Rancid's history starts in the end of 1991. Tim and Matt
had played in Operation Ivy who ended up in -89 and Tim was
in serious drugs and alcohol problems. Matt saw that Tim
must have something to do to get off that problems and they
formed the band "Downfall" but it was over almost at the
same time.Tim "started all over" and had nothing to do, and
at that time he and Matt formed the band RANCID.
It was very impotant for Tim to have a band, to get off all
the problems and have something to do. They also after a
while got Brett Reed on drums and now they were three in
the band. Brett had played in the local band "Smog". Exept
Operation Ivy, Downfall and Rancid, Tims have played in
other bands like: Shaken '69, Silencers and Dance Hal More...

------ About the song Ruby Soho performed by Rancid
To "anonimous":
I don't know what the fuck kind of douchey pop-punk you grew up with, but REAL punk has absolutely nothin to do with sexual encounters. REAL punk is about saying "fuck you" to fake authority which is why so many of these bands are Liberal, even though they stand up for and support fake authority in people like Obama.

------ About the song Ruby Soho performed by Rancid
the punk rock song is reminescent of the punk rock scene. it begins with a sexual gesture and a room mate borringly and audibly witnessing the sexual encounter. he leaves her. he moves on. she's heart-broken and THAT is real punk rock. SOHO baby.
Another reasoning | Reviewer: Damien
------ About the song Ruby Soho performed by Rancid
I think it's a song that a women is trying to get the man to come out and show his responsibility, and using a memeroque like myspace is a way to show after he helped her she then helped him. Also his destination at the moment is unknown because he does'nt want to make another mistake.

------ About the song Ruby Soho performed by Rancid
I think Ruby is the girl and shes there helping him and trying to be supportive. But he is head strong and focused on his music. When hes there, shes all for him, but when he leaves to tour, it gives her a chance to see outside of that world. And eventually she realizes that he aint into her as much as she is into him. So she makes the choice to leave.

GREEN DAY SUCKS!!! Rancid is much better, but try out something better like subhumans, amebix, maybe even zounds, Flux of pink indians? Stop listening to fucking GAY DAY, please!! And GAY is BAD if you didnt already know that. :)

I think its about a guy thats got a band and he is dreaming about his band making it big, then they do make it, and he choses that over a girlfriend who isnt supportive and like rich said, is selfish and wants to keep him at home to her self. not sure though, thats just what i get from it

there are two versions of this song and both are fucking amazing. Personally i like the one with rancid and the stuborn all-stars better the horns are just beautiful and even thou there
is only one nice guitar riff this is rancid's best ska song no matter what they say. Revival ska is the best.

------ About the song Ruby Soho performed by Rancid
Ruby Soho seems to be about a rock star who is always leaving to go back on the road and his girl doesn't understand why he chooses to be a rocker, cuz she's selfish and wants him to be home all the time....

i listened to a bit of punk...mainly old stuff like Sex Pistols etc but i bought a PS one (yes that's right) off ebay last year, and it came with a game which had maxwell murder in the soundtrack. i was converted. they are one of the GREATEST bands in the world.

Everyone thinks that this is rancid and sublime or something. the truth is it is just rancid. the internet spread it around cause it sorta sounds like a sublime tune, but the 2 voices are just tim and lars of rancid.

Refuse a life controlled by Satan, fight back from that with love vibration
Pull out, division, racism, and schism; we gonna make 'em flee, run

A jrock (Japanese Rock) band did a cover of this song :P The band is called bis and unfortunately they'll be disband in Jan 2008.
Still, the band was good for all they made! I think they did a pretty good job of covering this song~

------ About the song Roots Radicals performed by Rancid
I know these lyrics are accurate but there is something between the 2nd chorus and the "yeah, yeah, yeah"s. It almost sounds like "alright rumble!!!" or something. If you think of what it is please post it! :) And Rancid and Green Day rox!
