Rock Against Obama Compilation?

[TheBig100]

remember the Rock Against Bush comps? well, I just stumbled across this:

http://rockagainstobama.com/


looks like they're now taking submissions from bands who want to be on it.

[AussieBoy]

i dont know if this is true, but i whipped out my old Alien Ant Farm cd and gave it a spin the other day while on the beers and my friend reckons that they were Neo-Nazi's... or was he just winding me up??

[fadedmemories]

I LOL'ed

[stupid__kid]

lol only democrats can make good music.

[SickOfStars]

Featuring bands in cowboy hats.


And in all fairness, everyone waited a while before the political shitstorm started kicking. Sure, punk is going to be against government in one way or another constantly, but seriously, the guy hasn't even done anything yet. Give me a break.

[Anne.Frank]

That's just weird. Although, I can totally see Bush tryin to sing "Fuck you Obama, you stole my house, now I'm gonna rape your dirty fuckin spouse!" :P

[DaveZeroZero]

It will be a terrible compilation filled with white-supremacist Country artists from Alabama.

[oddwithoutend]

I thought punk was just pro-anarchy?? lol so aren't they automatically against everything?

[SickOfStars]

I thought punk was just pro-anarchy?? lol so aren't they automatically against everything?

some "punk" is, but mostly that sort of straightforward, simplified thinking is reserved for boys and girls who want to by the "A" logo shirts at hot topic.

I think punk has basically turned into a place where off-the-charts left, human and otherwise rights centered beliefs have found a home.

[oddwithoutend]

Musicians in general can probably be placed into that stereotype.

[andrewa5]

wow, must be a joke

[mattmatumbo]

what are the punks going to have to complain about now that we have a black dem in the white house?

[oddwithoutend]

what are the punks going to have to complain about now that we have a black dem in the white house?

they'll think of something i'm sure

[Anthony Lutz]

Can't they think of something original rather than stealing an idea that was done by democrats? And I'd like to see this list of bands on this, I'm sure that all of the scene kids who bought Rock Against Bush will dig this.

[Posthardcore]

Ted Nugent?

[caLLmEnOoNe]

agreed

[oddwithoutend]

all of the scene kids who bought Rock Against Bush will dig this.

good one.

[|adr3naLine|]

There's not gonna be any list of bands that anyone will know. It's obviously some southern republican who's sitting in his room pissed off at the world because god forbid we have a black president-elect. I guarantee there will not be one band on this compilation that anyone knows about, and there won't be one song on there that is even worth a listen.

edit: I just realized I basically repeated myself in that haha

[AP_Punk]

OMGZ Obama's a socialist!!

[Machu505]

Rock Against Communism?

I can't tell if these punks are anarchist or white-supremacist.

Both perhaps?

Maybe.

I'm a douchebag and I don't want it.

[shit stroll]

And no, we don't give a shit whether Obama is a natural born citizen. Nor the fact he got 53% of all votes.
Call him Magic Negro, That One or Change, whatever.

[Machu505]

Do these "punks" honestly wish John McCain had won?

[tonyC4L]

That "not my president" shirt is fucking ridiculous. I voted for McCain and I'm not too stoked that Obama is going to be our next president, but I'll respect him as my president and every other American citizen should as well. Anyone who wants to wear a shirt like that should get the fuck out of this country.

[caitlinlee]

Can't wait to hear JCook's track!

I voted McCain and totally agree with you.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

Exclusive track by Oasis titled "What?"

haha so what is the deal with guttermouth? i don't know much too much about them, but i hear people making fun of them all the time.

[Machu505]

haha so what is the deal with guttermouth? i don't know much too much about them, but i hear people making fun of them all the time.

From wiki:

In the summer of 2004 Guttermouth embarked on the Vans Warped Tour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warped_Tour), playing on the Volcom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcom) side stage. In keeping with their reputation for outrageous and offensive behavior, Adkins would often openly insult other acts from onstage, declaring that bands such as Yellowcard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowcard) and My Chemical Romance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Chemical_Romance) cared more about their fashionable clothing and popularity than about the quality of their music. The band members also mocked what they saw as an overall anti-conservative agenda on the tour by selling t-shirts and displaying banners that proclaimed support for President George W. Bush (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush) (many of the bands and media booths supported an anti-Republican (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_%28United_States%2 9) stance in the months leading up to the 2004 presidential election (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election ,_2004)). Several popular acts such as Anti-Flag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Flag) and NOFX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOFX) openly voiced their political views onstage, and Guttermouth were quick to denounce the "popularity" of liberal politics on the tour, claiming that many fans lacked any actual knowledge of politics but were latching onto political causes simply because their favorite bands supported them. After several weeks on the tour Guttermouth abruptly left, fueling rumors that other performers had petitioned to have them ejected.[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guttermouth#cite_note-white-3) Eventually, however, Adkins issued a statement apologizing to Warped Tour manager Kevin Lyman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Lyman) and admitting that the band had left the tour voluntarily, due in part to his distaste for the political atmosphere surrounding it.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guttermouth#cite_note-ankeny-2)

[shit stroll]

lolol.

