Ye,and you changed my life. I came across your talk about neuro plasticity and behaviour,randomlly online.I was just about to skip it,when i hear you talking about your youth days and being into punk. So,as a punk myself,that speaked to me and changed my whole mindset and got into learning computer science and everything hanged.thx you for that.Cool to see you here
Tim was my hero as a teen. The older you get the more you see we are all just people who go through shit. Some good some bad. No one is above the next. Tim and punk music helped me with that lesson. Rancid was also the first punk band I ever heard. I was raised on a tiny reservation and we didnt have any access to outside culture. I was 13 and had left the reservation for foster care. A punk girl sent me a song by rancid and it changed my life.
@@alessandrorizzi4736 The song was Ruby Soho. It took me until this year to find out the reggae song that plays at the start of the song, it is called "give me power" by the stingers that plays at the start of ruby soho.
Thank you for this. I grew up with Tim in Albany. We played in many pre Basic Radio/Op Ivy bands together. Our first gig was at the Albany High School talent show in 1983 as Ratt Patrol with Tim's brother Greg on drums. We then continued with a bunch of ska bands like The Unkool and Urban Noise. The East Bay had many all age clubs in those days, and there was great music everywhere. It fills my heart with joy to see Tim and Matt still creating such great music.
You must have so many great stories! Man I'm jealous, not gonna lie, Tim has been one of my favourie musicians ever since I've first heard Op Ivy and Rancid!
I was working at Pyramid Brewery on Gilman about 20 years ago. Four people in their 60s, maybe, sat in my section and told me their son used to play across the streeet (Gilman). The lady turned to me and asked me, “do y(ou know our son?” I asked, “who is your son?”, and she said, “Tim Armstrong”. I said, “I do not know your son personally, but I know who he is.” Very nice people,I thought it was weird that they would think I knew their son. Tim, your parents are very nice people. I hope you have a great relationship with them.
Tim is a legend. By far, my favorite musician! Besides what he did for punk rock and so many awesome originals, his love for music and amazing covers are truly unmatched!
60 years old. I was gardening for an old man, an a nurse arrived for the old guys blood test. Pointed to my RANCID t-shirt, do you like them. She'd seen them in America . Had a lovely chat about punk rock. Long live Tim you have bought me so much joy.
Bro - your channel is so well done. Your videos are very well researched and edited, and you have a knack for simply telling a story, not in a gimmicky or clickbaity way Thanks for telling it how it is.
I love your channel dude, awesome subjects! Since I've found your channel I've been rediscovering my love for punk rock. I now realize that punk rock is a huge part of the music that feels like home to me. All thanks to you friend!
I’ve never heard Matt’s speaking voice! He’s really well spoken! Not sure what I was expecting haha brilliant video I’m excited for the rest! Lifelong rancid/op ivy fan here ❤ you got yourself a new subscriber 🫡
Some of that footage when he's interviewing DHC and stuff was from a local cable show I worked on. I got to watch all those raw tapes of Elephant Parts and Basic Radio. Good times. Also that show at the end with Rancid.. I was there!
I've never been a huge Rancid fan....but I do enjoy several of their albums. That said, I've been an Operation Ivy fan since I first heard them in 1994. Literally just bought a new copy of the Energy LP about 2 weeks ago. It's as good as it's always been, too. Love it...
And out come the wolves was the album that changed everything for me. Fun times, maybe too much chaos. But that album had a huge impact on me. The first punk album I bought.
Same here. I had enough money to buy a cd while I was visiting my dad. I think I may have heard one rancid song before. I remember looking at the album cover for the first time in the music shop. I remember thinking, "Rancid... such a Badass band name" I had to pick between rancid 2000 and out come the wolves. I loved the name of the album. Boy, am I glad I picked that gem up. I listened to it on repeat that whole trip. It never gets old and was my window into one of the best genres of music.
I met Matt and Tim at the Loft in Austin Texas in 88 at an Op Ivy show there. Tim was bald and I had a double fin charge bright red. These " grunge " kids were making fun of the " big haired" people and being rude,which would've resulted in a brawl,if Tim hadn't stopoed the damn song and set the bullys straight. I thanked him and hung out had sone beers and on my way. 2 years later i see Tim with a bright red hawk on Mtv. I like to think that I was part of the transition of Tim to full on punk,but i really know it was a combination of events just like that which molded these guts into a respected punk band worldwide. These dudes are stand up guys.
Operation ivy forever ones band that I still listened everyday with clash, ramones , xtc, lou reed, buzzcocks , toy dolls, devo, ramones, all day long and dream with them
It’s still so weird to be that he’s my parents’ age. He’s going to be 60 next year. That’s blowing my mind. He just doesn’t seem like he’s born in the 60s to me for some reason. He’s totally a boomer.
17 year old humans typically suck and have no clue about life at all, but these guys in Op Ivy are a top 10 (maybe 5) band for me. It's freaking insane how good they were at such a young age
I ran into Tim in Vancouver BC at one of the early days of the Warped Tour. I was just a little twerp at the time but I was a pretty big fan of Rancid and Op Ivy so when I saw Tim taking a picture with a fan i was stoked cause I had a couple of those disposable cameras that kids today dont even remember.... Anyway, I walked up and asked if we could take a picture together and he said the funniest thing.... He was like, "id love to take a picture with you but I don't have a camera or anything" LMAO I guess it didn't occur to him that I would have my own camera for some reason. Lmao It was probably a decade later that we became friends and ended up on Hellcat Records. Tim is a great person and he will have your back through anything if you have his back too. Fuckin A

