Fat Mike was smart to get these radio bands on the record simply to get across to the masses, no matter what type of person they are, and get the word out that Bush Jr is an OIL-COVERED-COCK SUCKER!!!!

10 bucks says it's the best song on the comp. (Yes, I just offered placing a bet on an opinion.)

Someone (April 30, 2004)

This one sounds why more mainstream i.e. no doubt, yellowcard, foo fighters, the used, and in that artical they mentioned green day.

Someone (April 30, 2004)

Foo Fighters are covering an Angry Samoans song though, so that's pretty cool. I wish No Doubt put forth a song that didn't suck though. Oh wait, that's asking too much.

Someone (April 30, 2004)

I thought "Oi to the World" was pretty good

Someone (April 30, 2004)

Did they do the one the Vandals wrote?

Someone (April 30, 2004)

Yes, I believe so. I like to think of that parallel to what the Byrds did with Bob Dylan's Mr. Tamborine man. It was a nice tribute, but you can't fuck with the original version. Specially when you wind up getting all the credit. -MATEO

Someone (May 1, 2004)

they even had a music video for oi to the world (that warren of the vandals directed, but still)

Someone (April 30, 2004)

yeah that true, and i have nothing against the foo fighters or green day. but alot of radio bands

fabulousdisaster (May 2, 2004)

And the other one with Good Charolette and Simple Plan isn't mainstream? Atleast these bands are still good (excluding No Doubt because.... well.... after Tragic Kingdom they blew).

Someone (August 5, 2004)

Um since when Did Vol. 1 Have Good Charlotte and Simple plan ?

Someone (April 30, 2004)

This is good news though. If its more mainstream it will sell more around the time of the actual election, which means it will have better support, and maybe we can get this asshole out of office...did any of that make any sense?

Just FYI: In the new issue Alternative Press they got a long ass survey in this issue for people to fill out and if you mail in that survey to them they'll give you a free copy of Rock Against Bush Vol. 1 while supplies last.

Someone (April 30, 2004)

Haha I wonder what that survey outcome will look like.

KlashedKi (April 30, 2004)

There should be a rock against Kerry cd since there's worse things about the money fiend then the baboon. Plus it's funny since the Used hasn't done shit for a long time now and I still think it was dumb of them releasing thier unreleased shit when they haven't established themselves yet. Yeah this is more mainstream obviously but what can you do, just wait for a rock against Kerry cd.

Someone (April 30, 2004)

If you like Bush you should go out and try to make a positive difference in this world. Like I don't know, maybe drowning yourself.

hayato_the_ninja (May 1, 2004)

Yeah, because people should die if they have a difference of opinion. Am I right? Am I right?

Someone (May 1, 2004)

cause bush fans like to refer to him as "the baboon". it's a display of his representation of being the alpha male in politics.

Someone (May 1, 2004)

Me no get you joke.

hey_sailor (May 1, 2004)

Who's going to put together the Rock Against Kerry album? Rush Limbaugh? Sounds awesome can't wait to hear new material from Tim McGraw, Billy Ray Cyrus, & Garth Brooks...sounds like a real winner...

Someone (May 1, 2004)

hahahahah.and.a.solo.project.from.graves.

notfeelingcreative (May 2, 2004)

Why don't any of you know the difference between "than" and "then"?

Someone (May 2, 2004)

Its true kerry does have money and homes than bush and has a even more honest way of getting his money getting married to incredibly rich woman. Also both Bush and Kerry are part of the Skull & Bones club/cult.

Someone (May 5, 2004)

haha you just lost all credit by revealing that you listen to the used

Someone (May 7, 2004)

u got 2 options Bush or Kerry the system is flawed but liberal is always better kerry will be 1000 time better than bush

Explanations aren't needed when you're a "PROUD AMERICAN"

Yeah, Saddam would have killed us all. GO BUSH AND USA!!! KEEP ON ROLLING11!!! CRUSH THE DEMOCRAT MENACE!111

Someone (May 1, 2004)

Yes, that is exactly right. Saddam would have killed us all, or at least 300,000+ MORE of his own people. But, who cares, right? Appease the terrorists and dictators. Go USA is also right. The United States of America is the greatest nation in the world without a doubt. In no other country, would you, or I, have the freedom to post on a website such as this pro and negative things about our President. But, if you are too ignorant to realize the freedom and liberty you have and that sometimes it's necessary to defend that , then I feel sorry for you.

Someone (May 2, 2004)

Yeah, Iraq was REALLY about "defending our freedoms". If you think that the Iraq war was about "defending our freedoms", then I truly feel sorry for you.

Someone (May 2, 2004)

what was iraq about then? you know the answers, right?

i'm pretty sure you can say shit about presidents in plenty of other countries too...

