Dalle co-wrote, played guitar and provided lead vocals for nearly every track on the band's three albums - Timothy Ross Armstrong is an American musician, singer, songwriter and producer. Known for his distinctive voice, he is the singer/guitarist for the punk rock band Rancid and hip hop/punk rock supergroup Transplants. Prior to forming Rancid, Armstrong was in the ska punk band Operation Ivy - Brody Dalle is an Australian singer, songwriter, and musician. She began playing music in her adolescence and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18, where she founded the punk rock band The Distillers. The group released three albums before disbanding in 2006.

The story pushed by Armstrong's camp five years later, following the divorce, was that Dalle had used Armstrong, Also she admitted to telling Tim she was 19 in an interview sooo.

    Honestly, she would never have been playing that festival in the 90's (a licenced venue) without management telling her to say she's 19. They won't say 18 because that's too 'on the nose'. That's how you know it's an adult telling her what to do. A teenager will say 18. A manager will tell you to say 19. It's got nothing to do with Tim.

    I don’t know, but considering that Brody has 2 failed marriages and her claims of abuse in both of them. I always look at the common denominator of a situation. You have 1 marriage that ends badly with abuse allegations, that sucks. You have a second failed marriage with claims of abuse, how can someone be that unlucky? 🤷🏽‍♀️I don’t know them personally and I certainly wouldn’t look to Wikipedia as a source.

      Lots of abused women are attracted to violent men. They're warped and think violence is what makes a man a man. That's why among intelligent men we tell each other to stay away from abused women. At some point they normalize violence and will push you to it or think you're weak if you don't hit them.

But as you said it is a nasty piece of business that regardless of weather she told him she was 19 at first ( n she may have) but the timeline tells the story so regardless if she lied about her age first meet, he learned her true age and instead of feeling sick to his stomach and walking away which any man with morals and principles would, he didn't and that is something that most likely would have had him in a R.Kelly situation.But punk n the fact that social media wasn't out yet saved him.

    I'm pretty new to this tbh, I had no idea that Brody was 16 and Tim was 30 when they started dating and that is just wild to me. Going based on this, I'm sorry but I think the fault lies more on Tim because he was the fully grown adult in this scenario. Brody was just a teenager, technically, still a kid by the constitution and Tim should've called it off immediately when he found out her true age. Reading another comment, they were saying that she tried to put the moves on Josh Homme but he turned her down because he obviously knew the relationship would be problematic and that is what Tim should've done as well. You can say that Brody was being trampy but again, she was a kid and regardless of her antics, the adult in the situation still has the power. If Tim was that interested in her, he should've waited until she became an adult

      The constitution doesn't matter. They met in Australia, she was there until she was 18. None of their relationship happened on American soil when she was underage.

    16 is not a child laws were made saying 18 is when you're all of a sudden grown up and able to be in a relationship no that is so much b******* you do not choose who you fall in love with and when you're 16 your old enough to fall in love when I was 16 I had already moved out of my parents house got a job and worked to support me my girlfriend and all of our bills I had my own apartment and lived like an adult so at that time. If somebody would have told me I couldn't have a girlfriend that was older than me which was 16 at the time told me I couldn't have a girlfriend who was 18 I would have told them to go f*** themselves cuz if I can have a job and support myself then I think I'm old enough to make the decision of whether I want to have a partner who is 2 years older than me why when you turn 18 are you all of a sudden able to have a partner who is 50 years older than you if you want and nobody says anything but 2 years before that age if you're with somebody who's older than you than all of a sudden all hell breaks leather some people have a problem with it and lose their minds know that is retarded and I don't care what people say to me or say about me or due to me because that is the truth The opinion of somebody who is 16 not being able to be responsible enough to make the decision of whether they want to be with somebody a little bit older than them like 2 years is their opinion and their decision not anybody else's

    Am glad there is a video on this, I remember when they were together and the break up. One thing that I will always remember when they were a couple was Kelly Osbourne saying how much she hated Brody and saying she just used Tim and his name to further her (Brody’s) career. There was a response from Brody printed as well but I can’t remember exactly what her response was. She has definitely admitted in interviews to lying about her age. But that is why Kelly is in the Fall Back Down rancid video because she was always on Tim’s side and never liked Brody even when they were married. One article at the time says as they (Tim and Brody) both described the moment they met as love at first sight. Make of that what you will. I also remember at the Kerrang awards after their breakup, it being written about that when Tim saw Brody and Josh together he cried and had to leave. Josh has physically abused women in public as well so he is no saviour for Brody. I don’t condone either of behaviour during this relationship, Tim was off alcohol but during the time he got his spider web head tattoo he was on a heroin relapse and Brody was a meth head and only stopped when she got pregnant. All interviews and articles about it have been taken off the web, no doubt due to both Tim and Brody not wanting it to be public anymore as they are both not proud of how they behaved, or in Brody’s case if it would harm custody of her children in her break up with Josh. If anyone has any physical music mags still kicking around from the time, doubtful I know, but that would be the best source. I love Rancid and The Distillers. Sometimes people aren’t good for each other and fuel each others bad behaviour.

