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. The Strung Out song is awesome! Best song on the comp by far. Jennie Finch is NOT hot, you've just been brainwashed by fat mike and the liberal media! New topic: Jennie Finch is hot. Score's for Jennie Finch. 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. Bush = awesome for political hardcore 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 life without bush? what would we complain about then? 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" Best communist is a beheaded communist 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. great CD. i got this yesterday. 95 percent of the tracks are great. Yeah, Suicide Machines are fucking awesome. ""I hope my country had a president like Bush..." I hope my country had a president like Bush... http://first182.com/tom2.jpg 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! Mmmyeah, I like blonde girls with black bushes. It's so freaky! 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. What's wrong with that guy Bush anyway. Fuck democrats, fuck republicans, support NSDAP!! *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" the only bad part about this cd is that i had to pay tax on it. 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" wow you guys are gay... everyone who comments on this site is gayyyy!! gay. did anyone see jon stewart hand that Fox reporter his ass tonight, it was soooo awesome. Rock Against Bush Vol 2? What the hell are you talking about? "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? Vol. 2 - Good Charlotte, Green Day, Lawrence Arms, Propagandhi Score is for Bruce Springsteen Bad Religion has a video on the DVD. So does Bill get killed in volume 2 then?? 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 aim: xwoxnelly message me for a sexy time 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. |
