Lars doesn’t know this but I’ve met him a few times in my life when I wasn’t doing so good and each time his kindness and his music brought me back to what’s important. A genuine good dude
I have the same experience with Tim. He was walking on the buss and everyone was hounding him and I just said Tim and he turned around and was like what’s up man, and i was just told him how much he saved my life with his music and he was just grateful for my time
Saw them way back on the And Out Come the Wolves tour at Bogart's in Cincinnati. Really laid back awesome dudes. That was a hell of a show. I'll never forget it
Me and my best friend saw Lar's walking walking backstage backstage at warp tour in 1996 and he and I jumped over the barricades and ran over to him period of course security came running after us. And. And they grab both of us and and Lars said said these are my nephews F u's they're with me they're cool leave me alone. He gave us each a beer, introduced us to Stephen from Deftones & Rick Thorne, another childhood hero of ours. Soooo fuckin nice of him and it left a huge impact on us to this day 25 years later! I'm so happy Lara finally got a signature guitar but I'm disappointed Gibsin never came to the table with an offer for him. That was fucked up!
Every time I lose my shit it's Lars (and Tim) who bring me back out of the hole with their music and their insights. As a former street kid it hits me where I live.
Been a Rancid fan since I was 16 in 1996. I forget how much I have in common with Lars when hearing his life story, but he is just such a relatable dude. I spent a few years in my twenties DIY touring out, but eventually settled into tech as an engineer. I love my work. I bring my lessons from a life of punk rock with me to work everyday.
Just saw Rancid a few days ago outside Pittsburgh. Guys are still amazing live. It’s crazy to think out come the wolves came out 25 years ago! Timeless man truly timeless
Ahh I see him Monday in Pittsburgh I've been sick for a few years and seeing him my ultimate dream!! Lol been listening to him sin i was 14...I'm 42 rock on
Omg I was there at the Craft house ... I never post on any Medias or anyting but this I will I couldn't even take better take pictures cuz I cried out of sheer happiness and cldnt even take a pic It was Epic...I put surgery off to go lol omg ....ty my dude
That lollapalooza show with rancind,.ramones and Devo was my first show ever at Irvine amphitheater. I was 13. I remember the circle pits around bon fires. It was nuts.. but got me hooked on punk rock and still sportin my rancid shirts more than 20 years later!
great video, used to work at Epitaph in the 90's as graphic designer, worked on "out come the wolves", and a thousand other bands, met Joey Ramone a few times, the Cramps, used to drive Tim Armstrong to his home in LA from Epitaph studios to his place, and thats what what we did
Super inspiring! Love you Lars! What a mold! And buddy, i didn’t even know who you were before this but thanks for this gem. I’m a Longtime addict/alcoholic, but also a father, worker, survivor. That’s Rancid. So real AF! Thanks boys!!!
Just took my son to see Rancid he is the same age I was when I seen em first. He was going through some shit and this show was what he needed. I'm 42 he's 17 I took him to hi first mosh pit. I saw him through. He is also a wrestler I'm an Ironworker. I grew up a middle class street punk. Proud of it!
I'm on a Lars Frederiksen interview binge, I fucking love this man. Been listening to rancid since I was 12 and I've always wanted to hear him talk. Thanks so much for this, great show. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I hope I can get this to Lars. I did the same exact thing with my mom. She died 2 days after your mom 2020. She was 86 and I got to see her let go because she wanted to let go. It was peaceful and put so many things into a different perspective. I just thought I'd share that with you. Thank you. Abel.
I've met Lars after a Rancid concert at the Roxy. He was super cool to me. The dude is just a normal down to earth human being. I've become a super fan of his after this. I was already a fan, but talking to the man in person just showed me how much of an awesome human being he is. Long life to the Viking!
Just saw Rancid on their first date here in MN 2021 with DKM. So much love for this chat with Lars. He is so lovely. First part makes me laugh thinking of my rock star dad who hung out with some big bands at Warped way back when while young me was livin life. Great chat!
I am a 50 year old punk rock dad/musician of 35 years with a 4 year old and 14 year old as well. This interview was amazing! I connected to so much of their insights. 🤘❤️🇨🇦
