this song is for all you smokers out there
yeah, I've listened to this song a hundred times and I've never realized it was about how fucking stupid smoking is untill I just read the lyrics now. Anyways, Bane are fucking awesome and this song is one of, if not the, best
fuck yeah, THE modern sXe hXc band at their best.
this is a great song. probably my favorite bane song. these guys are one of the reasons i love positive hardcore. it's pretty obvious this song is about the foolishness of smoking, but i think the way it was written is great, and the music in the song is great. i sing along my hardest everytime i see them play this song.
yeah, funny how Bane isn't even sXe anymore and people are still talking about how they're the greatest sxe h/c band ever.
bane is far from the greatest straight edge band ever. maybe bold or youth of today or minor threat. bane may not have sXe lyrics anymore but they are still good positive words. they also don't really condone drugs or drinking either. at least not in song. bane is a great band in hardcore because they don't have any moniker attached to them. they aren't a vegan band or a sXe band. they are just a hardcore band. i wouldn't say i've ever considered them sXe hardcore even in the beginning.
to "the skankin rat" ...they arent a straight edge band. aaron even said so himself. his band is not straight edge and he doesnt want his band to be associated with straight edge. he himself is straightedge, and does not want it to seem kids that arent straight edge arent welcome. he says straight edge has nothing to do with his band
i agree john. but anyway, these guys set it off live i love them. smoking is sick too.
this song is a great song. and bane isnt sXe, yeah john tibbetts is right. fucking youth of today or maybe teen idles or bold or earth crisis even. but not bane. but even is bane isnt sXe i still fucking love thier positive lyris. if you liek bane i suggest you check out good clean fun.....
blah blah blah, i've heard all your shit before. notice, i say MODERN. and for all you bitching about how they aren't sXe. it's the thought behind it, not the label that matters. but simply put, if you listen to the lyrics, they're sXe. it's like calling Crass punk, it's dead, but that's what it is, like it or not.
