Bad Religion

[i_am_zombie_jesus]

I want to go to theyre show on the 15th...But I cant *cries*

[lynch_me]

Is it just me or is the secuirty at venues, and these places they hire ridiculous? They're not hiring people who are qualifies as long as you look like a gorilla. Not to generalize, but the majority of secuirity guards at shows are jerks.

[Rootsradical]

I want to like Bad Religion, but i just cant...

I feel the same about Black Flag. That must have been a great show. I've seen Bad Religion and Anti-Flag numerous times and they are both amazing live.

[TheNowhereman42]

I saw Bad Religion once.

They were pretty good, despite the fact that I don't really like them.

[emobasher]

I think that bad religion is alright just a little over rated and i like anti-flag alot so yea

[littlebeast]

Bad Religion gets respect for their long-*** career. Anti-Flag, despite the fact they put out a few good albums, are just pathetic these days (read - hypocrites).

[obese_breasts]

I think that bad religion is alright just a little over rated and i like anti-flag alot so yea

I'm sorry.

[lynch_me]

I want to go to theyre show on the 15th...But I cant *cries*
I'll be there.

[Weezerfan_returns]

I'm seeing that show tomorrow... Poopywise will be playing too. Oh well, Im sure pennywise will be ok live.





IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS I WILL SEE GREG GRAFFINS BALD ***! hooray

[TheNowhereman42]

When I saw Pennywise they made up for sucking by providing free vodka and redbull with virtually no checking of ID's.

[Lazybassplr56]

I saw that bald head when he played with the Circle Jerks last year. Good times.

[Lazybassplr56]

When I saw Pennywise they made up for sucking by providing free vodka and redbull with virtually no checking of ID's.

Where did they play?

[TheNowhereman42]

I didn't drive and was also really wasted so I have no idea acctually.

I kindof got dragged there, but when i saw free stuff i rejoiced. And also, they weren't really that bad.

[fatwreckpunk]

i have seen Religion twice. MY favourite band ever, the band that got me into punk rock. There live shows are just great, when they play generator live, its just the best atmosphere for a song i have ever heard and seen live, you have to be at the fron or near the front for the full bad religion experience as it makes you feel more part of it

[fatwreckpunk]

this is not available on cd, its an lp only and is very hard to find, trust me you dont wanna hear it anymore than you have to, its terrible, im suprised the band didnt change their name after this, but luckily most BR fans dont even think about it now, they overcome this when they released suffer :)

[tappenzee]

By the way, how are people saying that BR suck now? Have you heard Empire Strikes First? That could arguably be album of the year for 2004...amazing ****

[DaveToopes]

I loved empire strikes first too, it's just not as good as their old stuff. (suffer)

[FunknPunk]

bad religion is... meh... but good :)

and i dont talk about anti-flag

[Homelesshero]

i had the choice of seeing anti-flag and bad religion or knucklehead and the rebel spell. i went with knucklehead and the rebel spell.

now i like bad religion, but knucklehead and the rebel spell were cheaper and better live.

[albert_bass]

I'd love to go to that show. Both bands are amazing.

I'm sure BR are much better live though.

[Aus Rotten]

Black Religion is the only band in that set i'd go to see, because there's a cirle jerk on guitar, Hetson I believe. Not only that, but they are are decent band. Anti-Flag on the other hand is not only terribly, but their politics are so whiny in their songs. It must've been a pain to sit there through they're whiny rant...

[FunknPunk]

black or bad religion? :eek:

[Get Fighted]

I think that bad religion is alright just a little over rated and i like anti-flag alot so yea
:rolleyes:

[Theramed]

I saw them together at reading festival i dont like anti-flag that much but they were good them preaching annoyed me though. Bad religion ui loved though they didnt play i want to conquer the world

[FunknPunk]

letter bomb, why do you have an "i hate anti-flag" title and your avatar is blink 182...?

[AIRIC]

I can't get into Bad Religion.

[DrGolovaCroxby]

anti-flag is decent live if you ignore the preaching.

[lynch_me]

The majority of bands perform well live.

[Liebensaft]

I want to like Bad Religion, but i just cant...
Same here. They sound the same on all their songs/albums.

I've seen Anti-Flag before though. Pretty ****ing good.:thumb:

[mullets suk]

wot do all of you thnk about Bad Religions live album TESTED

i think its ok but its not that great becaue it is broken up and its not rally a live album

[Mr.Shankly]

Bad Religion's first cd is incredible. The Voice of God is Government, World War 3, and **** Armageddon, This Is Hell...are all amazing songs. Their newer stuff is more of a guilty pleasure for me...but it definitly isnt bad music.

[Drop The Baby]

I've seen Bad Religion three times, they're one of the best live bands ever. Amazingly tight on strage, but they don't sacrifice any energy or anything to get it.

[vote me]

"i hate anti flag"

what a gimp.....(letter bomb)

[xChargedxPunkx]

i dont know very much bad religion......but that one song i cant think of is good lol

[AIRIC]

American Jesus is the only BR song I know.

[lynch_me]

I am seeing this show tonight in Toronto.

[ZaaR]

I am seeing this show tonight in Toronto.

Aw man, you're bloody lucky. I wanted to get tickets to that show but they were kind of expensive, I have hockey, I had virtually no one to go with, and they sold out in like a day or something. I hope you have fun man, I know I did when I saw Anti-Flag on last years Warped Tour.