Someone (May 2, 2004)

"Appease the terrorists and dictators" you dont need to look far to see evidence that the USA has done exactly this. "The United States of America is the greatest nation in the world without a doubt" Greatest?, what by 0.0000001 %. Let it go man, let it go. "In no other country, would you, or I, have the freedom to post on a website such as this pro and negative things about our President" in no other country. really. then wtf am i doing right now here in australia. "if you are too ignorant to realize the freedom and liberty you have and that sometimes it's necessary to defend that" Yep, "the freedom", "the liberty", the ability to do what you want, being free from constraint, doing what you please, all these different things we must defend in the only possible way: WAR.i am not too ignorant to see that. Its quite compelling. thank-you.

Someone (May 3, 2004)

hmm, WRONG

Someone (May 4, 2004)

i wish i could see how.

Someone (May 8, 2004)

Really??? I thought liberals and Democrats were responsibile in creating the so-called "freedoms" you love and cherish. Give me an example of one Republican/conservative in the history of our great country that has created any NEW freedoms.

Someone (December 27, 2004)

Hey hun check it out - Abe Lincoln was a republican and he abolished slavery

InaGreendase (brian) (May 1, 2004)

man i hate osama and saddam as much as you do but i love this country enough to know that bombing everyone into submission is only creating more people that hate us...ie more terrorists...you're not a proud american, you're a stupid sheep, blindly following the shepherd to the slaughterhouse -true American

Someone (May 8, 2004)

Even though I'm a liberal, I agree with this dude.

Not saying that I hate America though.

Someone (May 1, 2004)

actually that's the one good thing about MTV. all the coverage i've seen them do of iraq and the presidential election has been leaning toward the left/toward kerry.

hey_sailor (May 1, 2004)

I don't think Cheney's heart is going to last until November so that ticket is most likely invalid...

Someone (May 1, 2004)

most of the kids who listen to yellowcard, the used, no doubt, etc. aren't even 18 yet. if they are, and they're stupid enough to listen to those bands, they'll probably be stupid enough to buy this CD and then forget to vote. also, vol 1 only sold 20,000 copies? that's good for a small punk band, but fat wreck is in all the suburban malls and huge chain stores. 20,000 copies is pathetic.

sorry i just read the article. 20,000 copies in the first week, that's good, not altogether.

BlondieStargaze (May 5, 2004)

It sounds to me like some of the posters here want this anti-Bush effort to all go away. They want that disgraceful excuse of a "leader" to continue his quest to ruin the Country for another four years.So they come in here and rant about "lame" this and "pathetic" that. Well, let me tell you all something: I'm no kid, in fact I'm probobly old enough to be your mama! And I've had plenty of years to see the wrong from the right. And Bush is wrong and the United States has GOT to get the right guy in on November 2. So please register and vote. Show your power.And the sweet sound of a new Administration will be music in many people's ears. Peace Out.

WTF? are you stupid? Bush has a forth grade reading level,. his favorite childhood book was THE HUNGRY CATAPILLAR, which was released one year after he graduated collage. He bought his way into skool.... He went to the best of skool's, only becuase of money, which denied a person from attending that worked hard for 12 years to get into them. He was arrested three times. Once for drunk driving as we all know.... But he also had his sister in his car too! And this wasn't something during his youth.... THis was when he was around his late 30's. The second arrest was stealing a christmas wreath for a prank.... THats bush's brains right there. Third arrest was acting disorderly at a foot ball game..... I've had food thrown all over me, and i've never seen ANYONE arrested at ANY sports game, I don't want to know what bush did to get arrested....NOrmal people don't

Did you buy the album? No? Dumbass. Fat Mike gave 40 reasons and an essay on the inside of the album jacket. The DVD included here also gives tons of reasons to hate Bush. Research.

Someone (May 25, 2004)

This newage punk stuff sucks. Real punks are anarchists. Real punks dont give a crap about anything but the music. All you guys are a bunch of posers. Just so you know I am not a punk, but a hang out with some people who claim to be, some are some are just hippies. Original Real Punks dont care about trees, or politics at all. I think majority of you guys are just SPOILED RICH BRATTS with to much time on their hands. Grow up and get an education, Like the guy said above. HAVE AN ARGUMENT!

Okay you do not have to be an anarchist to be punk. THat is just dumb. Punk is a kind of music you are a punk if thats the music you are into. Whether you give a shit about what bush is doing or rather what bush is fucking up, or not does not decifer whether you are a "punk" or not.

Andre (September 26, 2004)

You are a fag. Punks do what they want. A real punk disregards what is mainstream and lives life as an individual. And no, not all punks are Anarchists. It's damn obvious you aren't a punk, you ignorant.
