  • I... fucking... love you

  • Wth he's younger than me and he's way more mature in his views than I am

  • i hope they still have a hot dog booth at their shows cuz im not vegan or vegitarian 

  • He is a genious.

  • i had a dream about him last night lmao

  • I liked the reasons why they sign RCA and how he explains that it's great that 13years kids will be interested in punk-rock.. Everyone who like call them as "sold out" should listen to it.

  • ya ive been interested in punk since i was like 7

  • I can't believe I ate this up when I was a kid. Fucking liberal.

  • "that goal of always being 19"

    Answer your question?

  • Oh..Chris. I love him very much..<3

  • he'S the best ounk-bass player i've ever seen!

  • uhhh mike dirnt is far better than this jag.

  • mike dirnt isn't a punk-bass player

    he's a commerce-bass player

    and he's got no teeth anymore XD

  • a commerce bass player? as in part of a band whos pandering to a certain trend thus making him a sell out? sorry to break it to you dude, but anti-flag is on rca records, they didn't have any fashionable stance before doing so meaning they didn't have such nifty haircuts until some fat cigar smoking record exec coughed and clapped once they made the transformation into marketable cute cuddly rebellion and said "you guys are gonna go far!!" to which he patted their butts in a congratulatory way

  • Oh you have a very narrow minded view.

  • @mattmorrison666 listen to the press corpse...Mike Dirnt is good but not at that level

  • @TheFirm1899 i dunno if you mean as person or as a bas player... if you mean a bas player... you havent seen Matt freeman from Rancid..;) he´s a genuis, and fast as fuck!

    peace

  • @TheFirm1899 what about matt freeman

  • this couldnt be '06..

    hes only nineteen

    waitaminute, this interview rlly happened in 2006?

  • theyve always said theyre 19

  • does he just have a regular mohawk with dyed hair?

  • I just want to give him a high five. He's so awesome.

  • Give him one, he'd love it.

  • i did

  • He's really fucking smart.

    ...And duh, hes freaking hotttt too! :)

  • He plays hockey. I met him at my rink today. Really cool guy

  • #2 rocks. But then, everybody in the band rocks...

  • he is an amazing bass player with great idea's, too bad that is hair is kind of wierd xD.

    aah well everyone has its own taste

  • he seems really kool and down to earth =D

  • he is hot^^

  • I shock his hand :P

  • The sad part is how he says "Taking their money"

    He should have said "Making money our own money"

    There is no shame in providing value and receiving value in return.

    Keep it coming.

  • was he 19 at 2006?! I'm confused... I thought he was 25 or 26 years old at that time..am i wrong? cause he's 28 nowadays right.. it just don't match

  • the whole thing about all the members being 19 years old all the time is a joke :D and yes #2 must be around 28 now.. but he is still 19 you know :P

  • I learn more from him than I do at school!

  • Agreed. I don't learn shit that is near this important in school.

  • i love how he says " i have no (something) takin there money and using it" hahaha

  • i hear so many people bitch about anti-flag as if having cds distributed to a wider audience, in turn, removes any sort of message the carry with their music. it's not like they are suddenly making millions. the music industry is dying, they probably don't make much more than they did on fat or a-f. i have loved this band since underground net, and always will, no matter what quarter-inch insignia appears on their albums.

  • THANK YOU, CHRIS!

    a-f fuckin rocks.

    all you haters can go fuck yourselves.

  • lol at walmart "usa #1" shirt

    true tho.. agree with his point of view..

  • does someone know what that black ring (chirs #2 always wear it) represent?

  • It's his wedding ring.

  • hes married???

  • yes he is married.

  • the concept of "sell out" is such a farce- it came from the 80's but most of it came out of the 90's it is so lame- when all the punk original records came out they were on major labels- take the money and put it out there i love to c propaghandi on a major

  • i totally agree i hate how a scene that claims to be liberal has become so rigid in thier thinking

  • let's introduce them at seven?

    i just took an eleven year old to one of their shows last night. she loved it.

  • I have so much respect for these guys, he is so right. I love their message, and atleast they're actually DOING something to change the world.

  • You know, this has motivated me to listen to them again. I always thought you know they were a hypocritical punk band. Don't get me wrong, I'm from chicago. We've got a pretty big punk scene and I am a huge fan of alkaline trio and rise against. But they always seemed hypocritical, but whatever. I'll give them another try.

