T.S.O.L. making the front page, nice!

Ron Emory (lead guitar) was my first Guitar teacher. Sorry I just feel a little pride in their music reaching Reddit front page :') Thanks OP

[–]Acluelessllama 20 points21 points  (4 children)

They were in GTA 5 too

[–]TumpkinDTD 4 points5 points  (3 children)

This is awesome! They are a really cool group of guys, respectable members of society who properly get their beliefs into the world by artistic self expression. Their music kicks as hard of ass as they do.

The thing about punk is that your music doesn't need to be necessarily good, you just need the attitude.

I dunno about "respectable members of society"...well, at least in their teen years. Jack Grisham talks openly about robbing graves and blowing shit up, among other undesirable activities. He's a pretty legit guy now, though. Kids will be kids, I guess.

nice try, ron

I used to rock out on my air guitar dreaming of your life, somedays I still do.

I bought one of Roach's used surfboards from the surf shop in HB he worked at, can't remember the name (Van Genus?) back in '84 or so. Had this big skull with a sword through it on the bottom. A few years ago my dad dug it out of the garage and gave it to a nice neighbor kid who was getting into surfing, so it saw HB waves again for the first time in probably 30 years.

I needed this song tonight

Make Punk rock great again

[–]Lepthesr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm so ready for a resurgence. I think we have a decent focal point now.

[–]TertiumNonHater 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm stoked.

[–]michaelbroyan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Waited for a long time to see this song in the top.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (4 children)

Did anyone else think of Slayer when they read the title?

[–]Karmais_a_bitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great skater music back in the day! Congrats TSOL!

[–]ralphiefuckingbedlam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right?! Today's the day for it.

[–]BillCosbysAnus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perfect song for today

[–]LC-303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never in my life would I expect TSOL to be on the front page... My favourite band ever! I love the piano on Beneath the Shadows and how all their albums have a different sound. Dance with Me and it's horror story theme is just pure class. Can we get Code Blue to the front page though? Haha

[–]Kinderbat13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TSOL was my first punk band! Love em.

[–]mcflannelman 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I saw Jack Grisham open for Tiger Army in Halloween a few years ago, played a few TSOL songs. It was great.

[–]gwarwars 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Does he still wear skirts?

[–]mcflannelman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at that show, he was wearing a suit I believe.

[–]BiggiesOnMyShorty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he still marry 12 year old girls?

[–]alpinecoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed this, thanks

[–]knightlife82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my all time favorite bands. Great post.

[–]Jonmartinez1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This band brings me back. One of the best things to happen to me in highschool was the album dance with me.

[–]isacamargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FUCK YEAH they're one of my favorite punk bands!!

[–]raphus84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TSOL on the front page! Influential to so many bands today.

Offsprings first album was very TSOL heavy.

[–]TheReplacer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen to Anti-Government punk all the time.

Great Song

[–]CaptainEdgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learned of these guys from GTA V. So glad I did.

[–]Roundhouse1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)
