Fat Mike has a dream, that one day we will all be free of the oppression of George W. Bush. Rock Against Bush Vol 1 shows that he's not alone in his dream, and the caliber of talent on here assures that the basic message of "Bush is a twit" will be getting to thousands very soon.

I don't think "Sad State Of Affairs" is ska really. a good point about bush remaining in power: in the anti-flag song they complain about sweat shops but then the t shirt i got from their gig is a fruit of the loom which is a swaet shop. 2 years and wher'e still alive, by the way , lot of good the cd did in getting Bush out of the white house ha ha ha! WAR YALL! deal with it left wing pussies! Scor is for the outcome of the election. We are all going to die in the next four years you people wouldn't know the truth if it shit on you. some of the bands on this bullshit cd were my favorite. I'll never listen to them again. It's not like i didn't know, after all most people in the music industry are liberal skum. How ever like you idiots they should open ther minds and learn the truth about John Fonda Kerry and the rest of the socilist in the democratic party. Pretty good compilation. My favourite tracks are the ones by None More Black, Alkaline Trio, Rise Against, Descendents, Strung Out (amazing track).. And the New Found Glory one. Yeah, I admit it, I think it's really good. Hmm not so bad. But I would like to know what Fat does with his billions of dollars he earned in the last few years... In comparison to most of the other garbage on this album, Ministry are defiitely independent and great. DOA/ Jello's track is the only one that I REALLY like...but I've had that song for 13 years now, I'm eagerly awaiting The Melvins Jello project. Why not put one of those songs on this thing, along with other AT bands. This comp needed more violent protest anthems to it, it's just too nice....it's like saying "hehehe we don't like you bush hehehe" when we should be saying...."We want your head on stick and to rape your children"...it's not literal...but it gets the disered attention and effect that it needs. This is just (mostly) a bunch of pop bands and alt rock bands contributing songs....with a few punk rock guys thrown in for measure. I do however apprecciate the effort andf all bands even the shitty ones on this comp get my respect for atleast trying. Future ideas for an anti-bush comp- get Ice T & Body count, Henry Rollins and whatever new band is backing him, Jello, Amen, F Minus, Paint It Black, or Black Cross to contribute, their names arent as money making but they are way more respectable and ball busting. I was just alerted to the garbage on this site by some Ministry fans. Listen, people, Ministry is not a mainstream band. They never sold millions of records. Also, they are pioneers of a genre of music called Industrial rock. The industrial genre is essentially what came after punk in the 70's when punk bands sold out and became commerical. Industrial was a combination of electronics and "found sounds" or samples. It was extremely confrontational anti-music that was first started by the group, Throbbing Gristle. Other groups followed Throbbing Gristle's lead such as SPK, Einsturzende Neubauten, and Skinny Puppy. In the mid-80's Ministry came along and combined elements of Industrial music with rock to create the industrial rock sub-genre. They were, in fact, very influential, whether you like thier music or not. If Ministy would have never come along there are a lot of bands that wouldn't even exist today. Oh yeah, and they were influential before LARD even came out with a CD so saying it's just because he met Jello Biafra is pretty silly. Listen, people, this album is fighting for a very important cause and I feel that's a hell of a lot more important than how you feel about a band on the CD or what genre this CD is supposed to be about. It's Called Rock Against Bush and Ministry is considered a rock band. Also, if you check out Punk Voter there are plenty of other bands on there that aren't punk. I support their efforts and if they want to get bands from other genres to work with them then more power to them. They need all of the help they can get to spread the word. Ministry is Industrial! They're also not mainstream. Go listen to Land of Rape and Honey and tell me that's a mainstream album. Ministry arent even punk. There fucking metal. Just because there friends with Jello Biafra doesnt meant there pioneers of anything. "Ministry has contributed more to music than most of these punk bands ever will. Al Jourgensen and his bands Ministry, REVCO, and LARD are some of the most influential groups in the Industrial metal music genre. Without them there are a lot of bands that wouldn't even exist today. Your statement just shows how completely ignorant you are when it comes to music." Your right it is good, one of the few though. Im so glad Rise Against haven't changed their sound after signing to Dreamworks. Give it All has to be the best song on the album by far. Jennie Finch is NOT hot, you've just been brainwashed by fat mike and the liberal media! Ministry has contributed more to music than most of these punk bands ever will. Al Jourgensen and his bands Ministry, REVCO, and