a bit of a musical rant

I think that it is absolutely ridiculous that everyone keeps ragging on great bands that make it big. Against Me! seems to be a prime example

For Against Me!, a good chunk of their fan base is made up of elitist pricks who do nothing more anymore than bitch about how "Against Me! used to be good...now they sold out and they suck!". Seriously? As if any of you elitists WOULDN'T sign to a major label if you had the chance? you'd be lying if you said no...as well as a total idiot. They'd be lying to say that, in a position where a label was willing to throw mass amounts of money at them, as well as fund their next tour, as well as produce their next album, that they would say "No, I'm too good for that." The other point being that one of the main reasons they moved to SIRE records was the promise that they work with the person who produced "Nevermind" by Nirvana. People don't seem to comprehend that Against Me! is an AMAZING band, and it'd be a shame for all of America NOT to know why they were. plus, I know I'd rather hear an Against Me! song on MTV over any of the other horrible, talentless crap they play now. So, to all of you elitist pricks...piss off already, and just be happy that Against Me! is getting to be known by everyone, and is enjoying the fruits of their labors. Normally, I'm against bands going to the "MTV side," but in Against Me's case, when going to MTV is a result of years of strenuous touring and labors, then cut them some fucking slack.

also, to all AFI elitists...GET OVER IT! they are a synth pop/electronic band now. it is just the way they've progressed. i know...black sails in the sunset is probably the best album, ever. but quit dwelling on the fact that they have moved on...theyre all in their thirties, and probably don't enjoy the same music they did 10 years ago. I know i don't listen to all of the same shit i listened to 10 years ago...and thank the god that doesn't exist for it.


the end.



p.s.- i've been on a total less than jake binge lately