THAT TIME ERA IN MY LIFE WAS MONUMENTAL TO ME AT THE FORMATIVE TIME IN MY LIFE, PUNK ROCK WAS MY LIFE THAT WAS THE 1ST TIME I WAS ABLE TO SEE RANCID PERFORM LIVE IN MY CITY. I WAS 15. THEY WERRENT ON THE BILL ON NERW YRS EVE SHOW, JUST ATTENDEDING AS GUESTS. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY THAT SUMMER THAT TIME IN MY LIFE.

I grew up in country bumfuckville tennesse. A population of 700. Rancid and so many other punk and reggae bands were my go to. I so wanted to see the ghettos tim talked about but all i had was open fields and cattle pastures
If u dig punk.. Go back in time and check out some old stuff.. Samhain is 1 to deff listen 2...social d..the cramps.. It all started way b4 tim... But i get that its the era u found punk... Man its crazy how much music can have a impact on you when your a kid and going through what u think is the worst shit ever...sometimes it is i guess... Music is always there for us and giving us a place to call home..wish u the best brother 🤘
Cheers from Orange County California... Oi Oi Oi... It's always been about the independent minded,, however they get there,, I am in no way a fan of Tim's work,, Nor Cal has its own vibe, more get along,, always met great people and at 1st meeting always get the, your from SoCal thing,, Now 50, it's music,, Old to hear the influence, move and change,, I find solid modern Street Punk and Post Punk,, Force Mugera, MESS, Ultra Razzia,, Also Incendiary,, Have some playlist,, to share Bands and more to share the Channels... SAMHAIN!!!
I was listening to op ivy cassette tape rolling across the dessert in desert storm and rancid CD's doing convoy security in Iraqi freedom. Still haven't made it to a concert.... it'll happen
Out Comes The Wolves defined a summer for me. I was actually 33. I had been into punk since I was about 19 but I always saw Rancid as being kind of poserish. But as I got older I didn't think that way any longer. I had lost my punk roots due to a bad heroin habit. But here I was at 33, quiting dope and going back to alcohol. I was hanging out with a couple of guys tems years my junior. AJ, my friend, he was about as punk as they come. I was charging my hair again and having sex again. It was a great summer. I met my love I'm still with. I hear these songs and I'm there again.. AJ is gone now, victim of heroin overdose. Well punk has been highjacked by the new left, this authoritarian racist bastard child of what I knew as a young man when I was a leftist. Yea, no reason to be punk any longer..
This is AMAZING. Tim’s positive contributions to music and culture are incalculable.
Love that you’re such a Rancid fan! AMAZING Doc!🤘🏼😂
Ye,and you changed my life.
I came across your talk about neuro plasticity and behaviour,randomlly online.I was just about to skip it,when i hear you talking about your youth days and being into punk.

