N0rthT really? Who were you? I only know like 5 kids that came out in it haha. I had a blast. It was a once in a lifetime experience for me I don't do things like that I'm not an actor at all.
Fredy Texis I do a lot of videos. I guess I'm pretty good at it. I don't think I am, but people tell me how good I am all the time so I guess I am. I mean, I don't like to make a big deal out of it.
People who think this is not punk clearly haven't listened to The Clash, and if you wonder who they are, they are one if not the BIGGEST PUNK BAND of all time
+Ahmad Haddad clash are wayy over the ramones, might not in popularity but in its strong political lyrics and themes . ramones is more of a happy party rock band compared to the clash.
+Ahmad Haddad not hating on the ramones dont get me wrong ,one of my favs but when people usually talk to me about punk the first thing that comes to my head is the clash ,the addicts or the exploited ( dead K , misfits etc etc.)
This is just perfect. And for all of those that think that this is not "Punk" anymore or whatever, just know that Punk is about doing whatever you feel like doing and not giving a fuck about the "hate" you get. By far one of the best music videos I've ever seen.
Why do people always say bands like Anti-Flag have "Sold Out" (Definition of sell out: a betrayal of one's principles for reasons of expedience)? Seems to me that Anti-Flag is still fighting the same fight it has always been. And this song is obviously heavily influenced by The Clash which is a band Anti-Flag has always praised since Anti-Flag formed.
It's because people are idiots. Anti-Flag has changed it's sound to get to a broader audience.. meaning their message gets to be heard by more than just a small percentage of the population. Punks only care about their own, it seems.
"the fake/dum punks", i don´t know how to say it on English sorry, are the ones who would say that, please don´t say "punks only care about their own" because that is bullshit. otherwise i agree with you on the part you said anti-flag has changed his sound to be heard by more people, but i have to say i liked more and miss the old sound of anti-flag. G.N.W.P
Mr.Nugget Depends on the punks, I should've specified. The crustier they are, the more they tend to care about their own. The punk crowd outside of the street punks is rather quite loving and caring towards most people
So if I say I loved Anti-Flag while they had their original sound, and not with this pop-punk attempts, I am small minded? I listen to punk for 30 years, love new and old stuff, but punk you don't find on YT recommendations, rather in the basements. Cheers from Berlin.
Saw these guys last night and it was fucking amazing. This was the second-to-last song of their encore, and the entire club rocked out. They broke down the drum set, moved it into the crowd and reassembled it, and then shot confetti everywhere. El Corazon, Seattle, 1/24/18.
***** Uhm, no. It's all but no punk ^^ Just listen to all the albums before (except "The General Strike" and "The People or the Gun" for the most part) and you know what punk is. THIS IS NOT!
Jutschl well its a combo of punk en alt rock but that doesn't matter its about the meaning of the song. it's a punk message no Mather what people think and say be yourself.
Jutschl lol, The General Strike and The People or the Gun are far less "poppy" than For Blood and Empire and especially less than Bright Lights of America. That's besides the fact that Punk was strongly defined by bands like the Ramones, the Clash and the Sex Pistols; Punk IS poppy. That's part of what makes it PUNK. That's what makes it stripped down, raw.
I lost my baby to a foreign war She was cut down in the gunfire of the western world She was livin' in sin, I was livin' in a lie She was caught up in the glimmer of a rich mans eye I couldn't see her from the other side They said son "there is no glory in your pride." I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait, I'll wait Well, I lost my baby to a foreign war She was cut down in the gunfire of the western world She was searching for salvation in the things you buy I was finding all the reason to give up on life If you love something and give it away It can't come back unless you're free. I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait. Somewhere in the in between Where the east and the west meet In the 30 year war where I came clean That's where you will find me. So I'll wait, I'll wait. I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait, (So I'll wait) I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait (So I'll wait) I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait, So I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait. I lost my baby to a foreign war.
I never thought about it for the first few times through this video, but I now can't help but wonder if the churchgoer who is prominently shown in shots starting around 1:40 is intended to so closely resemble Beelzebub's pet tortoise Mitch?
So glad I got to hear this song live in Brighton this year before the breakup. The energy was real. I'll continue to party instead of supporting those fucking wars.
Just want to clear it up, here's why people say that this is the album where Anti-Flag "sold out" (even though I personally don't think they did), 1. They used an abundance of cleaner production on this album, at least by punk standards, guitars with a lack of distortion, drums pushed pretty far back in the mixing, and not as much emphasis on the bass as usual, are pretty obvious examples of such a drastic turn in the way they wrote songs for the album. 2. This may be subjective, but Chris #2's vocals on the album are pretty consistently rough and he always sounds like he had 20 takes before the final version. I mean harsh vocals on a punk album, they should go hand in hand, but not only do they sound more rough and off key then usual, but it completely clashes with the cleaner production they're going for on this release. 3. The most glaring problem in my opinion, there isn't as much of a passion behind this album like past ones. The lyrics are pretty vague on the most part, not entirely, like with songs about drone attacks in the Middle East, that's pretty specific. But this album also came out during the Obama administration. Compared to the hells-cape that the Bush and Clinton years brought for inspiration for their last albums, making an album in this era of politics just seems really unfit for a band like Ant-Flag, and their pretty clear politics and ideals, to take on. All of these details combined together culminated to an album that, while has some pretty killer instrumentation and energy behind it, seems really unfit. I personally like this album, I like a lot of Anti-Flag albums, they're a pretty consistent band and they know what they're good at. Hell, I have this album specifically on special edition white vinyl, I I LIKE THIS ALBUM. This is just some of the arguments I've seen sprouting up as a result.
He also likes toothpaste, bowling, honey, money, cartwheels, hamsters, pliers, facepaint, and fire Also, hi. Bet you didn't expect a reply to a comment from five years ago
Punk can not be simply classified as a "sound". Punk is a way of life. It's almost a religion. To say a song is not punk because it's "poppy" is bullshit.

