For fuck's sake, Rise Against didn't sell out. Why every time band moves to a bigger label, people accuse them of selling out? It's all bullshit, selling out means losing a message, changing for money. And they did not. But it's true, they are pretty new band(compare to Bad Religion or NOFX) and without old punk bands, they wouldn't be here.
And the song itself is by Pennywise, so why are we arguing about different bands anyway? Just enjoy the music, it's a fucking masterpiece.
@Shadow9Vesper Good call. Pennywise has been on fucking epitaph since the early 90s. Besides they deserve every cent. I'll buy all their albums 3 times.
To all the liberals that think Jim is praising you or that he's singing about himself in any way, I would recommend you read the lyrics again. He's calling you a apathetic, hypocrite slaves and modern idiots, you idiots! You're puppets on a string.
Pennywise is not a liberal or a conservative ( although Fletcher, like myself, is a big fan of Ron Paul ). They're more anarchist or libertarian if anything. They're well aware of the left/right paradigm.
@nirosive lol yeah and to any idiot liberal that things that he is praising you then you must be pretty stupid, the song is called "watch me as i fall" and everything else he is saying isnt something good to be, God i hate blind morons who cant read between lthe lines, its so clear what jim is tring to say here...shallow dipshits, thats about 80% of he people i gotta share my air with...long live pennwise, so sad to see jim go but im hoping this new guy from ignite can carry them on
@nirosive Once again. One song does not equate to the entire sentiments of the band. You've heard other Pennywise songs I imagine. Flex your head rather than your ego, dude. People will take you much more seriously afterwards.
@nirosive I agree with you about the song not being a liberal anthem, but I also feel that he is also alluding to a hypocrisy in himself that also exists within each and every one of us.
Can you dig it? I might add that I genuinely hope that I didn't get off on the wrong foot or anything w/ my earlier posts.
@wertyduke905 EXACTLY, you cant do it, because each band has maaaany many songs and not all of them say or mean the same thing, so to say band a is bla bla bla with band B is moronic, perhaps compairing songs would work better, but like i said in the comment i just posted, sadly we gotta share the world with these dipshits, and id say a good 80% are stupid people unable tot hink for themselves
@gielomir2 same here bro, im not a "punk" by any sense of the word, but these guys have been my fav band since i first picked up full circle on tap. they have a amazing sound fallowed up by a very cealr and posotive message. i also like some bad religion songs but they can get to preachy, even though he stats that "youll get no direction from me" a lot of there songs do give his point of view almost in a teaching manor
I LOVE punk so much 8D People tend to look at me like a queer since it's all Daddy Yankee (don't ask; XD) eminem (he's alright though), gaga, biebar and all sorts of newage music. <3 I'm proud to stand out XD
@cerberusiscool im not a "punk" fan by any sense of the word, but pennywise is my fav band, i also like autoerity zero and some bad religion, but then ill have mt metal music, my classical music, even some japanese music which at the moment i can not think of the name that the ganre has been label
@modernman12345 Americans, I believe. He describes all of our society's evils, the line about gasoline, alcohol and nicotine (all things we could do without but choose not to at our own peril) and we really are disillusioned & disconnected in the fact that we see the powers that be and dislike them, but are so far removed from our governments that we hardly stand a chance to change them.
@sdwilliams777 pretty much, the stuff bout gas alchy and nic was saying more or less that this is what drives a lot of people, for gas and alchy its ok in small amounts but to make that a big part of your MO is whats wrong. yeah im so sick of these kids who call them selves "punks" but spend more time tring to dress the part and little to no time at all thinking of ways things could be better...thats why i dont dress that way nor call myself a punk, i love pw cause i mostly agree with them
@modernman12345 hes not talking about the human race as a whole or himself, he is talking about types of person in amarica, all the things he points out are flaws of these people, its not directed to one type of person, but anyone who has these flaws in them, doesnt even need to have them all, but its all about the people who are blided to whats right and fallow the leader without thinking for themselves
@Fez450 what? they dont bash anyones belives, they do however have a few songs agienst the hard core "religious" person who puts the act on as a front but doesnt fallow any code. i have my beliefs, i dont go by a religion, but i do believe in God, when you bring religion into it then you get steriotypes and those crazys out there that when people see them on the news think anyone that believes in a God is just as nuts, but a smart person would know yo cant label a group of people by steriotypes
I almost never took this CD out of my car changer. Great lyrics unreal drumming and the melodies and hooks and breakdowns, like in this one - no one does it like PW.
this songput me over the edge... sold my chit, left my fancy corp career, starting collecting tats (one of which is the PW sign) and decided to go punk btches...
No.. They come out with an album pretty consistently every two years. "Straight Ahead" was made in 1999. "Land of The Free?" was made in 2001 and "Out of The Ashes" was made in 2003. I haven't actually bought a Pennywise album since then.
And yeah.. Land of The Free? was released just a few months before 9/11/2001.
this is pretty lame if you ask me. thier so monotone and repetitve. thats my opinion anyway. after listening to Rise Agaisnt and some others, this is very low..
@Urza216 pennywise is my fav band of all time, and im one of the PW fans that been around from the start, and i totally agree with you bro, these guys created a sound that no one can match, hard heavy agressive but posotive at the same time, its sad to see the new singer come in but im hoping he can carry the extremely large amount of pressure hes gonna be under, us die hard pw fans will eat him alive if this doesnt go well, but i have faith
@Rosehawka I just feel like everything about them has changed. Sure they have the same basic look, but the songs have totally changed (topic wise), and to be honest it just is kind of boring to me. The music is amazing but i'm not a huge fan of the vocalist
Lyrics are wrong.
