Against Me! - "Don't Lose Touch"

[themuffincow]

@nikkerr they have to mirror music videos so they dont get in trouble for copyright bullshit

[Sershine3]

A masterpiece-punk song.

[jersey1979]

Unintentionally ironic: the song is about how you have to stay faithful to your underground roots, but--despite contrived attempts at making the video look low-budget (dog, beer spill), it's clearly a high-production endeavor. I mean, I think the boys are even wearing makeup, and the camera-guy can't resist doing professional tricks.

[EatMyPwn]

@jersey1979 Yeah, because amateur cinematography and some makeup indicate high-budget. And we're not supposed to know that the beer spill and dog are deliberate.

Didn't they release this video before the signed? I know Searching was before they signed. What's the big deal?

[yezeniapoulsen]

he's such a cutie!

[libertr33]

yes



[rudeEMOboi]

yaaay best band ..almost^^

[deadluvx1]

i could punch babies to this song

[Cloudkit]

please tell me i'm not the only one that thinks we're taking ourselves to seriously

[ConvictSkacore]

@sharker102 it is a good song, i agree. but quit using the word "gay" as if it's a bad thing. i fucking hate it when assholes do that. same with "fag", @MikeSkiera.

@Skachild they changed their sound. so what? i say if a band stays the same forever, then fuck them they aren't worth listening to anymore.

[Skachild23]

when they didnt sound like maroon 5

[MikeSkiera]

omg what a gay song

[breannenyquist]

@MikeSkiera fag

[MikeSkiera]

@breannenyquist fag

[sharker102]

@MikeSkiera wtf is wrong with you ? If you don't like this music video then don't watch it .And If you think the song is gay ?Then how is it gay ?And I don't think the song is gay . But what I think is gay is how you don't understand the meaning of the song ? And I think your gay for not understanding the meaning of the song .

[MikeSkiera]

@sharker102 Haha whatever that means...

[Skachild23]

@MikeSkiera fuck you

[MikeSkiera]

@Skachild23 same to you

[TheMightyQuinn3000]

Just one of the best damn songs ever!

[rudeEMOboi]

maybe thats just a visual effect... for mor motion .. you know.. mirror-like

[DEVILDOG69X]

love that dog that just randomly shows up lol

[Kavers33]

Don't lose touch with against me!'s badass old stuff, never forget what we worked for ladys n gents

[debonis12]

He is not switching sides. They are showing are mirror image.

[TimothyRohe]

The footage is just flipped. They're all right-handed.

Seriously? I mean, really?

[MrBoddah1]

i prefer girls, but i find tom sexy ;)

[punkcity]

I didn't say he's unattractive. He's a good looking guy. All I'm saying is that he's a gingy, and I believe that is not inaccurate.

[HELLOITZUS]

the very first singer is cute...but it's funny that he ahs a big sexy mannnn voice nd then he's like super skinny just like punkcity saidddd....but love band nd thrash unreal is a better song by themmm

[mitchellwilkins]

@HELLOITZUS there is so much wrong with that statement I do not even know where to begin.

[faygohomie69]

haha I know what you mean. When I saw what the lead singer looks like I was like, wow, he doesn't fit his voice at all lol.

[punkcity]

Hahaha that big sexy man voice coming from that skinny little ginger-knobbed twerp. Love it

[HELLOITZUS]

i know it's funny but love the band nd song but thrash unreal is betterrrr

[smitty2745489]

flicking nausea

[nikkerr]

did anyone notice how he switches back and forth from a right handed(standard) to left handed Rickenbacker? just thought that was kinda cool

[OriginOwns]

im pretty sure he didnt switch guitars it was just a camera trick

[DeBoWed]

he ambidetreous (probaly speeling it wrong) but he plays with bith hands like me!!!!

[LiveFatsDieYoGnu]

notice his tattoos also switch arm? let's think about this for a second ; D

[CrazySherpa83]

the video is mirrored at times. Watch the white boxes in the back ground. Unless they re-arranged the room for two different takes....

[manicmoleman]

@nikkerr It's not the guitar changing, it's the fact that random parts of the video are mirrored. It's really noticable at around the 2:00 mark.

[DIYLobotomy96]

@nikkerr Its the camera doing the switching.

[bloobloo78]

@nikkerr its not two different guitars if thats what youre thinking, its just an inverted camera. if you pay attention it does it throughout the entire video, the guitar is just the easiest to spot.