  • @FootballnSoccer Alkaline Trio an Rise Against are not really punk though...Especially rise against. That band sounds more and more like nickleback every time I hear a new song.

  • @ilovechairmanmeow Dude, my comment was from 2 years ago. They have sold out big time.

  • @ilovechairmanmeow It's not about the music it's about the message, no?

    Rise Against is actually a freak exception because they're a band that became more political over time than when they first started.

    Musically, sure, they're more alternative rock than punk rock.  But ideologically I consider them to be more "punk" than the Sex Pistols, the Misfits, the Ramones or The Clash.

  • @Vajrayana514 No. Idealogically, they are not even close to being punk. They use watered down radio friendly lyrics and arrangements to make more money than when they were playing from the heart. Nothing punk about that. No band today can be "more punk" than any of the bands you mentioned, because those bands started punk. Regardless of how the sound evolves, it only gets FURTHER from the original movement, even if it sounds better to you.

  • @ilovechairmanmeow I disagree. :)

  • @Vajrayana514 It's not something to disagree. It's like saying someone born in 1980 is more victorian than someone born in 1860 because they have a victorian house. Or like saying you are more Japanese than someone born in Tokyo because you eat sushi and read manga.

  • dude ur so right!! fuck the flags!!

  • This is an interview, he was asked about signing onto RCA, he didn't just start talking about it.

  • hes an elitist because he came from a poor city poor family and becuase he thinks of all people are equal? + how is he self concious about it?

  • @AnomalytoConformity u just explaine dhis reason

  • #2 is the fucking best in the band...

  • imagine how great the world would be if more people thought more like how he thinks thinks of the world.

  • he is really cool =) <3 <3

  • yeh fuck agism all ages in punk

  • i like anti-f;ag alot i agree with alot they say but i east mcdonalds and i ewat meat thats the only thing i dont agree with but hey one thing does not make us enemies we are still equal

  • i tell chris he needs to eat a steak every time i see him.

  • okay, they used to be good...they used to be awesome, actually..but they're still okay

    "what a hypocrite"? explain yourself

  • i didnt know chris no.2 is a SMOOTH guy heh..cuz he sounds rough or manly when singing

  • thats my friends cousin!

  • i first heard Anti-Flag when i was 12 (watch 3:55)

  • i'm 13 and i don't think there's anything wrong with a 13 year old girl listening to anti-flag.

  • .........no one said there's anything wrong with that..o_o

  • i love chris #2.

    the whole band are really nice to fans.

    :]

  • es maricon... pero toka d wevos!!! no??

  • Yeah the scene is for everyone...

  • Sorry, but why does it matter if he dresses 'halloween' or if he is a fashion victim. Why does that have anything to do with what he's doing on a musical level?

  • wow... i went back reading on the things that say "he is not punk", "he is punk" ect. and you guys need to learn that you guys are just going against the word "punk" simply by labeling. lol

  • Agreed/10

  • i agree. :).. anti-flag rules!

  • i love chris #2 he's awsome

  • i always thought he was a little full of himself. love the band though.

  • i think he's rather down to earth.

  • i love this man.

    oh and shut the fuck up with the "black metal".nobody cares.

  • #2 is amazing!

  • shut up. he's awesome, and you know it. just, shut up.

  • dont you get it? he's not even trying to be awesome.. he's just expressing himself in his own way

  • Yeah right... he's a fashion victim. He should just make good music and stop the Halloween thing.

  • like u me anyone image is a small thing he can do what he wants in the way of dress part of the origional punk sciene was f#%* consumerisuim which is why we have so many issues here today to many people buying there label cloths on credit and forcing intrest rate rises and people lose houses making the world safe!!!

  • he always been fashion

    lol

  • Emo is not clothing/aperance... u know where the "emo" style came from?? PUNK! hah!?

    It's a way of expressing himself, and say.. "fuck your ways, fuck what u believe in, I go MY way, I want to wear make up, I have MY believes" and that my friend is NOT emo.. that is punkrock mentality. So dont express yourself about shit you dont have got a fucking clue about.

