and he winked when he said that too i actually first heard them on like Conan, or letterman, leno, or Kimmel playin' Thrash Unreal, and i loved them since
Wow, these guys play great live and Tom gets as much energy into this live performance as he puts on record. Great live band. I only got to see half their set at Warped Tour, and I regret it.
yeah these guys are pretty cool too, i played foosball against them backstage at joe louis arena in detroit. They're all pretty down to earth! Keep rocking guys!
I don't get the selling out deal with a band like Against Me! They're still writing their songs and not playing music being handed to them. If they can make more money doing what they love, then fuck it, I say for anyone to be able to do that to go ahead and do it.
to dballkenz : they didn't originally even plan on being labeled as punk I'm sure, it's just the lyrics of their music that most relates to the ideas that many punk bands/punk fans believe in (anarchy etc.) and they are just favored mostly by punks rather than fans of other genres.
@olives937 no thats wrong because what they were doing first WAS original and different than anything else, what they changed to wasnt original at all and has been done a million times
Ya im serious, gas light anthem is good, but these guys are way better, there is absolutely no comparison. gas light is good i will admit but there is no competition
I agree with olives, I don't see at all how they sold out. Have you read Gabel's reviews about being on a major label, they get absolute freedom thanks to Butch Vig, you know the guy who produced Nevermind by Nirvana and Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins. Their folk-punk was great but do you really think someone as politically charged as Gabel would constrain himself to folk punk, it was only a matter of time till he he wanted to try out new genres of music to get his messages across.
@zero6gg He grew up and developed some maturity and realized that the "anarchy" scene he grew up in was delusional, simplistic, hypocritical, and so caustic as to never make any positive contribution outside the simpletons already subscribing to it.
It is not ironic because cursing isn't important and he realized that. He also, maybe, was just trying to have respect for the people and children watching at home.
@JJSHIZZ why do people always have to compare??...for me GLA and AM are both great bands...if you don't like both of them just stick to one or smt and don't do stupid comparisonsO.o
nope. there is tons of good bands and artists who have been on letterman. tom waits is a reoccurring artists who goes on letterman as well as bruce springsteen
they are a punk band but i dont think they really have a genre. Their early stuff was punk, they do much acoustic stuff, they do rock... they have many genre it seems. GREAT BAND !
eh, is new wave even a genre? and dude that is just a song/album name. doesnt mean its their genre.... so your saying as the eternal cowboy is a genre (im a smart ass)... but yeah good band
In an interview he states he stills believe in anarchist views, things like being in control of your personnel self and what you do, bit he also has grown up a bit and he says he now realized there are boundaries. So their not the lovable anarchist punks they used to be? People want them to be a certain way, but they are a band and they grow and mature. Who the fuck kind of musician wants to write the same album 15 different times?
this band really used to be the best band in the world easily. too bad about everything. Not saying they're "sell-outs," they just get paid now and make disappointing music compared to, say, "Walking is Still Honest"
@olives937 It's not that theu sold out! It's that their new music is so fucking bland that I find it incredibly hard to listen to. I do like some more "mainstream" sounding bands, but I just hate the new against me because they can do so much more musically.
Is it really that important that we cuss and swear? I mean the primary reason why people do cuss so much is because it's considered "bad." And like somebody said, it's not like anybody is going to make a big deal because a punk band cussed on TV. All they get a fine and a slap on the wrist. oooh, hardcore.
for 1, the cure sucks (no offense to any 1 who likes them, just an opinion which i am entitled to). when i said "is new wave even a genre?" that was sarcasm. i just dont think against me fits in new wave genre. I dont even really know if they fit in any genre, acoustic folk type music, Punk rock music, just many styles of rock. and once again, They are a great band!
Against Me: Highly underrated, they are brilliant.
OMG when she winked I died of the cuteness ;) But yeah they rocked like usual.
Rme
and he winked when he said that too
i actually first heard them on like Conan, or letterman, leno, or Kimmel playin' Thrash Unreal, and i loved them since
It could be be on the tv in your living room.
Oh the irony.
Wow, these guys play great live and Tom gets as much energy into this live performance as he puts on record. Great live band. I only got to see half their set at Warped Tour, and I regret it.
i dont care what anybody says. I love all of against me's stuff, new and old.
Gotta love the energy
yeah these guys are pretty cool too, i played foosball against them backstage at joe louis arena in detroit. They're all pretty down to earth! Keep rocking guys!
They're always fantastic live :)
hopefully seeing them this friday in toledo! i love them sooo much cant wait to see them live :)

i've seen these guys three times, he does that all the fucking time. he smiles ever second of the set.
That voice. So fuckin' rad.
i recorded this on the dvr when it first aired. i probably watched it 20 times...theyre amazing
Killer tune, killer performance. If the Energizer Bunny had a voice, this is what it would sound like...... I'm jacked.
Rickenbackers are THE coolest guitars ever.
Foda demais.
Against Me! is awesome.
My favorite song of all time!!!!!!-3
I really like this song!
oh wow that was so awesome
i love the rickenbacker hes playing in this! xx
this song rocks!!
i love the start
awesome.
Ive seen them live and its always as good if not better then the cd versions because of the sheer energy the have when they play
@2bmc Yupp! And they're even better in person!! I've seen them twice this past year :)
getting ready to go see them in kc
underrated to say the least