[AshleighJoubert]

@nikkerr He is the definition of cool =[)

[snapsleftguitar]

@nikkerr they do it with all the instruments. and its a video effect, not actual switching instruments

[fauxbravo]

@nikkerr I dunno why they did it, but if you watch the guitar case in the background, you can see that it's the film being flipped around/backwards. I never noticed until I just read your comment. Weird.

[notarden]

@nikkerr mirror image tatoos dont change sides

[MrCowcakes]

@nikkerr They actually just mirror the video, notice the background switches sides too

[jasonometry]

@nikkerr they mirror the image, its not a different guitar

[jasonometry]

@nikkerr 1:05 pause it

[jabby18]

Holy shit what guitar is Tom using?! (for those of you who don't know Tom is the lead singer!)

I like it very much <_<

[EddyBlohm]

is it the same one that biffy clyro were using in "mountains"?

i think it might be.

[100ftninja]

well, if you are playing rockband, it's called "Tear Drop"

hope that helps

[aeroplane78]

MITCH! What the fuck is up, man?

[100ftninja]

aw shit dude, nothin.

just got home.

nice to see your band Against Me! is workin out.

I'm amazed you don't have more subscribers since you are in the band and all.

[DaddyThuggalo]

Thats a real lame ass way to get subscribers by saying your in a band your not

[johnbowie]

it's a Rickenbacker.

[OuiArentFrench]

I love this video.

[DaddyThuggalo]

Damn good voice

holy crap

its sad I love this band

but can't remember his name to save my life lol

[jadedemolover]

such a cute face with a damn great voice <3 he's rad.

[mchl41rdfrd]

need to shave beards

[immoremetalllll]

this song was amazing live :)

[LukeNP]

Screw all you people who're saying they're selling out. How the hell do you think they're gonna make money???? Against Me kicks ass!

[xthatsxproperxcoolx]

ohhh i likey the main singer xD LOL

[rudeEMOboi]

like all the girls and everyone else

[xthatsxproperxcoolx]

Point Made....?

[xmadmeatx]

I like how all the girls just like the singer, instead of the music.

[EddyBlohm]

to be fair, he is kinda fit =P

[ChoWeasley]

Wow the lead singer is pritty cute :D

[RioBravo01]

Went to their concert last summer in Vancouver; awesome band live in person

[Atreyu1611]

I love the way he sings...even acoutic his voice just changes it up...awesome band

[Weezertheshizz]

i think he likes tom waits but im only guessing...cause tom waits does that with his voice

[james17261]

What's wrong with selling out?

[merryaay]

love this song

waaaaa oooooo waooooo waoooo oooooo

[starburst6789]

oh my gosh! I love this song!

[pradrockz]

sucks to have ur music taste then

[vanhalen4life32]

wow no one cares what you think

[girkins11]

best damn song in the world!!!

<3

[CodyAllenmusic]

Lol, when he performs I always think that he is going to knock down the mic stand.

[pessicaj]

wish they didn't sell out.. but it's cool. whatever makes them happy makes me happy i guess.

the new stuff just will never amount to the old.

[WoWThatsTasty]

they didnt sell out u dont c them doin songs with lil wayne i hate wen ppl say bands r selling out ... wen they put something new out

[jbowser09]

1. Against Me! is great. Their old and new music is very different though both are pretty damn good.

2. Lil Wayne? Is that the standard for selling out?

3. They have, in a sense, sold out. Compare Baby, I'm an Anarchist to the video they released this year getting people to vote. Completely different ideals! But they went mainstream (i.e. sold out). It's practically inevitable nowadays, though it's still a little saddening. It's like when you find out that Santa isn't actually real.

[WoWThatsTasty]

well u said mainsteam is selling out lil waynes mainestream so i guess so there also 2 different types of music and some bands try to get a hip hop element then they "sell out" mainstream is not selling out the view on music and the attitude towards everything if that alters is selling out

[jbowser09]

And I'm saying their view on music and attitude has changed in a way that could be considered selling out. Not only that they promote voting, but even take the simple title of their latest record, "New Wave". Punks HATE New Wavers. Take the Dead Kennedys song "Pull My Strings" for example.

They've definitely changed into a more mainstream group (their attitude and music is muuuuch more mainstream)which many consider selling out.