    @brettc6132 Рік тому +43

    See my thinking is that, as a man in my early 30s myself, dating a 19 year old at this point is a seriously unattractive proposition at this point. I don’t have some weird insecurity to want to show off some child on my arm for social cred, and I couldn’t imagine wanting to actually spend my time with some dumb kid since I could barely stand 19 year olds when I was 19 much less a decade+ later.
    A significant other is supposed to be your partner in virtually all aspects of life-they should be each other’s best friend since they will (ostensibly) be spending more time with each other than anyone else in their lives.
    So anyone who thinks it would be cool or fun to date/marry a teenager when you’re in your 30s, please answer this: if that same 19 year old was the opposite gender or otherwise off the board as far as a romantic partner, would you still be able to spend all your free time with them? Sex is not even in the top 10 most important things in a relationship, so if it’s the only reason either party is there then it’s really not a surprise why they will not last-at least not if you’re clever like me😅

    Age of consent in Australia is 16 except in 2 states where it is 17. Brody lived in Victoria where the age of consent is 16. She didn't move to the U.S. until she was 18. So unless they went to South Australia or Tasmania within the first year of meeting and banged, then Tim did nothing wrong. Creepy? That's up for debate, but illegal, not at all.

      No one is wrong here. This happens almost 30 years ago. Different sensibilities. Brody was already living on her own (she wasnt a sheltered kid) and yes, she introduce herself as being 19. She says so. So this is more like a college prof hooking up with a student, weird but not the end of the world. Tim married her, wrote songs to her and gave her a career. Lastly, groomers and pedos dont just act out once. Where are Tim's other victims if he was one? This situation was weird but nothing out of the ordinary.

      Ya, even if she lied about her age when they met, you don't date someone for two years and not at some point discover their true age. Like at some point, especially being in a band, it's like let's get lunch and she can't because she has a geometry test and can't.
      Or idk, she is trashy so maybe she was a drop out. I would be more interested in discovering details of those two years before making a judgement on Tim. Like she was in Australia and he was in a band touring around the world. So idk, maybe it was just long distance phone conversations, even though there was the internet in 95, the internet was way different back then and not everyone was on it.
      Anyways, idk, cause either he knew and just is using that line for cover or she was deceiving him for two years until she could legally make the choice to move to Los Angeles and start IRL dating Tim.
      Either way, it doesn't look good.

      I don't want to defend a groomer but in 1995 it was possible to lie about your age.

Still he was the adult he should've walked once he found out

      @@HyperUserGoesHyperer As someone who’s played live for 20 or so years, I can tell you this. The allowed stage time for artists can be pretty short ie: 30-50 minutes max depending on the venue. It likely wasn’t her choice to only play for 45 minutes. Especially if she was playing solo or not in the distillers. There might also be issues with contracts, preventing her from playing Distillers tracks, or maybe just certain Distillers or Spinnerette tracks. Thus shortening her set as well. I mean, 45 minutes isn’t the best. But it’s not the worst. I’ve seen bands get on stage, have a few technical difficulties, and end up playing actual music for only 20-25 minutes during what should be a 60-90 minute set. The music biz is very strange! If I had to guess, I’d say your experience was out of her hands. But I could be wrong. It’s like the Wild West out there. And being a performer is one of the most stressful, AND freeing experiences in the world. There are just SO many variables. Take care 😄!

    People really don't understand how common teens with mid-late 20s relationships were in the 90s and even part of the 2000s. I was in a couple when I was teen, and a friend of mine in h.s. was 15 and started dating the singer of a band we saw at a local small time punk show who was 25. When they were 17 and he was just about to turn 27 they married during our senior year. They divorced about 4 yrs later only to reconnect a few years after that, remarry and are still together raising a family. Sometimes the person for you is out there and you may not be the same ages. Just look at Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau. And given how Brody was with Josh Homme it sems like she has some serious issues of her own so I don't put the age lie past her.

    Inside word. She was in Australia looking for a way into the music biz. Lint was very well known for wearing his heart on his sleeve. He was impressed by band, she saw a meal ticket and hopped on the train.
    And if I remember it all correctly, she was only a prospective record deal musician, no dating until she was 18. He keep things on the up and up on purpose.
    The entire East Bay scene saw he was getting screwed over. Tim is too kind, too sweet, and too tired of being alone to keep his guard up.
    Go to Gilman Street and ask about his character. Not a single person out there will characterize as a predator or someone who goes for the Svengali role. Sit down and talk to him, you will see the sincerity in his soul.
    Brody found herself a bigger star, cheated on Tim, married Josh and immediately became Mrs. Homme and started spurting out “lifetime paycheck” American born kids. But no, seriously…go see what East Bay peeps think of her.

"They thought they were the punk rock kings, funny when half your audience is letterman jackets and preppy rich kids who want to be the rebel for 45 minutes". This was in Pittsburgh.

    I think she probably did tell him she was 19, I think she probably told everyone she was older to get into the scene and break through. However, she clearly didn’t lie to him for two years - he would’ve known at some point. She was probably praised for seeming and acting older.
    I think the issue is more the way we view kids who don’t act like kids and the culture that feeds into. She was vulnerable but nobody cared. If everyone around Tim thought it was okay, that just reinforces him that the relationship was okay (when it wasn’t). Obviously don’t know anything about their marriage beyond how it ended, so I don’t know if he was abusive or whatever but he definitely held the power as the person who could make or break her career and (likely) her only source of genuine support for thousands of miles.

    In many countries the age of consent is 16, so intercourse in those countries would be legal in this case. It's only illegal if she was under 18 in the US
    Same with alcohol, US 21, other countries 16 or 18.

    Calling either of them “punk rock” is what needs to be addressed. I mean, come on….

      Tim is punk and Brody is a poser who used to be punk. What else needs to be addressed?

      Stastucally speaking men of all age groups (generally speaking ofc) prefer women 18-24. That’s when they’re at the peak of their youth and fertility.
