I got bored halfway through and started spacing out. Isn't that the exact opposite purpose a music video is supposed to serve?

Yeah, this is the exact same video as "Bastards of Young" by The Replacements. But maybe that's what they were going for? Maybe they did this video with intentions of everyone talking about how it's a rip off of The Replacements so kids would get into The Replacements? 1+ Reply

Are they promoting the destruction of vinyl? At least theres one less "New Wave " album out there.

This video and thread would be better if he'd burned the bug with the cigarette.

what an odd video. i liked the "thrash Unreal" slip-up in the middle. what a legit band. I'd buy a bag of spit as long as it said "Against Me!" on it. Sure, "New Wave" is their worst album, but even at their worst, they're better than most... 1+ Reply

was i really supposed to sit through that whole thing? i watched for 30 seconds waiting for something else to happen, when it didn't i slowly fastforwarded, seeing nothing continue to happen, straight to the end. cool.

you'd think with all the money they made from selling out they could make a better video.

I dunno guys, I think the four videos the band has done for this record have been pretty good. Even this one.

I doubt Tom Gabel is the asshole everyone makes him out to be; he seems like a pretty cool d00d.
whatisyourforte (August 2, 2008)
uh...either this video really blows or it is really good. it just leaves me with a sense of discombobulation
MisFit4Me (August 2, 2008)
First of all, why is mentioning the director to that video important? It's not. Second of all, as everyone's already said, Replacements rip off (which I know Against Me is highly influenced by the Replacements, so it's probably more of an ode than a ripoff). And third of all... well, I don't have anything else. It's just a cheap version of the song with a brief interruption by Thrash Unreal that people will use to listen to the song on Youtube without buying the album. That's what I did with Bastards of Young until I finally got the courage to buy Tim.

hi, I just got back from the warped tour where I saw one band and one band only. This band was Against Me! a band that I've seen multiple times. They opened with Walking is Still Honest then went in to Cliche Guevara. They played, new wave, thrash unreal, white people for peace, pints of guinness make you strong as well as baby I'm an anarchist. It was great. 2+ Replies

This song has been stuck in my head all day. Too bad only the first five songs on the album are any good. But still, this song rips.

Ha, you know dudes, I cut these guys off at Clarity and decided that I didn't even want to listen to anything new. I figured it'd help me preserve my thoughts on some of the earlier shit. But this was horrible... I got up and walked away just to slowly kill myself, in order to escape the 4 seconds I was into the chorus. How any Against Me fan's taste could evolve into swallowing this shit is beyond me. Besides this I don't really know what to say... I'm sorry you have failed. | Features