[CamoZombie]

People change opinions over time, It's human nature. They've probably just matured and now just because they feel differently on certain things they have "Sold Out"

That's hardly fair to the artist.

[danetrain234]

did you really say going mainstream is selling out?

ok look at bands like the rolling stones people old enough to be this bands grandparents they have been mainstream for how long now? or a more recent example, bad religion im pretty sure they arent considered sell outs are they idk maybe im an ignorant ass

[christotheedge]

you are

[jordangates3]

man these guys were fucking amazing live.

[junkiesrunnindry]

i want to talk to tom in real life, just to see if thats his real voice, or if he's really stretching it

[JeffCotton18]

No, that's a singing voice. He doesn't actually sound like that.

[itsmyisliand]

he sounds somewhat like that

just youtube an interview

[justcoaxme]

i cant believe that amazing voice come out of such a small man.

[punkcity]

Can't believe that massive sexy voice comes out of that scrappy little dude. Nice!!!

[alucardWILLrule]

WTF the singer sounds like the guy from the dropkick murpheys. Good song btw

[zoxinc]

drunk*

[fakepoetry]

they were drunk with PUNK while making this video.

(it's cool because it rhymes...sorta)

[zoxinc]

[dorkchop2007]

[Alpha23Beta]

Holy shit the drummer's head looks like a bobble head.

[trafficjammed]

[arkansasD]

[emilythestrange06]

[olivialeann]

[javabeansalmon]

[tommymacs]

Great band, great song! Kind of sounds like Dropkick Murphey's... maybe that's why it is great!

[mcfoglerstinefred]

lol phail

[emilythestrange06]

good song

[AmarynxEsLaMuertex]

personally i kind of think the drummer looks like his head was just photoshopped onto his body :| he looks like a bobble-head. but that's just me ^_^ i do like this song though. against me! is fun.

[t3hPWNstar]

Like the guy from Fitness Made Simple? XD John Basedow?

[AmarynxEsLaMuertex]

yeah exactly xD hahaha

[t3hPWNstar]

XD Yeah, creepy. O_O

[rhcpdrummer2]

Yo he sat behind me at a concert after he played his head is real lol

[CANCERSAUCE]

not that Im trying to rip on these guys, but doesnt this song sound like it could be a GAP commercial.............."every­body in anarchy" .....am I right or am I right?????

[Fenderkicksass]

I am not trying to be mean to this guy but dont you people think he should just give up on life?...am I right?

[RudyRules]

You're wrong.

[shirk5]

these guys rock.

[johnnyikkusek]

good song

[imgoingblind589]

this song is pretty good but its stuck in my head

[asphyxiate11]

Fun fact: Andrew and James got completely wasted before the recording of this video.

This song is so awesome and I love how all the kids calling them sell outs completely miss the point of the song, and it's so fucking literal! Just goes to show how much they all pay attention to the bands they supposedly follow.

[FlabberFlob]

...or maybe they're just listening to the MUSICAL part, and choose not to pay attention to the lyrics, which rarely mean anything in today's music.

[lpvitus1487]

Its not you. they must have used a mirror or somesuch because he is a righty all the time...

[djmskat]

they filmed it in a normal mode then filmed it in reverse

[JJams4592]

Im seeing them on july 29 in spokane washington

[ChazMcCool]

Constant stimulation for our restless minds

[fullmetalfanfreak]

Why is it edited?

[rottenfuture]

so it can be played on MTV

[7freddie7]

Constant stimulation for what?

[BassBeast42]

"Constant entertainment for our restless minds.

Constant stimulation for epic appetites.

Is there something wrong with these songs?

Maybe there's something wrong with the audience!!"

awesome

[Juric3434]

Alright, is it just me...or does the lead singer switch hands on his guitar? O_o Great song though ^.^

[XBasketCase1039X]

omg you're right. i wouldn't have noticed. that freaked me out

[killinguguy126]

i dont know, i think they just reversed the footage, cos his amp stack with "against me!" stickers on it changes sides.

[chipferd]

Tired of all those folks who keep saying the band sold out with this song... it's just a good song,and totally in line with who they are, so why are they all complaining all the time?

[SWKill]

I love this song.

[MmmmGreggy]

They are amazing live, too!! I've touched Tom! :)

[Chadthepirate]

ha ive hugged warren and talked to all of them... it was fun