LARD are some of the most influential groups in the Industrial metal music genre. Without them there are a lot of bands that wouldn't even exist today. Your statement just shows how completely ignorant you are when it comes to music. Ministry sucks. Simplistic lyrics, horrible vocals, repetitve music. This is aimed towards the guy who said Ministry's contribution was the summit of the comp. This album was a dissapointment basically because some of the bands like sum 41, nfg and the ataris. Their contributions are plain poor. I was quite dissapointed with the anti-flag song too. The speech was just a lame attempt to catch the spark 911 for peace left. Good cause. However, I'm not a fan of most of these bands except for Ministry and Jello Biafra(Dead Kennedys). The Ministry track rocks! One of their best tracks in years! The version of No W found on the album is an exclusive version of the song. A different one will be on their new album, Houses Of The Molé. The album is worth a purchase for that exclusive song alone. Ministry is in a league of their own and these other pop punk bands can't compete. Take that poser punks! its a pretty good comp. PS---> Sum 41's contribution on the comp. is pretty wicked...i have always thought that SUm 41's lyrics were pretty impressive and advanced for their genre of music that they have been categorized in, but this seems to be a step ahead for them musically. Props to SUM 41! Wicked comp....not too sure about New FOund Glory track? aggreeance with the "sticks out like a sore thumb" comment....can't knock them for putting the effort forth tho....Fat Mike must see something in them (just not sure what,..?) "Everybody in the world say that G.W.Bush is an asshole. I come from Switzerland. It's the same in France, Germany... He is a bad joke. I think that only the american poeple are blind" George W. is awesome dude. I hope he can come to my golf club and play some golf with me (republicans only golf club) besides the good intentions, epoxies and jello biafra w. DOA rule the day i'm tired of this poo poo. we're all gonna blow up or burn to death anyways, so let's just enjoy the music, do some drugs, and fuck like rabbits. WOO HOO! "1- The Nader cost Gore the election line is tired- and inaccurate. Gore couldn't carry his own state, many 3rd party candidates captured more than the final difference between Bush and Gore in Florida, and there's the major matter of 5 US Supreme Court Justices who STOPPED the recount. Go to resources like http://www.gregpalast.com for more information." left is right. say way you want about america, but at least we don't have "Now that's what i call music 57" why do yanks hate the left so much ? left or right, commie or capitalist, you yanks can not only fight wars under false pretences, you also manage to fight about who knows the best anti -bush info. You all seem to share a similar common goal, yet you argue and fight among yourselves trying to get one up on others. This is the reason things are so wrong in this world. ""I hope my country had a president like Bush..." i think we should just all agree that any further discussion of Bush on this site should refer to female pubic hair and not that idiot running your country "...and what about France? What a shithole. They fucking tried to (I don't know if it ever went through) ban the wearing of jewelery that displays a religious symbol Howe the fuck is sad state of affairs (descendents) a ska song dumbasses?! "Seriously - acknowledge that while the system might not be run by the best person (I personally think it is, but I do wish he'd seriously curtail spending) it is still the best system the world has seen and has proven to be the standard against which other governments are held and the model against which new ones are formed. " Maybe we should try Rocking TOWARDS Bush first. I actually read all (or at least most of the comments - some of that shit that Seth kid wrote was way too fucking long) and I wasn't gonna comment because, let's be honest here, arguing about politics on a punk site is about as pointless as arguing about punk music on a punk site. But when I read this comment - "the majority of Europe makes the US look like third world country, politically speaking the US is where Europe was 200 years ago" - I couldn't help but laugh and chuckle at the ignorance. 200 years ago was 1804 - and Europe was a vastly different place. France was just emerging from its revolution, Italy and Germany weren't even countries in today's sense, Russia was dominated by a Czar (or Tsar if you prefer) and Europe was still to see several traumatic and catastrophic wars. If anything, Europe has become more like America in the last 200 years. Look at the EU - Europe is trying to consolidate along Federalist and Republican (not the party, but ideas relating to a Republic) ideals to become a counterweight to American supremacy and economic dominance. To say Europe is more politically advanced is just absurd - I mean Italy alone has had like 20 different governments or something. The Suicide Machines latest album has more anti-bush, anti-neocon, anti-war songs than this comp. This comp isn't that good. I am sad. I love how it is simply the catch all of