@@jasonberezny9705 I want to echo that sentiment. As a single dad who has played music for almost 30 years, Lars talked about what matters in life... what really, really matters. Great show, Johnny.
Met Lars waaaaayyy back in the day, 1996. I was working security at a little club named “The Edge”, that no longer exists in FT. Lauderdale. Super down to earth guy. Totally genuine person.
I remember being at the premier of live freaky die freaky in sf. My little sister was in town for the first time, she had become a drummer after I left the east… we showed up and tickets were sold out.. Lars walks up and asks us if we were going inside.. we said we didn’t have tickets.. then he gives us his two extra tickets and she was able to get inside for the showing. Such A true guy! Making dreams come true
So what!!! They're doing it on there terms , it's not like Tim sold that song to climb some ladder and scratch someone's back..... He's lining his pockets on HIS terms.
Lars such a great guy! , loved the interview, so much sense in everything you talked about! Really resonated as a Musician, Father , and similar age. 🤘👍
Thanks to this, I found Lars' podcast. I've been a wrestling fan since the 80s, and a Rancid fan since Let's Go. HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT KNOW LARS HAS A WRESTLING PODCAST?!
I love Rancid. I first saw them in the UK on the wolves tour. I love listening to Lars talking about that moment with his son. Buying the vinyl and the fries. Ive been there with my son and done this. And it's a wonderful feeling to be able to relate what you know and love to your children. Big respect from Nottingham UK for this interview
I was at the Rancid and Dropkick Murphys show the other night in cincy with my brother. First show out since my son was born, he’s 17months now cuz well covid sucks. I FaceTimed him (yeah yeah I became that guy for a minute Lol!) and mom during Roots Radicals and the little dude was jamming and giggling instantly. I’ll remember that forever. It’s like you get to redo childhood and a second chance to make things right that sucked about it!
Lars we are the same age and taking my son to pick his first album and it excited me when he picked a rancid and smutpeddlers and I gave him the biggest hug
Lars is seriously the best interviewee on the planet. Such an interesting guy and a great storyteller! Check out Zetro's Toxic Vault interview with him next, also great!
Love the fact Lars pays for music I’m 51 and whenever I have extra money I pay for music that I love -I look forward to being more financially stable in the future so I can pay for music every chance I get . This guy knows was integrity means
My parents took me to see Vietnam, roger Merritt and the disasters, with lars frederickson and the bastards headlining I was 12 and it was my first show
Caught wind of your podcast after watching you and Tommy End (Malachai) interview and I’m glad to see you were able to meet up with Lars after all. You talking about the impact wrestling entrances had on you reminded me of when my older brother and I would play Wrestlemania 2000 on the 64. The audio cables didn’t work so would play whatever music we had on hand as the entrance music and waking the fallen was definitely the one we played the most. Now I just gotta go back and watch the rest of the interviews you’ve done!
Man, Ya'll are taking me back with this wrestling talk. I remember where you had to wait for that one night on Monday to watch, I also watched on a Saturday. But I also remember buying blank VHS tapes and you know, you would record Monday Night Raw on tape and you might catch something amazing that night. You just recorded maybe something extreme or dramatic happened that night and you watched it a few times that week.
Back in the day in Denver we had this show called Punk Tv. It was on late at night and I remember it was Lars or Tim crawling out of a Denver alley dumpster with a handful of Life Won't Wait albums. He said he wandered where they were all going. Lol. Good times.
such a fucken great show and man, i hear ya lars listening to sirius and shit you hated when it actually came out....sounded bollocks to me back in the 80's but now, wow, very special to me now
Firstly, when Rancid came out I thought I was too hardcore cause of being a punk in the OC scene starting in 84. Then I listened to AOCTWolves and was floored by how good it was. I've been a fan ever sense. Every one of their LPs kicks arse. I can't wait to hear what's next.
Lars rocked it in Minnesota a couple of weeks ago he was so cool after the show he stayed up on stage and interacted with this everyone passing out whatever he could find on stage
Great interview. No idea how I found this . Can't wait to see bands again. One of the best shows I ev er saw was Rancid at the Hollywood Paladium around 1995, 3 night gig Ithink, I went to them all.
