And Matt Freeman is one of the most under rated bass players in rock and definitely the most talented bass player to end up playing punk rock. I love punk and Matt's almost too talented for the style.
The song is about a musician who is always touring and constantly leaving for some random city and leaving his girl behind ("destination unknown"), and the constant separation is killing the feeling they had, and she feels that the music has been put before her, while HE feels like she doesn't understand what his life is like. So she (Ruby Soho) feels like he is just letting her fade away, and by the end of the song, she accepts what seems like the inevitable and finally decides it's time to peace out. Great classic punk song.
@@TheMongooliShow if you look at the writing credits Matt Freeman also helped write that song. But yeah it's about the lose because of touring and soho is an area in new york they call soho street so he left her behind in soho new york.
Matt is amazing for Punk, I'm not sure I'd put him up with the technical wizards like Vic Wooten and Les Claypool, not sure he could play their chops but what he adds to Rancid is pure gold. He really makes them more than just another punk/ska band with his dynamic walking bass lines.
Rancid is a great 90's band, one of my favorites. I was surprised to see you guys react to them, though. But either way, I'd like to see you react to more of their stuff & to more punk bands.
There’s a Pro Wrestler in AEW who goes by Ruby Soho because the member of Rancid who wrote the song is a wrestling fan and gave her the name and song for her entrance. she used to be known as Ruby Riott in WWE and when she was let go from that promotion she needed to get a new name. Very cute video of the moment here ruclips.net/video/zQ1kxuZWr6k/видео.html Edited to corect the person who cleared the name for her
lars isn't the lead singer. he sings lead on some songs but the primary singer in rancid is tim. tim is singing lead on ruby soho and lars is the primary voice on the chorus.
@143 Speedball did you watch the video I linked because it literaly happens in that video of a vlog. I apologise that I got the members of Rancid mixed up but it did happen
Rancid has been one of my favorite bands ever !.. three guys singing in different way, all hursh voices !.. check Hooligans, Fall Back Down or Radio 📻 song 🎵 !..
He was the guitarist and back up vocal for the best band of the 80’s. Operation Ivy. The same, amazing bass player! Please check out Op Ivy! Amazing lyrics for a bunch of teenagers! Common Rider - Classics of Love
Wife here..Yes..Brad very interesting voice..And Yes Lex..Punch!!..Puts me in the mind of the British Punk sound..(Billy Idol)..(The Clash)..Thanks again for your awesome insight!
My absolute favorite Rancid song. My cousin had a Tim-esque mohawk back in the 90s, and he grew up in Missouri. I remember visiting the Gateway Arch and people kept stopping us, asking to take his picture. Sadly, he wasn’t allowed to wear it to his mom’s wedding. At least I was able to wear my Doc Marten’s with a baby doll dress. 😂
I saw Rancid in 96 at Lollapolloza at the Dragstrip in Rockingham NC. Middle of July on 100 acres of asphalt, The heat was unreal. There was no way for the bands to meet with the fans so the guys from Rancid walked about 500 feet thru the briars to a spot where they could sign autographs thru the chain link fence. I will always remember that.
Rancid ranks in the best top 10 concerts I've ever been to....and I've been to a lot of concerts over the years. And Out Come the Wolves was my favorite tour and one of the best pits I've ever been in....and the "Tim jump" is just epic....y'all Rancid fans know what I'm talking about \m/
...And Out Came The Wolves came out in 1995, I think; almost thirty years ago and I still listen to it almost every day! You should check out “Avenues and Alleyways” from the same album. It’s the best song on it in my opinion. I think you’ll appreciate the message.
Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman both came from the iconic late 80s ska/punk band "Operation Ivy" Just about every song on their self-titled compilation with the ska man cover is outstanding. I wore that f-cker out.
That voice is all 70s punk, btw. Style of singing. They wanted to sound like a regular dude singing and generally bands that weren't virtuosic musically. They wanted to sound like a dirty, piss-smelling hole in the wall club (or cluh).