  • nether do u

    punk orriginaly specified individuality and not going long with a style unfortuntly people thought it was cool to copy the sex pistols

    and we have a fake punk generation

  • this fake punk generation are called posers now the isue about your people is not that they r there it is the lack of respect for others around this is not punk . punk is a comunity that is ment ot look out for each other

  • i love all things punk i just think its a bit hypocritical dressing up like other punks just my oppinion no reson to us bad grammar on me

  • FUCK YOU

    anti flag are fucking punk and if you dont like them go suck a fucking dildo and america can lick my fucking nuts america sucks george w.bush is a fag and he wants iraq for the fucking oil

    so fuck off u fag anti-flag are way better then you and there not emo there punk

    they dont even look emo

    u dont see many emo with fauhawks and mohawks u dumb cunt

  • @twankydoodle

    You just discredited yourself so badly, I actually feel sorry for you. 

  • @twankydoodle Wohho! Anti-Flag is one of the best bands on earth! :D

    Love your comment :D

  • @twankydoodle You made this comment three years ago. I hope you've grown the fuck up and stopped using "fag" to insult people. If you haven't, you have no idea what punk is all about and you might as well be listening to screwdriver or David Allen Coe like the rest of the intolerant hate monger ass holes.

  • @ilovechairmanmeow punk isnt always PC.

  • @katelovesyou666 "punk" stopped existing after the 80s. But the commercial brand that hot topic calls "punk" is based off of a movement that obscured gender lines and pushed for equality and tolerance. The word punk itself was slang for homosexual, so I never said shit about being PC. Using the word fag to joke around with your friends is one thing, but actually using it to inspire hate like a conservative republican Christian is not "punk" by any standard. Fuck you.

  • @ilovechairmanmeow Who defined "punk" standards? It sure as hell wasn't you. Punk has no standards. Policing people's language IS pc, it's the most annoying thing that anyone can fucking do, and also isn't "punk." Dont be so easily offended by a damn YT comment. I dont understand how its ok to you to call your friend a "fag" but not someone online if its used in the same context. Shut the fuck up, let people live their lives and relax.

  • @katelovesyou666 When all is said and done, I don't give a fuck about what is or isn't punk. It was an irrelevant 80's art movement. Not a code people should live by. I hardly feel that discouraging HATEFUL words like "fag" should be frowned upon, or seen as "policing". Are you saying that everyone has the right to say whatever they want all the time? You would defend Fred Phelps and all of the racist ass holes on youtube? Punk or not, you fucking suck.

  • To you last terrible point: you know your friend, his views, sexuality etc. and you can make a rational decision to use the word knowing it won't really hurt anybody. On the other hand, using it in a public forum, to describe a fucking war criminal, anyone can see it, and you're using the idea of homosexuality to lower people's opinions of someone. Same context? Not even fucking close. 

  • The word "fag", originally bundle of sticks, came from the idea that homosexuals were so evil, they should be burned. Most gay people have probably had that word used against them, maybe while they were getting beat up. It's a terrible word, that should be discouraged. But because of your "punk" rulebook that you live by, you think its worse to discourage that word, than to actually use it. If that's punk, seriously FUCK being punk.

  • youre an immigrant too, you white bred, incest fucking, grandma tits sucking, connalisa rice cumming on dick. why go on a band you dont likes videos and bad mouth em? what in the fuck is the point of that?

  • Representing pittsburgh

  • Really, they say the pledge in the middle of a set O_o Who's dumbass idea was that?

  • Man hes right Wal-Mart isn't the best!!!

    Chris Head is the shit he knows what hes talking about!!!

  • umm.. that's chris #2. hah

  • lIKE HE NEVER KNEW THAT!

  • Chris Head is the one that never talks, #2 is GOD.

  • omg yes he is

  • its almost scary how right he is......

    Messages like this are the reason i listen to Anti-Flag. They never lie in their music, its horrible that so many people believe that they are wrong.

  • He's so right.

    Take the money from the fat cats and spend it on their ideals.

    Punk rock

  • thats cool.

    im done makin my video anyway.

    you just delt with the dog bitch.

  • i dOnt' understand because i'm french!:D

    but..

    i LOVE CHRIS!!!!<3<3

    ViVE ANTi-FLAG!!

  • fuck u dude,

    this guy obviously knows what hes talking about

  • im gonna go to wal mart and buy a shirt that says "USA is NUMBER 1" then whip my ass with it, spit on it, and burn it in front of the cash ragister.

