1996. I was 12 (couple months shy of 13). I heard "Carousel" at a local skate spot. I was skateboarding with my friends when another group we didn't know showed up but they were cool. We were all skating/hanging out listening to some punk, I forget who I think it was The Offspring, when one of them asked if he could put a CD in our boom box. Yeah sure man. It was Cheshire Cat. I was hooked the moment I heard that bass solo intro and went and bought the CD the next day.

I don't sorry. It's an mp3 I got off the Internet in 2001 or 2002 that's been saved from hard drive to hard drive. I can still hook you up with it.

Really good way of putting it for California.

If you're interested I have their May 1st 1998 show at the Hollywood Palladium in LA. Just need to break the mp3 into separate tracks.... It's one big file. Waggy is in the setlist and Scott is drumming. I didn't notice it on your Bandcamp page.

I know. Fuck we have the Emema demos. I wish Dude Ranch demos would just surface. Someone, somewhere must have them.

Hey is it still possible to get the lossless rips of all three demos? I only have what's been on the Internet for years....

I really wish the Dude Ranch demos would surface.

I have a live show in mp3 from 1998 where they play "Waggy". It's this show: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/blink182/1998/hollywood-palladium-los-angeles-ca-53d46335.html

Totally. I used this username on the Warped Tour BBS back in 2000-2001. I thought I resurrect it here.

Agreed. I actually hate this record too (aside from 2 or 3 songs). I really don't think it's good, and I realize that's probably an unpopular opinion. Neighborhoods is awful too, and so is Dogs Eating Dogs. California could be better. It has some great songs on it, but Feldman ruined the record with the constant "na na na" and overproduction/autotuned vocals. But I don't hate California like I hate Untitled (I refer to it as self titled), Neighborhoods and Dogs Eating Dogs. But you hit the nail on the head. But if we really want to get technical, Box Car Racer was the beginning of the end and the point at which things changed forever (and not for better).

Hey I found that large Descendents sticker he has on the back on eBay. I just bought one for my TD strat. https://www.ebay.com/itm/DESCENDENTS-STICKER-LONG-11-5-x-3-NEW-LICENSED-SST-RECORDS/192633474365?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Newer years (as of 2014) aren't terrible. It's the hardware that's crummy in them (esp the bridges). Throw a Callahan bridge in one (and some locking tuners) and they're just fine.

If anyone needs the baby Milo sticker, since the Russian sticker pack doesn't have it. I found this online: https://ballzbeatz.com/product/descendents-milo-i-dont-wanna-grow-up-vinyl-decal-sticker/

I sorta agree with him. Communities tend to help one another, and I'm pretty sure most are willing to pay the person for that hard work. I know I am, but I also know it's their right to not share/make more/etc. Whatever.. I recently just made an account after years of just lurking,. Been following this thread closely, and since I lack graphics skills, for my build I'm starting in a few weeks, I have to go with the Reverb Russian sticker pack. It is what it is. I'm ok with it not being perfect since I have no way of making these stickers myself.