Literally the last person I thought I would see in the comments
Bad Religion had an influence on me getting interested in science. I studied neuroscience briefly, dropped out but may go back as a mature student.
Tim was my hero as a teen. The older you get the more you see we are all just people who go through shit. Some good some bad. No one is above the next. Tim and punk music helped me with that lesson.

Major respect to you. Your words are truth.
My story is spot on to Tim’s except I was him as a young teen in the early 90’s going through what he was singing about. The punk scene was my family.
can’t even believe this man isn’t talked about more
because he don't want to

This is incredible, not even in your first language or country. I've never seen most of these shots before. Thank you ❤

Just a few seconds in… I’m hooked! Thank you for a documentary type-video on Tim Armstrong! Living legend!
Tim has always been my favorite song writer.
Waiting for the rest of this!
Incredible work hommie!
Christ, Matt Freeman is a weapon. What a player
This is so well done, can't wait for the rest of the series.
Lookin forward to part 2 + 3 that was well put together man thank you
Perfect man, can't wait for second part 🏆
This is a great series I can't wait till part 3. Appreciate this ❤
10:04 Holy crap I loved Dance Hall Crashers
🎉Wow great video. Thank you for posting.Cant wait to see Rancid and Green Day in Pa next year.
I love your channel dude, awesome subjects! Since I've found your channel I've been rediscovering my love for punk rock. I now realize that punk rock is a huge part of the music that feels like home to me. All thanks to you friend!
loved it! Rancid was my favorite back in the day and i'm seeing them again soon
Dude… this is the most in depth video on Tim ever. Where do you find these pictures and all this footage? Amazing work dude
Its out there in people's basement
@@Thebassguru84true that 😂
Thank you for doing this I hope you release the other 2, I'm looking forward to it.
I’ve never heard Matt’s speaking voice! He’s really well spoken! Not sure what I was expecting haha brilliant video I’m excited for the rest! Lifelong rancid/op ivy fan here ❤ you got yourself a new subscriber 🫡
Matt has a UA-cam channel called "Matt Freeman's bass bunker". I like how he starts his videos. He sounds like a TV news anchor.
So grateful you made this
Best bio on TA to date on you tube to date.
When I worked in El Cerrito I met both Jeff Armstrong & Matt Freeman's dad at my job 😅
Some of that footage when he's interviewing DHC and stuff was from a local cable show I worked on. I got to watch all those raw tapes of Elephant Parts and Basic Radio. Good times. Also that show at the end with Rancid.. I was there!
Do Brett Reed next. I feel like very little is known or talked about him and he was always my favorite drummer.
What a beautiful video. Thanks for making something so great for me to help teach my kids more about such awesome classic music.
Definitely want to see the rest of this
Love your accent, Narrator! Great bio documentary on the front man of my fave 1980s skapunk band: OPERATION IVY
I didn't know that Borat knew so much about punk rock.
This man is the reason I picked up a guitar and songwriting at 13. I’m 30 years old now 😅
Incredibly good stuff once again from Tome
It’s HARD to find in depth interviews with him on UA-cam . Thankyou !
Thanks for this mate. Happy new year.
I never ever criticise but some of Hip Hop are dead but this is immortal at least for me and a lot of people!Tim is legend!!!
Following. this was well done
Wow, great work on this!
I've never been a huge Rancid fan....but I do enjoy several of their albums. That said, I've been an Operation Ivy fan since I first heard them in 1994. Literally just bought a new copy of the Energy LP about 2 weeks ago. It's as good as it's always been, too. Love it...

