MAJOR FUCKING COMPLICATIONS JAMES!

[badcanadian]

Good tune.

[Ghefly]

that's the coolest brass section I've ever seen lol

[itslasher1]

Never seen/been to a ska show, huh? Check out Streetlight Manifesto.

[987657654321]

Streetlight manifesto = best fuckin band ever

[itslasher1]

Definitely my favorite band.

[987657654321]

RAR era against me! is right up there though

[Rilliden]

@987657654321  I LOVE THEM! But i also LOVE this band!

[987657654321]

@Rilliden Im surprised how many people on this video have heard of them, considering Against Me! is a completely different type of band

[Snoboardmatt]

best ska band

[getupUsonofabtch]

what?

[Snoboardmatt]

streetlight manifesto is the best ska band

[getupUsonofabtch]

ohhh haha I thought you were saying Against Me! as the best ska band. haha, my fault.

[carlSkatesEnjoi]

Not really, but they're good

[xhopesfall20]

No such thing as a "best" ska band if they all suck equally.

[987657654321]

@xhopesfall20 I used to think the same way but I mean streetlight manifesto are just insanely good. listen and you will take back everything you ever said about ska

[pureawsomeninja]

i hate the second singer he sucks live. tom will pwn every time all the time

[homerfromhelI]

what are you talking about, he sounds great to me...

[penile1]

Are you kidding? He's even better live, than on recordings. They are both incredibly amazing. Get a fucking hearing aid, bitch.

[pureawsomeninja]

yah sure you can say that but honestly once against me! breaks up for good, which will happen because every band does, tom will be the only one who will still live on, he will be a nobody afterwards.

[CodyAllenmusic]

I thought james sounded good.

[pureawsomeninja]

i just dont take to his voice all that much it just bugs me is all.

[carlSkatesEnjoi]

You just don't like good music. Go listen to Britney Spears.

[carlSkatesEnjoi]

Good? Fucking excellent bitch

[leadzeplinsucksInc]

lol*

[themantimes8]

I miss old Against Me! I saw them for the first time at Market Street Pub in Gainesville when I was 11 years old. I loved their music for so long and I saw them many more times. But now they barely ever play in Gainesville anymore and the last time they did, it was like 20 dollars a ticket... I miss their old shows at Common Grounds, Market St, and 1982 (the old CG) and they dont even play the Fest anymore...Against me, you screwed up.

[Mattmoo36]

anyone else pissed that the drummer left? :/

[getupUsonofabtch]

it's a shame, but he wanted to do other things. He'll come back.

[Mattmoo36]

yeah lets hope so

[LMOAP]

i love this band more than anything :D

[xMissDomino]

<33333

I love them so much.

I have a huge crush on Tom :P

[gobolini]

mega beschissen

MM stinkt

[ErnestoMag]

Me too, If I were a girl.

O

[MilitaryFreeZAch]

i'm a straight male, and i do. lol

[Smalley123]

man you guys gotta live in jersey for a year and youll see how much you miss Miami

[ErnestoMag]

1:54 haha excellent Air guitar on a sax!

[epaRraW]

Amazing..

[Saviortune32]

against me! is so much better live

[XxAudienceOfOnexX]

Agreed.

[Saviortune32]

hes got that roughness in his his voice ya know?i dont know how to describe it.its like hes gotta broog.its amazing

[bobbykotrba]

gritty

[MrFrenchfriend]

@Saviortune32 they always perfect



[funkytecvocmunky]

Oh MAN!!! This is such a good song, i fricken LOVE IT!... I can't find a good CD version the song tho... i think it still sounds pretty awesome on acoustic anyways, haha.

[schwedenstahl]

to all you critics and soft-souls out there, play it your self and we will judge you with pleasure! it rocks!

[TrippOrion]

Always nay-saying... Why don't you create something you fuck! -TenaciousD I agree this recording sounds watered down, and a lot less angry than I'm used to...

[anarcrustie]

compared so some of the older videos and the acoustic shows this seems so.... soulless.

[cobaincovers]

they should fuckin stick warren in the front once in a while =P

[QukeSoccerMassive]

warren is a pretty chill dude my brothers pretty down with him here in gainesville florida... i feel privileged to know all these guys they also live around me

[seanmiaster8851]

lucky..i live in orlando, i saw them with the foo fighters... they are so cool!

[ikomplex]

its "Fucking Miami!! "

[VelvetRazz]

SHUT UP BITCH!

[ianmeister9]

i think against me! is great

then and now

[Wirld]

Against Me! Has sucked since the first album.

[seanist]

you fail.

[Wirld]

Oh common, there music became generic and crappy afterwards. "Stop take some time to think". That song is just garbage, this is meh.

[seanist]

Stop is indeed a terrible song, but that doesn't reflect any of their older work

[Wirld]

Try listening to "Baby, I'm an Anarchist", "8 Full hours of Sleep" or "We laugh at danger". Those are all from the first album and they are way better than this.

[seanist]

I'm not comparing them to this, i know those songs are superior...i'm referring to Stop, and the fact that you claim "they have sucked since the first album"

[Wirld]

In comparison to the first album the rest have sucked. I mean, their second album was meh but the third one was just atrocious.