  • Man he's god. He is right about grown up's. Chris is just the shit I'm talking about. I wish he was my father instead of god.

  • god is dead.

  • chris#2 from Anti-Flag

    EXACTLY

  • i agree with most of there ideas...WAL-MART FUCKING SUCKS

  • now that they're on rca their cd will be sold at wal-mart.

  • It doesn't just suck, it's evil.

    Here in England, it's ASDA, and i boycott it. My family won't listen to me but i don't eat anything they buy from there.

    I'd rather starve then contribute to their world domination.

  • anti-flag is the shit

  • anti flag rules!!!!

  • awesome interview. personally i like the rca switch, living in australia it was alot harder to find 1 of their cd's before. also what he said about being against nationalism was one of the things that got me into anti-flag, their my fav band besides the clash =).

  • so fucking true....

    lets stop the 7 year olds from eating McDonalds. love it.

  • i dont know of any band that hung a flag and stopped playing to sing the national anthem... unless it was bruce springstien or Long shlong jovi... that or its because i'm in canada and we're deprived of yankee pride... anti-flag is amazing and so intelligent

  • WTF, "WERE STILL DIY", BULLSHIT!!!

  • my favorite thing is..pretty dresses

  • anti-flag owns my mind!!

  • He is so effing right! I love Anti-Flag!!!!!!!!

  • dude, chtis wasn't even originally in anti-flag

  • save an animal eat anti-flag!!

  • DUDE, YOU'VE JUST TO STAND WITH UR PRINCIPLE OF WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE WORLD....

    Anti-flag are great....and they care!!!

  • fuck yeah!

  • I like his views.

  • Smart Man

  • Mainstream punk huh? Bullshit. They arn't even played on the radio. Even though they should be because their message is so true and needs to be heard. Now i agree with Glassy... punk is about standing up to what you believe in. Fuck authority.

  • "I have no problem taking their money"

    love it

  • dude im so glad he talked about age like that cause its so true

  • Uh.. age? Man I 'm 13. And I thinks it's more about IQ.

    Anyway punk is just protest .. to whatever.

    They make a good point, they also sound great, still it's kinda mainstream (punk) ... That takes the pasion out of music.

  • Dude, what an idiot, punk isnt "just protest...towhatever" thats the fucking most idiotic thing iv ever heard, we all have disagreements on what punk is, but that is just fucking stupid.

    my opinion on punk: punk is to stand up tio what you believe, not care what people think about you, and to make a stand against fascist war mongorers like bush and dick.

  • :)

    He meant just protest to whatever [you stand against]

    CEODA! :D

  • Euphoric - Promotes a sense of well-being.

  • thank you for poasting people spred the message of anti flag!

  • that was great thanx 4 posting :P

  • threre's the word euphoic it means a feeling of happiness, confidence, maybe thats what he ment

    it's just an honset mistake he just added an al at the end unless he ment something different than i don't know what he said but Chris #2 is amazing even if he got something wrong but in the end he will always be doing the right thing

  • not to be mean but does he say euphorical? i dont think thats a word...

  • how old is he ?

  • How old are you!

  • not old enough...

  • I think he's 26 or 27

  • where do you live?

  • They use RCAs money for their ideas. How is that negative in anyway? Now they can get their ideas and music more known. They deserve it. #2<3

    Also if you've stopped listening anti-flag after they signed with RCA. Well then your not a real die hard fan. I'll be behind anti-flag with whatever they do.

    <3

  • Dissent takes strength, my friend. Punk rock is about being informed and not following any old source of authority. If a band becomes corrupted by the cancerous money of the music industry, it is their die hard fans who will slap them back into line or just stop supporting them.

  • anti-flag signed to a major label to spread their message, not for the money. all of you people talking shit about them, because they did that, are just a bunch of fucking hypocrites. if you were offered that opportunity you would take it for just the money.

    even now, with a major label, i wouldn't call them sellouts. you dont see them all over mtv like bands like like gay wanna be punk rock like yellowcard and fall out boy.

  • Anti-Flag apologists can talk all day, but it is pure hypocrisy for guys who sing about their "underground network" to sign with a mega-label. If they weren't happy with Fat Wreck Chords, they should have found a middle ground to spread their message more effectively.

    If m
