Anti-Flag The Bright Lights Of America music video

[dannyzee4]

I just read bout Tom Morello being in this video, so i was looking out for him, but I was surprised to see Boots Riley in it too..had to check elsewhere that it wasnt just the blurry nature of the video fooling me.

hahaha 2:26 -- TOM MORELLO! what a geek

[SaintInsanity02]

Anyone notice that america has 3 people and comes in half way through the game?

[khheart21]

love it awesome mwahhh i was asked to be in this video

[Adrinic45]

Best band ever besides Rise Against and i hate it when people say they are sold out, they wrote their new album just for the people who listen to them but those people just come back with saying only their old stuff is good

[EricBallard]

i agree with everything including the rise against part =]

[errorafterdark]

@Adrinic45 RA has changed too but I hope they go back to their old style. XD

[CannonDollX]

I thought it kicked ass... of course it could be b/c I was in it. Team USA!!! lol

[tonhocavalo]

My favorite band has sold out, this video has such a weak meaning, this has almost no message when you compare it to their death of a nation video, its too mtv friendly now [2]

[BushSucks009]

amen. exactly what i said and im getting critisized over here for saying it too.

[HLGxDiaboliK]

Dont hate on this song. Anti - Flag ADMITTED this is a complete new sound. The point is, they said that punk shouldnt be about the sound, but the message.

[Laidleypunk12]

@HLGxDiaboliK Actually ... it was Joe Strummer who said that ...

[Gaz625]

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it lacks message.

[FlyingToasterInc]

dude i totally understand it, it's about nationalsim/imperialism and how the u.s. is pretty much the definition of it, but dude there is no way you can say this isn't tv friendly for all those teen boppers out there, this is not the true anti-flag that once was, i mean look at the stupid matching uniforms.

[xMareenx]

You sound like a pissed off 15 year old. Grow up and start appreciating cool music with cool messages. Yeah, i guess they arent the ''anarchists'' they were, but dude, if you REALLY want changes in your country (or you are a ''punk'' kid), you should be very thankful that the 12, 13 and 14 year old MTV kids can watch this shit. They are growing up watching/knowing/understanding whats wrong in their country thanks to bands like this.

[BushSucks009]

yeah but can you say those idiot kids watching mtv are gonna take any message from this, this video doesnt look like it, those kids need to see the video Death of a Nation so that the truth isn't watered down and MTV friendly, if i hadn't known the meaning of this video before I watched I woud've thought it as just another pop band playing at a skating rink.

[xMareenx]

Yeah, but how many times when we were kids we saw bands like blink or green day on the tv wearing Lagwagon or Bad Religion shirts, and started listening/discovering even better bands because of that? If the kid falls in love with punk rock after seeing this shit, the kid will look for old Anti-Flag shit or better bands, just like us.

[ZombieJaw]

If this was the first anti-flag song i'd ever heard, i wouldnt have looked for more. Its too watered down. The video was even worse. Where are the images of the truth behind america. The shock tactics. The only reason theyre not there is cause MTV wouldnt appreciate it.

[ZombieJaw]

Im with you on this. Its a good song. But it really has been so mellowed down. That could have been a fucking riot if they'd let it. Its still a good message. But the kids that its attracting now arent exactly the type to go protest and stand up for their rights. Theyre just gonna listen and say OH MY COUNTRY SUCKS CAUSE ANTI FLAG SAY SO.

[ZombieJaw]

Its not hard to understand. The video just doesnt show enough thought or consideration. How many bands have done a video at an skating rink. Its just not the true anti-flag. Its not that the songs not good. Its alright. Bit mellow, but alright. The video just ruins it so much. Theres so many things that could have been done with a song like that, but it seems like they havent even tried.

[lmcafnxma]

@ZombieJaw it shows a message but in a different way. this video shows all different countries fighting and then america wins the roller derby, meaning, the countires get beat by america in a war.

[deluxpunkrock]

awsome video!!!

awsome song!

amazing band!