[seanist]

Thats what i was referring to. "Against Me! have sucked since the first album", and you've contradicted yourself.

[Wirld]

This isn't going anywhere, let's just drop this.

[BlakeMunter]

I think you both suck.

[erikakalucy]

actually no reinventing axle rose is not their first albums its vivda vis son SHIT STROLL

[Wirld]

1997 Against Me! (Tom's First Demo) Self released

1998 Vivida Vis! Self released

2000 Against Me! 7 Song Cassette Self released

If 1998 happened before 1997 then you would be right. Trying doing so research before trying to bash someone.

[BrainDe2d]

Just because you wiki shit doesn't mean you know the band.

Listen to raw recordings, be at their first gigs, shit like that then start saying shit to other people acting like you know what you are talking about.

[Wirld]

It's great that you just automatically assume that I never went to see there shows when they were at their best because I went to two of their concerts.

[Wirld]

Oh, and Viva Vis was a demo, not an album and it doesn't matter anyways because RAR was still their first ALBUM.

2002 Against Me! is Reinventing Axl Rose No Idea Records

2003 Against Me! as the Eternal Cowboy Fat Wreck Chords #36 Independent Albums

2005 Searching for a Former Clarity Fat Wreck Chords #114 US #1 Heatseeker #9 Independent Albums 2007 New Wave Sire Records #57 US

[erikakalucy]

i wasnt bashing why would i bash some one who likes am! its pointless thats like punching a puppy

[Wirld]

Ehem "U SUCK" ring a bell? That would be considered bashing.

[erikakalucy]

o haha i guess u r the same person that said against me sucks well yeah i can see how people dont like new wave but i digress on their earlier stuff but whatever it does look u know more about music so i give up

[erikakalucy]

U SUCK

[xmrwaffles2]

you try making music and geting people to like it punk... ya thats what we thought

[Wirld]

I never said I was personally good at making music. God, people get so offended over opinions.

[clintomano]

retard. they are sellouts. they started out fucking punk. look at them now. they were amazing. beyond it.

[xmrwaffles2]

Whatever music is expression your obviously a robot not to appreciate it

[facelessinternetuser]

why wut happened? did i miss something? i wasnt paying much attention wat did i miss? are these recent developments? how long was i out? fer serious.

[teenageharlot]

great song, great performance, great band

[CodyAllenmusic]

agree 100537475263846021467921648245­845555463256482928230994299999­23492948247242%!

[bmore218]

gainesville sucks ass.

[ktmyamaha01]

i love the acustic bass. and its "miami, fuckn miami!" not just miami.

[jeffyboy14]

holy shit! its the horn section from high school footbal heroes!

[hermanwryyyy]

Actually, I could be wrong but I believe this song is about the elections in Florida and such...

Knowing AM! it wouldn't be a very bad suggestion.

But I think I'm wrong.

[clcsqueejy04]

MAJOR FUCKING COMPLICATIONS, JAMES!

[alightershadeofblack]

um its probably because they all lived in flordia and it probably sucked. i know my town sucks, thats pretty much what everyone thinks about there hometown.

[ktmyamaha01]

i really dont get why Against Me! hates miami and florida. they sing like, 3 songs about not liking florida. i know Tom Gable is an Anarchist but do they have something agaisnt that particular state? and Against Me! rocks!!!

[Kraftysot]

Theyre from Gainesville which is a really horrible college town outside Jacksonville, with has one of the worst crime and murder rates in the world, not just teh US (of which we top)

Florida is worse than california. Sink fucking sink.

[CodyAllenmusic]

Gainesville is quite a damn way from Jacksonville, lol.

[Kraftysot]

Uh, its 35 minutes from here.

Where I used to live in Jacksonville Beach, it took longer to get to SR-301 from my house, than it took to get from the edge of jacksonville, to Common Grounds or the studen ghetto.

Its a suburb of jacksonville. "Duval count" = jacksonville. The entire county is our city limits (largest in the US), and im sure google maps will show you how close gainesville is. Its faster to get from Riverside to gainesville, than it is to go to the beach.

[CodyAllenmusic]

hmm, ok, I didn't realize how big Jacksonville was, I had only been through a large part of the city on the way up to georgia, and farther north.

[hockeyplyr3]

please tell me your kidding, you really cant be serious about that. i live in gainesville theres been 1 murder in the last year, and that was by an out of towner. so fuck off dude.

[DissidentDescendant]

Kraftysot that's just plain ass. I live here in Florida. Gainesville is nowhere near as you described it. The college, the town, and the community are all great, albeit a little loose on the alchohol. :P Miami, which I have family in along with Gainseville, IS as the song describes. Even my relatives who live their agree.

I agree with hockeyplyr. Real Florida is not what it's built up to be. It's something completely different and, in my opinion, much better than the perceived image.

[hockeyplyr3]

theyre from naples, then started their career in gainesville, toured all around florida coming up. so they know what its about, and its not all what it is built up to be. i like florida, but its overrated.

[jesnavarro05]

Punk is not dead!

[jonathantangjerd]

I wish they would at least not censor themselves. Let the station do that if they must.