I mean, fuck religion and anything used as an excuse to hate. Now id you'll excuse me, I am contractually obligated to say this; I'm here, I'm queer, now somebody get me a fucking beer.
I saw these guys way back during Die for your Government. That was some raw punk rock and they looked like the rest of the street punks. Now they look like Marianna's Trench and sound like Dropkick Murphys. This bums me out.
They used to be one of my favourite bands when I was a kid, now I just don't care anymore and I always wonder why, I try to listen their new stuff and it just sounds so boring and repetitive, I still appreciate their older stuff thought. I can't really tell what happened.
Este nuevo vídeo de Anti-Flag es tan antisemita y liberal que es el vídeo mas punk que he visto en años. Y eso que tiene toques muy pop, la canción muy ramonera y la letras genial, como siempre ¡ya regresen a México locos!
I just visited the Brandenburg Gate, and there wasn't a single member of Anti-Flag there. They must have gotten tired of waiting.
😂
anything with Tim Armstrong makes it a great song.
The truth.
That is true🙂🙂
It was great without him but even better with him
What does he do in this song? The main riff kinda sounds like his style I guess.
Truth
The ending was so cute! :D
As the band gets older obviously tastes and the music changes, I love that they have such a diverse range of music 😀
I'm so stoked to have been a part of this video. It was so much fun. Fucking sick!
***** yeah it was sooo sick! I hope I did I just had tons of fun doing it and met some awesome people it was truly amazing :D
Fredy Texis I was in it too. It was whatever. I guess it was pretty cool.
N0rthT really? Who were you? I only know like 5 kids that came out in it haha. I had a blast. It was a once in a lifetime experience for me I don't do things like that I'm not an actor at all.
Fredy Texis
I do a lot of videos. I guess I'm pretty good at it. I don't think I am, but people tell me how good I am all the time so I guess I am. I mean, I don't like to make a big deal out of it.
N0rthT hahahha. Way to ruin someone's day
They can't defeat love!! Don't be afraid of expressing this feeling!
One of the best bands to see live.
Honestly, love this bloody song.
This song live is just amazing!!
This reminds me of Death or Glory by the Clash, for some reason. I fucking love it!
Hi Brandon Sutter! Let's go Pens. Ps - you are on the trade block.
I love how you knew who my picture was haha, I know. I'm kinda sad lol, I think he is underrated, better 3rd liner than Staal imo.
yes!
+Crlongboarder I shamefully admit I though it *had* to be a Clash cover.
People who think this is not punk clearly haven't listened to The Clash, and if you wonder who they are, they are one if not the BIGGEST PUNK BAND of all time
I'd have to give that to the Ramones or the Sex Pistols tbh
+Ahmad Haddad clash are wayy over the ramones, might not in popularity but in its strong political lyrics and themes . ramones is more of a happy party rock band compared to the clash.
Acdeportivo2 yeah this is true but The Ramones were the original punk rock band as well
+Ahmad Haddad not hating on the ramones dont get me wrong ,one of my favs but when people usually talk to me about punk the first thing that comes to my head is the clash ,the addicts or the exploited ( dead K , misfits etc etc.)
+Acdeportivo2 yeah I understand that man, I'm actually a punk myself so I love all punk rock bands I don't hate on any tbh
This is just perfect. And for all of those that think that this is not "Punk" anymore or whatever, just know that Punk is about doing whatever you feel like doing and not giving a fuck about the "hate" you get. By far one of the best music videos I've ever seen.
There sound has changed, but you can still tell it's the same vocals drums guitar and it's the same message every fucking album. Thanks Anti-Flag
Anti Flag never disappoints. Getting better with each album!
I discovered Anti-flag during this pandemic. Really like them now! :D
Listen to A New Kind of Army and Underground Network to get caught up from the past 20+ years. Those albums are amazing.
One of the best punk bands out there. 20/20 Vision is a solid album, and thats NEW
This song is awesome. It doesn`t always have to be so punk or hardcore to be good.
Great song and great video, having Tim Armstrong was a nice touch. Love anti flag
The Joy Of Punk is Not giving a shit if someone says you're not punk..
this is pure punk rock
Why do people always say bands like Anti-Flag have "Sold Out" (Definition of sell out: a betrayal of one's principles for reasons of expedience)? Seems to me that Anti-Flag is still fighting the same fight it has always been. And this song is obviously heavily influenced by The Clash which is a band Anti-Flag has always praised since Anti-Flag formed.

