Everyone who leaves negative comments has no idea how much this band and Mad ball did for the industry and the ways they paved.

[@letyourmindbefree89]

industry, lol, they do it for shits and giggles to fuck shit up

[@nothousebroke]

I've been into hard core punk since the mid 80's. Dont think I ever bitched about someones vocals. Its punk. Who cares. its about feeling and what he has to say. You ever got in an argument and said wow I realy like your scream voice. Been a fan of AF since 80's its just great to have an old friend drop by. Even an old pissed friend!

[@jacobstrasbaugh5761]

Yes! I don't even like this band, but I respect them! The Internet made everyone into critics and it is polluting almost every video I watch these days! Rock on AF!

[@helgenx]

Anyone used to hang out on St. Marks in the 90's and 2000's? I basically grew up on that block. Miss the old days on that street. Andromeda Tattoo shop, Go Sushi, Coney Island High, the NA/AA building parties, the backyard BBQ's (if you knew someone who had a backyard there,) Alt Coffee, the barbershop near the shirt store, Kim's Video, Trash and Vaudeville (REST IN PIECE UNCLE JIMMY!) Sam's Deli with Afi the French jewelry salesman dude who used to play Reggae music loud and Gem Spa... So many spots on one street. That street; to me, was the nexus of the universe, and everyone was united. Thugs, Punks, Hookers, 1%'ers, Crackheads, Yuppies, Squatters, you name it. There's never going to be a dope place like that again I think, but I surely miss it every single fucking day of my life.

[@lancekaplan8022]

if you knew about all that, you know New York is done now

[@johnzumpano7852]

I know I'm tardy to the party here, but NYHC and these neighborhoods and places were my favorites back in the day. Still listen to NYHC but the East Village, St. Marks, Tomkins Sq, and all of those places are not the same anymore, unfortunately. I used to hang there in the 80's, most times never venturing above 14th st if I could help it. I remember shows at the original Ritz on 11th, I just missed getting caught up in the Tomkins Sq riot. If only time travel existed, to see it all again.

[@danielforst5326]

Any one who says they don't like the vocals obviously don't know AF and don't know oldschool HC. This band built it and you should show some damn respect. Rodgers voice is perfect for this band, any other vocalist and it wouldn't be AF. they stand apart and rise above because of it.

[@jamescavalera]

I myself, not from New York, miss the old New York. The birthplace of my Hard Core.

[@ontrialuk7963]

Great song but may be looking back with rose tinted glasses a bit .... but you know what we miss the old runned down London in the same way .. 😎

[@jarrypluter]

It's been 14 years since I've left NYC....I miss it so much mainly because of the scene.... I hope you guys could come to ecuador and set the stage on fire!!!! NYHC!!!!!!

[@Busybee65]

Having lived in London most of my life, it is the opposite to NY, when it was a shit hole, the old school gangsters run it and it was pretty safe, now it`s all modern in the city, but the suburbs are more dangerous then ever before, Knife crime is through the roof. Great song, do like this band.

[@adrianmakowicz1801]

100% agree with the police acting like five knuckle shuffle twats.

[@jasonledyard1]

It's really noticeable how London has changed from an outsider perspective only seeing it with many years between... Sadly, it's become just as corporate as the US, but as you said also more sketchy

What a great CD really! Seen these guys so many times, and every time they go on stage, it's spot on! Old songs, new songs, they keep doing their thing and that's what I love about them. They don't forget who they are, they make music the way they want to, they never lost their passion.

[@osip78]

[@mathewcaldwell4108]

I'm 53 year's old, the first NYHC band was the cro-mags, growing up in small town Oregon I was listening to van Halen, judas priest and ac dc ,then a skinny punkish look to him sat down at my table in first period math because I had a motorhead sticker on my peechee. By the end of the class I was hooked on thrash metal. He had a couple of garage tapes from San Francisco and it was a mix of metallica and exodus, the other one had some bad brains, agnostic front and black flag. A few years later I heard anthrax, SOD but then the cro-mags were on MTV and it was hey that's the sound from that hard punk tape from sophomore year math and I've been hooked, when I moved to socal it was the last couple years of the west coast punk scene and it was great Huntington beach was a blast. I've been listening to agnostic front and other NYHC bands a lot the last couple of years. Voice what are you talking about it's punk any one who gets up and fronts a band is good enough for starters and I think that all of the old timers had style because it was honest and real. I crank up for my family to get fired up at work. I'm the grounds keeper for our family restaurant 6 acres of woods patios and a wedding grotto. My nephew just looks at me and thinks I'm nuts.

[@ashesrvn8282]

Amen! As a NYC resident I agree n miss it too 😢

[@adrianchavez1851]

Roger is cool as hell and probably the most down to earth of any of these Celebrity Hardcore dudes, and I like NYHC as much as the next guy, but if you take a step back it ain’t that hard to see that ALL these bands put out one or two seminal albums in the early 80’s, then spent the next 30 years either doing nothing, or releasing album after album full of songs about how NYC/The Scene was so much more Real “Back in The Day”. Like the old guy at the bar who peaked in high school and won’t shut up about all the cool shit he USED to do. We get it, You Were There. Cooool.

[@thejadedmessiah]

I agree with everything you said. They have a point about how the city changed, but rather then mooing for the past they should focus on bringing the old “NYC” spirt back.

[@dv78ru]

Never been to old NYC but now I miss it too.

[@BASE5NYC]

Every time I walk by CB’s and see a fucking designer clothes store in its place I think of this song... and die inside.

[@jasonledyard1]

I did lights at CBGB's and worked CB's Gallery for ten years and when I went inside since they closed, the clothing store employees of Varvatos told with a straight face all sorts of fanciful BS lies about how the space was set up when it was a club. smh

[@samgearhart7351]

Just as a historian once said...."New York is never the same city after a decade. A man can go back to where he came from 40 years later and not recognize a single thing." This was said back in 1867. The PC New York of today will no longer be in another 20 years. Smart money would bet on it. But my favorite New York was the grungy New York, pimps, hookers, mob guys hanging out in front of social clubs, porn shops on Broadway, it just had so much more character than it does today. Sure the New York of today offends no one but it rarely inspires anymore either.

[@robmcallister2420]

bigcandy, I couldn't agree more. I grew up in north Jersey in the early 90's. Some neighborhoods were still like DMZ's and you wouldn't walk in the LES/ABC or JC and Hoboken alone. Years later, after gentrification, I was transferred to Scranton, PA. It reminded me of "Old New York" more than anywhere else. If you miss the old NYC, if you want to see seedy women hanging around seedy hotels, if you miss the graffiti, the rot, the blight, the junkies....move to a rust belt city like Scranton/W-B, Binghamton, Rochester, Erie, Detroit, Buffalo, Syracuse. Fuck, move to Elizabeth, NJ. These communities would beg for some gentrification.

just finished with reading My Riot and all who are wondering about how this record sounds should go and read Roger's own words about the mindset he had for this album and the making of process.
