Yea i know sounds a little wierd, but i was at their show last night, and it was really cool. Of course the energy was not as close to RATM shows, but of lot of their songs are anti-political and they did speak out to the crowd in between songs about how the government risks innocent lives just for money and etc...
And i was talking to some people that were there, and some said they remind them somewhat of a punk style RATM.
So im just throwing this out there, what do you guys think??

Personally.. I think they're awful.. I don't think they have even half the brain of RATM..

I agree. People say the same about System of a Down and I say...

A lot of bands do that though -- express views against their government and anger the current war. I don't think it transforms them into the new RATM automatically. I'm not a fan of Rise Against and I don't think it's unusual that they share their views while on stage, because a lot of bands do that, I guess is what I'm saying.
