By this point in the playlist of Let the Bad Times Roll, listeners should know that The Offspring is a conscious band, i.e. one who is mindful of the prevailing issues of the day. And when it comes to regularly producing bad news, few regions are as consistent as the Middle East. This is something which caught Dexter Holland’s notice, particularly when it comes to the actions of the infamous ISIS. And that is the matter he is dealing with on “Hassan Chop”.
Those familiar with the titular term would know that it actually comes from an old Bugs Bunny cartoon. It is the catchphrase of a character named Hassan, which he utilizes whenever he sets about trying to cut a thief (i.e. Daffy Duck) to bits. And as the name of the... (Continues)

Come Out and Play (Keep 'Em Separated)
La canzone affronta il problema delle pistole e della violenza delle gang giovanili dentro i campus universitari.
You gotta keep `em separated deriva da un fatto accaduto a Dexter Holland quando lavorava in un laboratorio di biotecnologia: doveva far sviluppare dei batteri per alcuni test ma questi si mischiavano e lui doveva tenerli separati. Da questo "I've gotta keep'm separated" è arrivata la frase nella canzone
« Getting weapons with the greatest of ease The gangs stake out campus locale. »

Song Itineraries:
Weapons: our daily home war
Hammerhead
[2008]
Lyrics and music by Offspring
Testo e musica di Offspring
Album: "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace"
The Offspring - primarily Dexter Holland and Noodles Wasserman is a west coast punk band that has achieved mainstream success consistently since the mid 1980s. The band's latest outing, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, is in my opinion, one of their strongest records. This is the Offspring in full force, harking back to the a lot of the earlier work. There is no goofy stuff here. The songs are urgent, well thought out and frankly, good.
Frantic guitar playing, staccato drumming, catchy hooks, a driving riffs basically fill the record. These are not simplistic 3 chord punk songs, but really much better arrangements. There is variety of urgency, mood and tone.
The highlight of the album is Hammerhead - an anti war song sung from the point of view of a soldier. The Offspring avoid cliches... (Continues)

Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?
[2008]
Album "Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace"
"Kristy is about sexual coercion/molestation and is based on a true story. When I was younger, I knew a girl that was abused. I don't know whether I am the first musician to write about this subject, because it is obviously very delicate and anything but easy to make a song about such a complex theme. I also think or hope that this song speaks to other victims and can help them to talk or come out about their problem"

Song Itineraries:
Child Abuse
Kill The President
Da "The Offspring" debut album uscito su vinile nel 1989, rieditato su cd nel 1995 e poi di nuovo nel giugno 2001... ma il brano in questione è stato espunto dall'ultima edizione, certamente per ragioni di "opportunità politica" (anche se non c'è nessuna relazione con l'11 settembre)...
Però dovrebbero spiegarci gli Offspring perchè uccidere il presidente andava bene con Bush Senior e non più con Bush Junior...Forse la fama e i soldi nel frattempo accumulati hanno ridotto 'sti alternatives a più miti consigli?!?)

The censored version of Splinter contains an instrumental version of the song, with a clarinet taking place of the vocals.
The song is played an an old 20th century LP. The quality and background noise is the same of that as an LP from the 50’s.
Dexter also sounds very different than normal, as this isn’t even a rock song, but an old 50’s ballad, in which Dexter sings with a soft voice.