everyone and every country to blame Bush. "the majority of Europe makes the US look like third world country, politically speaking the US is where Europe was 200 years ago, if it were entirely up to the religious right and the republicans we would be living in a puritan society." In other news, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have included Modest Mouse's new record amongst their "hip-picks!" "the majority of Europe makes the US look like third world country, politically speaking the US is where Europe was 200 years ago, if it were entirely up to the religious right and the republicans we would be living in a puritan society." If you chance the "R" in "rock" for a "C," you get something entirely different! the descendents song is not a ska song, there notes separated by a pause. doesnt mean its a ska riff. morons. How bout we all quit arguing and agree on one FACT....Amerikkka is a highly uneducated, highly OVERRATED, self rightgeous, over polluted toilet run by silver spoon fed politicians and the religious right. Facts are facts people.....and this little harmless CD, though made with good intentions, isn't going to get anyone's attention. And, another thing, why is it that patriots always try to defend Amerikkka by saying "Hey, if you don't like it go live in Iraq or North Korea."...it's like, why don't you compare Amerikkka to a NON third world country and see how well it holds up lol....not very well...the majority of Europe makes the US look like third world country, politically speaking the US is where Europe was 200 years ago, if it were entirely up to the religious right and the republicans we would be living in a puritan society. 'This score is for girls who don't shave downtown' if a few million is thrown in your face and you have a decent excuse to misuse your powers... would you? what is more important to you? money or respect from less than half of the US population? The strung out song on this comp is absolutely disgusting. do they have a new full length coming out any time soon? i sure hope so "BSD, your an annoyance, and your left-wing propagandha tricks are just born out of an ignorance. 1- The Nader cost Gore the election line is tired- and inaccurate. Gore couldn't carry his own state, many 3rd party candidates captured more than the final difference between Bush and Gore in Florida, and there's the major matter of 5 US Supreme Court Justices who STOPPED the recount. Go to resources like http://www.gregpalast.com for more information. Hahahaha, Mikeinflames, I was gonna make a similar comment. Except mine went: "i'm assuming most of us are 18 on this board right now, so if enough of us unite in a vote, even if it is nader (!) it will show a huge stance the neo-liberalism and imperialism of the current administration(and past ones). even if nader get 13% it will show a lot of people want change." [i]you could listen to a million songs and not learn as much as you would from one book, or even a newspaper. 50 word poems filled with unintelligent rhetoric will not exactly make George Bush be quiverring in his boots, so why make this CD? Probably because it is a clever marketing cd; kids think it is cool to hate your government, they have no real idea why but when asked, theyre pretty sure that 'george bush is a cunt'.[/i] Personally I love Bush i'm gonna end this discussion right now. *hear Whenever I here a country club mentioned, I always think of the Karate Kid. "I'm done arguing about politics." Seth Cohen is a fag. Libertarians are stealth Republicans. fuck your american tax dollars there are maimed children in iraq and afghanistan asswipes Fuck Bush Fuck Kerry Fuck our two party piece of shit system and fuck you "If your Dad and your whole family was truly liberal, you wouldn't be voting for Kerry. Frankly, being a Democrat at a country club isn't shocking, or in fact, mildly surprising. The Democrats favor big government, and give a lot, if not just as many, corporate handouts as the Republicans do." The DVD is way better than the cd......buy it for the DVD. why the hell did the Ataris have to ruin Heaven is falling?? i hate these "punk" kids with their rules about what you can and can't do. you gotta bust balls over a being a country club member? these are the same hippie fucks that whine about warped tour sponsers. that shit is nothing to complain about. you better never buy a pepsi. Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos! Why would he vote 3rd party? To throw his vote away? You're a fucking moron. "although my Dad voted for Gore and will vote for Kerry along w/ me and my mom and sister....all members of a country club. my dad is very liberal, so dont' believe every stereotype you believe. just like not all punks have liberty spikes and beg for change. Not everyone at a country club is a republican." Good argument. Maybe I'm just jealous because I have to pay green's fees. "I also play golf, and am far from "punk". (the name is deceptive" I play tennis. I also play golf, and am far from "punk". (the name is deceptive) Blah blah blah. To the guy talking about all the stuff that "rules"....you belong to a country club? Quit bitching. To the guy talking about all the stuff that "rules"....you belong