Reflections on straight edge

For anyone considering being straight edge, I will tell you that it was a very difficult decision to make. I have been straight edge since 1998, and I can remember the day that I decided to stop drinking and smoking and be straight edge. I had the experience of being able to try booze and cigs before, so it wasn't like I was missing out on anything. This however is something that causes people to break their edge - they feel like they are missing out on something. Straight edge isn't a set of rules, or a gang, it's a way of life. I can now say I have NO straight edge friends anymore who I talk to and hang out with - this is pretty sad. Many of them have moved on and I am increasingly feeling isolated. I do however feel that part of being edge is being positive, and this feeling has helped me in the toughest times. How have you felt?

SHELTER - HERE WE GO

Though not a straightedge band, this album was influential to me and found a regular rotation in my CD player.

Bane - Can we start again

They say they aren't a straight edge band, but Bane will always be there as one of my favorite bands.

Random Straightedge Video

Favorite Videos on YouTube

Strife - Blistered

This video was one of the first I saw when I was first getting into hardcore music. It has a killer breakdown part and the bassist flips his guitar - so cool!
