  • im sicking of seeing nothing but religious talk on every MxPx page. How bout the music. These guys have been killing if for well over a decade. They dont preach. they dont involve religion in the music... so why are you? This band was my segway into punk way back when i was a teen and they're still great. Oh and the iron post with lots of thumbs up, here's another thumb, I listened to the lyrics too ;)

  • I thought there were moments on "Secret Weapon" that would allow MxPx to get back into the spotlight as far a 'punk' was concerned. But it didn't seem to happen. Sucks. The album had a good bit of creativity plus the right amount of production.

  • i hate music vids like this, realy lame, so is the shouty bit in the beining, but ye its a alright song!

  • crazy dance at 2:00 -2:08

  • I cringe at the word religion, i have Christ for a relationship, guidance, and because i cant make it in this world on my own. None of us can, not for some rules to make myself feel better. Props to all the people that feel the same way, relationship = win, religion = fail. Period! =)

  • @Hasteinme914 you sir, win

  • @singforabsolution171 Thank you sir (=

  • in my personal opinion billie joe can't sing. but that's just my opinion. mike has a good voice though.

  • we have tu shut down our computers ;P

  • Nice. I forgot how much I love this band. Seems like they've been around forever. First heard them in mid 90's and sounds like they still got it.

  • HE sort of sound like billie Joe Armstrong (greenday singer)

  • @jusm11

    r u serious? not at all to me. there voices are VERY different. they both have gr8 voices but they are not very similar. in my opinion billie joe's voice is a lot better but thats just me and i LOVE MxPx tooo.

  • omg gotta love mxpx

  • does the bass player use a pick or his fingers

  • @114dad I can't say for sure, but I would imagine using a pick would make it much easier to play their type of music.

  • But at the same time you can play with your fingers like this it just takes practice

  • i've seen him do both

  • I love the Clash opening!

  • good stuff good stuff. and yeah, what god do you believe in that will send his greatest accomplishment to an eternity in fire and pain? ill stick with the god that is the god of love thanks

  • God sends you to hell when you willingly refuse to serve him, I mean its kinda simple to get into heaven its not like hes bein a dictator. And I dont what a god of love because my God IS love :)

  • @BTTSband same here I'm in a relationship with the Trinity not in a religion...RELIGION SUCKS!!!

  • I think it would be SOO much fun to shoot that video, just throwin stuff off a building and stuff

  • MXPX is TA BEST!

  • I think MxPx lost focus for a while - Before Everything and After and Panic were kind of lost causes - but Secret Weapon redeemed them, in my mind.

    If it wasn't for this album, I would have given up on MxPx completely.

    I loved growing up, listening to them, and knowing that each album was going to bring something different. Before Everything and After brought something different, but it didn't feel like MxPx. Panic almost got back to their roots, but the lyrics were quite immature.

  • i agree completely

  • anyone else find it ironic tht we r wtchn this music video online?

  • *raises hand* I do!!

  • We'll see you by the unreacable cupcake table ??

  • haha!!!! but, he is true.

  • actually the bible says that its isolation.. you'd be on your own bud

  • Comment removed

  • 1st off, there is a God

    2nd, A LOT of people care

    and 3rd, there IS a Heaven aAND a Hell.

  • care to explain where those so called Heaven and hell are. is hell in the liquid core of the earth and heaven in outerspace? really, where could they possibly be?

  • Theres a lot of debate. Haha. SOme scientist think it might be a parellel universe. If god made one Universe he can surely make two more!

  • and our universe is probably not the first or last

  • Heaven and hell are not specific physical places. Hell is a total separation from God while Heaven is total being with God.

  • @PhoenixSin yeah but who even says that their is a god, god is a creation of the human mind to create answers to things that, until modern science, could not be answer, like the how people were created.

  • the bass is INSANE in this song!

  • DUDE I LOVE TOOTH AND NAILS VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!! i love this song!

  • fuckin love them haters can eat dick !

  • Yay! This is just the song I've been looking for. I'm so excited right now!!!!

  • i feel liek tooth and nail is the only person who would sign them their original stuff was amazingly good.

  • Their old stuff is so much better. *sigh*

  • you're right Skauking. theres a HUUUGGGEEE diff between being a religious and a real Christian

  • absolutely... its sad to see bands that begin with great intentions, like these guys, but begin to lose focus with time... i dont know enough about this band to say that this is what they have done, but i do know of people that have fallen victim to this trap

  • @JonArcher1113 Yea being religious means you feel there is a higher power or energy, being a real christain means you kill in the name of your god and put down all of those without the same idiology!

  • @XFrostmaneX no Christians listen to God, His Son and the Holy Spirit. You can't write off the crusades because a few different people used Christianity to their advantage. If you apply that same logic, you can say the same for Muslims, who commit suicide in order to kill 'infidels.' In all reality, being religious is more legalistic than actually following what the Bible says especially in the NT.

  • Con un skate este vid hubiese levantado un poco mas, igual... esta muy bueno

  • the intro thing is kinda lame lol but good song tho

  • agreed :)

  • ronaldo

  • We've been so influenced by this band for several years... even when our stuff is totally different than this!!

    you're welcome if you want to hear us at our channel.