quality interview/chat,top geezer Lars,i never forget a few year back outside millwall's football ground,waiting to go in at turnstiles i noticed this skinhead few feet in front of me,it was Lars!! he likes his football,over here in england he supports millwall,on one of his guitars he as the millwall badge on it(lion)....."no one likes us we dont care"
I saw Rancid and The Ramones at Lollapalooza in Pecatonica, Illinois..my brother gave me 2 tickets, that I still owe him 40 bucks for..I want to say it was 96.
I'll never forget how surprised I was when I shook Lars's hand... He had the softest hand I ever shook. I got my picture taken with him and he signed my shirt and ticket stub... I still have them..
I never got into Rancid but I absolutely recognize and respect their place in not only punk rock but music history. That said, I didn’t know Lars was such a big wrestling fan until I saw him pop up on Punk’s BITW doc but the dude is fucking legit when it comes to knowing his wrestling history and I just thought that was so cool because of how parallel punk rock and wrestling are to one another.
Killer. Seen Lars on this show, on No Fuckin Regrets with Robb Flynn (Machinehead) and also on Zetros Toxic Vault (Zetro Souza of Exodus). Such a great dude.
@@kevinnickel7529 yeah good dude. I don’t agree with all his opinions - but at least he puts some brains behind his opinions and has some rationale for it. Unlike so many Americans - particularly those who are Fox News viewers.
I was at a Rancid gig here in Italy in 96. It was a small club not more than 2000 people and one of the best shows in my life. They played all the wolves album it was crazy
I listened to it every day in my car in 95 while delivering pizza. I got a speeding ticket because I was blasting it so loud that I couldn't hear my radar detector.
@@sh0tgunsteve ha ha ha ,got it! I bought it in CD way back ,re bought on vinyl 5 years ago and have had on my phone(s) for a long time ,having a walk or go skating ,it's the perfect soundtrack. I once got a question ,the perfect album? To me this is it
Saw them last week in Cincinnati, great show. Long time fan, just wish they would play more of their good ska tracks, like daly city, heart of gold, I wanna riot etc. Also pre- OCTW songs where tim actually plays lol.
Taking care of a parent at the end of their time is a traumatic experience. It sucks but my dad would have done the same for me and I'm glad we had that time together.
I found an art gallery where the artists work together. They help each other sell paintings, promote each other and hang out in circles to support other musicians. It's called Deep Ellum Art Company. Like Jesse said, "the more we keep competing, the more the battle's just begun" then again, it isn't anyones fault that thousands of years worth of social programming happened to them.
STILL HAVENT GOTTEN TO SEE RANCID!!! I was a C*NT HAIR AWAY FROM SEEING LFB!!!! They were like the 1st or 2nd band to play at the ONLY WARPED TOUR I WENT TO!!! The gates too soooooo long to let us in! I missed their set! Cane in on the last 2 songs of ANTI-FLAG! another hand I havent seen before!!! Got to see BxSx (Bouncing Souls) I'd seen them many o' times! It was that early and they were already wasted but sounded just as amazing as their CDs. Saw Tiger Army, I'd seen them play a few times! And then walked around cause the bands playing for a while were blehh. Ran into Justin Sane from A-F. Got him to sign my ticket and he hit on me soooo hard! Wrote XOXO On my ticket also. Got to see Groovy Ghoulies at the side SPACE set stage that was loose 2 feet off the ground! Was like 25 of us standing there! They were amazing!!! I still gotta see RANCID!!! Or just LFB!!! This was such an amazing interview! Im sending it to all my friends on fB messenger and told my bro! "You gotta check it out! Its sooooo RAD!" Hes a dad and obsessed with Wrastlin so he'll totally dig it!! So rad! Def got my Like, sub and even a comment!!!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘😎🍻🍻💚🖤💚🖤💚 PUNX 4 life!!✊✊🤘
Awesome channel just discovered it. You should try and get Jerry Only on the show and talk punk rock and his short lived professional wrestling career.
Fuck. I just found this channel and I had such a crush on these two back in the day. I met both of them a long long time ago and they were both really cool dudes. There's still a part of me that has that crush, not even gonna lie.
great interview! i dont want this to come off in a bad way either but i was never really a AS fan before but after this i want to go back and listen to some of their stuff again and give it a 2nd chance
Excellent interview Rancid and all the bands you are in are my heroes your lyrics are my life and I love it you fuckers make me whole 🤘keep 🔥up the stage and married to the sea