to a country club? Quit bitching. To the guy who's bitching at me about propagandhi: the best song on this is the New Found Glory Song. "unintelligent rhetoric will not exactly make George Bush be quiverring in his boots" gay. did anyone see jon stewart hand that Fox reporter his ass tonight, it was soooo awesome. "Propagandhi? What the hell are you talking about?" Honestly...I love the cause....but I hate tyhe way it is being executed...it is wayyyy too cutesy and non-threatening. How is this shit gonna catch anyone's attention? NFG?!? Ataris?! The only worthy tracks on here are the Jello/DOA, Descendents and maybe a couple others...but nothing makes me want to rip anyone's head off. I mean, if you want change you need to piss someone off and get some attention. Ice T knew this, Fat Mike should. How about a comp with some really threatening bands (if any still exist), with original songs about their opinions on the current state of the US, as violent and unrelentingly honest as any. While this comp is just like some little kid coming upo behind Bush poking him with a straw giggling, we should have a comp that puts a freakin' gun to his head and makes him wet his panties. Propagandhi? What the hell are you talking about? What the fuck is going on with Alkaline Trio's fourth member? when i bought this album i saw a strange inscription on the cd that said H.M. (Hugo Montero) as i listened to the cd absolutepunk.net (music mends broken hearts) started bleeding...true story i bought this, and it kind of sucks. anything good on here i already heard with the exception of the new nofx song. fuck bush though, hells ya thats why i bought it... i guess vol 2 should have green day and good charlotte. sounds like a party.... eeeghh Holy shit but does this Descendents song ever sound like Bad Religion. And the Trio have been introducing their mysterious 4th member while on the RAB Tour. Name change coming? ^_~ I'm done arguing about politics, and I agree with Greg. But the fact of the matter is that I haven't had everything handed to me. My father worked his ass off to get where he is now, and he has always told me that if I ever want to acheive anything I need to work hard too. I have zero sympathy for people who do nothing and have everything. I've grown up around it, and I detest it. People should work hard to get anything, plain and simple. BSD, your an annoyance, and your left-wing propagandha tricks are just born out of an ignorance. Now, here's the real topic worth arguing over: "I don't care if they make $10,000 a year or over a million." please, this is a music review keep it about the music. ""Iraq didn't attack anyone. Especially not the United States. They had no WMDs. None were ever found. Pay attention to the news. Iraq was never a threat to the United States. Watch the Condoleeza Rice interview and the interviews with Donald Rumsfeld." "Oh yes everyone outside of your elite social circle is a mistake." i dont see how the descendents song is ska. and if all of none more blacks stuff sounds like the song on the cd, it doesnt really make me want to check them out. "everyone kill themself on 3....2....1" So did anyone celebrate 4/20 or did everyone go buy this over-priced comp just to bitch about it. And what terrible art work as well (kind of like War on Errorism). "Are those “extreme views” the kind of shaded racist and misogynistic fears that whites have been nursing all along?" "Don’t you think that the government learned it’s lesson well in the 70’s after the outrage many felt at seeing casket after casket, draped in the US flag, shipped home for burial, every night on the evening news?" "I didn't talk about religion and I don't want to get into because that will just open a whole other can of worms, but it's not just Christians going off and doing this stuff. The Iraqis are doing the same stuff, they just are doing it more cowardly as in using car bombs, not to mention mutilating already dead bodies. I guess those car bombs today that killed 68 people and 18 children is America's fault too. Whatever. Don’t you find the US already leaning towards an Orwellian existence? Does the Patriot Act ring a bell? Are you willing to support a man whose policies have infringed on THE VERY RIGHTS this country was founded on? Are those “extreme views” the kind of shaded racist and misogynistic fears that whites have been nursing all along? I'm voting for whoever promises to get shit music off the radio. Fuck Iraq, Puddle of Mudd is the real issue here. SKA IS BACK!