yeah that song is great, We Laugh at danger (and break all the rules).
He's opening up a taco joint! He scoped out the Moe's I work at to see what it's like.
ya toms fuckin halarious.
you can tell he's just havin a helluva good time
and thats what its all about.
he knows wtf he's doin =D
they are both amazing bands. why compare them when they are both great?
@olives937
no thats wrong because what they were doing first WAS original and different than anything else, what they changed to wasnt original at all and has been done a million times
AWesome performance. Little too fast though :(. Oh well it sounds great fast or slow :)
this song reminds me of take me out by franz ferdinand.
Ya im serious, gas light anthem is good, but these guys are way better, there is absolutely no comparison. gas light is good i will admit but there is no competition
yeah please tell us all!
Whats the meaning oh wise one!
Yeah, he does when he is on TV for some reason.. But, wouldn't you be? lol, Anyway, he still fucking rocks!
@SadGuitar7 I wanna go see em again, I moshed so fucking HARD xD
Laura Jane Grace. ♥️
ahh yes... correct! that is the person performing! i so relate to this performance!
is this the 1st time good music has been on Letterman ?
holy shit you fucking suck
@@obnxsdonky9394 yes they really do.
See Britney, this is what live rock n' roll sounds like.

Well, if they curse on live TV and it gets past the sensor, then it could be a pretty hefty fine from the FCC.
Tom gabel is a sexy beast when he dances... haha
@zero6gg He grew up and developed some maturity and realized that the "anarchy" scene he grew up in was delusional, simplistic, hypocritical, and so caustic as to never make any positive contribution outside the simpletons already subscribing to it.
wink.
lol thats not irony, its just Tom Gabel being adorable as fuck.
cool..
yeah he kinda does, only a small bit
What he/she said

v
What type of guitar is Tom playing there?
I think the "sold out" stuff is WAAAY better than their other stuff, anyway.
this song rules and does anybody think white crosses is not the real against me!
great performance, tom seemed a bit nervous
why they delete their french tour ?
It is not ironic because cursing isn't important and he realized that. He also, maybe, was just trying to have respect for the people and children watching at home.
major blowout
@JJSHIZZ why do people always have to compare??...for me GLA and AM are both great bands...if you don't like both of them just stick to one or smt and don't do stupid comparisonsO.o
nope. there is tons of good bands and artists who have been on letterman. tom waits is a reoccurring artists who goes on letterman as well as bruce springsteen
Is it just me, or does the singer look like Stephen Lynch in this clip?
dude the drummers beard KICK ASS
they are a punk band but i dont think they really have a genre. Their early stuff was punk, they do much acoustic stuff, they do rock... they have many genre it seems.
GREAT BAND !
@ohwowxlovely Tom in general. Lol.
to all the haters... i love the look on the mofoz face when he says serious decision at the begngingingin
eh, is new wave even a genre? and dude that is just a song/album name. doesnt mean its their genre.... so your saying as the eternal cowboy is a genre (im a smart ass)... but yeah good band

no i don't. please tell me.
How so?
BTW it's spelled hypocrites.
@olives937 It's not that theu sold out! It's that their new music is so fucking bland that I find it incredibly hard to listen to. I do like some more "mainstream" sounding bands, but I just hate the new against me because they can do so much more musically.
thats like a line of family guy
@againstwhatever everything. relax guy
Is it really that important that we cuss and swear?

All they get a fine and a slap on the wrist. oooh, hardcore.
@someonenoticeimdead HELL YEAH!
Tom gets ALL the bitches! :P
haha ay man if its lame whyd u look it up?
Fuckin' love this song, so kick-ass.
not as good as Thrash Unreal
Gasslight anthem couldnt hold a candle to these guys
hes a right smug git
i love this song but the words dont fit well in it at all.
They're fucking new wave. The first song on this album is CALLED 'New Wave'.
Warren Quit. No!
for 1, the cure sucks (no offense to any 1 who likes them, just an opinion which i am entitled to). when i said "is new wave even a genre?" that was sarcasm. i just dont think against me fits in new wave genre. I dont even really know if they fit in any genre, acoustic folk type music, Punk rock music, just many styles of rock.
and once again, They are a great band!
You can't watch a punk video on youtube without people talking about selling out. Quite annoying.
Not a fan. I enjoyed thrash unreal, but not this song. I can tell they really enjoy what they do because of the energy.
hey green day is awesome and the term sell out is stupid
maybe of boredom.
Shouldn't have played Stop. lol.
@CloudMeetsSky yeah, against me is a great band, although letterman sucks.
that's one burly lady!?
🤨
of course new wave is a genre. but against me! don't belong to that genre.
woow that's really sucks!!!
sounds like franz ferdinand huahahauauhua
i dont know just that manly figure and voice hahaha like thats cool for him/her idc i jut think its odd lol
I LOVE Against Me! but...
This song is just bad.
how does that guy think hes a girl? haha
that wink sucks and you guys know it
how could you think she was a man? haha. -_-
awesome