Mr.Nugget Depends on the punks, I should've specified. The crustier they are, the more they tend to care about their own.
The punk crowd outside of the street punks is rather quite loving and caring towards most people
Yes we are, until you fuck with someone we care about
love reading what people have to say about anti-flag !!!!!! just show's how small minded some people are..
That's very accurate
So if I say I loved Anti-Flag while they had their original sound, and not with this pop-punk attempts, I am small minded? I listen to punk for 30 years, love new and old stuff, but punk you don't find on YT recommendations, rather in the basements. Cheers from Berlin.
When someone don't share your point of view you call him "small minded". Are you a nazi?
Love the Goldman quote at the beginning
This song is an affront to the Brandenburg Gate and everything it stands for. Our ignorance knows no bounds.
Great band, Great tune and Great to see Tim Armstrong in there to!!!
Nice job guys! The video is pretty fucking good. Short, simple, good tune, good cinematography.
Good message they sent in that video also
Emma Goldman, just perfect
That kiss at the end was definitely not needed but much appreciated haha.
I WILL WAIT AT THE BRANDENBURG GATE!!
ian h AT THE BRANDENBURG GATE, I WAIT!
Saw these guys last night and it was fucking amazing. This was the second-to-last song of their encore, and the entire club rocked out. They broke down the drum set, moved it into the crowd and reassembled it, and then shot confetti everywhere. El Corazon, Seattle, 1/24/18.
Man I don't care what punk is or if this is it, but this is the only song I've listened to for the past 3 days!
IM SO PROUD MY COUSIN WAS IN THAT VIDEO!!! FRONT ROW IN THE CLASSROOM ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT.
If this is poppy then i like pop. And I wish pop sounded like that.
***** Uhm, no. It's all but no punk ^^
Just listen to all the albums before (except "The General Strike" and "The People or the Gun" for the most part) and you know what punk is. THIS IS NOT!

I lost my baby to a foreign war
She was cut down in the gunfire of the western world
She was livin' in sin, I was livin' in a lie
She was caught up in the glimmer of a rich mans eye
I couldn't see her from the other side
They said son "there is no glory in your pride."
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait, I'll wait
Well, I lost my baby to a foreign war
She was cut down in the gunfire of the western world
She was searching for salvation in the things you buy
I was finding all the reason to give up on life
If you love something and give it away
It can't come back unless you're free.
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait,
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.
Somewhere in the in between
Where the east and the west meet
In the 30 year war where I came clean
That's where you will find me.
So I'll wait, I'll wait.
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait,
(So I'll wait)
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
(So I'll wait)
I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
At the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait,
So I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait.
I lost my baby to a foreign war.
This is one of the best music videos ever guys. Love it.