One of the band members produced music by reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, and this was one of the songs. Never really got into this band, but this song is killer.
You should probably clarify that Rancid’s version is not a cover of one of Mr Cliff’s songs. Since ….And Out Comes The Wolves came out in 95, and Rebirth was released in 2012. Can’t believe it’s been that long. I loved both the ep and the album. Actually saw him for the first time on that tour. One of the best performances I’ve ever seen.
@@downwardisheavenward3006 Yes! It's a Rancid song and Mr. Cliff covered it when he was being produced by Tim Armstrong from that band. Also did a great version of the Bob Dylan song A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall, and Guns Of Brixton by The Clash. My favorite originals are One More and Ship Is Sailing.
Do "Roots Radicals". It's their staple and a classic. I've seen Rancid twice and it's always a treat when they play Roots Radicals. Tim sings most of Ruby Soho and he's the guy with the interesting voice. It's very raw and unrefined. Lars is backup on the chorus and he's got a raw voice but hits the actual notes with more precision than Tim. Lars is the better singer. They kinda tag team on vocals for Roots Radicals. "...And Out Come the Wolves" is one of my all time favorite punk records.
You guys recently reviewed Operation Ivy..... This is the band with half those members continuing after the breakup and picking up some awesome members to form one of the greatest punk bands of the 90's that are still doing it today
Rancid have such a contrasting name and image to their sound. A lot of people see them and the word "Rancid" and expect some pretty rough music but they're basically pop-punk and bloody good at it. In my opinion every album they've released is excellent.
Glad ya'll checked out Rancid, very fun band, if very dark at times. I would reccomend you give Hoover Street a listen, also Rancid. Now for the main topic, Link Wray, Iwas hoping yall could do Rumble by Link Wray. He is the godfather of pretty much all moderrn heavy and fast music, and Rumble was the start to it all. Any one else interested in Link Wray and Rumble?
You guys need to check out Operation Ivy. It’s where the bass player and guitarist (the two dudes singing) come from. they pretty much invented Ska Punk.
I got you Mike. On there stream I asked them to do Rancid and Operation Ivy. They picked a different Rancid song then I asked for but they should be putting out Unity by Operation Ivy soon.
This is Tim Armstrong singing , and the chorus is Lars Fredericksen and the bass Player Matt Freeman. Rancid are my favorite band . You have got to check more !.. and this is street punk. About every situation in the street . That is about. He is from California but this is a London crazy situation in a kind of motel room
Song is about a guy having to leave his home and his girl to go on tour for his band. “Destination unknown, ruby ruby ruby soho.” Ruby is the name of the girl and soho is a place in New York I believe
Tim's voice is the result of a speech impediment and a lifetime of drugs lmao. He talks the same way in interviews. Fun fact: he plays a villain in an episode of the X Files.
Tim’s voice is so distinctive you know it’s them instantly. That voice actually has a story related to the origins of band. Tim and Matt (bass) were in a rather seminal punk band Operation Ivy that maybe were on the track to break out, but they split up. Tim struggled heavily with substance use after this, and it is said he had a seizure or OD and was left with something of speech impediment. Matt (best friend since age 5), said you get sober for 1 full year and I’ll start a new band with you. So he got clean and Rancid was formed
I have no idea what this song is about but it was on the "alternative rock" station all the time in mid-90's when I was also starting a whole new life so it was kind of an anthem for going into the unknown.
Great band. Now react to: Refused "New Noise" JFA "Beach Blanket Bongout" Operation Ivy "Sound System" Our Lady Peace "Superman's Dead" The Offspring "Gone Away" or "Gotta Get Away" 🤘💀✌
Please do female fronted punk band called The Distillers. The singer Brody used to be married to the singer T. Armstrong of Rancid. Songs by The Distillers I suggest are Young Crazed Peeling, City of Angels, I Am Revenant, or Seneca Falls. Thx🤘

Their album "...And Out Come The Wolves" is one of the most underrated albums of the 90s. Great from front to back
To me, it's the best album of the 90's!
