He also goes by Tim Timebomb. He has an amazing acoustic. Nearly all of Rancid's catalog. My favorite is when he covers Springsteen's I'm Goin Down. Wonderful.
I love Tim Armstrong. I love his music. I like.. I like his story telling, i think he's a great lyrcist. His lyrics are like high art, you know what i mean? One of the best!
this is meta singing. You couldn't get away with this level of non-singing if everyone else had not come before. I enjoy it, but basically, anyone can sing this poorly. Just try it.
My respect for him skyrocketed when I saw this cover.. Was already a fan but DAMN, that’s what a cover is all about. I’m definitely keeping an eye out for one of those signature guitars. It chugs hard
It's 3:51 am. I'm drunk. And I'm watching this video. I love Johnnys music and I love opp ivy and rancid!! This video Is bad ass!! I just fuckin love music. I've been feeling like shit this whole week but music like this always lifts my spirit up!!
When I first heard Big River I always thought it sounded like a punk rock song. To hear Tim Armstrong gush over Johnny Cash confirms it even more. Johnny was a man of the people. Doing punk rock before it came into being.
it's called 'chucking', on bar chords you can mute the strings by taking the pressure off the frets slightly, on open chords the best way to do it is use the same part of your hand as you would when palm muting to mute them, at the same time strum, it's all one motion and to start with it'll need to be a strong hit, takes a bit of practice to get a decent chuck out of open chords. it's important to note that you dont want your hand too close to the bridge or you'll more of a palm mute sound.
Scott young was it the same one that had been housed at hard rock cafe in Orlando....I have a picture of it....I wanted to steal it but I'm happy where it ended up
you can also do a kind of hyrbid with open chords the same way you'd do bar chords so that open strings still sound but you've muted the fretted strings. it's good for keeping the rhythm going and for the most part this is what tim is doing
...take that woman to New Orleans... -To New Orleans. Love when Tim tosses these in . Sounds like a mistake. Its actually one of the fun elements of his style. rhyming New York City with New York City. Is something only this man can pull off 7 days a week..
I'm 65 and just stumbled across this cat. I can't get enough of him. I've listened to this probably 20 times since I first found it. You go boy.

@@markwiley1211 I don't think know who Tim Armstrong is. He IS the people before.
He's talented artist, punk rock musician and a poet
The man is a genius. Love all his music. So versatile and talented over many genres.
Tim Armstrong is a punk rock god!!!
Hell yeah
Ive been listening to Rancid since 93 and this is the first time I've ever heard Tim Armstrong speak!!
Tim Armstrong is my Generations Greatest Musician, that people will talk about for years after he is gone.

johnny cash + tim armstrong = amazing
I didn't think I could love his voice more but it's perfect for that song
this is more than more than cover, more than music, this is soul
I have never been able to get over this cover. Tim did this justice and then some.
Tim Armstrong and the grateful dead. Two best "big river" covers.
so much love for this man

Been a long time rancid/Tim fan, love the way he dose this song
Everything this man touches is gold
Met her in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Love Johnny, love Tim.
What an original dude Tim. Proud of you man, hope you're doing good bro.
I HAVE NO WORDS.
This is a lot better than I was expecting when reading description
Tim is already a. Better country musician than any of todays could country musicians
I keep coming back to this video. Tim is my guitar hero Johnny cash was my grandpas
i find this shit so amazing ! love it !
glad to see he is still going strong
You mean he's still going ARM-strong :D
Einridii haha pun pun pun *snaps fingers*
Tim's voice is so unique. It's like he's not even really trying to "sing" yet it still sounds good wtf!?
Lou Reed is similar. Both sung in a more traditional way when they were younger.
He has a speech problem and its controversial people say its drugs. I have always said its a lisp. He has had it since they called him lint. ]
I have no word for how happy this preformance made me. God Damn, this man is great. :)
Tim should do some delta blues stuff, he has the voice for it.
I love this guy, I have a hellcat tim armstrong guitar coming in the mail... I just hope I can learn to play a fraction as good as tim
Don’t worry about trying to play as good as Tim. Play as HONEST as Tim.
so nice to see tim playin again rather then just whippin his guitar around on stage n singing, and great cover as well
Amazing artist N amazing song
not a bad cover, Tim Armstrong is great at everything he does!
When I first heard Big River I always thought it sounded like a punk rock song. To hear Tim Armstrong gush over Johnny Cash confirms it even more. Johnny was a man of the people. Doing punk rock before it came into being.

"his lyrics are like high art" - Tim.. Tim/Rancid/ect fans; "you too tim" also Tim fans "can you do Junkie Man acoustic"??
Tim Timebomb need I say more. Best of the Best.
The only time I can imitate Tim's voice is the morning with a crazy headache after a crazy party.
Johnnny Cash whooooaa!!!!
fucking awesome! thanks tim for all...see u italy on 21 july
Fucking awesome.

I love JONNY cash & Tim! This is great!!!!
Amen

Love when Tim tosses these in . Sounds like a mistake. Its actually one of the fun elements of his style. rhyming New York City with New York City. Is something only this man can pull off 7 days a week..
Does anyone know how Tim armstrong plays this?
That’s how it’s done
I’m getting that guitar today, so sexy.
