If I am assuming correctly that you are an avid listener of ABR then you should know by now what they believe (Christianity). I dont know if Im the only one but to me using that language is repulsive. I agree with how Jon repsponded to that. You know that this world (secularly speaking) will always have a negative responce to what Christians believe.

Well, however you cut it, ABR is an awesome band. The guitar riffs are simply amazing and the lyrics are very inspirational, and I agree with Alex about Redemption. That song almost made me cry the first time I heard it and it still sends a chill down my spine, it's so good. Same thing with The Seventh Trumpet, although there's no crying involved..lol. I really enjoy listening to Thrill Seeker and Messengers. But anyway, about ABR's beliefs and stuff...Jake didn't say he was for abortion or against it, he just said he doesn't want to get on the topic. So come on, don't start judging the band...seriously. And even if he is pro-abortion, it's his choice. And the other band members could be pro-life so yeah. And about Dustin smoking (lol I know you already cleared this up, Dustin but I just have to get this out there) it's like JB said in the AbortTV interview: "We do not smoke the reefs!" So there you go. lol Anyway, yeah they're funny guys, lol. September Turns Green, haha xD. Yeah I wonder how some of those cover songs would sound tho...O_o But hey if it's ABR it's gotta be frickin awesome! Even if it's Shakira or Spice Girls lol. August Burns Red, you guys are so amazingly good and I will continue to listen to you guys until I'm old and can't hear anymore! \m/ Wow…there’s some contraversy here lol.

Perhaps they want to focus on the music side of things, the technical side of their music and the views which they put across with each song. Not the opinions of single band members on various issues that they may not want to disclose for fear of it affecting the music side of things, why should a band be judged on the personal views of the members? I'm not saying I don't care what a band think as long as they have omg awesome riffs, I just think a band shouldn't have to put forward their views for people to criticise.

It's very entertaining. Amazing band, amazing music. That's all that needs to be said. What they stand for and believe is not for us to judge.

I am in awe. With that said, I am disappointed a bit in the responses to these questions. First, I was a bit turned off by the desire for success. I'm sure the band will do very well, but I would have hoped for a more meaningful vision than that. Second, there are far more important subjects than gun control. I wish they had said more about the politics thing. It seems that they are rather liberal, which would explain their refusal to deal with abortion. I know it's a difficult issue, but both sides will agree that it is terribly important. I lose respect for people who do not have the guts to defend their positions. I am left with the impression that the band is not pro-life, which is their decision, but as they know, this would cost many Christian fans and put a dent in that success they want. This would explain their refusal to touch the topic. Like I said, this band is amazing musically and I enjoy their shows, but I'd like to see more a bit more integrity.