Agreed
It sits along side Punk In Drublic and Suffer for best punk albums.
@Clockwork Beaver What an accolade!!! Like saying it's the tastiest Dominos pizza...
And Matt Freeman is one of the most under rated bass players in rock and definitely the most talented bass player to end up playing punk rock. I love punk and Matt's almost too talented for the style.

Nail on the head
I feel like I heard that Tim wrote it about Matt Freeman and his girlfriend (or ex) at the time. But ya, you nailed it
@@TheMongooliShow if you look at the writing credits Matt Freeman also helped write that song. But yeah it's about the lose because of touring and soho is an area in new york they call soho street so he left her behind in soho new york.
“Maxwell Murder” by Rancid is great. Such a killer bass solo in it.
Matt F'n Freeman, Rancid has the best bass lines in Punk.
Yes! That thing blows my mind every time I hear it!
I named my son maxwell because of that song
Matt fuckin Freeman is amazin
💯
Matt Freeman is my fav bass player of all time!!!
His solo in Maxwell Murder is spectacular!!!!
One of the best bassists in rock, punk or otherwise. His tone and his feel are both incredible.
He's dedinitely up there with the best, one of my favorite bass players of all time, as well.
Matt is amazing for Punk, I'm not sure I'd put him up with the technical wizards like Vic Wooten and Les Claypool, not sure he could play their chops but what he adds to Rancid is pure gold. He really makes them more than just another punk/ska band with his dynamic walking bass lines.
Got THAT shit right. Still blows my mind.
Same
Tims voice is like a rougher version of Joe Strummer from The Clashs
This is the greatest rock band ever...RESPECT to the GOATS....still rocking in 2022...SEE YA IN THE PIT!
This album formed my musical taste.
I was 14 and heard Time Bomb blasting out of the high school weight room, and immediately loved it.
Time bomb is a classic
"Struck a Nerve" by Bad Religion. Saw it on Friday night videos. Totally changed me
Rancid is a great 90's band, one of my favorites. I was surprised to see you guys react to them, though. But either way, I'd like to see you react to more of their stuff & to more punk bands.
I'd love to see their reaction to Peter & The Test-tube Babies. 😄. Anything from the album 'Mating Sounds of South American Frogs' would be excellent.
I would highly recommend checking out the video for “Time Bomb” by Rancid.
They did awhile back, punk stream.
fock yeah! ♥
One of my favorite Punk songs.

He was the guitarist and back up vocal for the best band of the 80’s. Operation Ivy. The same, amazing bass player! Please check out Op Ivy! Amazing lyrics for a bunch of teenagers! Common Rider - Classics of Love
I would jizz my pants if they did operation ivy
So true, Energy is still one of my favourite albums. They need to check out Unity or Take Warning. Also they were the band that inspired Green Day.
I'd be insanely happy and surprised to see anyone reacting to Common Rider.
Love Op Ivy and still listening to them today. “Sound System “ can still fire me up.
Wife here..Yes..Brad very interesting voice..And Yes Lex..Punch!!..Puts me in the mind of the British Punk sound..(Billy Idol)..(The Clash)..Thanks again for your awesome insight!
This is the song that got me into punk music all those years ago.it's awesome to see you guys visiting every song of my life lol.
I love the musical journey you two are on right now. Rancid! The soundtrack to my angsty teen years.
My absolute favorite Rancid song. My cousin had a Tim-esque mohawk back in the 90s, and he grew up in Missouri. I remember visiting the Gateway Arch and people kept stopping us, asking to take his picture. Sadly, he wasn’t allowed to wear it to his mom’s wedding. At least I was able to wear my Doc Marten’s with a baby doll dress. 😂
Rancid did a song for the SOUTH PARK album, CHEF AID called "BRAD LOGAN".....another awesome song
Saw a bit of a live stream on instagram. Lars did a bit of it from what I saw.
