fuck anyone who thinks rise against will ever be more relevant than bad religion and fuck anyone who thinks rise against's last 3 records are better than bad religion's last 3. I'm not quick to defend old bands who are washed up, but I don't think bad religion is necessarily one of those bands.

The amount of colors for the Goddamnit Redux was absurd. So stupid. 4 would have been plenty, but instead they did like 9?

So do all the records in the box set come with the inserts that they would normally have if sold seperately?

This woman is totally evil, but although it may imply it and be intended to be as such, it really doesn't say anything about "separation of church and state" in the first ammendment. I believe that this is a loophole used in situations exactly like these by people like Christine O'Donnell and the religious right that has this country's balls in a vice grip. Around 85% of congress is Christian. (54.7% protestant, 30.1% catholic) They use shit like this to seem less insane and appeal to their equally, if not more crazy fanbase of moronic nationalist/racist cheerleaders. I should note that I am staunchly anti-religion and in summation: Fuck Christine O'Donnell.

this girl sounds like a real winner

this is the worst thread ever

that is a fledgling great horned owl. if it isn't hurt, it will be able to fly very soon. at that age they can also climb very well. there is probably a nest nearby. if it is indeed injured (sometimes they can get hurt while learning to fly) it is best to let the wildlife people handle it because they have very strong feet and talons.

I like my women like I like my skateboard, riding it in broad daylight while listening to the misfits "earth AD". record player

how original

One of my favorite artists! Frank will be missed.

Your LA list is never going to end...

it's really sad that people would sit around and exalt/smite people for little to no reason...

this whole "standing" thing sounds really really stupid. never heard of anyone doing that.

when did Fat Mike become a total bummer?

On the old G7 radio show, He referred to them as "Epilaugh". Haha. But anyway, Fat expressed no interest in putting out "Supporting Caste", which is why they went to Smallman (who did a great job as far as I'm concerned.) How anyone could have any lack of respect for Propagandhi is beyond me. They've always stuck to their guns and been honest. The truth is, even if Chris was being tongue-in-cheek, they are on top of their game right now. They are finally writing and putting out excellent records consistently, as well as getting out and touring. And that's fucking refreshing because they rule. Whatever label they go with better treat these motherfuckers well.

I really really like this album, or should I say these 10 songs.

a pm of this would be much appreciated!

haha, I'm actually in the (slow, agonizing) process!

Why would you willingly give us money for five years if you didn't like what you were getting? Seems like an extremely poor choice on your part. AP isn't for everyone, but thanks for at least trying us out. Also, we've never -- never, ever, ever, ever -- had an issue with 90% ads. At our worst, we're 50% ads (which is still significantly better than most any other mid-to-large-sized magazine you've ever read). We generally hover around 40% ads. I feel like I've explained that 10,000 times before, but it still hasn't changed. Don't get me wrong, there were a few cool articles buried in the wreckage, but over time it seemed to gradually get worse and worse. Plus, I was like 14-17 at the time. I think it was around 2002-2006. I'm still pretty dumb, but maybe less gullible. I also wanted to share this excerpt from the NOFX interview from the April/May '04 issue of AMP: If you could undo any one thing that you as a band have done, what would it be? Melvin- Uh... the AP interview... (Laughs) Yeah, that sucked. They had so much good information, and they just used stupid stuff. They also wrote that we were 12 when NOFX started. That's not true. That says a lot, I think. That AP issue with NOFX was a big deal, with it being their return to interviews and all, and especially since NOFX is so popular and revered. (They were also my favorite band at the time.) It could have been so much more. And I guess 40% ads is not really an issue, it's what a lot of them are for that bothers me. I guess I just wish it was more about the music, but what are ya gonna do.

There are two types of bands we put on our cover: Bands we think that will sell issues, and bands we like. Frequently, those two types overlap, but sometimes, they don't -- we knew going into the AM! issue that it most likely wasn't going to sell gangbusters, but we believed in the band and the record, and thought they would reciprocate. They never once mentioned the issue even existing. Not on MySpace, their website, anywhere. Their label didn't do any promotion for it, either (usually, labels make snipes--aka those big posters you see plastered all over major cities--to promote the cover). The band deemed themselves as too cool for AP and split, leaving us holding the bag. But even after that, we still liked the band and continued to write about them. Until we saw this interview Tom did with Chris from Propagandhi, done for the now-defunct Blender (of all magazines!): http://www.blender.com/blender-blog/76979/tom-gabel-of-against-me-interviews-chris-hannah-propagandhi.html Okay, so we know Chris Hannah is a misanthropic prick who has always said shit about AP to other people but never to us (I once cold-called him to try to get to the bottom of his beef, and he was surprisingly cordial--further proof that 99% of shittalkers will never actually own up when confronted). It's not like his remarks were anything out of the ordinary. But what got under our skin was how Tom totally telegraphed the question to make us look shitty. He might've been going for a laugh, but he completely disrespected us -- and considering we've been the only major magazine to consistently write about his band for nearly a decade, we took it as a pretty goddamn big slap to the face. I'm going to get so much shit for this, but as someone who subscribed to your shitrag for 4 or 5 years, (inevitably being let down again and again by it's lack of substance) I'm going to go ahead and say that Tom Gabel didn't have to try to hard to make AP look shitty, because it does that itself. I think Chris Hannah's "misanthropy" is completely justified considering the complete pablum that AP churns out month after month. Coincidentally, I believe Chris Hannah and Tom Gabel are probably THE two most honest and interesting figures in punk rock music today. Frankly, if they shit talked your magazine that has like 90% ads (particularly nauseating was the clothing section, with $100+ jeans, etc.) and isn't really "Alternative" at all, well... Good.

agreed. HEY RAD.

these are from facebook.... very cool! great collection.
