For some, they dont really have a choice, its poverty or war.

They still had a choice, whatever their reasons were, they had a choice. You can't change that.

If you lived in Pontiac, you'd think the same as them. Its really bad. And dont forget the purpose as mentioned above ^ Patriotism rules them.

On a lighter note, I just looked at your sig and had to say something about Belle and Sebastian-"stars of track and field". Its a great song.

Yes, but their choices are limited. The richer you are, the more you can do with your life.

I'm poor, my whole family is, we live below the national standard meaning we live in poverty. My sister hasn't got a draft letter. Neither has her boyfriend. Poor people would normally go into service because it pays good money for their family, besides complaining about a war is like spitting on a fire, it doesn't do shit.

And yes Ethan is right about Green Day they at least went out of their normal range more than SOAD did. Also don't you find it a little hypocritical that they preach that the US is using propaganda to get people to do things but they are doing the same? Even look at the BYOB video it shows maked men fully clothed in black marching to the same drum. And you could of picked a better song than that BYOB just sucks.

Anyways Static-X is still better because Wanye has good vocal control and they remind me of KMFDM and Ministry. SOAD reminds me of KoRn with a propaganda complex

Choices are limited? Its a yes or no choice, if they wanna choose to fight in a war they can and don't talk to me about living in "bad towns" like i'm some stuck up rich kid. I lived in seattle for a period of time and now I live in a really bad side of olympia, and am I joining the army because I choose to believe "my choices are limited?". Nope, i'm starting a band and getting a job and slowly saving my money up for college. People can do whatever they want with their lives if they put their mind to it. You aren't doomed to mediocrity just because your town sucks.

wtf are you guys talking about! B.Y.O.B didn't take balls i agree, but if any of you were really SOAD fans you'd mention their other songs like prison song, and Boom! now theres some really guttsy songs, also whoever said their new stuff blows suck my ass:P attack is a ****in monstrous song, same with sad statue, question and tentative buy the albums and listen to them closey before you bag it out douche

War? is a better politcal song IMO.

littleknowitall · 04-16-2006, 10:20 AM

i've been to see s.o.a.d live twice and they go up there with the title of 'one of the best live bands i've ever seen' along with metallica, maiden, alice cooper ect. they're a great band. static x have never appealed to me and have nothing on s.o.a.d.

Blain · 04-16-2006, 05:46 PM

nah dude war isnt much about politics... war is more about traitors the words "We will fight the heathens" heathen means traitors so yeah and yeah ive downloaded many soad live video clips and they sound really good like with other bands like blink 182 they do all they're stuff at the studio go up and sound ****! but soad sounds hella good

This is a somewhat pointless thread, but I pick Static-X.
