tim armstrong is great replacement… they could have gone with a lot worse.. IMHO Rancid were a perfectly acceptable successor to the clash. listening to tim's solo album right now and it's on par with strummers solo stuff.

I actually agree and well, Tim and Joe were friends I do believe. I mean Joe Strummer's other band were signed to the same label as Rancid. I think Joe would find it as a touching tribute.

I agree too; Tim Armstrong absolutely kicks ass. And Rancid have always been very reminiscent of the Clash…Armstrong constantly talks about his love for the group and how much they have influenced him, so why not?

Awesome.

It's not that I don't like Tim Armstong or anything and I think he'd do as well a job filling in as could be expected, but this sounds kinda awful to me. I mean why couldn't they have just done this when joe was still alive?

I agree. Though I have no idea who this Rancid band is.

I think Shane MacGowan should return the favor seeing as Joe Strummer filled in for him with the Pogues! ;)

as an alum of BU, i can assure you there that BU has an abnormally high percentage of hotties. i practically needed blinders to make it from building to building. me = grad student = feeling like a dirty old man on a daily basis. i'm of the opinion that mankie's daughter must be attractive, based on her choice of school. boston college, on the other hand…
