chickin'pickin' Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I know. But it was his choice to make no money from them. They could have quite easily dumbed down, signed a huge record deal and got fucking minted. I'm just saying, he went back on what he stood for which lost him a lot of respect.They signed more than one quite significant record deal... EMIA+RVirgin..all amounting to more than peanuts. But the band claim to have seen next to nothing from these. Aside from attacking Green Day, I don't see whats so wrong with the man, to be honest.... I don't think there'd be as much distaste if he chose to pick on another band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there'd be as much distaste if he chose to pick on another band.There's loads of people who bash Green Day, I don't hate them all, I see no problem with it. They're allowed opinions and I can relate to a lot of the criticisms. Had The Sex Pistols been a little more savvy they could have had anything they wanted from those record deals. The punk thing was massive, record companies would have paid more if they'd been more hard-nosed.Johnny Rotten is a wanker. But then, Frank Carter from Gallows is a wanker. It's the job of punk frontmen to be wankers. The man pisses me off immensely with his general air of superiority and the idea that he's still relevant. I mean, Goldfinger were once kicked off the Sex Pistols tour for telling people to throw things on stage, so the Pistols had to play with a stage with rubbish on it. This is coming from a band who used to destroy venues totally. He's a hypocrite.Still, the music was good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armatageshanks Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I've never been a gigantic Anti-Flag fan, but they always seem like genuinely good guys and I admire the message they try to spread.So props to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy's Little Nightmare Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 That's awesome. He's definitely made a good point too, not only about the speaking against Bush thing with Green Day, but about Blink 182, and the hairstyles and stuff too.
