This album reminds me of being 14 and crawling out of my parents window to catch a ride to Gainesville so i could drink king cobras and listen to this band. 12 years later i still get drunk on malt liqour and enjoy these albums.
i moved to Ocala from California not long after hearing this for the first time. Reminds me of skating strip malls in the rain. Thinking that Gainesville would be some anarchist nexus or something, idk. Hella young.
This gave me such nostalgia. I remember sneaking out to catch a show in Philadelphia. I saw Laura Jane Grace in Delaware a few years back and she remembered me. This band reminds me of the punk kid in me that will never really die.
I deeply ...DEEPLY regret selling these EPs....i think it easily went for over $100....but it was fucking priceless to me and is now so incredibly nostalgic. I spun this in good times, bad times, with friends who are long gone faded into obscurity...yet i miss deeply. Alex asch, if you read this...i miss you bro.
@@eggisfun4217 yeah he he fucked me hard lol…no but for real I lost everything but it was along time ago. I’m definitely okay. Stuff isn’t everything. Thank you for caring.
I think you (2 years ago when you sent this comment) in 7th grade, are probably smarter and more articulate than i was in 7th grade. You're in 9th or 10th by now? I was just hearing this when i was in 7th grade too, way back in the day. my beginnings to not only punk, but to the idea questioning everything. The old words in these songs are still true today. Question everything and don't let anything or anyone define you.
it's become my life philosophy. Walking is still honest...walking is an honest thing. It will always be honest. If you strip everything down and keep your feet on the ground, and you’re moving forward, absolutely nothing can touch you.
I had this playing all the time back in highshcool on my piece of shit 20$ bootleg ipod that said it had 4gb but It actually only had like 200mb, best moments in my teen life
@@tralalalala8504 it means taking easy even though some fool should get socked.. I call people on there shit constantly because most people pretty much suck... :)
I lost the confidence to write a song So i found three simple chords And I held them together with my weak voice On an out-of-tune guitar my father gave to me And may Elvis turn in his grave And Les Paul curse my dirty calloused fingers And may the likes of this song never make one fucking dollar Leave it for a demo tape to be played until it's broken Then remembered only for what it was [Chorus] That we gave 'em hell That we gave 'em hell That we gave 'em hell That we gave 'em hell That we gave 'em hell That we gave 'em hell [Verse 2] To my friends and enemies who could have been anything Titans and heroes who found survival in cause and effect Behind counters, behind windows, striving just to be people With bitter ideals of justice Do we only need to keep working because it pays rent? Sleeping under plastic stars glued to a ceiling Muscles burning alcohol and nicotine every morning [Chorus] That we gave 'em hell That we gave 'em hell That we gave 'em hell That we gave 'em hell That we gave 'em hell That we gave 'em hell [Verse 3] There's a height beyond skyscrapers There's a distance beyond the freeway More than pictures in a magazine More than tragedy in a rock and roll song It's more than the actions you know it's safe to make It's more than money could ever buy Are we living to work and die in american cities Working to live and die in american cities And dying for what we worked [Chorus] That we gave 'em hell That we gave 'em hell That we gave 'em hell
i come giving upvotes and comments to recent viewers to let them know, even us old punk fighters are still here. we havent changed, Laura has been proven correct. "an iron fisted champion, an iron willed fuck up."
it was named after the master copy being stolen and leaked before it was supposed to be and against me being punk not give a damn. i miss that against me.
not calling them sellouts but their sound has changed, and they are still great, but they're not as authentic as they were in their older albums..now they sound like they could tour with Green Day...they're just not punk anymore
Yes, they have evolved musically but how would you know their motivations? Most musicians grow and do NOT stay pigeonholed to a style they played in their early twenties. Furthermore, an album like "Transgender Dysphoria Blues", and the lyrical content therein, have serious political implications. Just 'sayin.

Man you can hear the pain in Laura's voice, I'm glad she's finally happy now.

@@S.E.K.1986 No problem
Some people just suck
They’re like $20 in NM condition.
CLASSIC. I am on the bus to 7th grade, with no friends, no cares, no money, but a pair of headphones and a pocket full of angst.