Incredible like ever Anti-Flag the more great band of punk rock i love you guys please come to Mexico i hope watch you of return here :D
I love this so much!!!
I fucking love this song. I'm stoked to see Tim Armstrong from Rancid in the video.
I never thought about it for the first few times through this video, but I now can't help but wonder if the churchgoer who is prominently shown in shots starting around 1:40 is intended to so closely resemble Beelzebub's pet tortoise Mitch?
So glad I got to hear this song live in Brighton this year before the breakup. The energy was real. I'll continue to party instead of supporting those fucking wars.
I wish they did a collabo back in 97.
thebarrochannel What makes this pop is that it says ft. Ti m armstrong, but tim armstrong doesnt do shit

I love this song. ı love this band. that's it. now ı'm gonna listen again :D

Uploaded on my birthday! Badass!
Saw them two days ago, they rocked the fuck out at bayfest in Italy. Fucking amazing band.
Love It!
I love punk rock features.
Sounds like Brian Fallon/Gaslight Anthem. I like Anti-Flag a lot
love this
The Clash are here again
I didn't realize Draco Malfoy liked confetti
I thought it was the kid from Casper
Aaaaaaand roast.
I laughed too hard at that-
He also likes toothpaste, bowling, honey, money, cartwheels, hamsters, pliers, facepaint, and fire
Also, hi. Bet you didn't expect a reply to a comment from five years ago
This actually has a touch of Bruce Springsteen in it. That it is what it sounds to me anyway.
That's it, New Jersey sound! This reminds me more of Gaslight Anthem than The Clash, Anti-Flag or Rancid.
Love you Anti-flag!
i love this
Best song from them in years how did i miss this:) But than my favorite cds There system doesn't work for you.
ANTI and Tim cool!!

In the 30 year war where I came clean
That's where you will find me.
So I wait.
I wait.
I will wait at the Brandenburg gate
At the Brandenburg gate I'll wait
Waste of time. The lyrics are already in the description
Wow how did they get Mitch Mconnell to make an appearance? 1:40
Love it
2:22 For some reason there are two timers in the bag and that bothers me.
I feel like Tim diserved a solo verse in that song
I like the anti homophobic message in the end
Dude they're anti fucking everything phobic
+larry itliong Of course I know, but I like it
i just like dudes kissing, and anything antithetical towards organized religion.
I mean, fuck religion and anything used as an excuse to hate. Now id you'll excuse me, I am contractually obligated to say this; I'm here, I'm queer, now somebody get me a fucking beer.
@@tazmon122 Same, my friend. Anything that involves dudes kissing I'll -ship- I get behind.
Justin L I agree so much
Sounds like Beach Slang and Dropkick Murphys had a Top 40 baby.......named it bubblegum.....I like it!
Bah, bateu um The Clash aqui no peito.
Love it. (Kinda different from Dave Brubeck’s Brandenburg Gate 😂 🤣 )
Awesome tim! #livinglegend
I heard this song on the radio today and thought it was Anti-Flag covering a Clash song
Awesome video
If this is pop then I fucking love pop.
I saw these guys way back during Die for your Government. That was some raw punk rock and they looked like the rest of the street punks. Now they look like Marianna's Trench and sound like Dropkick Murphys. This bums me out.
They used to be one of my favourite bands when I was a kid, now I just don't care anymore and I always wonder why, I try to listen their new stuff and it just sounds so boring and repetitive, I still appreciate their older stuff thought. I can't really tell what happened.
Este nuevo vídeo de Anti-Flag es tan antisemita y liberal que es el vídeo mas punk que he visto en años. Y eso que tiene toques muy pop, la canción muy ramonera y la letras genial, como siempre ¡ya regresen a México locos!
How is this band not BIGGER?
I'll wait at the Brandenburg Gate at the Brandenburg Gate I'll wait
great video
wow
Is nobody else reminded of Pinkie Pie's confetti cannons? She would TRIP over a party bomb!
