chickin'pickin' Posted May 18, 2008 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.

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
randomness Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 yeh good vid.haha at that train/tram whatever it is going across the road, that was weird.
armatageshanks Posted May 18, 2008 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.
Whatsername868 Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 I love the boys of Anti-Flag so much. Thanks for the video.
cris_spain Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 I love Justin's voice. Yeah... I love that man.Thanks for posting
MrGreenDayUK Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Yeah... I love that man.Thanks for postingWeren't me that posted, china.
Trotsky Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Psh, Justin is already picking up a British accent. He's moving to London, I heard.
MrGreenDayUK Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Psh, Justin is already picking up a British accent. He's moving to London, I heard.Yeah, he is indeed. Although it's apparently more of an extended holiday, nothing permanent.
Trotsky Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Yeah, he is indeed. Although it's apparently more of an extended holiday, nothing permanent.Maybe the CIA sent a hitman after him
MrGreenDayUK Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Maybe the CIA sent a hitman after him Anyone heard that song Goonshadow? I love it =PI do find it quite ironic that he's moving to Britain.The people are 'more warm' apparently.I can picture it:JS: Hello sir, please direct me to the Ramen isle...Tesco: Fuck off and sort yer fuckin hair out prick.JS: Have a nice day.Tesco: Fuckin' comin over 'ere an' takin our jobs, cunt. Fuckin' Communazi.
14razorbacks Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 green day + anti-flag = =Di think punk rock is a mentality anyway.and yeah, what he said is totally true.through green day ive got into the clash the stiff little fingers, rancid, operation ivy, anti-flag, nofx, the ramones,not to mention non-punk rock bands green day have got me into; ryan adams, the beatles, the who..
DeJennsitized Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Ah, the interviewer had a Northern Irish accent But yeah, good on Justin for putting that guy straight.
Fuzz Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Am i the only one who thought of Joe Cool after seeing this?And i thought he had a great response.
Boston Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 That's really cool that he thinks that way. I feel the same way about Green Day.
Mommy's Little Nightmare Posted May 19, 2008 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.
TotalBasketCase13 Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Cool, I really like Anti-Flag. Justin seems like a really nice guy. I agree with what he said too.
FruscianteForPrez08 Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Maybe the CIA sent a hitman after him That reminded me of John Feldmann getting harassed by the FBI Justin better watch his back...
rudiecantfail Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 Am i the only one who thought of Joe Cool after seeing this?And i thought he had a great response.dude, what happened to that kid!
