its so impressive to me how atom willard keeps up that level of energy for a 45 minute festival set, let alone an hour and a half for a regular headlining gig. the dude is such a beast.
+TheBassCraig its not about how "heavy" they play, its how much effort and passion they put into their performance, and for many people, Atom Willard is the "epiphany" of a passionate performance, he gives absolutely everything. As does everyone in Against Me! nothing to do with "heavy music"
Laura accidentally saying “smoking whiskey” before the beginning of Unconditional Love cracked me up. I love how she laughed at herself and later chuckled when she sang the proper lyrics in the first verse! I love this band!

One of my most enjoyable concert memories was seeing Against Me in a smaller club in Ottawa, Canada. They had already put out "Transgender Dysphoria Blues", and I was JUST lucky enough to get in as the show was about to sell out. Laura was incredible to watch live, and the entire band was fantastic. My friends and I got to chat with Inge after as well. Spectacular

I like the Title of #8 let’s you know he didn’t transition because the times told him to. He became she cuz she really feels that way.. but knows it’s a chemical imbalance. Embrace the truth.
They are truly amazing. I am late to their party, but Thank the Universe I arrived. Saw them recently with Bad Religion, another fantastic band, have loved them forever. Next time will see AM! with Green Day, my band!!! Going to Laura's book signing this week, so freaking excited to be meeting her.

You work hard for it. I'm a metal drummer, so this set would be fun for me. For a complete year it burned and burned for metal drums as I always pushed my limit each time...now, if feels almost natural.
10 years on and to this very day one of the best live performances on RUclips- period. Especially FML 666 and Dead Friend. Whole show is wicked! For a heartwarming sight gag, pay attention to the crowd with about 25 seconds left. Two boys heavily featured in crowd shots end up chicken style and absolutely rage in time to the songs peak!
Why does I was a teenage anarchist give me a sense of nostalgia. I’m 17. I discovered this band like 3 months ago. Also i love Lauras Voice. It’s a great band.
Atom and Ole mate Inge on the bass have brought so much energy to the family. Inge has so much enthusiasm, Atom is one hell of a drummer and the other two, we know how GREAT they are!
I’ll always remember the first time I heard against me live. I went to see alkaline trio at the house of blues. The house lights were all on and we just walked in, and this band was killing it. I asked a random guy who this was and he said against me. I became a fan ever since. I’ll admit I never liked their stuff, but god damn live it got to my soul. That voice, the bass, drummer rocking out, voice of the guitarist. I’ll be a fan till the end no matter what.
Just discover this band while testing the band that are going to play at the Rockfest in Montebello. It blow my brain out...those guys are just amazing. will be in the front row for there set next week. Laura Jane Grace u are the shit that i was looking for all these year ..genuine Punk rocker......
+Polly Ethylene G. Literally go fuck yourself. It's punk whether you like it or not. She literally says they're a punk band during the intro to Transgender Dysphoria Blues.
This ain't really my cup of tea either but labeling a sound to punk and saying what is and isn't punk is just bullshit and the opposite of the attitude.
I am pretty new to Against Me!, and I have to say, hot damn, but are they amazing. I've been jamming on Black Crosses for a week or so now, and this set makes me want to dive deep and hard into their catalog.
I sent this to my boyfriend because he asked me what music I was listening to... Then I realised that you can barely see Laura's face during the whole gig, her hair is always in the way... Well, maybe not the best way to introduce her but that gig is amazing
Amazing band. First time I watch a full show of them. JUST FUCKING PERFECT!! Pro musicians, awesome ideals and cool tunes. KEEP ON ROCKING PUNK ROCK BROS!!
I always heard this band's name tossed around often but never checked them out until recently. Glad that I did, catchy music but still has an edge on it.
Hardest working band out there. Atom Willard - balls to the wall. Their recorded stuff is great but its nothing like their live shows. Ya can't keep your eyes off Willard. He's like Tommy Lees twin. Fucking balls to the wall baby.
Exactly....like even of you'd never heard of them,how could you not feel that energy and not lose your mind....seen them 10+times,always incredible shows!
Hey, just wanted to say I was in the mosh pit on the right. The people I was around we're amazing fun and had a great attitude to everything. I feel like most of the crowd didn't really know Against Me! Because they played the main stage just before some really big band. But yeah, most the crowd was a bit dull, but not where I was :D
+James Marlon "Come on guys have fun by jumping around because there is no other way to have fun other than by looking like you're having loads of fun the same way a 5-year old does.." Fack awwwff, everyone enjoy themselves how they want. EDIT: I probably would be going mental for Against Me! but I don't care if other people don't, largely.
its so impressive to me how atom willard keeps up that level of energy for a 45 minute festival set, let alone an hour and a half for a regular headlining gig. the dude is such a beast.
Just no, go watch someone a bit more heavy, see how they do it.
+TheBassCraig lol i hope you aint insinuating lars ulrich
so impressive drummers only exist in the world of heavy music?
+TheBassCraig its not about how "heavy" they play, its how much effort and passion they put into their performance, and for many people, Atom Willard is the "epiphany" of a passionate performance, he gives absolutely everything. As does everyone in Against Me! nothing to do with "heavy music"
+Andrew McNicol
He murdered it on letterman, dave even went and shook his hand after the set
Laura accidentally saying “smoking whiskey” before the beginning of Unconditional Love cracked me up. I love how she laughed at herself and later chuckled when she sang the proper lyrics in the first verse! I love this band!
She has the sweetest smile
He She luv it
Definitely one of the best punk bands ever. I love how Laura kept her voice too.
One of the best punk bands?? Eh, I beg to differ. This is like indie rock with heavier guitars.
Good thing opinions exist, otherwise we wouldn't live in such a diverse world as we do.
+Carlito This is 100% Punk music. Best? eh, that's his opinion.
Her voice sounds a bit different, prob because of HRT but ya she is amazing!
i thought that was a man
how are they not one of the biggest bands in the world
brad erdman idk
I have been asking this question for more than 15 years.
James Bowman is such a badass. His backing vocals are amazing.
+Niko Pappas
No no I'm talking about James their lead guitarist...not Laura, I wouldn't get the pronouns wrong!
+Carmen Em Haha we have a newbie here. Doesn't know Laura's old name but gets on RUclips and fights the noble cause...congrats your a dumb shit!
+Brian Graham You're*
I definitely feel like James never gets enough credit, his harmonies are killer

