Rancid covers sxdx

Haaaaa!!!! That is f*%#ING FUNNY!

Is that Matt Freeman that sings the second half of the "Good Ridenance/ Story Of My Life" medley? It does not sound like him. The "Good Rid" song sounds like Matt and the Social D. part sounds like someone else. I'm soo glad that Matt Freeman is not in Social Distortion anymore. A great bass player he is indeed, but the poor guy cannot sing! I heard that that is what bothered Mike Ness the most. He had problems harmonizing with Ness and Wickersham. Cheers to Brent Harding for being the best bassist Social Distortion has ever had!!

I'll raise my coffee mug to that, Cole. I gotta agree with you yet again about Harding being the best of the bassists. Matt Freeman is a madman, a genius and simply the greatest punk rock bass player ever, but that was definately the last thing Social D needed. So, yes, Cheers indeed!

If my memory serves me, Lars sang "Story..."
I went back to give it another listen but it was gone (replaced by hilarity!), but, yeah, if the vocals of a Rancid song are neither slurred nor grunted it's definately Lars doing the singing.

I really think Lars is a good singer and a pretty good player as well. I really prefer the Rancid tunes where he sings. Tim Armstrong sounds better on certain songs. Occasionally it sounds like he chugged a big gulp of Turkey and someone threw him a mike. Otherside was a pretty good song from Indestructible.

Thanks Pain and others for continuing the intelligent conversation on this topic! I think everyone deserves the right to speak there mind, and I hope my outburst was taken as toward the person that calls themself "god" on this message board, and not the God that others on here hold dear.

Not to be a dick, but it was kinda buggin me...
It's Little Sammy (The War's End).

The Bastards did "To Have And To Have Not" on their first album and it was niiice.
I've got a version of Rancid doing it in Nottingham circa 2003 and it's about the same.
