Rancid and started blasting them on the stezza the rednecks hated me more 🤣🤣🤣 Fucking glorious!!!
I do it the same way. They really hate it. That just makes it all that much better. Rancid are the opposite of redneck culture.
Rancid is a staple in my high school years. My top 3 favorite bands include them, NOFX and The Suicide Machines.. you can say if there was no Operation Ivy, there'd be no Rancid.. Op Ivy is IMO the most influential punk bands of all time.. you can say that The Ramones and The Sex Pistols were the Godfather's of punk but Operation Ivy brought punk to the masses.. influencing bands like The Suicide Machines, Bad Religion, NOFX, Green Day, Pennywise, The Offspring, Blink 182 etc.. even Billie Joe Armstrong thanked Tim and Op Ivy in their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.. Tim Armstrong, Matt Freeman, Jesse Michaels and Dave Mello were the Godfather's of Ska Punk.
Bad Religion infuenced by Op Ivy?...Bad Religion has been around since 1980...try again
@@dRumonster .. I didn't say that. If you read it better, I clearly stated that" Op Ivy brought punk to the masses, influencing bands like TSM, Bad Religion "etc.. I know my punk rock, next time just read a little slower before making a response. Greg Gaffin even stated that Jesse Michaels and Tim Armstrong were the pioneers in the East Bay punk movement especially the Gilmore Project where Op Ivy, Green Day, NOFX Rancid got their start
@@andrewgrignon826okay, so by saying that I bet you meant to say "influential"...My reading comprehension is just fine, you need to brush up on your vocabulary.
Pioneers indeed...Apparently, you've never heard of Dead Kennedys, Flipper, Fang, Chrome, The Dils and Crime...even Texas transplants The Stains (MDC) and D.R.I...S.F. Punk Rock as you well know, didn't start with Lookout or Epitaph Records they just milked the sacred cow and appears to be your generation's shit.
Sublime Bradley Nowell had this vision mixes skate surf reggae ska upstrokes 83 and up all on his own label skunk records with Miquel
I saw them play twice in El Paso Texas in the early to mid 90s. They put on a great show.
As a bassist, Matt Freeman has always been my bass hero.
same!! him and klaus floride from DK changed the way I play bass. just minus the pick. 😊
Rancid was one of my go to bands I was not in to drugs but ya man just taking bus's getting beat down just to get up and fight some more now I'm in a better boat then those who beat me down lmao and I'm laughing but they still are one of my go to
My first favorite punk band.
Rancid self titled and Let's go are my faves
Life Won't Wait is their best album in my opinion.
No mention of Dicky Barrett on the Life Wont Wait segment?!?
And still make amazing music
First album when 3 piece punk rock perfection hard to top for them after that still like wot came after but that first one FN classic peace and love lloydy
PS I could say that about alote of epitaph bands most put out really killer first records and we'll the next one's were good but not as good
Is this video just a read of their wiki? I haven’t learned anything new about rancid since I found them on Beavis and butthead when I was a kid
Right? A true deep dive would have gone into what was happening post 2000 which lead to Indestructible on a whole. They're like "highly personal album" and just completely bypassing what was even "highly personal" about it. Weak ass journalism.
@@iarthurpeterson dude… I’ve been trying to find out more about this group Since nihilism was on beavis and butthead. I even bought a official bootleg called maximum rancid that was basically this video for the year 2000.
"BEEN RUNNIN' MY WHOLE LIFE...AND...I'M STILL RUNNIN'!
Did I miss something about talking about his alcoholism? I use to date him during his height of success for around 6 months. I had my own career and he had his. He usually declined on all alcohol, but on an occasion sipped ONLY one beer. He stated he's alcoholic and out of control if chooses to drink.... Therefore rarely drank and if did, only nursed a single beer.
This was back in mid 90's.
Edit PS .... He HATES it when bartender and fans randomly show up with drinks.
Don't do it!
Don't touch him!
Especially his hair!
Don't ask for an autograph, but he's more giving now.
If he wants a drink.... He'll order one for himself.
I remember when Let's Go came out. I was like: "Fuck yeah! Punk is back!"
Tim's response to why they stayed with Epi and Brett... "Hes my friend.... and I trust him" which I have to say aloud to get his accent into it!
Madonna even sent Nudes to try and get them to Maverick
I suppose it was different back then, but anybody can just search "Madonna bush" these days even without a pending contract :)
East Bay Punx for life!!!!
what do you mean by "untold"? because that here has been narrated and recounted over and over
Frisco punks didn't want Oakland punks ruining our scene
Never seen them at the mab or the VATS I guess they stayed in East Bay
I just have to know, that's iggy pop's chin in the thumb nail right?
