text: Just because people sometimes have the same last name (like Williams, Johnson, Jones or Smith), doesn't mean they're actually related. Like for example: MxPx's Mike Herrera also has the same last name as the drummer from Suicidal Tendencies, but does that mean they could be related as well? Alex 03:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

message: This makes no sense
(the 2003 follow-up album Indestructible was released by Warner Bros. Records where the band continue to be signed to this day.**) Rancid's 2003 album Indestructible was released under Hellcat Records. While Warner Bros. Records were responsible for distribution of this album. Rancid never actually signed to Warner Bros. Records.
So Indestructible was:
1. Released by Warner Bros
2. Released under Hellcat but distributed by Warner Bros
and Rancid:
1. are currently signed to Warner Bros
2. have never been signed to Warner Bros
If I've interpretted this incorrectly, perhaps it needs to be reworded.

message: I removed the comment about selling out in reference to their recording songs with Good Charlotte and Kelly Osbourne.  Regardless of our personal feelings on occurrences such as this, this is a violation of NPOV.  Stick to the facts.
Also, sources need to be cited on the reasons as to why Frederiksen collapsed on stage in August 2006.  As of yet, I found nothing that positively asserted that drugs were related to it, so I've tagged those lines with citations needed, and I will remove those if no one is able to prove that assertion.

message: 27.12.08 Jack Lewis
I think Pop Punk should not be listed as one of Rancid's music genres because...
The Calafornian punk bands Rancid, The Offspring and Green-Day were credited with popularising punk music in America. The Offspring and Green-Day started off their music careers producing decent punk music. After a while Offspring and Green-Day signed off their record labels and began to produce more 'Pop-Punk' music, with slower songs and singers who could actually sing. They began to play very large venues charging an arm and a leg for tickets. Rancid are the only band of the three who stayed doing what they have always done, producing punk music and playing reasonably fast and angry songs to a couple of hundred fans who spent £15 on a ticket and £10 if that for a T-shirt. I cannot see any elements of Rancid that are at all 'pop'. 
Please consider changing this and if not please let me know your reasons for listing Pop Punk as a genre of Rancid. I don't know why I feel so strongly about this and bothered to write this. anyway, it's an otherwise wicked article.
Thanks

message: I don't see any aspects of Alternative Rock (as it has become known as) in Rancid.
I understand that Alternative is an umbrella term for bands that don't fit into popular genres, but that's what we call them punk for. They have a genre.
I personally think of those overplayed 80's/90's bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Dinosaur Jr., and Jane's Addiction.
Wikipedia defines Alternative as "a genre of rock music that emerged in the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s. Alternative rock consists of various subgenres that have emerged from the independent music scene since the 1980s, such as grunge, Britpop, gothic rock, and indie pop."
I also understand that the next sentence mentions coming from punk, but Rancid has stayed clear of the standard and (In my own opinion, don't freak out) quite frankly boring alternative rock genre.
So I personally think removing Alternative Rock from their genre list would be appropriate. -originalskankster-76.23.248.238 (talk) 04:50, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Rancid is not pop-punk BECAUSE: by the time Rancid emerged as a major force, around 1994-96, the term had been clearly defined as being the name of a sound, a look and an attitude, e.g. the Offspring, Blink, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan (yes, the last two came later). Rancid did not have this sound, this look or this ideology. They are a throwback to original 1977 punk and the British OI punk of the early-1980s (e.g. Cock Sparrer, Cockney Rejects, The Business and especially the first demo by The Business, which is very melodic, e.g. play the song 'Streets where you live' which is on YouTube). You can be melodic without being pop-punk. Modern bands in this OI style are Booze and Glory and Evil Conduct and, from the Czech Republic, Saints'N'Sinners and Haymaker. I would call Rancid 'street-punk' and would accept 'OI' too. 
One further point is that many people say that 'the Clash and Ramones are pop-punk' (and therefore so are Rancid). This makes little sense as the pop-punk label was not being used then and most very early bands had melodic singing and guitar parts, including the Sex Pistols and Sham 69. They cant all be pop-punk. I say Dropkick Murphys are also street-punk and not pop-punk despite being melodic. (NOFX and MXPX are more borderline but I would probably say no for the former.) I suggest we remove pop-punk from Rancid descriptor box.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.22.189.80 (talk) 18:16, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
