Given the "anarcho-monarchist" bit in his tagline (a description Salvador Dali gave of himself) IMeMine probably thinks it is being surreal and obscure.
It isn't, it is merely showing how unoriginal it is.
That or it is stupid (or insane, you choose!
) enough to believe that people are paid to come on here to harass it.fishfingerer

Does this really all count? Isn't it more about whether the music's any good or not...? 
So what, the politics may be a little imperfect. Give me someone whose politics aren't. At least they make some kind of effort. FFS, we're not talking about Sinatra or that bloke from the metal band who has a website selling skinned wolves (frankly, I'm glad I can't remember the asshole's name) or Tommy Lee or any of those Fascist fuckwits.

no you don't get it if you have any form of politicising then the answers you seek to give must be perfect from inception to formation from concept to proof if they are not then you are nothing more than a godless heathen satan child who must be riddiculed for daring to dally with those forces as clearly you are nothign more than a corperate whore who will stop at nothing to peddle your assenign arse to the nearest popularity pimp who'll ride you to hollywood or some such blisteringly bollocks my taste is better than your taste lookie down noisie type argument epousing itself here....

Yes, to an extent I fully agree with you. But even so, SOAD are a band, not a political party (the same goes for RATM). I fervently disagree with the 'who-are-musicians-to-have-political-views' brigade but musicians - especially of the aforementioneds' ilk - spend too much time between the road and the studio and the other stuff to really get it together coherently politically in the public arena. Maybe it is their fault for suggesting otherwise...I just think they can't be expected to be infallible. But either way that's a hell of an improvement on 95% of twattocks in popular music who either make sweeping, empty gestures or shy away from political issues completely because it's 'not their manor', or whatever...GarfieldLeChat said:

Advertising car parts would seem to be a bit of credibility suicide in that case, IMO.
Surely this is just the sort of idiotic contradiction that the anti-cap movement could do without?

how do you know it's not a case of think global act local ... they could be a company that they have used in their local area who their giving a plug to..
i think it's better that bands hight light things which they feel are important than just make you go out and buy more things to faculitate a false lifestyle which is unobtainable to the majority... would you rather hear holiday in cambodia as a protest song or a jeans advert... etc

It could be I suppose, just that car-nuts in this corner of Scotland wet themselves at the thought of a set of Diablo wheels. I've no idea of the provenance of the company but having an agent here as well, suggests a fair-sized international operation? Mind you, there are plenty of expat Americans with money to burn as well so there is the possibility of a bit of "just like home" enterprise, there are a fair few of those in this area.
I agree!
