This is one of the best punk songs of the newer generation of artists. I say newer (I realize its old) because I'm old as shit and anything after 1997 is "just noise" to us codgers.
@@sebastiansiemaszko1976i’m going to assume you sincerely don’t know so Tom Gabel who you see when this performance aired has now transitioned and goes by Laura Jane Grace. highly recommend the book “Tranny” if you’re interested in the story about it.
The lead singer is Laura Jane Grace. White Crosses was the album she made right before she came out as trans. Tons of previous Against Me! songs have veiled references to her internal struggle with gender dysphoria.
Eh. George is definitely better than Warren (plus a light year), but Atom is the absolute best drummer they’ve had. The White Crosses album though, I’d agree. It’s my favorite.
2:09 that third verse is Punk Rock Perfection ❤️
It makes so much more sense after her coming out ❤❤

Could feel and hear how personal this performance was for her. Amazing.
That would apply to every single line she has ever sung.
There's no girl in the band...

@@jakeamadori2049 he commented all over this video and is just a moronic transphobe
Him not her
I'm 62 and this reduces me to tears. Fucking brilliant.
That was an excellent performance.
All im gonna say is "FUCK, what a great perfomance"
So 240p, we meet again.
I was a 240p anarchist
@@yisus5613 😂💀
That guy's golden guitar is fucking awesome!!!
This is one song I would love to play live.
Watching this now, it's so clear to see Laura has truly evolved into the person she was meant to be.
They are so awesome 👏🏼
Good show. They need a drummer like, oh I don't know, maybe Atom Willard. Oh ya. They got him.Fabuloso.
Atom is the man but George is a beast too. He was so great on White Crosses and slays in Hot Water Music ❤️
This song makes me smile. 🙂
One of the few videos out there with George on drums
Perfection!
This is the best version of this Song
It's so strange seeing her pre-transition...
Katrina Nichols I've been an AM! fan for YEARS. Well before Tom became Laura, but I thought the same thing when I saw this.
Chris Franklin Definitely looks way better as Laura! I don't know how else to say that.
Joe D happier too :-D
I liked the music before the transition, for some reason the music changed since then
Disturbing is a better word for it.
I prefer my punk much more aggro, but I wholeheartedly support your right to be whoever you want to be!
Is this Laura pre transition?
Yup ::
No, it’s Adam Ant.
CM Punk!!!
I wonder what the first performance sounded like
I just read that part in her book and that's why I'm here.
yeah, this was a hell of a performance
weird to read about it in such a negative light on the book
This is what she was referring to in her book i assume
what about it?
Cole Alward laura says she played on this show and how it was a bit of a fiasco
Ah, I'm intrigued but not enough to buy a book haha
It's pretty good, if you ever change your mind. Its her autobiography :)
Reading the chapter regarding this show.
She's so cute
He XY
He
Trolls man. Ugh.
Who let the synth player in? Sounds odd.
+Ardent Imagery That's Franz Nicolay! Used to play full time for the Hold Steady and does great stuff playing keys for a number of different bands.
When Franz Nicholay wants to jam on your song, you fucking let him, lol.
someone please upscale this :D
Franz on Keyboard making the rock hand with one hand and playing with the left.
one of the best punk rock band ever????
Without a shadow of a doubt.
Hahahahahahaha loled so hard at that
who's drumming?
George Rebelo
George Rebelo from Hot Water Music and now also the bouncing souls
O Borjas wasn’t it Jay Weinberg at this time?
George. Rebelo.
I remember when America felt free
It’s weird seeing Laura before she came out
ikr? she's changed so much. I found the band after transgender dyphoria blues had come out and it still throws me off to see her earlier performances.
Who's her??? They are a bunch of dudes 🙄
The lead singer is Laura Jane Grace. White Crosses was the album she made right before she came out as trans. Tons of previous Against Me! songs have veiled references to her internal struggle with gender dysphoria.
Weird to see Laura with short hair lol
Well he was a she then and that's the norm
She looks a bit like Robert Webb in this clip
Best line up was def with the HWM drummer
Eh. George is definitely better than Warren (plus a light year), but Atom is the absolute best drummer they’ve had.
The White Crosses album though, I’d agree. It’s my favorite.
Anarchy on the Leno show lol what a joke
Glad they got rid of those keys. Driving me crazy
there is no fuckin keyboards in "punk rock"
uhoh he said gentlemen
Reggie Lonardo oh. uhh..?
+Greyston Burley She still identified as male at the time.
if you read her book you'll find that she didn't totally identify as male her whole life, she just wasn't out
Jackson Page she didn't. she just hadn't come out yet.
but also the idea that tom gave a flying fuck about getting "triggered" over that is comedic to me.
God, they sound bad.
SuperAwesomeWizard Ding dact, my opinion is fact.
no 🌸
You sound bad
These fucking guys sound horrible