Either smarter or dumb as hell.
You got good taste kid, that'll take you further than you'd think. Great band, probably their best album, yeah you'll be alright brother. Much love.
Why are you guys trying to chat with a 7th grader? Pretty damn creepy.
Why stop now? Send pictures of your generals
Revisiting this EP for the first time since 2003! Chill bumps same as I had first time hearing this tape! Where have all the cupcake punks gone?!?!
old but still gold
I still have this CD...:)
still one of the best..... thank you Against Me!
Keats s gratitude on the interwebs...so fuckin refreshing. thank you for starting it. against me! your music has saved my life. thank you
Walking is Still Honest... That is all...
Right? That song is near perfect.
what do ya need? a 12 minute guitar solo?
so good
yeah, not my son. not my family. not in my neighborhood.
it's become my life philosophy. Walking is still honest...walking is an honest thing. It will always be honest. If you strip everything down and keep your feet on the ground, and you’re moving forward, absolutely nothing can touch you.
Burns my favorite track on this early lp
I had this playing all the time back in highshcool on my piece of shit 20$ bootleg ipod that said it had 4gb but It actually only had like 200mb, best moments in my teen life
"and we're not going to call everyone on their shit tonight" probably written before UA-cam comments existed lol
its in reference to punk shows.
Duh.. lol
@@tralalalala8504 it means taking easy even though some fool should get socked.. I call people on there shit constantly because most people pretty much suck... :)
Calling people on there shit should always be done face to face!! Right?
I lost the confidence to write a song
So i found three simple chords
And I held them together with my weak voice
On an out-of-tune guitar my father gave to me
And may Elvis turn in his grave
And Les Paul curse my dirty calloused fingers
And may the likes of this song never make one fucking dollar
Leave it for a demo tape to be played until it's broken
Then remembered only for what it was
[Chorus]
That we gave 'em hell
That we gave 'em hell
That we gave 'em hell
That we gave 'em hell
That we gave 'em hell
That we gave 'em hell
[Verse 2]
To my friends and enemies who could have been anything
Titans and heroes who found survival in cause and effect
Behind counters, behind windows, striving just to be people
With bitter ideals of justice
Do we only need to keep working because it pays rent?
Sleeping under plastic stars glued to a ceiling
Muscles burning alcohol and nicotine every morning
[Chorus]
That we gave 'em hell
That we gave 'em hell
That we gave 'em hell
That we gave 'em hell
That we gave 'em hell
That we gave 'em hell
[Verse 3]
There's a height beyond skyscrapers
There's a distance beyond the freeway
More than pictures in a magazine
More than tragedy in a rock and roll song
It's more than the actions you know it's safe to make
It's more than money could ever buy
Are we living to work and die in american cities
Working to live and die in american cities
And dying for what we worked
[Chorus]
That we gave 'em hell
That we gave 'em hell
That we gave 'em hell
🍻
I could listen to this on repeat forever.
Damn digs
Foosball League of Champions Hm, Brian?
I have so many times and it stays good
Then listen to reinventing axel rose. it's longer
Without a doubt a desert island album
Just fell in love with pioneers I never knew of.
Since high school straight bop!
THANK YOU! Florida represennnnnnnnt
No feeling like listening to this album while reading crimethinc
Thank you. keep your head up friends.
Heard this when I was 16… I’ll be 38 in a month and I love this shit as much or more🎉
I hear ya there.. great fkn song!!
ForGiven!!!!
Goosebumps.......
"Maybe somehow this scam will still save us all." Fucking genius. 🔥
i come giving upvotes and comments to recent viewers to let them know, even us old punk fighters are still here. we havent changed, Laura has been proven correct. "an iron fisted champion, an iron willed fuck up."
Please tell me this album isn't forgotten.
its not, its really really not
One of the best fucking EPs ever.
I cannot express how much I love this. Yáll dont wanna ... Fuck man.. love it.
Haha tonight the haters are gonna give it 35%
i love this ep. are there any places where i can buy it online? i heard the one on amazon is missing tracks?
The CD version contains six songs, although only four were on the vinyl edition
@@anvilinparachuteproduction2027 what songs are on the CD that aren't on the vinyl?
@@bobdobbs5844 burn..impact
@@anvilinparachuteproduction2027 my two favorite songs on the album how did I not know that. Thanks!
Fantastic. Still got mine from when we toured with them in 2004.
What band
I thought this would have some crime covers. You know, the 70's punk band from san francisco
Are you disappointed?
These guys don't do covers.
it was named after the master copy being stolen and leaked before it was supposed to be and against me being punk not give a damn. i miss that against me.
@@lordlammi1562 money changes everything?
@@Blindside23 you and me both bro.
What we worked for is my shit
Can anybody tell me why god won't speak to me?
she's busy
iron will fuck up!!
Compare this to their new stuff and tell me they haven't changed their sound and content to increase their chances of success...I'll wait.
people and bands grow. They're still great, they've simply matured. Go to one of their $20, all GA shows and tell me they've sold out.
not calling them sellouts but their sound has changed, and they are still great, but they're not as authentic as they were in their older albums..now they sound like they could tour with Green Day...they're just not punk anymore
I assume from teenage anarchist that they stepped away from a lot of the political/riot music
Bob the Fucking Journalist
I couldn't agree more. Quite sad actually.
Yes, they have evolved musically but how would you know their motivations? Most musicians grow and do NOT stay pigeonholed to a style they played in their early twenties. Furthermore, an album like "Transgender Dysphoria Blues", and the lyrical content therein, have serious political implications. Just 'sayin.
i meant scream
I prefer their new stuff, but the old songs are fantastic too
This song sounds beautiful till Tom starts to sing