(some say it never left...) "Yes, Fat Mike holds a biased opinion. Yes, MoveOn.org uses mudslinging tactics. So does everyone who has some sort of political agenda. The best way to get a message out to the people is to use shock tactics. If you need an example, look at how popular Marilyn Manson is." "I like how you represent people you think are less fit than a bumbling, coked up hillbilly with a group of three black men. Are you afraid?" When did the US assume the role of the planet's police officer? "1- I think it would be wonderful for the Bush Administration to take some responsibility for the 9/11 intelligence failures. The information pouring out of the 9/11 commission indicates the following: Yes, some intelligence problems were endemic to the FBI/CIA antagonistic relationship which pre-dated the Bush administration. However, once in power his administration emphasized the Missile Defense Shield boondoggle over Al Queda threats. A real leader is able to stand up and say "I am in charge, and this awful event happened on my watch." So far, the Bush Administration has chosen NOT to stand up and take responsibility. That's a damn shame, and yet another reason to not support him in November. " "Iraq didn't attack anyone. Especially not the United States. They had no WMDs. None were ever found. Pay attention to the news. Iraq was never a threat to the United States. Watch the Condoleeza Rice interview and the interviews with Donald Rumsfeld." Ok first off I know that this is anti-bush not support Kerry. But honestly look and see that Kerry would make a worse president. Bush isn't magnificent like everyone wants him to be and he looks like a monkey but otherwise Kerry contradicts himself more then almost all humans. Otherwise good cd just offtarget. I went to Italy recently and there was anti Bush shit EVERYWHERE. It's not good when the entire world hates our leader. They always hate our leader but this time they hate him with a passion. Republicans or Democrats, you're both dirty bastards. "I think it would be funny to see Johnny Cochran, Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson get president one day. These people have the same ideas a lot of people here seem to support which all border on communist in my opinion. When you see how bad our country has gone to hell then, and how we are a weak country who can't protect ourselves, then maybe you'll understand. Who the hell is going to aspire to be something then. Who is going to want to go to school all that extra time to be a doctor or lawyer or any other high paying position when they know that they didn't even have to go to school, and would be making the same, if not more by being a nothing. At least in a conservative country it encourages people to have dreams and try to acheive them. The saddest thing is that all the 14 and 15 year old kids who think it's punk to be democrat and are going to grow up close minded and only listen to one man and his opinions. It's like absolutepunk.net. It's people who have no credibility other than they were lucky enough to get their voice heard telling people how to think and what to do. It's such propaganda. I think every person here enjoys their freedoms and when we don't have it one day, then you can thank these ideas that sound so good in theory but work so bad in the real world." SETH COHEN you should know this another lame comment from SETH COHEN If I cared what people think of me, I would have posted anonymously like you "Rock Aginst Girls Who Don't Shave Their Bush Vol. 1" 1- I think it would be wonderful for the Bush Administration to take some responsibility for the 9/11 intelligence failures. The information pouring out of the 9/11 commission indicates the following: Yes, some intelligence problems were endemic to the FBI/CIA antagonistic relationship which pre-dated the Bush administration. However, once in power his administration emphasized the Missile Defense Shield boondoggle over Al Queda threats. A real leader is able to stand up and say "I am in charge, and this awful event happened on my watch." So far, the Bush Administration has chosen NOT to stand up and take responsibility. That's a damn shame, and yet another reason to not support him in November. SETH COHEN suck a cock you uptight geek ..this is what he said earlier... (WHAT WOULD'VE BEEN THE PURPOSE OF THAT?) "The reason that the United States is hated by most Middle Eastern countries is because we take so many liberties when enforcing or creating 'Freedom.'" "I guess we should have just waited until us, or somebody else was attacked first. The only reason there is blame being thrown here is because we attacked first. Unless I am totally wrong here, and I might be, we gave them a few warnings... " i didnt mean johnny cochran, i meant hillary clinton. my bad I think it would be funny to see Johnny Cochran, Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson get president one day. These people have the same ideas a lot of people here seem to support which all border on communist in my opinion. When you see how bad our country has gone to hell then, and how we are a weak country who can't protect ourselves, then maybe you'll understand. Who the hell is going to aspire to be something then. Who is going to want to go to school all that extra time to be a doctor or lawyer or any other high paying position when they know that they didn't even have to go to school, and would be making the same, if not more by being a nothing.

