Was this recorded straight from a vinyl copy? Because the speed is definitely off a bit. These are the EXACT recordings from the Acoustic EP at the wrong speed.
I think Against Me! probably recorded this pitched up slightly, and that's why people think it's sped up. I know this is the way it is on the EP, though.
I love this version. I once saw Against Me! live and I wasn't all that impressed because they didn't have that "warm" sound you get from the blending of the sounds.
heard this version original when I first heard of them 5 years back. The electric version just isn't the same emotion as this one puts out. Just my opinion tho
no speed changes, just a slight pitch change...it's the same speed as the original just half step up. but really, it's trivial if you're an actual fan who isn't ridiculously close-minded about this little things. sounds fine to me
@shitcanhappen Your right, sounds like the 45rpm needs tweaking on whoevers record player it is. Can usually find something on the bottom of the record player where you can fine tune the speeds.
Man, this song is so much better, this song has so much more passion, I do like the electric version, don't get me wrong, it's a nice change, but for those days, you get out of work, you had a terrible day, horrible customers, or extra work loads, songs like this keep us from losing ourselves to that bullshit. Way to go tom gabel, keep it up, and thank you takulovesanime, you made my night
where does it say that on the site? i really don't think that's true, i think his singing style just changed. this is mostly what the earlier against me singing sounds like.
im pretty sure its just because this is from a record which is going to make him sound quite differently. all depends on how they record it because it does sound like tom its just an older song.
@takulovesanime I always did like the EP better. Tom seems like he has more life to his voice, kind of like he wants the world to hear it and doesnt care how he sounds doing it. Just a teenager writing lyrics on a piece of paper wanting to make people listen, not make a #1 hit. That's what Against me! was all about.
oh no, the hoos and haas are off of the live album called "Americans Abroad!!!Against Me!!!Live in London!!!" haha thats where the whos and the haas are from. but my acoustic EP sounds different, his voice is deeper so idk but i do know the whos and hahs lol
i believe its the original that they recorded for the reinventing axl rose album. are u thinking about the one that they redid where they go hoo! haa! ?
did they re-record the whole reinventing axl rose album before? i remember a friend of mine talkin about an acoustic reinventing axl rose album, but he was drunk at the time so i didnt think much of it.
What's that second song?

His voice sounds higher because the video is sped up. When you mess with the speed using a program like windows media player, it has the same effect.

This isn't the Reinventing Axl Rose version. That's the one that involves electric instruments and "Hoo! Haa!"'s.
This is the early version of Those Anarcho Punks Are Mysterious. Pre-Acoustic EP.
