Why don't you just break up and reform with a new name?

[rbtitco]

@rbtitco oh wait isn't there already a shitty band called xvandals or something?

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

Having said that, I support your cause on this but I think it's incredibly fucking lame that you grabbed the name in such a sheister way.

[weneedhelp]

Wow. The youtube propagandists are busy:

watch?v=InzDjH1-9Ns

[weneedhelp]

One good thing to come out of this, I now know more about you and your music, and I like it. Curious though, and I know this question should be directed at your label, butt If I used A Vandals song in a video, how long until the copyright police removed it?

[VandalsOfficial]

Thanks !@weneedhelp We never have them taken down unless we don't like the comments. Either monitor them so they're all super flattering toward us, or disable them. :)

[joeescalante]

yes we did, the ACLU told us to go to hell. Well, they ignored our formal request, which is how I took it. They are not interested in the denial of our civil liberties. They didn't even respond. That's why we are fighting it ourselves. It is more fun this way. Go to vandals dot com for more updates. Thanks.

[OffTheWallGaming]

@joeescalante Joe! Are you guys writing material for new stuff even though it can't be recorded right now?!!!

[joeescalante]

@OffTheWallGaming We are writing new material, and we can release it, but this lawsuit is dragging our progress in many ways.

[joeescalante]

yes we did, the ACLU told us to go to hell. Well, they ignored our formal request, which is how I took it. They are not interested in the denial of our civil liberties. They didn't even respond.

[darshtastic]

@vandalsofficial have you tried to contact the ACLU? And on a side note, the first time i heard "Live Fast" happened to coincide with the first time I ever got a boner. Thanks for all the memories!

[joeescalante]

Finally. You're the first person to notice that. thanks. You win a prize.

Obviously Sting slept with one of their wives.

[THESMASHMANICS]

Everyone spit on the covers of all the Variety magazines while your standing in line at the market until they drop their suit. Nobody wants a mag with a loogie on it. "F" you Variety! Sue us, we don't have crap.

[junkmail22]

Honestly Ive never read Variety before. They must not be as famous as they claim! Im buying the "no variety" vandals shirt tomorrow dammit!

[oiohjoi]

Death to the daily variety! Hopefully this load of shit is icing on the cake for their asshat company. This just goes to show what a shitty company ran by a giant douche bag can accomplish.

[s3xyb3astsixty9]

a punk band got sued... my mind is blown by this idea...

[TheTopBloke]

Apparently you guys are fucking morons.

[stalwart101]

great video. fuck variety magazine have they nothing else better to be doing to sue over something as small as that. THE VANDALS ARE LEGENDS

[akum001002003]

im going to there show on september 10 to show them me support

[Askanadult]

I e-mailed them. I was very respectable in my complaint to those damn bastards and used clean language so as to be taken seriously...but they can go to hell. I love you guys! I NEED more new music!

[VandalsOfficial]

Thanks to everyone for your support. It's been amazing! Our twitter account is going crazy. We should have been sued long ago! feel free to join in: @TheVandals.

[VandalsOfficial]

thanks for sending the email beetmeaf!

[antipopboner]

@VandalsOfficial i luv u. :D:D:D:D: u make awesome music :D:D:D:D:D:D

[ffrukit]

Blimey !!! 

[Neurosiisx]

I was wondering what the fuck happened to you guys.

[Spongebob71177]

wow yo this is soo wack!! eff tha police!!

[misterhuman]

update: looks like the orange-jumpsuit pics are just shots from one of Joe's movies. not of the actual detention/interrogation in Paris. if that ever even really happened.

[beetmeaf]

I sent my email, I hope I'm not the only one!

[Mugzee1969]

Crush these m-fer's, Joe!!!

[misterhuman]

@Mugzee1969 be careful there, in Joe's la-la-lawyer brain that sort of talk is known as "actionable hate-speech." oh wait, you're using it in *support* of Joe. never mind then, it's all good.

what I'm curious about is how or why a private security company could detain and interrogate someone without more serious accusations being made than leaving a conference early. and is Joe wearing an orange jumpsuit? were his own clothes taken or was he wearing an orange jumpsuit already? two hours huh.

[pacohaas]

So of they drop the lawsuit will you finally release a new album?
