| its bands like earth crisis that give straight edge a bad name...this isnt a bad song, its just the lyrics are so "oh im edge therefore that gives me the right to hurt a load of people" straight edge is a fucking positive movement, its about not being dragged down by vices like drugs, and its militant bastards like EC that give us a bad name | |

| i agree! if it wasnt for earth crisis, a lot of hardcore bands wouldnt even be around today! this band, with their lyrics and song order have single handedly set the standard for hardcore/metal-core as we now know it! | |

| I like Propagandhi's song about this song and Earth Crisis. It's called "Firestorm, My Ass": heard a song and i counted out loud the two-steps, the goose-steps back. back from square one, from where we'd just begun, and then it rang a bell-but is this kristallnacht or what the fuck is your plan? would you care to expand? and i don't deny the choice, but I defy you as the voice of anything i've stood for in these past 9 years, i've conquered the nurturing and found that anything worth conquering is powered, built and backed by fear, not by fact. and having said that... meat is still murder. dairy is still rape. and i'm still as stupid as anyone, but i know my mistakes. i have recognized one form of oppression, now i recognize the rest. and life's too short to make another's shorter. | |

| I very much dislike any Straight Edge form of music, including Earth Crisis. I respect them as musicians, but I find this music pointless in listening to. 95% of Straight Edge music is some anemic on stage screaming about how he beat up some kid he saw eating a hamburger. | |

| "The person who made the first comment on this page mentioned Reversal Of Man because Reversal Of Man immated the start of Firestorm in one of their songs... they kinda sped it up and stuff... I dunno what their intentions were, probably taking the piss outa the straight edge thing..... " no. at a earth crisis show the band got fans to beat up the lead singer of reversal of man for some dumb reason | |

| "All of the metallic hardcore today is just emulating Earth Crisis." untrue, if they were to emulate earth crisis they would be terrible, since earth crisis is infact, terrible. Except for this song, which is awesome. | |

| "Ha, Reversal Of Man is so much better than Earth Crisis, Suck it." I didn't realize Earth Crisis played grindcore. Why the fuck are all of the pop-emo songs getting so many comments and classics like Firestorm not getting any respect? Ridiculous. What an influential song, what an influential band. All of the metallic hardcore today is just emulating Earth Crisis. | |

I dunno what their intentions were, probably taking the piss outa the straight edge thing..... Anyhow, I'm a very non stright edge person (I enjoy getting drunk and all and fuck being a vegan!) but I just love the lyrics in this song... so fucking powerful... The whole delivery of the song is intense.... If i was straight edge I would make this my fucking anthem... but im not so much respect anyway! | |

| I'm a drunk, and I still know this song is badass. "This song makes me want to go beat the shit out of all the drunk fucks out there." Yeah, definitely. I mean, because you're certainly better than them, and your choice not to drink or smoke or do any drugs (two of which are very legal) gives you the right to "beat the shit" out of them... right? | |
