Anti-Flag - The People or The Gun - EPISODE 5

[sillyblackgoose]

Anti-Flag never sold out.

So what if their sound changed?

It's about the lyrics.

And those didnt change

[ultimatedude]

Even though i love Anti Flag, id have to disagree, changing sound is still selling out, and their new lyrics for both Bright Lights and People or The Gun are very different and not as powerful as the previous ones, they are also a lot more vague

[ChaosDragon018]

@ultimatedude No it isn't. You sell out when you give up your dreams, your ideas, and so many other things that made you, all for some fame and/or money. Changing of sound has little to do with selling out.

[Chrisislame911]

This guy, is so just smart and wise, I've learned a lot from him. I can def. say he's my idol.

[FeverishDonkey]

fuckin' bright lights was an amazing album, and to all you assholes that think they've sold out, fuck you. Anti-Flag is back and better than ever!

[dirtyfeetforever]

i wonder if they are talking about bands that sign to major labels, while pretending to be interested in radical politics.

oh, wait a minute...... someone give these guys a pink slip!

[Elliottina]

It is possible to be signed to a major label and still be interested in left wing/radical politics.

Oh...and Anti-Flag are not on a major label . Id check your facts before you post crap in future :)

[dirtyfeetforever]

well actually they did have a two record deal with rca. rca is a major label. rca has ties to bmg. bmg has ties to hutchinson worldwide and barry controls and other companies with military contracts. seem perhaps like you should check your facts and so should they before they sign to labels with links to the military.

[neppy629]

Anti-Flag wanted there vocie heard on an Indie label it is harder to do that.On and indie label you are preaching to the converted and that does nothing. We need to get out there let our vocies be heard, and of course if you look hard enough everything is conected ( 6 degresses of separation.. it might be 5 degress i not 100%) that said everyone knows every one through at lest 5 or 6 people so then we all are conected to the military.. you pay taxes right? you have ties to the military then

[Elliottina]

Thank you Neppy. I was about to say the same thing myself. (and it is 6 degrees)

I have 3 friends who are in the military, but I am a pacifist. Thats not an act I put on, I dont secretly agree with what those 3 people are involved with. So you cant always judge people like that.

[tabzywabzy]

we need this kind of song. i hate the bastards that think their punk because they play guitar but dont know shit about politics.

[spearrbk]

Thanks for playing for Ash in his final hours.... R.I.P Ash love always :*(

[FlyingToasterInc]

this sounds like a fucking wild song! I LOVE IT!!!!

[FWNiightmare]

As once stated by the artist Banksy, "The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit."

[TwilightJwl]

I am counting down the days til the release.

Because it is disresepctful to illegally download an album...

No matter what terms.

Getting super supper excited!

[antiflag85]

GO PENGUINS!!!

[Punkrockgod93]

[raminile]

[antiflagtuzo]

[lost505mayhem]

Awesome!!!

[TheDemonataLeader]

I don't see what's wrong with wanting money.

[StrandedH]

Loving the T-Shirt Dos! I want it, love how that's the focus of the video :P

Great song.

[yellowpages67]

Wow. It sounds like the good old stuff, before For Blood and Empire. The stuff that made me fall in love with Anti-Flag in the first place. YAY!

-Points at Chris's shirt- I likes it. XD

[Elliottina]

This is my fav track so far off this album! I seriously cant wait for this album to come out in England.

I was so disapointed with the last Album, I kinda thought they had lost their way a little bit. This new album though sounds totaly amazing! possibly the best they have done :-p

[ejc8707]

Damn Am I the only one who liked Bright Lights Of America .If You Ask Me There Wasnt Enough Promotion for that Album And Anti-Flag Really Didnt Tour In Support Of It They Just Played Alot OF Music Festivals After It Came Out

[Elliottina]

lol yea sorry I think you are about the only one who does.

That album had its moments. 'Spit in the face' was decent, and the "hidden" track at the end (the country style one) was class. but pretty much everything else on that album just wasnt as good as the stuff they did on 'for blood and empire' and 'the terror state'. New album sounds amazing though.

[ejc8707]

What ?

No Warning

Good And Ready

Shadow of the dead

and The Smartest Bomb

Are Some Really Good Songs

I hope they play a few of them on warped this summer but yea I Cant Wait For The New Album To Come Out Also

[Charlottefreemumia]

NOO you're not the only one!  i like that album as well! xD

it's different than the other albums before but not worse.

hm..i don't like they make that episodes...it mars the surprise^^

[emosux94]

hi love (:

[dunnannunn]

I loved bright lights actually, and they toured for it, they went on a canadian tour, australian and american, all entitled respectivily "The bright lights of..." canada, australia, america, etc.

[ejc8707]

If you ask me they should have done warped tour and played a shit load of shows here in the us after it came out plus 2008 was an election year and it pissed me off that anti flag just played a lot of dates in europe and they cancelled that aussie tour if im right

[dunnannunn]

oh... well they played my city in canada, so woo! and they don't play in canada all that often... it was fun?

[Solana121]

I am so excited for this album to go back to the strong hardcore punk sound. It is going to be epic. And is that a Dead Kennedys reference, or just a coincidence?

[shiphigh]

dead kennedys didnt come up with that slogan, they just covered it like they did many other things, just to mock the common man and society. its an David Allan Coe song.

[DaveO15]

I have this album! :D

[TheDoorsRule]

Me to!

Tho i plan to buy it on its official release as well

cause im dweeby like that

[DaveO15]

Haha, nice. I will if I have the money. And I agree, The Doors totally rule! :D

[TheDoorsRule]

wow i see ur from ireland to! ha

Did u see em a tthe academy?!

[DaveO15]

They were in The Academy?!? :O:O:O

Ah well, no Jim Morrison anyway... :(

[DaveO15]

Oh wait, you meant Anti-Flag. Wow, I'm an idiot. :P Yes I did! It ruled!!

[TheDoorsRule]

ha did u see the guy who got his fake leg signed? that was my best friend

[DaveO15]

Yeah! I was standin' right beside ye, I let the fake legged dude lean on me! Big afro-ish curly hair, remember me? I said "Maybe they'll mention your leg in interviews as the weirdest thing they've ever signed!!"

[TheDoorsRule]

yeah! ha hes gone all emo hair now tho ha

and i do remember you

man that was fuckin epic

they better come back!

[DaveO15]

Aw, gaywad, haha! :P Yeah, I really hope they do! Unreal show!
