selling out isn't necessarily a bad thing? if you look at it this way, by going big, they got the message out to alot of people who otherwise wouldn't hear it.
@kentbrockton I could not have said it better myself! They still fucking rock!!!! And those two albums from when the "sold out" I thought were pretty good.!
i honestly think it's stupid how people are having to argue back to people calling anti-flag sell outs; fuck it, they're not. signing different or bigger record labels doesn't make them bad people,& it doesn't make their music and meaning change. the whole point of anti-flag is to teach people the truth, & to always be your own person,regardless of anyone else. as more & more people here their songs + lyrics, more & more people change their views on things.now listen to anti-flag you mad people!
Anti-Flag has always been about sending a message and making a change. What better way to make a change than to have your voice heard by as many people as possible! If this means signing on to a bigger label, so be it. These guys are not sellouts!
the lead man ( justin sane ) is like 35 , bassist ( chris #2 ) around 28 , second guitar ( chris something ) 28 or so and fuck knows how old pat hectic is :L
i think Pat will be around the same age as Justin they were both in the band from the start and already really good mates. and the second guitarist is Chris Head.
im just wondering, see im in a band, and i want some tips on how people will consider you punk and not posers without staying 100% underground! sumone pleaz help!
Fuck what everyone else is saying and stay true to yourself. Spread your punk music to the mainstream. There is mainstream punk and there is underground punk, neither is bad. If want to try to fill arenas, try to get signed, if you only care about playing and not rockin to tons of people, don't get signed, that simple.
chris #2's amp was cut..but they werent playing infront of a croud..they were just recording it..if it was live they wouldve kept playing until his amp kicked back in
TO AN AUDIENCE! I've watched them play this all the way through live and Sane's microphone didn't work through the whole song they went with him yelling the vocals all the way through
Anti-Flag is the most influential band in my life, I've loved them since their first album. The have NOT sold out just cause they are on a bigger label, For Blood And Empire is probably the most political album ever, so fuck all the haters
bottom line is these guys can tear the roof off. why do people always have to talk about selling out when their moms are the ones who sold out to doing bj`s for smack.
as anti flag gets bigger and bigger, they are spreading more of a message. much more people listened to for blood and empire (their supposedly sell out album) but the more people listened to the meaning. if anti flag where sellouts they would let the record company control what they wrote about. that isnt really happening. they sound pretty much the same. therefore they are not sellouts. end of story. goodbye!
(anti flag and rise against are the best two bands on the planet XD)
thats exactly what i think!!! thankyou some 1 who thinks that they are not sell outs for signing onto big labels. If nto for anti-flag RA and other big label bands,i bet tons of people would still eat meat, buy stuff made in china, not particaipate in protests etc. If it wasn;t for rise against i wouldn't be vegan lol =)
alright i know thats how they justify what they did, but signing to a major label goes against what they say. writing songs about an underground network and then signing to a major label is not staying true to who you are. and also its not like any of their ideas now are original. everything they say and do is exactly what you are going to expect them to do to the extent that there really is no rebellion left in their music.
You know what i m so sick of people saying bands are sellouts if they sign to major labels. Just cause they are a punk band does mean they have to be signed to a small company, as a struggling musician do you know how hard it is to make money, you know i am against corporate gain and some of the capitalist ideas, but thats what we live in so we need to make money to survive so why not sellout until you make millions then you concentrate on artistic talent.
Metal is not sellout music. Its not sellout to like punk and metal and the same time. Also, the reason I would say anti-flag were sellouts is cuz they're constantly signing to major labels. I didn't say they sucked, I think they're awesome, all I said was they're getting more corperate as time goes by.
Your rite they should be poor and sell their CD's on interpunk, just so they can be punk, instead of making some cash TO LIVE and enjoying their life.
i cant tell if thats suppost to be sarcastic ut bottom line , they sold out becaus all ther messages in ther first albums totally contradict what they are now . sellouts.
I swear to fuck man, Pat is the best drummer just because of the faces he makes while he drums!