Rancid has absolutely saved my life several times. I would get in the car and talk to the stereo. "please take me away". i get it.

Some of those old rancid shirts were dope! I had a black and white one with a dude with mohawk and boots on someone stole it
Saw Rancid at Madison Square Garden with the Misfits and The Damned.......THEY WERE LIGHTS OUT!!!! BEST SHOW EVER🤘
Life Won't Wait is still one of my favorite albums, I never stopped listening to it, I saw them live in 1998 for that tour with Hepcat as the opener
Great conversation. Totally rad graphics matching the Rancid cover lettering. Fucking brilliant. Cheers 🙏
Super inspiring! Love you Lars! What a mold! And buddy, i didn’t even know who you were before this but thanks for this gem. I’m a Longtime addict/alcoholic, but also a father, worker, survivor. That’s Rancid. So real AF! Thanks boys!!!

I met Lars a long time ago in Haight Ashbury. He looked out for me. Forever grateful.
Dude killed it last night in Massachusetts and I can't even tell you how awesome it was
I flew there from FL. Greatfucking show
Outdoor Punk Shows at the Palladium are awesome. Saw Rancid twice in Worcester.
This was so good! Love Lars and RANCID and been lucky enough to see and meet them before. Great people
One of my favourite episodes to date! Definitely gonna have to check out Lars’ episode with yourself now 🤘🏽

Lars is such a cool dude. Awesome interview
Rancid are awsome one of the best concerts I've been to.
It’s quite incredible how Rancid as a band just gel. The front duo of Lars and Tim is the best in music history imo. And… they never sold out!
Are you kidding Tim is a major sell out. He literally sold a transplants song to a shampoo commercial shall I continue?
@@dwaynehollins735 that’s why I said “Rancid”. 👍🏻
So what!!! They're doing it on there terms , it's not like Tim sold that song to climb some ladder and scratch someone's back..... He's lining his pockets on HIS terms.
Tim is the richest homeless guy in the world.
If having Kelly Osbourne in your video isn’t selling out I don’t know what is.
Hearing a punk rocker tell kid stories is about as wholesome as it gets
Band I was in was on the same bill as Rancid touring their debut album back in '93, Brighton, UK. Love Rancid.
nice one mate,what was your band called?.did yer just do that gig in brighton with rancid or did you do others with them around the UK
What band was it?
Lars such a great guy! , loved the interview, so much sense in everything you talked about! Really resonated as a Musician, Father , and similar age. 🤘👍
"Let's Go" has always been my fav RANCID album.
Thanks to this, I found Lars' podcast. I've been a wrestling fan since the 80s, and a Rancid fan since Let's Go. HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT KNOW LARS HAS A WRESTLING PODCAST?!
What's the name of it plez n tganx
Saw Rancid friday in NH. A pit broke out and pushed me right to the front of the stage like I hoped! Such a great band somewhat underappreciated imo.
I was at that show as well! Rancid fuckin brought it hard that night! Love that they are still kickin ass! Great show!
I love Rancid. I first saw them in the UK on the wolves tour. I love listening to Lars talking about that moment with his son. Buying the vinyl and the fries. Ive been there with my son and done this. And it's a wonderful feeling to be able to relate what you know and love to your children. Big respect from Nottingham UK for this interview
I was at the Rancid and Dropkick Murphys show the other night in cincy with my brother. First show out since my son was born, he’s 17months now cuz well covid sucks.

Dude, what a great interview, I loved to hear the realization of what's truly important for Lars... Thanks for sharing! Hope to see he back soon :)
Lars we are the same age and taking my son to pick his first album and it excited me when he picked a rancid and smutpeddlers and I gave him the biggest hug
And my son turns 30 this year
Lars is seriously the best interviewee on the planet. Such an interesting guy and a great storyteller! Check out Zetro's Toxic Vault interview with him next, also great!
and the turned out a punk interview with damien from fucked up......
Love the fact Lars pays for music I’m 51 and whenever I have extra money I pay for music that I love -I look forward to being more financially stable in the future so I can pay for music every chance I get .
This guy knows was integrity means
Oh yeah, Johnny!!! Another great interview!!! Thanks for making these pandemic times a lot better!
Dont you mean plandemic?
This was an incredibly insightful interview, I'm really glad that I listened to it.
giving Lars a bunch of GBH cassettes for free is one of my favorite memories of my record store life.
Great interview!! Upcoming tour...A7X NOFX RANCID 😉
My parents took me to see Vietnam, roger Merritt and the disasters, with lars frederickson and the bastards headlining I was 12 and it was my first show

Wow Lars was very insightful and wise here. Work hard at your passion, worry about and care for those close to you, the rest will handle itself.
I saw Rancid and The Ramones at Lollapalooza in Pecatonica, Illinois..my brother gave me 2 tickets, that I still owe him 40 bucks for..I want to say it was 96.
Usually at the warptours in the 90's NOFX is making fun of rancid. Rancid is making fun of NOFX. Fun time's.
It was 96 I went to the Syracuse NY show ..it was the Ramones final tour
I'll never forget how surprised I was when I shook Lars's hand... He had the softest hand I ever shook. I got my picture taken with him and he signed my shirt and ticket stub... I still have them..

I don't think you guys understand how rare this is rancid doesn't really ever do press so this is the shit
I met Lars a few times at shows in the 90s as a stoked fucked up kid and I just thought it was sick that he paid attention. Solid dude.