Why the computer video voice?
Life Won't Wait is my all time favorite album but I loved every album they made up to indestructible. After that I mostly lost interest.
More like Discography?
Scenesters is the best way to describe these posers
Rancid might be the best Punk Band in the World (right now)
I didnt understand the alcoholism clickbait in this one.Why would you portrait him like that,if you want it to do a bio for the band
If Tim was battling alcohol addiction, he couldn't have been in the right frame of mind. When he started dating Brody Dalle! For those who don't understand the dark struggle of addiction then, they shouldn't judge! I'm not making excuses for him, but a punk rocker with alcohol issues has most likely been through a fair share of trauma in his childhood. What caused his alcohol addiction!? What sent him down that path? And could he have been in a clear light frame of mind? He's human, and not all humans particularly humans battling addiction! Are going to see thing's from a bigger, and clearer perspective. His younger life set him on a path mental health is a serious thing, and can get very dark for anyone suffering! Sure I don't agree with his choice of dating at the time, but we've all been there. That battle the loneliness, and the dark clouds that follow stopping all from thinking clearly we've all done things we regret for all we know he could have huge regrets about dating brody, and holds a lots of shame, guilt and disappointment in himself for it which again is not easy for someone to go through! To anyone who doesn't understand what it's like going through trauma, addiction, regret, and life changing experiences that can be devastating! Go get an education in life itself, and actually see from your own experiences in hardship that just about anyone can make mistakes before you pass judgement, and judge yourself for the shit you have done it's not easy living with a past full of regret, and heartache! People looking at you like shit in the street half the time they have done something in their past they won't admit. That will get them, the same stinking looks!
Did they ever share what their day jobs where?
Heroin
Early stuff is fantastic
Rancid 🏴☠️🤘🇦🇺
So tim has downs or something right?
0:48 this is billy joe from green day and right of scream ??
Billie Joe Armstrong was Op Ivy's biggest fan. He even thanked Op Ivy in Green Day's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Tim Armstrong wanted Billie Joe to be Rancid's 2nd guitarist but Billie Joe declined cause he saw the potential in Green Day.
Weird AI voice generation on this one
Yeah, made it difficult to sit through
Rancid 👍 turtleJr ( indonesia punk band ) 👍
AI shouldn't make mini docs. Jus sayin.
Scenesters!?!?
Im sorry!!! When ur half of gawddamn OP IVY... it's the drummers 1st band and then they get a guy from UK SUBS....
That's just the universe aligning as it should!
Tim Timebomb BEAT the bottle and who knows what else! Lars had some demon and slayed em!!
For Matt and Brett!! I'm sure the PUNK life had then in stuff but not fall in
Gilman st
RANCID 2000 compared to GREEN DAY's WARNING!
I bought warning before because it had come out 1st. As soon as I got the RANCID LP (which I heard POISON on a punk o rama) I was
THANK GAWD THEY DIDNT PUNK OUT!!!!
I've went back and tried listen to warning even drinking n blazing... it's still just bland muck.
Yeah I had that comp; that song was so cool~
Poison is probably my favorite Rancid album
Everyone knew this and crack and blow.
Didnt he date a 16 year old and was 30.
Tim and Matt were RACID
By far the worst sausage party alive!
I heard they were elite AA ppl
Lol
wikipedia documentary
Tim didn't have issues with booze after operation ivy, he was shooting heroin
Scenesters, lol
Sounds like this was narrated by an android.
AI crap.
The fuck is that voice?
The Most non punk band ever
Bah, they always sucked. Formulaic to the max, basic, underwhelming.
The newer kids in the scene liked it, its starter-type punk.
Back then scene 'veterans' supported terrific bands like circus lupus, ink and dagger, shipping news, Jesus Lizard, born against etc...
there's always gotta be one. Nice name dropping. I know it's so far beneath you, but you really need to listen to I Was There by LCD Soundsystem and re-evaluate. Nobody thinks you're cool, they just think you're elitist. Gatekeeping in the punk world is really laughable, grow up.
So why are you here then?
🙄
I bet you're a blast at parties 🙄
@@jarrodb4867 a blast at parties?
What am I 18yrs old? Shut up, dork.
In 2000 Rancid & Green Day put out their last good albums .
Why has Armstrong got a feed bag strapped to his face?
Slow dad rock.
