@mandyaldercotte there's this guy named Iggy Pop. Onstage, he's the most narcissistic fucker ever to walk the planet. off stage, he's the most humble guy ever. People change when they're on stage and when they're off. When people are on stage, they have power. they act like they don't like the fans, i don't know why, but they do. Off stage, they can be very mild mannered and love their fans. I think Tom does love his fans. His on stage persona just differs on and off stage.

Tom is the anarchist!! In a bad way. He was once influenctial in young athusiastic america. Now he's a sellout looking to make money. I only say this because his stance on reality sucks ass!! He once saw america as it was but now, money has made him back track on his beliefs because he wants to be in the elite and not in the majority that he now attempts to keep preaching with. Please Tom. It's not over. Come back to US!

[mandyaldercotte]

Practice what you preach Tom Gabel. I've met him repeatedly at shows and he always seems to hate meeting the fans - barely wants to talk and has a greater than thou attitude. James and Andrew are great, Warren was amazing, but Tom consistently disappoints.

@Kritaose That's a running joke with a few co -workers interesting. That I said that 1 year ago abd you're saying that now hehe weird.

[Kritaose]

@Laggy2000 Fix your attitude.

getting recognition is NOT selling out. I've been a fan of Rise Against since their Fat Wreck years and I don't think they sold out. Ppl are saying that Against Me! sold out because they've changed their ENTIRE political views and are going back on everything they protested against before. Unlike Rise Against who still have the same political and sociopolitical views, Against Me! are now the people they once wrote songs against.