  • som of their songs i cant get into......... this isnt one of them

  • this song has to do with me. A LOT. lol

  • is this a religious band???

    i saw comments on other vids sayin it was but i wasnt sure they are true?

  • they are Christians who play music. their songs have integrity. they are real, not some fake "CCM" (Christian contemporary music) band.

  • Religious isn't the right word. When they started they were a christian punk band who wanted people to see that not all christians are the lame ass gospel music people. But, they haven't done any christian based songs for a long time that I know of.

  • oh, kinda like switchfoot lol

  • who cares what people say......comment on the videos then stfu

  • from what year is the song?

  • 2007

  • cool beans

  • Awesome! And the song pretty makes sense!! =D

  • best band on tooth and nail and one of best bands ever!!!!!

  • The drummer looks like the guy from the TV Series Heroes....hehehe...the father of the cheerleader....

  • What the fuck is up with all the goddamn cocksucking thumbs motherfuckin downs? whatre you christians getting your chastity belts in a bunch for? i fucking like mxpx and this is the goddamn internet for god's sake. jesus fucking christ.

  • lol

  • Or it could be we have half a brain and don't need to resort to random offensive words to get a point across.

    You may want to try that sometime - It may get you further in life.

  • I get as far as i wish using my random offensive words.

    and you know what, you're completely right. it probably is the fact that you have half a brain.

    I however, and using a whole brain, FUCKER!

  • How old are you? Try getting a normal job (musician doesn't count) using that kind of language. You'll find yourself on a one way trip to McDonalds burger-flipping land.

  • 18 years young. Try phone services for a major business. pshhhh.

    but it was a nice try.

    fuckin nutter.

  • I'm pretty sure you just how stupid you sound using your offensive words. It doesn't make you sound cooler or smarter, just uneducated and immature . If you don't know that then your "full brain" is the size of a peanut.

  • "I'm pretty sure you just how stupid you sound" im pretty sure that you are also, as stupid as you sound. keep in mind, if you can wrap your feeble brain around it, that a peanut is still and always will be, larger than a pea.

  • Nice word usage for well.. you. But you know as well as I do that you really aren't smart and that your words will get you nowhere far. And btw you are attemping to debate a 14 year old and losing.

  • now that might make sense did you know me, other than a few message that were left to purposely offend. so go ahead and scratch that one of the list. secondly, you're just repeating everything the last guy said, when i've already proved them wrong. next..

  • And did you use your offensive words when you applied for that job. When the boss asks you a question do you say f#$ck of loser. If you cuss at your boss then you proved me wrong. But if you don't then that shows that you can advertise self control and you know it is wrong. And tell the truth, you don't need to lower your image even more.

  • stealthstrudel. i did not swear at my manager until after i got the job and we became friends. that doesnt mean that swearing is wrong. but it is innapropriate in some situations. youtube is not on of them.

    and boredtowitsend. if you read the comments i already exolained it was purposefully offensive, and it worked.

  • ya know i think we might have skipped this segment but if youre as smart as you claim to be then why swear when you can use words of a higher intellect instead?

  • i fucking love mxpx. they are so goddamn good. fuckin wow a christian band that isnt hella obviously christian..

    theyre fucking awesome.

    they were on the fuckin soundtrack to passion of the fuckign christ. theyve come way far and they never started sucking.

    i love you mxpx.

  • lots of bad language

  • how old r u like 5?

  • Im 16 and happens to have high morals

  • yeah.. cause your 16.. daaaaammmmnnnn

  • lol ^^

  • anyone knows what city this is?? i really want to know

  • It's LA

  • Looks like Los Angeles to me. I've lived in LA for the last 14+ years.

  • i bet my left ball its LA

  • It has to be LA!

  • hmmm i wonder what the next album will sound like

  • Hey.. this is a christian band right? :D

  • yes they are : ]

    best one out there

    but they don't talk about

    god in most of there songs

    and never preach from stage

  • they just started writing a new album this month

  • fuck technology! remember your friends and family first.

  • i agree but come on man theres kids watch n dis watch the language

  • alright man. but i gotta say, anybody listening to punk rock probably won't be upset by the "F" word.

  • seriously dude calm down. not many little kids will be watching mxpx. and if they are, i'm pretty sure they won't care if they hear 'language'

  • I'm gonna go swear at the people watching Jonas Brothers videos and corrupt their minds,

    lol

    :D

  • they do have a good message, but if they are christian are not, dunno.

  • i just posted my bands video kinda like mxpx, u agree?

  • this band rox

  • um..this is out of nowhere but are they a christian band? i like this song..but i dont know if they are a christian band..

  • I believe they are... or atleast they used to be I'm not sure anymore.

  • ohh..okay..like they were on jctv but i read some things abour how they werent christian n.e more and well alot of their lyrics are not that christian-like..so idk

  • If you look at their OLDDDD stuff from "Pokinatcha" or "Slowly Going The Way Of The Buffalo" they have some christian songs

  • their christians but they'r not a christian band

  • Thank you for that

    I was just about to say that

  • Not To Mention, How Many Other People Have Used "This Is A Public Service Announcement"? Hmmmmm Lots :)

  • It's A Video, And They Change Things Up For Concerts :) It's Ok To Be Different Sometimes

  • i bet this lead vocalist would make a great youth pastor! lol

  • i thought the singer from sugarcult was featured in this song, but i don't hear/see him at all

  • the singer for sugarcult says this is a public service announcement with guitar!!!!