This is the best version of the band. I hope this member line-up never changes.
21cTroubadour Agreed!
Well....
Andrew!!!!!
Incredible live performance. The band is on FIRE! Laura is a force of nature. Hope to see them live one day.
Against Me! is a band that every time I listen to them my head starts to move and my foot taps along and my mouth goes to the words.
Against Me is the most badass fucking band on earth
I just got into them, and god. They are amazing.
SHE HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HAIR IN THE WORLD
SHE CUT IT!!!😭😭💔💔

I hope everybody who calls her a "he" is doing it without knowing she's trans and not just to be rude

My favorite Punk band.Laura Jane Grace is bloody amazing.
God Lauras' voice is so fucking powerful and beautful
Laura is the most badass angel I have ever seen
they're such a good a band, I'm in love with laura jane grace
The bass player looks like he's having a great time. Must be an awesome experience.
am i the only one who thinks that the bassist has deedee ramones energy and similarity in it?
Yeah pretty sure Inge is really inspired by the ramones
When they got to that line "I want to piss on your fucking house" I got a tear in my eye because THEY ARE SO FUCKING GOOD!
God, I fucking LOVE Against Me! Laura Jane Grace is my fucking role model. I adore her to death!
Same, she is amazing
I love the kids, that are singing along and go nuts. They give me hope
that's what good old punk is about. Appealing to the youth to have something to relate to.

This band has the perfect chemistry for a punk band. It’s not just a drug filled rant like so many punk bands out there.
smoking whiskey drinking cigarettes
Shame on me for thinking this band was past their prime...got to see them at the riotfest aftershow in chicago, blew me away!!

Seeing them in a super small club in Sac in 2 weeks....can't wait.
why does noone talk about inge's bass playing? dude is killer.

I don't know how Inge and Atom don't keel over from exhaustion 5 songs into every set.
cause they workout and train for this :)
You work hard for it. I'm a metal drummer, so this set would be fun for me. For a complete year it burned and burned for metal drums as I always pushed my limit each time...now, if feels almost natural.
Pure punk rock agression

Also Inge is lucky there are no height restrictions. Laura 6" 2 and Inge 5"4. haha
Me, on 2021, watching this video, wishing we could have festivals again, drinking a cold beer and singing all together, shoulder to shoulder 🤩💀

Saw them open for the Foo Fighters several years ago. Been a fan ever since!!
Though I thought Warren brought a special energy...Atom kicks ass!
I wish they opened for the Foo Fighters when I saw them.
Anyone remember "Animal" from the muppets? He has been reincarnated as Atom Willard. Best drummer I've ever seen. Must drop 10 lbs a gig.
every time they play live they have the biggest smiles on their faces, its awesome

I wish I could see them live... they're my favourite band
i watch this at least once a week tbh
Seriously, this is a great performance. Their energy is ridiculous and the closing three songs kill it.
literally the best punk band around right now
hahahah this is pop music my friend, very far from punk
literally how the fuck is this not punk
+Polly Ethylene G. Literally go fuck yourself. It's punk whether you like it or not. She literally says they're a punk band during the intro to Transgender Dysphoria Blues.
Trans Girl Vlogs ^^ and to add to that, I'd say punk is attitude and ethic, not just sound. Laura Jane Grace is punk as fuck.
This ain't really my cup of tea either but labeling a sound to punk and saying what is and isn't punk is just bullshit and the opposite of the attitude.
I taveled to Canada to see this band and came back to Grand Rapids Michigan to find out i was opening for this band. I have a great life
One of the best live bands I've ever seen
Love the bit at 20:40 where Laura just sets out what Punk is about
the whole band is just so tight. God damn I love them
I couldn't take my eyes off that black sleeve. Shit must've hurt like hell
Laura is a bad ass
Gregory Chri I couldn't agree more
Gio I was thinking the same!
It's crazy for a band like this to sing about this stuff. And very brave, too. I can defenitly respect them for that. Good job! 👍
Watched this at-least 10 times. Good stuff!
this is a hell of a band! Hope to see them again this lifetime :)
there's like 3 ppl who are actually getting into it :/ they don't deserve such a shit crowd
No need to be a dick😂
Nothing against the old line-up but... Atom Willard and the bassist from The (International) Noise Conspiracy ??? Best rhythm section ever!!!
Such a shame that the camera men couldn't focus on the absolute voraciousness of Laura's performance. Absolutely immense !! I'm blown away!
Damn, they have so much energy! This is awesome
0:52 front row girl is having so much fun...
great camera work! nice shots of the drummer and everything! thank you xD
Watching this crowd be happy makes me so damned happy. Thank you, AM.