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH LOL!!! It's just really really good.
Now you gotta check out the pre-Rancid group, Operation Ivy! I'd suggest "Knowledge", "Unity", and "Sound System"! awesome stuff!
Those are all great songs. Take warning is a fave of mine, too
I saw Rancid in 96 at Lollapolloza at the Dragstrip in Rockingham NC. Middle of July on 100 acres of asphalt, The heat was unreal. There was no way for the bands to meet with the fans so the guys from Rancid walked about 500 feet thru the briars to a spot where they could sign autographs thru the chain link fence.

YES! You've been needing to react to Rancid!

London punks created the "snotty" sound. You'll finds versions of that vocal style in lots of punk songs.
It’s about that girl name Lex who is figuring out that she really digs punk rock. Love watching you light up to these songs.
The new show is gonna be called The Andrew & Lex Show. Were gonna smile and have fun
THIS is the song that got me into punk. Tim's voice is absolutely unmistakeable, as well as Lars and definitely Matt. Just a great punk band.
...And Out Came The Wolves came out in 1995, I think; almost thirty years ago and I still listen to it almost every day! You should check out “Avenues and Alleyways” from the same album. It’s the best song on it in my opinion. I think you’ll appreciate the message.
YES! I can't believe people used to think that was a racist song when it came out because it's about the exact opposite.
OMG I ♥ Rancid! One of their best songs!
Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman both came from the iconic late 80s ska/punk band "Operation Ivy" Just about every song on their self-titled compilation with the ska man cover is outstanding. I wore that f-cker out.
Lmao! Omg. Too funny. Lex's impersonation was on point.
Great album! I was 16 when it came out, me & my friends used to skate to this all the time.
Operation Ivy one the most influencial band in history of punk
Grew up listening to Op Ivy and Rancid. This song will always bring a tear to my eye, was played at my best friends funeral
I love Rancid. Surprised that you are reacting to them. Have you reacted to a Misfits song yet?
Yes they have.
They just did “Last Caress” a few days ago.
They've done 3 Misfits songs already and a couple of Danzig songs. Look at their list.
Just found you guys. You maybe be my new favorite people on youtube.
OK - Just (5/4/22 8:23 pm Calif time) got sent to you by Andy and Alex Freedom Shack guys!!! Just subbed!!!
That voice is all 70s punk, btw. Style of singing. They wanted to sound like a regular dude singing and generally bands that weren't virtuosic musically. They wanted to sound like a dirty, piss-smelling hole in the wall club (or cluh).
My fav band since 1995. Thanks for giving them a listen!
Lead singer Tim Armstrong was also one of the lead singers in Operation Ivy.
The bassist is keeping up a pretty steady happy rhythm. Good times song.
Name is Matt Freeman. Amazing bass player.
Another great band. Solid discography.
This and Radio are my favorite Rancid songs. And they are amazing in concert!

You guys need to check out Operation Ivy. It’s where the bass player and guitarist (the two dudes singing) come from. they pretty much invented Ska Punk.
Congrats, y’all just listened to the best punk band to ever do it.
Tim is my favorite singer ever! Thanks for this reaction I love them so much.
This was one of the best albums of the 90's. I wore out multiple copies of this album as a teenager.
D.I. - Richard Hung Himself
Kia ora hello from Aotearoa new zealand hay I'm wearing one of my RANCID TEE SHIRTS RIGHT NOW (and out come the wolves) seen them twice funtimes
Nice. Later Punk, but still held it down. Great Album- Out Come The Wolves. 1981, The Exploited, Song- Punk's Not Dead
Looks like brad and lex forgot they heard Tim Armstrong voice before when they reacted to time bomb.
OPERATION IVY
I got you Mike. On there stream I asked them to do Rancid and Operation Ivy. They picked a different Rancid song then I asked for but they should be putting out Unity by Operation Ivy soon.
