Anti-Flag
 

apparently a bunch of people like em on here...so what's your favorite song by them? mine is "seattle was a riot"

They have so many songs I like ... but my favorite song is probably "You can kill the protester, but you can't kill the protest." That song "r0xx0Rs" (nerd talk)

Do people like their "The Terror State" album?

To me "The Terror State" was the best album.. The songs lyrics are totally great, and send great messages, and the songs sound awsome ... It comes with a stencil so you can spray paint a pic of Dubya with the words "One Term President" under him.

I just heard a song by theirs and I really liked it. It's the first song of theirs that I've heard, though. The name of it is "Angry, Young and Poor".

Yeah, The Terror State is their best, coming from lyrical and music wise. I think it's so so so good, I listen to it at least once a day. Everysong is superb. Mobilize is a great cde, and so is a new kind of army. They are all good, back to the first. It's funny cuz they hate everyone...hehe.

Crap band, crap new cd, I hope they fall off a bridge.

I only have heard "Drink Drank Punk" so im gonna have to find some more and give them a listen... :)

Everyone has their own opinion.... I think they are great lyrically and musically... Depending on my mood, I like either their new stuff or old stuff...

wow jack, you have a terrible opinion on music. I hope you fall off of a bridge after you finish ______(insert verb here) your mom. Oh, and stop posting on this forum.

Terrible opinion on music? Anti-Flag are an absolutely brutal band who do nothing except preach preach preach about how George Bush oppresses people. Guess what, no one ****ing cares except your white, middle class, suburban "punk" fans. Hitler was a better person than Justin Sane. :)

ever heard of demographics, i didn't think so. I also like how you " " the word "punk". Are you implying that you are punk and that we are not? Because if that is the case, then you just did a fine job of contridicting yourself. And as far as preaching, you seem to do a fine job of damning anti-flag. Nobody wants to argue about music in this forum, but someone has to keep out dumbasses like yourself, who go around being some kind of an elitist in a genre of music you know nothing about, from expressing their ignorant, conservative opinions in a mostly unintelligent/embarrasing way.

p.s. The Hitler comparison may be a little over the top. But then again, i'm not surprised.

A genre of music I know nothing about? I've sang in punk bands, gone to an uncountable number of punk shows, own dozens of punk albums I'm sure you've never even heard of on vinyl, blah blah blah. Please don't tell me I know nothing about punk music - I just know how to discriminate the good from the crap.

And I "" the word punk because Anti-Flag does not play to PUNKS. I know punks - they're people who are and have been heavily into the punk scene for years, people who do what little they can to keep the spirit of real punk alive, something Anti-Flag will never be able to lay claim to.

I don't try and jam myself into one genre, either; I'm a big fan of rap music, but I'll still throw on my Anti-Heros LP's every once in a while for kicks, so don't tell me that I'm an elitist. I just hate bull**** fake music like Anti-Flag, and I hate bull**** fakes like you.

fakes like me eh? and I'm the one listening to rap huh? and anti-flag is new school huh? because they haven't been around since 1988. and for your info, im 19 and have been listeing to punk since 14. I've been to plenty of shows and own plenty of vinyl. And the fake music thing, what makes them fake? They believe in something and they sing about it. Big deal. I didn't know that makes you fake. 50cent sings about getting shot all the time, does that make him fake. Country people sing about booze all the time, does that make them fake? apparently so. Anyway, have a good time critizing everyone, because you are in fact the only informed person on the internet.

I don't see how listening to rap makes me fake; Biggie has a hell of a lot more credibility that Anti-Flag. And yes, being the only informed person on the internet is pretty cool.

No more personal attack here, please. I don't want to have to remove this thread. Keep it on topic without attacking each other.

Bout time Rocka this was getting ugly...I was thinking "Where's the Mods"

*wants to be the next mod on this forum*
*farts on both jack and ban*
since you are now obviously experienced at sharing (my fart) with each other, please share your opinions NICELY. Could you also apply that to the other thread where you guys are talking about this?

