Tim/Rancid art
The top one is from Tim when it was released and I finally got it framed finally.
The bottom one was supposed to go into the Punk Rock museum in Vegas but they didn’t end up using it. I bought from an auction for a kids music program that Tim is involved with.

This is the edited version. A good soul removed some yokel from the background.

Hooligans United Tribute Album
I know this is a 10 year old album and most of you probably know about it, but I like to listen to it when I've been burning myself out on Rancid. If anyones hasn't heard it, check it out. Lots of different styles and damn, 54 songs!

Op Ivy “Healthy Body” father and son recording session
I got into Rancid because of Operation Ivy. More than 30 years later it’s an honor to cover and record this song with my 9yo son Jarvis. This song is available on all streaming platforms! We are SHAWTIME DUO from NYC, thank you for watching.

How would you rank their albums?

Just got a new bass so had to break it in

Important shit right here.. vote now or forever hold your silence.
During the bass solo in Maxwell Murder , do you think Tim says “awww Max” or “Awww Matt”. I mean I know the song is called Maxwell Murder , but he says it during Matt’s (bass player) solo, and I can never decided if he’s saying “Max” or “Matt” with his TA accent. So, Let’s settle this.

Rancid album autographed
I got to hang with Vic Ruggiero recently and asked him to sign my Rancid album, Indestructible. He played keyboards and organ on a couple albums including this one. Vic was especially proud of signing on the back of Lars’ head. He said just in case I do happen to meet anyone in Rancid they can see who got to sign first 🤣
Vic is one of my idols and this made my year!

Tim’s guitar work
Do you think Tim hardly plays the guitar due to damage from playing with it slung so low? He was playing through full songs back in op Ivy, but he’s been skipping verses of guitar in rancid since the 90s.
I’ve seen recent video of him playing full songs on acoustic, but he’s sitting down and that forces a decent hold your guitar.
Thoughts?

B Sides and C Sides Reissue.
Two things for the nerds out there.
- Is the new repress of the Glow in the Dark from Pirates Press on Discogs? I see the splatter press from 1234 Go Records. I’m a dork. Gotta catalog the collection.
- Is it weird that Branden is on the back? Did he record any of these songs? Thought it was all Brett. No shade to Branden.

Merch quality
How’s the quality? I saw that some shirts are Gillian which I don’t have a problem with that but does it shrink after some washes?
