A week after the compilation Rock Against Bush Vol. 1 was released, a sequel to the politically minded compilation is taking shape.
The inclusion of Bad Religion's "Let Them Eat War," from June 8's The Empire Strikes First, is also confirmed for Rock Against Bush Vol. 2, which is expected to drop in August. Tracks from the Used, Yellowcard and Flogging Molly will also appear, according to Fat Wreck Chords.
The Foo Fighters will contribute their cover of "Gas Chamber," a song originally recorded by L.A. punks the Angry Samoans, which appeared as a B-side to the Foos' 1996 CD single "Big Me." The original tune appeared on the Angry Samoans' second album, 1982's Back From Samoa.

all I am saying is, shut the fuck up, to everyone who likes to bash on other bands, just cuz they don't deem said bands as "punk enough'. It's just sad.
Yeah, and that's what I agree with! Did you read the post in the forum? |

Grillo....please don't apply a stereotype to me, as I try to avoid giving them. You misunderstood the point of my message, which is: NO ONE can say what is, or is not punk. I am not trying to insinuate or dictate what is or is not 'punk'-all I am saying is, shut the fuck up, to everyone who likes to bash on other bands, just cuz they don't deem said bands as "punk enough'. It's just sad.

Mr Fresh, you should go into the forum here and check out the thread Being punk, and see that not everyone follows your stereotype of punks.
Direct link: http://www.thebrpage.net/forum /forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=93&PN=1 (put together the link) It gets kinda offtopic after about 5 pages, but then gets on topic again at the 7th page. |

i agree with MrFr3sh. people who think that they are the only ones "entitled" to loving bad religion and/or deciding what?s punk and what?s not don?t belong here and should piss off.
information: there?s always somebody even "more" entitled to loving your band, may it be simply because he?s older / smarter, or he?s listened to bad religion for two years before YOU discovered them. in the words of jawbreaker: "I'm coloring outside your guidelines./ I was passing out when you were passing our your rules./ One Two Three Four, Who's punk what's the score?" read the words to lagwagon?s "know it all" for further education. |

This is just what's wrong with things today,the state of things,and it's all thanks to you uber cool punks.You're nothing more than exclusionary elitists, trying to sound more punk than the next 'real punk fan'.All of you make me sick! I thought punk was about acceptance, open-mindedness, and the embracing of what's different?Granted, bands like Good Charlotte and New Found Glory aren't the greatest bands out there, but they've developed their niche,and they're running with it.Get with it kids,punk HAS changed,all will change.So my advice would be to quit desperately grasping onto your ideals of what punk"should be",and embrace anyone who flies their music under the punk banner.None of us here are the authorities on what is or isn't punk.Punk is about INCLUSION,not EXCLUSION-as you better than thou snobs forcibly subject all of us do.Get off your soap boxes;you're not better than the person who listens to those"sad" bands,just cuz you listen to Bad Religion.Give me a fucking break!

Don't you get it? The purpose of the Rock Against Bush is to flip GW out of his chair. To attain this goal, they have to reach as many 'voters' they can to vote against Bush. Popular bands like Yellowcard have a huge fanbase, so is there any better idea than picking these bands to play on the CD? If so, let me know.
It is a pity that Good Charlotte may be on volume 2 (see the BR Tribute webpage), 'cause like none of their fans is old enough to vote. But I think the Rock against Bush will have a greater impact with them on the CD. United we stand |