  • oh, thx

  • No he doesn't... that's Mike, the regular singer for this band.

  • well i know for sure its the singer from sugarcult, but i want to you to tell me why tom does it live? if mike did it on the album he would do it live.

  • And exactly how do you "know that for sure"? For pete's sake, watch the video! You can see Mike scream it. As for Tom doing it live, maybe he just wants to.

  • Plus, it sounds like Mike's voice.

  • they do alot of low budget music vids

  • this video is completley ripped off from the raven loud speeeaker video by nightmare.

  • yeah I'm sure everyone has seen that vid a million times

  • it reminds me more of s+m airlines vid by NOFX which nightmare ripped off and mxpx has never seen or heard of....

  • MXPX rocks!

    i touched that base!! :PP

  • this is a great song but, ehh. not the kind of thing many bands sing about in there music,

    just, kind of confusing to me.

  • sick song&video. but im a little confused..

    is he saying stop using technology or we'll die?

  • no, just to use it in moderation.

  • seriously? no.

    he's saying don't let technology replace real people.

  • well basically you can use technology but dont let it replace real people yes. you need social skills to thrive in this world, so its good to have real friends.

  • No, he's saying life's too short to get caught up in your own little world and you need to focus what really matters in life.

  • i like his little jig at 2:00

  • awesomee songg!!!!!!!

  • this song is awesome!!!!!!

  • shut what down? the tv? the comp?

    "its too confusing, too confusing"

  • this song is nothing but pure good

  • I agree with Randi cuz I was with her at the concert and I got to meet them and get their autograph!

    they are good. (:

  • i love this song!!!

  • ♥ this song!!

  • i love that bass line in the begining

    soooo sick

  • Have they always been christian?

  • this bands sweet still same founding members and still making awesome music since the early 90's. love 'em

  • Yeah my uncle is really good friends with mike herrera and they are christian guys

  • Hey good vid

  • cool. they rock. i liked barbie girl a lot. their version !!!

  • yeah its inane

  • hey i have a quick question is MxPx Christian? Because i have listened to some their songs like barbie girl and it wasn't what i would call christian but this song you can tell is christian.

  • They are.

  • They have a record deal with Tooth $ Nail label, so they have to try and make positive message song.. i don't know them personaly, so what they believe i don't know. but their still awesome.

  • if you know the history of T&N, then its not all about signing christian bands.

  • as mxpx has said repeatedly there are two things; christian bands and christians in a band. We are christians in a band. Christian bands are called to speak about god and do alter calls. As christians in a band, we believe in god and are christians but we aren't a christian band.

    in short its about what god called them to be. I barely canre remember the thing anymore cause its that old

  • Are they christian???!!!

  • O_o i'll just put it short. They are christian and believe in god, but they are not a christian band. as they have said, christian bands are the ones that are called to lead people to god through their music. They just believe in god and are christians. They aren't called to do that with their music. As its always been said, god uses us in more ways than one.

  • i don't even get that lol

    they're christians

    but they don't want to be called a christian band?

    so they don't sing about God?

    cause if they do

    then they're definitely a christian band.

  • my issue is this. does it matter if a band sings about god or not? MxPx has always been caught up in this issue cause they don't feel god has called them to preach the gospel through music.

    they just live their lives and play as what they feel. i mean most of their early songs were about girlfriends and love. people would be like how can you be christians and sing this. thats why they don't take any title pertaining to that

  • but people still take it like that. if they just say that they're not really a christian band...just christians, then people will still say 'why would they sing this'. because God has called us to preach His gospel and spread His word and what better way to do that than through music? I don't know, eh I'm just saying, really.

  • many other ways beside music. you may feel its music. others may feel its something else. There are also people that God calls them to preach through their lives instead of something like music or so forth. I have many friends that won't listen to words of others. They watch the lives of those they know. Sometimes the words aren't whats needed. You will never in my 25 years of life find me preaching the gospel through words, not cause I'm ashamed.

  • As I've said, God calls us in many ways to preach the gospel. There are many types of people out there and different ways each one's hearts listen. It doesn't have to be just one way or preaching on a pulpit. I mean have you ever had a friend that just goes "wow you're right" about your life and how you live it? They aren't just listening to your words? Cause we call all talk all we want.

  • es  suuuuuuu!!!!!

    Jim

  • That dude is hot

  • they're the best ...lou them ♥ ♥

  • I went to one of their shows, never heard them before, i flew out to Philly to see Relient K, and MxPx was there. I wound up loving them to death, better than RK by a long shot. So, now i've seen them at LEAST 5 times, and i recently met them at Bamboozle :)

  • For what it's worth, The first verse tro this song "this a public service announcement with guitar" was taken from a song called "Know your Rights" by the Clash.

  • i love this song it rocks my face off!
