I am just wondering about the dates listed as the formation of the band Operation Ivy? You list them as starting in 1987. I know my band opened for them in June of 1986. We were called Porcelain God. It was a small garage party in Chico, CA. We literally played out of a garage to about 30 or 40 drunk skate punks and assorted others. The show was at Penny Voekel's house, and Operation Ivy and Crimpshrine both played. I thought they shared some members in common too? I believe Matt used to visit Chico quite a bit back then, as he was friends with my friend Nicole Montalbano. That also translated into an exodus of many of us visiting Berkeley and going to shows at Gilman Street! I just wanted to share this little tidbit of ancient history! If anybody has input on this and wants to contact me my e-mail address is lucky13lance69@hotmail.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.59.17 (talk • contribs) 03:19, 21 December 2003
- Hi lucky13lance69! You know way more than I do... feel free to edit the article! Maybe it is not very interesting to "the whole world" who has been friend of whom, but I miss a lot of information on subjects like MRR, Gilman Street, and so on. Please Log In on Wikipedia and share your knowledge! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diftong (talk • contribs) 21:15, 22 December 2003
- PS: I did not start the article. It was somebody, who vandalized a lot of things in Wikipedia. I think I saved the OpIvy-Music part from being deleted... --Diftong 21:15, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Operation Ivy did in fact start in 1987. You probably played for Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman's pre-Operation Ivy band Basic Radio. There is proof of their beginings in the Rancid song Journey to the End where Tim says "Started in '87, ended in '89"-Zman48
I like the fact that there is a sound clip available, but "Bad Town" isn't the best example. Tim sings lead vocals on this track, whereas Jesse normally provides the lead vocals. It's also the only Op Ivy track with a saxophone. I'd suggest "Sound System" or "Here We Go Again" as better examples.

I agree.How do you do it?

[edit] Jesse in Nicaragua
That's not apocryphal; he did spend time there.
[edit] Off Lookout! Records?
operationivy.com reported that the band met in February of 2006, and that their Lookout! releases are, as of April 2006, showing up as unavailable on the LookoutRecords site. Given the fairly recent Green Day fiasco, resulting in Green Day pulling their previous albums due to alleged nonpayments of royalties, it seems fairly likely Operation Ivy has now done the same. Presumably, we will shortly see a re-release of at least the primary Op Ivy album on a new label. (None of this has been confirmed by the band or the label, so this is more of a heads-up than a suggestion for changes to the main page.) Davebug 05:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Operation Ivy is not an Oi! band
what the hell. Burndownthedisco talk 18:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hedgecore
no, hedgecore should probably no be merged with the article on Operation Ivy. Actually Hedgecore should be merged with an article about the "new sports" or new activities which musicians and artist often engage in. Actually there was a full story about this phenomenon in Thursday's (06/22/06) Chicago Tribue spotlighting a group of people who are playing urban golf, the chiditarod cart race, and urban capture the flag. (Xsxex 14:22, 23 June 2006 (UTC))
Well, how about we merge it but keep the article the way it is seperately and put see Hedgecore article. (Spliff200 12:39, 26 June 2006
[edit] Discography
The discography is missing the "Plea for Peace" 7", none of which was on the Energy re-release. I would edit it, but my 7" is boxed up and I don't really even know where it is now. I'll look around the net a bit. Dlmccaslin 01:31, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I found a listing on the Net and listed it in the Disco., and I made a page for it. I'm still pretty new to this, so if anyone wants to take a look and leave a message on my talk page, I'd really appreciate it. Dlmccaslin 01:55, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Genre
Ska-punk and Ska-core both point to the same page. (This edit was me) -Aioth 14:52, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image
Unless I'm mistaken, the image in the infobox is not actually the cover of the Energy LP, but the cover of the self-titled anthology album that was released in 1991. The cover for the Energy LP can be seen here, though I'm not sure how to go about securing its use for Wikipedia. Tdogg241 20:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge with '69 Newport (album)
Under WP:MUSIC albums with little more than a track listing should be merged with the parent group. JASpencer (talk) 16:38, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BadTown.ogg
Image:BadTown.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
