Well, these guys are soooo great!
they really got the punk feeling down pat!
Sound like they just come out of a garage or basement, very real!
Knowlege was great! and they covered these boots are made for walking ! really good cover! even though all their songs are in the range of the 3 or 4 chord talent genre, sometimes simplicity is the key to great music....

I've always liked Op Ivy, although I dont listen to them much anymore. Personally just kinda tired of hearing their songs, I used to listen to them nonstop when I was younger. Artifical Life, Vulnerability, Here We Go Again- that's the good stuff.

Ive liked Op Ivy for quite awhile. Funny how i heard they broke up cuz they were gettin to big and didnt want to deal with all the bs, only to form Rancid??
but i guess if thats true, they had no choice but to get big. They have a good sound and it was gonna blow up no matter what name they went under.

wow, I cannot ****ing belive that I never peiced that together....!
Op Ivy is Rancid? I feel like such an idiot!
O well, live and learn, maybe it is because I listen to more of the oldschool punk, and I don't really follow the personal lives too much of the bands...but it will take me a long time to live that one down....

It was Jesse, the lead singer, that didnt like the fact that they were getting big. Tim Armstrong ("Lint") did back up vocals and guitar (he sings on Bad Town), Matt Freeman played bass- those were the two that went on to form Rancid. Funny story is that they were looking for a second guitarist, and Billie Joe turned them down. They ended up with Lars who was in UK Subs. That turned out well obviously. I'm surprised you didnt know that though. Either way, Rancid's built up a name on its own, without the connection, plus both bands were quite different.

well, like I said, I don't follow the bands, just the music, but yeah, you would think I would know at least that about Billie Joe!
like I said before, you learn something new everyday! That is what I love about this site!