[Dr. Acula]

Michael Graves is super stoked.

[AP_Punk]

Nick Rizzuto is also stoked.

[iateapples]

The funny part is that he is their president, and they are ruled by him.

So really, the joke's on whoever wears those shirts.

[TJ Wells]

wasn't the point of the rock against bush comps to raise awareness to all the shit bush was doing? how can you make one of these when obama's not even the president yet?

[Regards]

lol. The republican stereotype on this site is terrible.

[Dr. Acula]

People like that are the type who treat politics like sports and since their favorite team lost, they are going to be babies. This douchebag is prob pressing these shirts in moms basement right now. Iron in hand.

[shit stroll]

i bet you ben weasel would wear one of those shirts.

[Angylion Gefell]

despit being very liberal, i don't like obama. i would even submit something to this. but, isn't it a bit early to be making things like that?

[AP_Punk]

worst president ever.

[Sweep_the_Leg]

maybe if you're making a comp like this you should actually um, wait until obama does some things you disagree with?

[heyzombiehitler]

That just looks like blatant racism. And racism=not punk. I should record something for this. With subliminal messages.

Yeah I felt exactly the same way about this when people started wearing it. It makes me feel ashamed to call myself a Republican when there are some who are pulling the same disrespectful shit that the Democrats and others did years ago.

[x togepi x]

meh, i have no problem "disrespecting" a war criminal.

obama hasn't done anything bad yet, but he probably will.

Hahaha i love the optimisim.

[valencourt]

They should probably wait awhile... you know, to see what Obama does. To see if they actually have anything to rock against.

[-ben]

this makes me laugh

[TheBig100]

maybe they're rocking against his cabinet appointments.


come to think of it, i'd totally buy a Rock Against Hillary CD.

What is the problem with disrespecting Bush after all the shit he caused with his ridiculous policies and his questionable election?

[c_rob2700]

Hank Williams?

[tonyC4L]

What is the problem with disrespecting Bush after all the shit he caused with his ridiculous policies and his questionable election?
The problem is that regardless of how ridiculous you think his policies are, he is still the president of the country you live in and are a citizen of and should be respected as such. It's analogous to wearing a shirt that says "not my parents" if you think your chores are ridiculous and you don't get enough allowance. You can disagree, but wearing a shirt like that is crossing the line.

And what exactly do you mean by "questionable election"? What's so questionable? The American people spoke and he was elected. Simple as that.

[AP_Punk]

i wonder if rock against obama will be as successful as the crush kerry comp (http://www.interpunk.com/item.cfm?Item=58987&)

yeah killing thousands of our soldiers for a pointless war while pissing all over the constitution and continuing the same right wing policies that fucked up the economy is definitely analogous to whining about chores. Some people don't deserve respect. If my parents abused me, I don't think they would deserve respect just because of their position in my life. likewise, bush abused his office to do some really fucked up things, so he doesn't deserve respect.

anyone who would take a break being the most powerful person in the country when katrina hit and people were being flooded out of their homes and having to fend for themselves en masse on the streets is not worth respecting.

So my off-the-cuff analogy was bad. I apologize. Back to my original point though, there really is no reason for any American to wear a shirt like that. It's just not correct. You are a United States citizen and that man is your president... why wear a shirt that says he isn't?

that shirt isn't literally saying I have a different president than Bush. It's claiming that his ideology is not representative of my belief system, so an american who thinks he doesn't represent their views would be more than appropriate.

Im sure the guy who wrote the review is in one of the bands.

/5/2005 by Daniel from Indianapolis, INRating: http://www.interpunk.com/images/5stars.gifThis CD freakin rocks. Only 5 measley bucks and you get all this. The 2 Undead songs alone are worth that, so just tell yourself that your buying two Undead songs and getting like 9 others for free. I just don't understand why The Undead aren't way bigger than they are, I mean Bobby Steele is only the second greatest punk guitar player ever, behind Jonny Ramone of course. Oh yea and buy this CD because Bobby Steele is the fucking man, (and The Misfits never should have fired him) and The Undead fucking rock and so do all the other bands on this comp.

[Circa1628]

haha yeah looks like Bobby Steele wrote the review

I hear Johnny Ramone's ghost will be making an appearance

He is the second greatest guitar player ever.

I think he would definitly be at least top 5 for most people alongside the greats like Clapton and Hendrix

Ya. I agree. Punk was never about one specific political belief, but rather about freedom of expression of political (and all other) views.
