Tom Gabel - Walking Is Still Honest

[@rustbeltprogressive3968]

15 years on this is still the greatest punk song to me. Love many of her others but this is timeless Simon and Garfunkle level 1000 years from now personefaction of punk.

[@EtoileCTE]

I often find myself thinking of Laura's smile, she just makes me belive something good can still come from this word. So brave, so beautiful, so inspiring.

[@kyleshaughnessy5185]

Rita Casarini seriously

[@alexcunningham8505]

Preach

[@RallickNom]

I listen to this pretty much every morning, gets me ready to take on the day

[@christiancano506]

Every few years I come back to this song just to make sure I'm grounded, thank you Laura

[@MrZikList]

such a nice crowd. And one of the best musician that ever lived.

[@caseylewis8768]

Laura was put on this earth to sing a song for the lower classes. Instantaneous gift for rebellion...

[@ricardodias5936]

I can´t stop listen to this!!!! I can´t wait to see them live 7 of May :D Just 4 more days!!!!!!!!

[@filmingjd]

Laura Jane Grace is one of the best things to ever happen to punk.

[@markjoness]

this was tom

[@annalxuisa]

but now it’s laura

[@jessicafox1114]

@N K douche

[@alyzz9863]

@N K ...but it is. If I change my name, my college has to retroactively change my diploma to my newname. Same with non-official stuff if you don't want to be an asshole.

[@alyzz9863]

​@N K whoa, so much slurs to protect yourself from people, who just want to live a normal life.

[@edwardlubin322]

The best recorded documentation/reproduction of this song to this date in my opinion. (Fkn Awsme)

[@axlesyple6485]

Long live! Laura! Jane! Grace!

[@ElemonatorHendrix]

This would give you such a buzz. Amazing songwriter.

[@tymirra8769]

God damn, seeing Tom live was the best show of my life. Cant wait to see her as Laura one day!

[@PlasmaCanvas]

*Laura

[@vaiterius]

I've only seen Laura perform

[@aitanapv2777]

best crowd ever.

[@joemccorriston]

Fucking awesome. This goes straight to my heart.

[@frankiebovino8690]

Thank you for this video

[@rustbeltprogressive3968]

This is punk, purity!

[@aaronsalmon1376]

God I LOVE YOU!

[@americanpatriot8645]

I can appreciate real art. These guys are amazing musicians. Such powerful emotion in their music. Although I believe where they seem to not. Perhaps some trust would comfort them.

[@mrmynx]

As Tom or Laura...who cares..the music is what matters....and the lyrics..fuckin amazing!!

[@brettwright0329]

So amazing

[@chrislwisl4436]

One of the reaAaalyl good one's in this fucking place called society !!!!!

[@williestone8020]

The realist shit you ever wrote ❤

[@NicholasBenjaminAmato]

Holy shit, this is good.

[@Tigerpuffer]

Time to change the name, @TheRevivalTour. It's been years! Do right by Laura Jane Grace

[@Alexanderlee904]

I could watch this 500 times. an iron fisted champion, an iron willed fuck up.

[@MorgyDevlin]

chills....

[@karostaro4779]

that second verse doe!! probably the best version I've heard

[@Lex_Interior]

I always think of Mohammed Ali whenever he says "Iron Fisted Champion"

[@thepackardconspiracy3536]

Love this shit

[@mickmarsbar81]

I miss Tom.

[@Mrdwallful]

I thought I knew the chords for this song but after watching her play it I think I am very wrong

[@jackv7094]

Right? I've been playing it wrong for years. Any idea what the correct chord progression is?

[@podunkest]

You guys probably have the names of the chords you're playing right, just look up how he phrases them (the shapes) or try figuring out different ways to play those chords elsewhere on the neck - He often avoided just using plain bar chords or basic chords around the top of the neck and would find interesting ways to play them, a really good example is how he plays the F# at the beginning of Those Anarcho Punks - or maybe F - I don't remember it's been too long since I've played and sang any of their stuff... which makes me sad now that I think about it.

[@coreykuefler-terweeme7268]

They need to change and correct her name.

[@KaiWritesCode]

Laura

[@lisacole7037]

best

[@benchamberlain4228]

I think I blew my phone speaker 🥺

[@vazquezvill]

Dear mother, this is just survival, Cannot promise your children everything, But you would lie so they can sleep tonight Defeat tasted nothing like you said Still 22 days left till the end of the world, My legacy was making you a man , For a justice I could not change, This is one voice not to forget, Fight every fight like you can win, An iron fisted champion, an iron willed, fuck up. Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me? Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas? Why death is, easier than living? You can be almost anything When you're on your fucking knees, not today... Not my son, Not my family, Not while walking is still honest, And you haven't given up on me Dear shithead, this isn't happening, The sky is really falling, the paint's all made of lead, There's asbestos in the walls, hell's come over to rip off the doors To the privileged mansion. Do you want to love and feel it? You can look but you can't taste it You can reach but you'll never have it We are untouchable, untouchable is something to be. Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me? Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas? Why death is easier than living? You can be almost anything When you're on your fucking knees, not today... Not my son, not my family, Not while walking is still honest, And you haven't given up on me, And you haven't given up on me, And you haven't forgotten me...

[@americanpatriot8645]

This is real music. Not Rage Against the Machine sell out garbage. Actual real life artistic expression.

*That name no longer has any meaning to me*

[@FirstColumnist]

I call him my tom McDonald bc that dumb plant rapper but i made eye contact with them when i was 19. And they have not only broken through the fm waves but in broken mp3 players in piles on my frienes floor. Once in a cd someone left at someones house who i apparently saved too. None of these ppl knew who against me was. But they came. In my real life and laura moved to stl when i was getting fucked with but i guess thats the sad part is i cant be in stl i have to be help political prisoner by ny state robot mom and fetus society community for the greater good right... idk why does everyone hate you if you don't switch when they come for u

[@saravelasquez3650]

I deeply miss Tom. Its not the same now with Laura.

[@ygsdhkxjfljoeplsdyt3921]

They've changed their style, but I don't think it depends on her being transgender

[@andrewm2786]

@@ygsdhkxjfljoeplsdyt3921 their first album after was literally called gender dysphoria blues

[@TheFreakOfNature26]

kinda crazy how you being a fan is dependent on the lead singer's identity. seems like a fake fan, no?

[@coreykuefler-terweeme7268]

@@TheFreakOfNature26 I completely agree

[@dreamernotsleeper]

I feel the same, Tom was so unapologetically discontent and in your face with his music and energy. Laura holds herself differently and seems more guarded. I love her still and am happy she had the courage to be true to herself and transition but I always feel like when she was Tom she was more raw.