@@1212rjs nice! Yeah if we’re talking Rancid I’d prefer Olympia or their cover of Brad Logan.
One of the best albums ever created!!! All killer no filler!
Finally hearing Rancid
You guys gotta do more punk songs. BTW, there's 2 singers in this song
John Jacob Niles - You Got To Cross That Lonesome Valley
I'd love to see your reaction that.
This is Tim Armstrong singing , and the chorus is Lars Fredericksen and the bass Player Matt Freeman. Rancid are my favorite band . You have got to check more !.. and this is street punk. About every situation in the street . That is about. He is from California but this is a London crazy situation in a kind of motel room
This song blew my mind when it came it out and it still does, because of everything...
So cool to see you Lex getting fascinated about Armstrong's voice🤩 One of my favourit bands, but not many of my friends like his voice😂
The whole album is amazing. Not a single song is filler. I can play it nonstop.
Must be their Clash tribute lol… i liked Op Ivy ok but i was all growed up when the third generation came around
Love Rancid, they have so many amazing songs.
Enjoyed it, reminds me of the early 80"s. It's a punk rock style.
Song is about a guy having to leave his home and his girl to go on tour for his band. “Destination unknown, ruby ruby ruby soho.” Ruby is the name of the girl and soho is a place in New York I believe
Dead milkmen next. Their song Punk rock girl is dope.
They’ve actually heard it. I’m sure the video will be out soon
Love Rancid till this day and have every album - they are so awesome
Possibly my all time favorite band....the early stuff is simply great
The style is called The Clash. And that's just fine because these guys did it well.
I love when you react to one of my suggestions. You should check out Flogging Molly - Salty Dog
Tim's voice is the result of a speech impediment and a lifetime of drugs lmao. He talks the same way in interviews. Fun fact: he plays a villain in an episode of the X Files.

There’s a great version of this song by the band Manic Hispanic and the song is Rudy Cholo. It’s a great punk band and song, you should check it out.
Manic Hispanic is such a great, fun band
I saw Manic Hispanic a few times. Great live band.
Fall back down. Another great song from Rancid
What, what just happened? I don’t know, that voice though🤣ROOKIES!
I love Rancid! The lead singer has a cleft palate. That’s why he sounds that way.
Talk about a throw back to teenage me. Haha glad y'all reacted to it
The singer reminds me of Jason Mewes from the Kevin Smith movies (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy...)
Great band.
Now react to: Refused "New Noise"
JFA "Beach Blanket Bongout"
Operation Ivy "Sound System"
Our Lady Peace "Superman's Dead"
The Offspring "Gone Away" or "Gotta Get Away"
🤘💀✌
I always ask for Freeze up or Unity by Op Ivy but nobody ever does it.... my fav op ivy songs and still so extremely relevant in todays climate.
New Noise would be wild
Got them to do unity. Should be coming soon.
@@1212rjs hell yeah!@
Love Rancid so much,this whole album is amazing! 🏴
Front to back you can't pick a favorite from this album bc each and every song is so unique and special.
Please do female fronted punk band called The Distillers. The singer Brody used to be married to the singer T. Armstrong of Rancid. Songs by The Distillers I suggest are Young Crazed Peeling, City of Angels, I Am Revenant, or Seneca Falls. Thx🤘
This album is an absolute punk classic. I’m not a big Rancid fan but this album is all straight bangers
My most fav Rancid is vid and song together, "Red Hot Moon'. It reminds me of the day. Never again. These places don't even exist anymore.
This whole album is SO good, and very worth checking out.
"Timebomb" is another popular song by Rancid that was in some movies and pop culture.
Tim completely blew his voice out in the late 80s, but he kept singing. Still does Rancid and a solo project to this day.
Time bomb
They already did time bomb my dude...
@@alexallen6286 😆 clearly I wasn't paying attention. I'll go look it up 🍻
Love this tune!
You can pick any song from this album!
How does he sing like that? Whiskey, cigarettes, and lager.