I think every person here enjoys their freedoms and when we don't have it one day, then you can thank these ideas that sound so good in theory but work so bad in the real world. Wow, I like to thank everyone who posted agienst this stupid idear to sell a album. I gives me great hope theres still people in America that arnt Morons. Stupid ass record company (WHAT WOULD'VE BEEN THE PURPOSE OF THAT?) Hey Everybody! buy this Cd! Jump on the BandWagon for morons and morons alike. I love when bland white kids decide to "unite" and "take a stand". A READ BETWEEN THE LINES ANALYSIS OF A MORON: "I never said they didn't I just think there are more important things to think about, like our soldiers dying needlessly in Viet..err Iraq." I love when people debate politics, it's so cute. It's just like arguing about music, it'll never end... You so called republi-cunts are too funny. "simultaneously preaching the equality of mankind on racial and mental levels even though objective reality has no evidence of the former in an observable form" "It's a fact the taxes will rise. It's been reported numerous times." The war was not inevidible. The fact that we are the only country (besides England or Japan, but really, the prime ministers of both countries are just licking Bush's asshole) that was for this war should say something. Pay attention to the world, not just your own personal preferences. Anyone know who is on Vol 2? this is a pro-Kerry album, which is ridiculous. Do you really think things would be any better under Kerry than under Bush, they're both wealthy white men from the upper crust of society. Their attempt at appearing different is a charade. Man I didnt see any of you jackasses do any against clinton comps.The main reason why a majority of the american people thought he was decent was because he supported gays and didnt start any wars because he too much of a pussy to start any shit anyway. When he got into the Lewinsky scandal, nobody paid any attention to what was going on with the economy or anything. Everybody paid attention to the fucking scandal. I hate you stubborn bastards who listen to your fav. bands thinking what their saying is true. Clinton would have gotten bin Laden in his hands but he didnt because he didnt think Osama was a threat. Clinton could've stop everything. He had all the information that pointed that bin Laden had something up his sleeve but Clinton didnt go after him. Everybody blames bush for not stopping 9/11 or he knew about the attacks that were planned. Clinton is the fuckhead that should be blamed for the knowing about bin Ladens plan ahead of time, not Bush. You all go ahead and vote for John fucking Kerry. And when he does go into office and he is a shitty president, I would be the only Bush supporter laughing in your(including Fat ass Fat Mike) faces. The war was something that was inevidible there was no way around it. Peace talks would've gone to shit any way. The hundreds of soldiers dying is something that we cant change, its part of war people die either its 1 soldier or a million soldiers. Even through all the deaths it will turn out for the better but later than you think. In all, Fuck Fat Mike, Fuck You Liberals, Fuck Kerry, and Fuck this website. I will go on to better things. VOTE FOR BUSH: VOTE AGAINST KERRY IM OUTTA HERE I'm all about when people say "the fact of the matter is", to preface a point, just like pro wrestlers do. Is it ignorant only because the view differs from yours? How can you say you aren't the ignorant one? Wow, I thought that there were some ignorant people out there. But some of you top the fuckin taco. This is one of the most incredible political movements ever. Millions of people who knew nothing are showing interest and thousands are regestering to vote. Fat Mike is the man. blow me A fuck, this disc is growing on me. One day you're just gonna have to accept that there are lazy people, fella. Quit being a preening, crying, whining boy, grow some backbone, and don't toss around stale words like "racist" in attempts to preempt the credibility of a man with an opinion that doesn't gel with yours. And while I don't speak for Seth, my daddy taught me nothing--reality did. So stand on your soapbox and preach your ability to recognize reality because you help ex-junkies grapple with crises and help them to overcome seemingly unbearbale obstacles while preaching that the media has no control over you while simultaneously preaching the equality of mankind on racial and mental levels even though objective reality has no evidence of the former in an observable form. TV taught you, kiddo. Pack up your shit and move along to saving the world, one track mark at a time. You're finished. John Kerry's new commercial- It's a fact the taxes will rise. It's been reported numerous times. I never said anything about blacks either. Fuck you for assuming shit you assume. "...from pretty good to mediocre to Pennywise" agree with fat mike and his message or not, at least he's out there getting attention for his cause. it's sure better than all us people whining on the internet and not doing anything. Saying Bush is an ass is now becoming like saying Blink 182 are sell outs. wow this guy is damn ignorant below me. nothing like a republican to be concerned that 'if we elect a demo, more of my taxes will go to the niggers and wetbacks, ship those animals to cuba i tell you' so instead of taxing, lets spend all the money we don't have, so the rich can have some back, yay! The tax increases that will happen if Kerry gets into office are ridiculous. It's so stupid for Americans who work hard have to spend their money that some worked very hard to earn to have to