I find it funny he was with tobi vail who was also with Kurt Cobain
This is a valuable and very interesting video.
Tim is very attractive and really cool punk hero !!
This is fukin epic bro! Keep up the good work Tome
Thank you so much
Amazing!! Greetings from the Czech republic
Great work! Beautiful accent too! You just earned a new sub! Looking forward to the experiences you offer!
Dang, this was rad! If you have footage from the Opivy Healdsburg show (lightly attended), I’ll call it day and move to the mountains
Love this!
I was looking for an ON POINT Tim Armstrong documentary before taking the whole family on tour with Rancid, Smashing Pumpkins, and Green Day
Uhh, as long as the family doesnt include littles you dont want r*ped.
Oh and the linda linda's. The industry plants formed to push agendas for a new generation!
The more I learn about Tim, the more I understand the lyrics.
I met Matt and Tim at the Loft in Austin Texas in 88 at an Op Ivy show there. Tim was bald and I had a double fin charge bright red. These " grunge " kids were making fun of the " big haired" people and being rude,which would've resulted in a brawl,if Tim hadn't stopoed the damn song and set the bullys straight. I thanked him and hung out had sone beers and on my way. 2 years later i see Tim with a bright red hawk on Mtv. I like to think that I was part of the transition of Tim to full on punk,but i really know it was a combination of events just like that which molded these guts into a respected punk band worldwide.
These dudes are stand up guys.
13:46 Matt Freeman playing a vintage Aria Pro II on stage? Sure looks like the headstock on mine own. Pretty recognizable, I think. Anyone?
It doesn't matter how old he is he's Tim freaking Armstrong!!!
Tim has his dad’s eyes, so much resemblance
Don't stop posting about people who overcome these struggles people, that's how we solve addiction and get to understand what causes it.
Bro has the coolest punk speech impediment/accent lol. Tim’s a goat for sure!!
Rancid had some perfect tunes 🏆
Tim and Lars still put out great music. Whenever I need a pick me up
Such a good watch
Tim is a true Punker🤘
I was at that We Are The Union show in the Sanctuary
Operation ivy forever ones band that I still listened everyday with clash, ramones , xtc, lou reed, buzzcocks , toy dolls, devo, ramones, all day long and dream with them
Damn! Operation Ivy played Sneeky Dee's in Toronto?! That would've been sick!
Fun fact: Tim's manager at Blondies Pizza on Telegraph Ave was Adrienne Droogas from Spitboy.
I love this guy...LA was very annoying tbh...this stuff was refreshing.
It’s still so weird to be that he’s my parents’ age. He’s going to be 60 next year. That’s blowing my mind. He just doesn’t seem like he’s born in the 60s to me for some reason. He’s totally a boomer.
early gen x try
boomer is like 40s lol
@@EASFromTheWest its up until about mid 60s which then starts gen x
TA is gen x dope
He looks and sounds like a homeless drug addict
This is insane. You even have Stormy Sheppard footage.
Weren't their technically 4 bands Armstrong was in with Freeman? Op Ivy, Dancehall Crashers, Rancid, The Silencers, and Devil's Brigade?
Downfall also
17 year old humans typically suck and have no clue about life at all, but these guys in Op Ivy are a top 10 (maybe 5) band for me. It's freaking insane how good they were at such a young age
I guess becoming a street kid will mature you real quick

I was listening to op ivy cassette tape rolling across the dessert in desert storm and rancid CD's doing convoy security in Iraqi freedom. Still haven't made it to a concert.... it'll happen

Out Comes The Wolves defined a summer for me. I was actually 33. I had been into punk since I was about 19 but I always saw Rancid as being kind of poserish. But as I got older I didn't think that way any longer. I had lost my punk roots due to a bad heroin habit. But here I was at 33, quiting dope and going back to alcohol. I was hanging out with a couple of guys tems years my junior. AJ, my friend, he was about as punk as they come. I was charging my hair again and having sex again. It was a great summer. I met my love I'm still with. I hear these songs and I'm there again.. AJ is gone now, victim of heroin overdose. Well punk has been highjacked by the new left, this authoritarian racist bastard child of what I knew as a young man when I was a leftist. Yea, no reason to be punk any longer..
