So i found this band through the running man meme. But holy shit. His views on dealing with problems head on and not using alcohol and drugs as an escape is exactly how i viewed it for so long. really interesting to see someone else with the same mindset.
What I took from it was not "facing your problems head on". To me it sounded more like he wants to experience these things as they happen and not cover them up. Anger, sadness, guilt. That's why he said as humans that's what we do, we experience. There very much is a difference.
Straight edge dudes used to wait for people to get drunk then them and their lame ass friends would beat the shit of the guy for no reason. Fucking losers!! fuck straight edge
Why all the hate? These dudes go hard as fuck. Idfc if they are straight edge or not, doesnt affect my lifestyle. They bring the hardness and thats all that matters.
Hell yeah. It's worth mentioning that most straight edge folks listen to a lot of music made by non-edgers, so why can't the opposite be true? Band rules!
@@AOD1488 Mostly people who claim they aren't a legit "hardcore" band or that James Pligge somehow is not cool because he works out etc etc. Mostly in comments or discussions I've seen in videos. I don't get it personally, I love harms way but yeah shit like that.
Hell yeah. I think it's interesting when non-edgers hate on an edge band just for being edge. Edgers listen to plenty of music made by people who aren't even CLOSE to edge, so why can't it be the other way, you know? I love music made by folks from all walks of life!
its one of the most pummeling records for a good few years, posthuman is superb. I'm a pothead but I don't care if people are edge or not. if the music is good then that's all that matters.
@@AggressiveTendencies it seems the issue is more of a "the loudest voice gets heard" then a overwhelming majority of non-edgers hating on the band ot giving music a chance etc. The squeaky wheel gets the grease I honestly have never met anyone irl who wont\will listen to music based on straight edge or not. I see it alot online but it reminds me of how echo-chamber-y the internet can be
Nicolas Vincent makes me want to pound some full 24 packs, at a time, lofting the whole box, like a barbell. Kidding that beer is garbage. Ironic backdrop though. If these guys want to be SXE, I say whatever. Good find dude. Lololol
1. a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body. It is a drug by definition but technically so is air. Seriously though I'll smoke once every month or so when I feel like I need to unwind. Props to anyone who's straight edge, I can't do life sober.
Thanks for this interview! I did not know of this band until now. I will definitely purchase their material. I was wondering would it be possible to get an interview with Dagon of Inquisition?
Thank YOU for watching. And that's so cool; the whole goal with this channel for me is to turn people onto awesome music, so it's cool it's turned you on to them. I'll try and get Inquisition next time they roll through, just for you!
I'm glad the front man respects his bandmates even though they're not straight edge. Thats what I love its all about the music instead of being.politically correct
Not straight edge, but I agree that humans need to face painful experiences with as little distraction as possible in order to grow. Which is why I'll never use depression meds for my occasional depression. I grow through it always. There's ALWAYS something to learn from bad times.
Yeah man! I've worked with them too! (Team Skylar in Indy). I felt bad because my mix was not 100%, because I fucking love this band and have never mixed a band I liked so much haha. But, such good dudes.
I mean, its awesome that they’re able to combat substance abuse by denying it altogether, but I think life is too damned short to not let yourself enjoy it at least a little. However, if you can recognize that you don’t have the ability to moderate or control it, that’s true strength to be able to say “no”. Kudos to those who have that kind of self-awareness. Love these guys.
@@nightfighter7452 Drugs or substances can be a an absolute door opener to new views and the growth of the personal horizont someone would never be able without. Just saying and not judging at all.
Cody Vidal I would think so. I assume this question is being brought up because this dude is bigger than the average person? Unless there is proof he does roids, all I see is a guy that's dedicated his life to the iron game. He really doesn't look big enough to be using roids personally.
Kevin Jones dude no, he’s massive and it’s clinically proven that you can’t get that big naturally. He roids fsure, and it’s not straight edge. Who cares, that a juvenile scene title anways
@@Kevin-uz6sv plenty of dudes smaller than him use gear. You probably just arent aware of how incredibly common they are, most people arent though. It's not like taking them will make you look like Mr. Olympia. The ffmi study found it's highly unlikely to attain an ffmi above 25 while lean, but most fear users they studied had a fat free mass index of less than 25. Just look at Jon Jones. That said, I dont think he is large enough to say that he had to have used to be that big. He is massive, dont get me wrong, but he is also around 20% body fat, and you can carry a shot load of muscle that way, even naturally.
Yeah it is really is super common, and more so once you dive into anything where you are remotely in the entertainment industry. 188% he is on the juice
Respect for straight edge peeps, but it's also cool (and sometimes rare) for straight edge folk to be inclusive with non straight edge. Their attitude of inclusion towards their non straight edge band members is very respectable. It just can't work for everyone.
Dude has been working out for like 20 years. His total is less than 1600 lbs from everything I've read. He's got a great physique and good genetics. You want to see a combination of genes and steroids look at someone like Mateusz Kielezkowski. He's deadlifting 900 and setting world PR in the stone lift at 25 and getting on the podium at The Arnold. James Pligge is natty.
Boy you Fitness gurus dont know shit. This is not a natural physique......this guy can barely talk about straight edge cause hes guilty of the needle. I havnt seen him do it myself but I would bet on it. I'm a lifetime natural lifter for 25 years and know my shit. Genetics yes play a role.....and so do needles. And I dont care either way let him do it but.dont pretend guys.
Straight edge. Straight edge. Straight edge. Straight edge. I think you made your fucking point, pal. Holy shit. Love the tunes though. Now start being straight edged and shut it.
There are times when you get suckered in, by drugs and alcohol and sex with woman, mmmkay. But it’s when you do these things too much, that you become an addict, and must get back in touuuuuuch
@@ThunderhorsE1213 doing that would make it even worse. plus why would he do illegals when there are plenty of totally legal test programs. so technically he can take 'supplements' while still claiming to be straight edge
I'm sure he is a good guy but it's really hard to be a big guy, straight edge in a hardcore band and have a song about how you hate humanity and not seem like a total d-bag. Still wish him all the best.
Straight Edge, I thought that scene died in the 90’s. Aren’t you just a normal human being that doesn’t do drugs or alcohol, or does claiming to be “Straight Edge” make you seem edgy and hardcore?
I'm so freaking happy that John Cena found work outside of the WWE.
Havent seen him
This tickled me 🤣🤣
That’s not even remotely funny. James looks nothing like that douche bag.
I can't see him
@@barndencactus douchebag?? Explain yourself
As a substitute teacher, this guy gives me something to aspire to.
Running to Harm's Way music for weeks now almost daily - huge motivation
As someone who isn’t straight edge, I still really appreciate this take
So i found this band through the running man meme. But holy shit. His views on dealing with problems head on and not using alcohol and drugs as an escape is exactly how i viewed it for so long. really interesting to see someone else with the same mindset.
That's what straight edge is. Look it up. Is kinda like a lifestyle very popular within the hardcore community in the 80s and 90s.
You know it's possible to face your problems head on everyday AND have a drink or smoke right?????
@@mr.keiser4259 its called sobriety, stop trying so hard to make it an attribute.
Never heard of sobriety before?
What I took from it was not "facing your problems head on". To me it sounded more like he wants to experience these things as they happen and not cover them up. Anger, sadness, guilt. That's why he said as humans that's what we do, we experience. There very much is a difference.
That breeding grounds sample is still the hardest thing ever
Watch it in its original form and itll give you the creeps
why are people so threatened by straight edge, live your life how you want, they aren't telling you do anything lol
Mandel exactly.
@Me really?
Because they act like they're better for it and treat people with disrespect who don't follow their bullshit.
Fuck straight edge
samoht larpak that’s a pretty general statement homie, stop blanketing one group like that
Straight edge dudes used to wait for people to get drunk then them and their lame ass friends would beat the shit of the guy for no reason. Fucking losers!! fuck straight edge
I think he's straight edge
im still not convinced
This guy legit subs at my school
Teaching gym, I assume?
Don't lie bro is a total dom
Ken Diamonds hahaha clearly
Aggressive Tendencies does he actually sub? If he does tell him to go to my school and shape every kid up 😂
Bro. The rumors were fucking true. Thank you.
I am not straight edge, I am not always where I need to be mentally, but i get this and i back all of this.
Why all the hate? These dudes go hard as fuck. Idfc if they are straight edge or not, doesnt affect my lifestyle. They bring the hardness and thats all that matters.
Hell yeah. It's worth mentioning that most straight edge folks listen to a lot of music made by non-edgers, so why can't the opposite be true? Band rules!