give so much of it back to people who are too lazy to work. America gives to many free handouts. Instead of giving the lazy and unemployed handouts, only encouraging their laziness, why not get them up and working. And then to have to support illegal immigrants is also stupid. They don't speak English often times, and don't have simple things like insurance. Therefore, putting an unneeded burden on people who don't need it. It's fucking robbery. People steal your money through the government, and then a lot of them don't mind stealing your shit from your house either, or making up bullshit lawsuits to get money that way. It's these people who cause a lot of the problems in this country, so they should just fucking leave. If they want free handouts, move to fucking Cuba. "Don't get me wrong, I want bush out of there but fat mike is just fucking stupid. And it gets really annoying when everyone in the free world anywhere associated with "punk rock" is wearing their anti bush shirts because thats the cool thing to do." Really good songs:Alk3, Rise Against and ....New found glory. yes i said it. No one has said anything about this song, I think because you all realize its good but no one wants to admit it. Well I will. I think this is a damn good song, way better than the other pop punk bands showings on this comp. >>the environment problems and major world problems involve personal attention, not just blaming it on a president, that is not largely responsible for a lot you people pin on him anyway. im so fucking sick of the hate bush punk bandwagon. Im so fucking sick of fat mikes lame ass propaganda. Don't get me wrong, I want bush out of there but fat mike is just fucking stupid. And it gets really annoying when everyone in the free world anywhere associated with "punk rock" is wearing their anti bush shirts because thats the cool thing to do. I don't want to see little 6th and 7th graders sporting anti flag shirts saying "fuck bush" when they don't know a damn thing about politics. In my opinion it is a positive thing to remove someone who has sent over 700 troops to their death, countless innocent Iraqis to their death, stop a homophobe from permantly making gays second class citizens, help the enviroment, and remove a liar from office(and not just someone lying about a BJ). And I don't think its fair to critisize Kerry for who he married. Kerry may not be perfect, but its a step in the right direction. If there ever was a perfect comp, this is the closest you're going to get. The record store over here already sold out of 'em today so I'll hafta wait a few more days for my copy. Fuck scrolling down to see if this was already discussed... Jesse - Can someone please explain the NOFX song to me. Is it just me or does the song have nothing to do with bush or politics. I don't get it. "If you're dumb enough to vote, you're fucking dumb enough to believe 'em" For Jason- Haha I like the Ataris comment about the talkboy. I forgot all about those. Wanna hear something funny? Go to the PunkVoter website and search for the keyword "bush" in the last year. It will give you a huge list of matches, all displaying that Bush veto label. As much as I dislike bush, and still listen to punk bands in my mid-twenties, I think greg6711 is right about channeling all of the negativity towards bush into something positive. However, that's kind of tough to do when we seem to be constantly in a state of conflict. If more of my tax dollars could go to AIDS research or programs for poor single mothers, or troubled children instead of war and weaponery (No, i'm not saying that all of our money is poured into defense either), but being a pacifist, any is too much!), I might actaully shut my mouth once in a while! Dam great CD and dam good reason for it. Get Bush out of Government. I vote for republicans but i won't vote for him!!! To anyone dissapointed with the comp, remember it is a comp...and it's not going to great the whole way through. This is like the longest period of time not one person has said a bad thing about A3 in a thread. BSD, are you gonna take a shot or what? This Alkaline Trio song is amazing. Something that stays true to the Trio but still has a fresh sound. Badass. im a little upset that the david cross footage on the dvd is from his act 2 years ago and that it appears on his cd. but its still fucking rad that he is on this. The Epoxies song made me cringe. I really dislike how the singer plays up the highs of her voice. It's not charming. It's annoying. "Fat Mike is a voting American who also happens to front a punk band. He is standing up for what he believes in and is making his voice heard. He also has the support of several other people." Methinks the NOFX song is just a cut from The War On Errorism. Listen to the commercial from the Regaining Unconsciousness EP. Sounds like one of the "Dude, that didn't make the record" songs. I know they recorded for this comp though. Maybe just some improvements. Oh well, good song anyway "Holy shit, Modest Mouse is outselling Barry Manilow and the Duff!" "Did you ever consider voting for an honest, free-thinking politician like Dubya" o yeah alkaline trio and rise against are very good the alkaline trio song is one of