Dudes, thank you for this interview!
I was at a Rancid gig here in Italy in 96. It was a small club not more than 2000 people and one of the best shows in my life. They played all the wolves album it was crazy
When you said they played all Life won't wait? You actually mean the whole record???
Ive listened to “out came the” at least once a week on average since -95 ,still blows my mind
I listened to it every day in my car in 95 while delivering pizza. I got a speeding ticket because I was blasting it so loud that I couldn't hear my radar detector.
@@sh0tgunsteve ha ha ha ,got it!
I bought it in CD way back ,re bought on vinyl 5 years ago and have had on my phone(s) for a long time ,having a walk or go skating ,it's the perfect soundtrack.
I once got a question ,the perfect album?
To me this is it
i'm a very late gen x kid (born in 1980), in the middle of nowhere illinois. in the midwest, goddamn do i feel this man's words.
as an addendum to my own shit, how do you get old in punk rock? how do you get old being a rebel?
Loved this video. Loved all the conversations. ❤🤘
So down to earth and cool.Lars is great.
Saw them last week in Cincinnati, great show. Long time fan, just wish they would play more of their good ska tracks, like daly city, heart of gold, I wanna riot etc. Also pre- OCTW songs where tim actually plays lol.
Idea for a drinking game: take a shot every time Jonny mentions the Warped Tour
😝👊🍻
Great show in Cincy last week.....
I was at that show with my father that was such a great time
Lars you rock ...... Rancid 👊,my favorite band .
NYC SKUNX ..... DMS !!!!
Taking care of a parent at the end of their time is a traumatic experience. It sucks but my dad would have done the same for me and I'm glad we had that time together.
Awesome episode...love this podcast
Some legit life lessons right here ! Lars is real as fuck everyone could take something from this interview. Great job johnny
Nice discussion! Listening from Manila.
Awesome podcast. Awesome guys.
I first saw Rancid in 96' at Lollapalooza when I was 18. Last week I took my son who is now 19 to see them. Perspective.
Wow - that’s a killer story dude
Loving this interview! Love Lars!
I found an art gallery where the artists work together. They help each other sell paintings, promote each other and hang out in circles to support other musicians. It's called Deep Ellum Art Company. Like Jesse said, "the more we keep competing, the more the battle's just begun" then again, it isn't anyones fault that thousands of years worth of social programming happened to them.
Great interview👍
Love his take on life
Dude, I was 17, at that warped tour in boise!
STILL HAVENT GOTTEN TO SEE RANCID!!!
I was a C*NT HAIR AWAY FROM SEEING LFB!!!! They were like the 1st or 2nd band to play at the ONLY WARPED TOUR I WENT TO!!! The gates too soooooo long to let us in! I missed their set! Cane in on the last 2 songs of ANTI-FLAG! another hand I havent seen before!!!
Got to see BxSx (Bouncing Souls) I'd seen them many o' times! It was that early and they were already wasted but sounded just as amazing as their CDs. Saw Tiger Army, I'd seen them play a few times! And then walked around cause the bands playing for a while were blehh.
Ran into Justin Sane from A-F. Got him to sign my ticket and he hit on me soooo hard! Wrote XOXO On my ticket also.
Got to see Groovy Ghoulies at the side SPACE set stage that was loose 2 feet off the ground! Was like 25 of us standing there! They were amazing!!!
I still gotta see RANCID!!! Or just LFB!!!
This was such an amazing interview! Im sending it to all my friends on fB messenger and told my bro! "You gotta check it out! Its sooooo RAD!"
Hes a dad and obsessed with Wrastlin so he'll totally dig it!!
So rad!

I just found ur channel this is amazing great 👍 work!!! 🤘🤘
Lars is sooo damn cool... awesome interview
Awesome channel just discovered it. You should try and get Jerry Only on the show and talk punk rock and his short lived professional wrestling career.
Fuck. I just found this channel and I had such a crush on these two back in the day. I met both of them a long long time ago and they were both really cool dudes. There's still a part of me that has that crush, not even gonna lie.
LARS FOR PRESIDENT
Trump won
Wine and Roses, Lars thanks for saving my life one night in Cincinnati.

Excellent interview Rancid and all the bands you are in are my heroes your lyrics are my life and I love it you fuckers make me whole 🤘keep 🔥up the stage and married to the sea
Lars is a HERO!
Lars is a fucking legend !!! Love this guy !!!
Why not Lars Frederiksen from Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards? Love Rancid but his band Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards is so good.
So underrated..the whole band...
I was born in 1971. 50 year old hardcore kids report!
Rancid played with DEVO? Kickass!
Great interview! Side note: Lars kinda reminds me of Duane Peters.
Seems like a much nicer guy than DP though.