Aside from everything happening above me... I saw Anti-Flag last night, and they were super. Seattle Was a Riot is my favorite song too, that song along with the movie Mr. Smith Goes to Washington got me into politics.

:offtopic: Damn great movie! ;)

Anti-Flag is not about preaching as some might think, they are more about informing anyone who is willing to listen about their idead and stuff..

Yet again I'm late in posting...

They aren't to talented musicaly. Andy Flag was a better bassist than #2... But "The Terror State" was a great cd, lyrically. Alot of they're messages are very one sided and biased. They claim to be very fair and unhateful, and yet they are very spiteful towards president Bush...I'm not for him at all, but sorta Hypcritical. I still like them alot, don't get me wrong...but they should be listened to with alert minds. They'll brainwash just like the Conservatives and Liberals they are so against will.

They don't really claim to be "unhatefull" (not hatefull). They are active in what they speak about and set out to change things they don't like. They definitly hate Bush and everything he stands for (dishonesty, trickery, religious, conservative) but they aren't going to be violent about it. They are about expressing their beliefs in a peaceful way: their music. Even if it may not be the most peaceful message. :-)

my favourite ant-flag song is "you've gott die for your government" its a good song and its got a good purpose and truth to it.

Anti-Flag
 

What do you think of them...I think they are a great band!

A New Kind of Army was a really good album. Lately though I tend to stay away from punk, especially politically driven punk because I'm sick of politics in general and wish to not think about it :)

^ Amen Brother.

I know its a good message but honestly there are only so many times you can sing about one same thing and make it not boring..

Yea they do sing mostle about politics, and not so much on their earlier albums, but now with everything going on in the world and them being a political punk band, I guess they feel the need to sing about how they feel, about everything that is going on :D anyway they are my favorite band, and I like pretty much all their albums... Die for the Government wasnt the greatest but I think it was awesome..

^agreed. Anti-Flag rocks out hard! I don't know about all that boring buisness, but to each is own, right? Anyway, they are on Warped Tour, so that is reason enough to go. Oh, and Moblize's avitar kicks ass.

i must agree anti flag is the greatest band ever, very political and political for good purposes

Yeah, its a good purpose but I cant really get into something like that... its too mono-focused...no variety..

It's not necessarily mono-focused. If put into the political spectrum, they encomppas many areas of politics. However, you are very right when you say that they just sing about politics (used here as a broad term). So I guess I agree and disagree with you.

I don't agree with them alot, but Drink Drank Punk, Safe Tonight, Die For Government, Mind The G.A.T.T., Kill The Rich, No More Dead, Confused Youth, This Is Not A Crass Song, Right On, and the like are classic punk songs

Yer i like Anti-Flag!! i love one of their songs but don't know what song it is, can you guyz help me???
these are the lyrics "don't go killing..........."um yer can you help???

beats me... im different from everyone else i suppose because i just cant listen to anti flag.. theres something about them i hate and i cant figure out what but i dunno.. i just dont like them

I'm a lil high right now and thats the craziest effin thing i have ever read

Well propaganda is all over because there isnt one truth but many opinions. I would rather be brainwashed by a group like anti-flag than Mr. Bush. Yes they are hateful of him, so what, so am I. Why not be hateful after all the Iraqi children and parents killed in this recent conflict. I would be damn suicidal if I was probably one of them. Its the people who have nothing to lose that are the most dangerous.

As for Music. I dont know much about talent or no talent, I tried to play the guitar and I have one, but it takes alot of time that i dont have and I would rather be organizing protest groups than practicing. They make my head bob and I love the lyrics and tone he expresses them in. Oh and to that wannabe rapper dude earlier, I dont know what he is talking about. Just because you go to shows of some talentless groups doesnt make you a certain "type" and doesnt make you part of something or would you want ot be anyways. I just dont see how praising someone with an ignorant nick name like "biggie" makes you go far in life.

Great, great, great, great! Good stuff for sure, one of my fav. punk bands. Love message, love the music!

how many messages do I have to send till I get a little image icon? I noticed all the moderators get their icons... Do you get to name ur status too? EMOderator seems modified, lol.

yeah