thebest on the album, the strung out song is awesome as well. strung outs new album is gonna be the best this year. i expect to see fat in the postbush era regress back to penny ante charity contributions and a likewise regression in songwriting or interest in there roster of bands as we miss bush like all the 80's punk bands miss reagan. the new rise against song is AMAZING.. the offspring song is good but old.. none more black one is cool too.. The new Strung Out sounds a bit more metal. YAH! I'm going to pick this up for the new Strung Out track. Is it any good? And is it poppy or metal-ish? An album like this is made because this country is too fucking stupid to see that President Warbrain and the Chickenhawks are leading America in a dangerous direction. With Bush, we are turning into Jesus freak nation. i like the cause and all but i got this today and think its actually pretty weak.. i dunno. i dont like the none more black song as much as any of the song the cd, but i think i just dont like the production. the descendents song was unreleased for a reason, and other than the songs ive heard already, the only pleasant suprise was the soviettes, damn i like that track. the alkaline trio song was cool too http://www.billboard.com/bb/charts/bb200.jsp The Against Me! song is absolutely brilliant. I didn't think they could top the acoustic version, but somehow, they did. I want to cry when I hear it. "...voting for an honest, free-thinking politician like Dubya instead of a rich thickhead like Kerry..." I forgot that this came out today. "There is a full album. The song "Thats Progress" is from the album "Last Scream Of The Missing Neighbors' that Jello released with DOA in 1989 on Alt Tentacles. " "Everybody in the world say that G.W.Bush is an asshole. I come from Switzerland. It's the same in France, Germany... He is a bad joke. I think that only the american poeple are blind" You people are horrible, I hope when you realize how ignorant you're hippy politics are you drop dead. Did you ever consider voting for an honest, free-thinking politician like Dubya instead of a rich thickhead like Kerry There is a full album. The song "Thats Progress" is from the album "Last Scream Of The Missing Neighbors' that Jello released with DOA in 1989 on Alt Tentacles. To the anonymous poster- Oh yea that new Stereotyperider 'Under the Influence' is out today. It rocks as well. Everybody in the world say that G.W.Bush is an asshole. I come from Switzerland. It's the same in France, Germany... He is a bad joke. I think that only the american poeple are blind The Epoxies? Ugh.... The Soviettes won this comp and all you idiots forgot about that. "Paranoia Cha Cha Cha" is better than the entire last 3/4 of LP. It might even be better than the first three songs on LP. The Epoxies would've won except that they couldn't be bothered to write a new song. As it stands, Against Me! came in a close second. And "Sad State of Affairs" is hardly ska. It's not good, but it's not ska. *make ' I hate people like Fat Mike and Michael moore that use that dont shut the fuck up. ' Fat Mike is a voting American who also happens to front a punk band. He is standing up for what he believes in and is making his voice heard. He also has the support of several other people. Interview with Joey Shithead/D.O.A.: "ending the album with an acoustic Ataris song really seems to go against any spirit the album had attempted to maintain." The Rock Against Bush comp is really weak. There are a couple of standout tracks (though that notion may be heavily dependent on which bands you like), however as a compilation itself, it is incredibly sloppy. The track listing seems to follow no such formula and there is zero grace to be found. The New Found Glory song sticks out like a sore thumb and ending the album with an acoustic Ataris song really seems to go against any spirit the album had attempted to maintain. It's a haven for unreleased material of bands you may like, but it's really better suited as a mixtape you made on the go for music on the subway, as opposed to a 'fully functioning' comp. I got this CD back on Friday and my only big complaint about it is the Bad Religion cover that The Ataris did. Horrible bands like The Ataris shouldn’t be allowed to cover good songs by good bands like Bad Religion... Fat Mike and Micahel Moore let their emotions corrup their message, though I agree with their opinions most of the time, i'd rather read howard zinn or Michael Parenti, there's less distortion of facts! Are you retarded? I didnt even make a comment on anything except how i hate fat mike with a passion. "I hate Fat Mike with a passion." I just bought this at lunch. the nofx song is weak as shit Just to watch political science here for a second...of course the DVD isn't going to be radical, because Fat Mike is aligning himself with the "Change within the system" folks as of late, as opposed to the radicals, who seek not reform, but rather complete change. Good review. How was the World Inferno song? Cause I heard they were on it. Also, what is the name of the song they do on it? I just heard part of the ALK3 song on the website, and it's way fresh. "it's about uniting against a common enemy." | Features