[jraci0025]

he looks good in that shirt, but that isn't the point...the song is the shit =]

[redflufflykins]

I can play this song on piano and guitar. pretty bad ass...coming from against me! of course, coming from me? i'm just having fun...it might suck to against me! fans, but i'm just havin' fun with it when i play. fucking fun songs to learn...and play. lol

[lupinthe3rrrrd]

Look at the man go and I Emphasize the word MAN

[TheWallaceA7X]

they are fuckin amazing! u luv them and theyre music =D

[firebeforeice]

I think these guys played Miami, when they were a young band from Gainesville. its funny they describe my home perfectly. Maybe Churchill's gave them a bad taste in their mouth

[javert12345]

"Major fucking complications James!!!"

[1SNEYOB1]

FUCKING MIAMI!!!!

[MrMojoRisen451]

AM! is amazing... especially when they're acoustic

[redflufflykins]

yus yus yus they are.

[837737]

fuck you Carrierfl this band rox my sox ur probably some little fucking prep so shut ur fucking mouth asshole

[Psychedelia1969]

who really cares about his collar. it dosent matter

[Hastyl3]

how do they suck? they're actual punk rock... not like that fall out boy/blink 182/good charlotte shit i bet you think is punk

[quackenmire19]

Who gave this guy thumbs down he has the most true, honest comment I've seen on this vid.

[cookiethewaitress]

Did anyone else see the saxist do air guitar?! I love you can almost tell someone told them to behave - how they won't look at anyone in the room, how you can hear the distaste in their voices, and Tom's fucking collared shirt.

[machou1]

That's some dumb shit. Dude can't wear a collared shirt without getting criticized anymore? Shit.

[machou1]

That's some dumb shit. Dude can't wear a collared shirt without getting criticized anymore? Shit.

[janetzki1]

And what's your point? Did you listen to the great song, or did you treat a concert as a fashion show?

[ben12895]

no i agree, i bet that the label told him to wear a colard shirt

[machou1]

Come on, give it a rest.

[bassdeferens]

christ, i saw them at a coffee house in st augustine in 04 (when they were with no idea, before even signing with fat) and tom wore a blue collared shirt. only time i'd not seen the band in all black. any clues who put him up to the evil that night? who fucking cares as long as the tunes are good. scenesters get so angry at such picayune things

[fences37]

they sound really good here!

[fences37]

they sound really good here!

[PreludetoExtinction]

I really hope they play this at Bristol on the 14th...

[talkfan]

Against Me! acoustic!! pretty hot...they have a lot of their own exclusive content on their very own Kyte Channel. They produce alot of the content themselves...totally worth checking out....you can catch it on their official myspace!

[teconmoon]

Wow Ive cant stop listening to this song I try I cant. and the fact there live aucusticly and still sound that good gondamn...

[FasterBulletLFDY]

These guys are fukking amazing. I think my generations music, for the most part, is shit. But these guys are doing it right. I want to marry Tom haha.

[gorkymalorki]

I completely agree with you...well except for the marrying Tom part.

[andreccardoso]

Tom's live singing is incredibly awesome. Why are they always in black?

[idiotaxiom]

Because they musicians?

[slaymantha]

Dude, crusty punk uniform strickly states all black, carharts, greasy hair! They look cleaner here than they have EVER looked though.

[jayteasprout]

The horn section is a band I was tour managing that summer called High School Football Heroes... they played this song with AM! as the set closer on Warped tour all summer.. it was awesome! Trivia: This was taped at 9am before the San Diego date of Warped tour. Dave (trombone) has an Eternal Cowboy tattoo on his leg... but no one in Against Me ever noticed it.

[lawngnome8273]

Justin Burke (a friend of mine down here in South Florida) moved up to Long Island to join HSFH a few years back for a short while. He played in Bum Ruckus and Pitch Black Radio down here.

[watergated123412]

wheres the bassist

[fairypants666]

the bassist is the guitarist with the beard, hes just playing an acoustic bass

[gpibambam]

i liked the horns. mixed it up for against me. had never heard the song before so... pretty badass.

[wolfeyes108]

like how the horns are dressed like them too.

good traditional folk song.

[xXbigdXx666]

o what the fuck they dont say fucking miami

[papamurk]

they don't say fuck

[fivecents5280]

Ummm, yeah they do, 29-30sec's in, just and an "'ing" it is cut out of the chorus, though.

[BoyCryingWulff]

Awesome song. I wish there were more like this on their new album.

[CavaliarEternal]

Searching for a Former Clarity was absolute shit.

I found it weird how they said "the waters FUCKING poison", but didn't say "fucking miami"

[XxXBlAmECaNaDaXxX]

i luv gable lolz hes my bff jill

[Patrickiscool10]

Did they only play two songs this show?

[idiotaxiom]

Yeah, we only had them play two songs due to time constraints with the studio. Sucks.

[Patrickiscool10]

Damn, I would have loved to see them play a couple more.

[teosteffes]

against me....very nice.

[RASLMfan]

ok i love against me but give it up for the "high school football heroes" horn section...if u havent heard them there a good ska band...but like all good ska bands they broke up