I'm the farthest from straight edge and I loved the newest record Post Human. It's a goodie.

No
James (singer) Chris (drummer) Bo (the guitarist sitting next to James) are straight edge
they didn’t say “straightedge” enough for us to really know
Love the lecture with a Pabst Blue Ribbon sign in the background.
Every time he says Straight Edge, everyone does a shot of vodka. Best. Drinking. Game. Ever.

What?

That was a badass interview. Been seeing them since like, 2010, in KY and CHI. Always been a good show.
Thanks so much! Hell yeah, never been letdown by them.

Best dudes
They're really nice, aren't they?
I have a drink when I'm having fun and that fun seems even more fun. Couldn't imagine being drunk or high if I was miserable.
This guys my health teacher wtf hey mr pliggie
Such a lucky guy: all that muscles build beeing a streightedge... means also no doping, isn't it??!! He has great genetics! God blessed him!
Legit question, does straight edge disclude steroids?

Hahaha that's awesome.
Channing Tatum can dance AND do vocals!?
My take: BE THE BETTER YOU 👍
I like the way he ties his hoody strings, very edgy
*straight edgy
Freakin hard core. Lol. Jokes aside i absolutely love this band.
Why is pup playing in the background

It's ok to have a beer

Who's a good Henry Rollins fan? You are. Yes you are.
Straight edge. Straight edge. Straight edge. Straight edge. I think you made your fucking point, pal. Holy shit. Love the tunes though. Now start being straight edged and shut it.
I believe I asked him if he considers themselves a straight edge band still, despite having members who aren't, so the question was very edge-centric.
What about crappy Tatts? Straight Edge that. (kidding)
YO
Bane, Converge, and Cro mags' drummers all break their bands rules.
go Straight Vedge
So if you’re straight edge it’s still ok to shoot roids? Just curious
How many times can you say straight edge in an interview ??😂😂