[Lazy.]

I was going to see them last Thursday at Congress Theatre in Chicago, but it sold out.

Damn :(

[Jersey's Best Dancer]

BR is cool live i guess. They played their old shizz so it made it better.

[Brain Toad]

*fixes title because bad grammar is painful to constantly read*

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Saw a setlist from them playing the other day and it looked horrible. They better play better songs on saturday.

[obese_breasts]

Last time i saw them they played an awesome set, but i'm pretty certain the have been changing up sets.

[lynch_me]

Saw a setlist from them playing the other day and it looked horrible. They better play better songs on saturday.
For us they played: American Jesus, sinister Rouge, Recipe for hate, let them eat war, sorrow, infected, epiphany, 21st digital boy, no control etc.

I wanted them to play kyoto now really bad.

Yeah it was good, but that was an expensive show.

[TakeWarning]

I saw Anti-Flag play live once. They were pretty good, except they stopped halfway through some songs to talk about protests and other **** I don't care about when I'm in a mosh pit.

I don't really like Anti-Flag anymore.

What do you mean stopped half-way through songs? Like half-way through their songs or half-way through their sets? I don't like Anti Flag, but if a band is going to talk about good meaningful protests through their set, I don't mind that. If it's during a song that doesn't make sense really. Last night they yelled at some guy for touching a women's breats, and called in an act of sexism (x1003022 swearing.)

[AIRIC]

That's so lame.

Setlist I heard about from like last week, it's a terrible list. Missing so many amazing songs.

[Ross]

Owcho. They have way better song than that... what were they thinking?

As for anti-flag, I can't help but love em. Yeah they preach a lot, but they feel strongly, so I'll let em off for it :) Great songs easily make up for it anyway.

[holy_roller99]

antiflag is amazingly knowledgable about that kind of stuff. the thing is is that instead of being anarcho they are more of a change it instead of destroy it. besides i missed this concert because it got sold out(when they came to edmonton). i was kind of pissed but not too surprised. and about the set list, man, they should revise that a bit. im kind of surprised that they have not tried any of thier old stuff.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

Yeah, I could've gone to that and in my town it was Anti-Flag, Pennywise, and Bad Religion, and I wasn't going to pay $22 for only wanting to see one band.

[holy_roller99]

yeah pennywise has sucked 4 a while. was it bad religion or antiflag?

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

Bad Religion definetly.

[Weezerfan_returns]

I saw the show..and it was amazing. Pennywise was kinda lame, but oh well.

Anti Flag was awesome. People talk on here about them preaching. It seems like such a cool, trendy thing to do, to bitch about them "preaching". First of all, they only talk for like, thirty seconds, two times or so between songs. Second of all, they're preaching is worthwhile, and they say important stuff. Third, someone else who used to "preach" who only gets praised, and never gets bitched about is...Jello Biafra. (jello also had some GREAT things to say). On live bootlegs, or the live album Mutiny On The Bay, Jello banters on and on about Regan and stuff, and no one seems to bitch. Greg graffin spent more time talking about the return of NHL hockey (The Minn. Wild) to the twin cities area than Anti Flag spent talking about the government and such.

Both bands were great, especially Bad Religion. (no control was the ****!)

[lynch_me]

Honestly That list you got Reiner is almost exact to what they played for us.

[Ghostfire3]

Honestly That list you got Reiner is almost exact to what they played for us.

That's because bands have things called set lists. Most bands use the same one in every city they tour.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Most bands change their setlists up unless they're cocks and want to disappoint fans.

[DaveToopes]

Yeah, I could've gone to that and in my town it was Anti-Flag, Pennywise, and Bad Religion, and I wasn't going to pay $22 for only wanting to see one band.

Hey, I paid 20 to see Social D.

[lynch_me]

That's because bands have things called set lists. Most bands use the same one in every city they tour.
Yes, very good. Some bands decide to switch, and play other songs too. It's called creating a new setlist. For example Greg told us they were playing some songs they didn't play the night before.

[victimofreality]

They should have at least played their entire discography.

jerks

[The Scientist]

god... what happend to all the stage presence? bad religion lost a lot of thier stage presence in the last couple of years. not as energetic. like the guys from against me! are constantly moving, same as anti-flag. I like to go to a show and see a band that MOVES on stage. not one that just stands there and bobs in time with the music.

[Death_or_Glory]

What do you mean stopped half-way through songs? Like half-way through their songs or half-way through their sets? I don't like Anti Flag, but if a band is going to talk about good meaningful protests through their set, I don't mind that. If it's during a song that doesn't make sense really.

My friends went to that show, I went to the kitchener one.

I liked Anti Flag more than Bad Religion *prepares for flame*

Where do you live?

[The Scientist]

dude, you deserve no flame... it's your opinion.

[Liebensaft]

I'd rather see Anti-Flag than Bad Religion.

[Jessizzle]

Im a big Anti Flag fan. but I dont feel the need to go to a Bad religion/anti flag show.

[TakeWarning]

To be honest, Anti-Flag were good live, but I imagine Bad Religion would be pretty boring live.

[Drop The Baby]

This thread seems to be a complete turnaround to usual, no-ones slagging off Anti-Flag and people are putting down BR.

BR are awasome live, one of the great live acts who are still currently together playing. And when i say great i mean GREAT

[ZaaR]

Ugh, I found out that Protest the Hero played in Toronto with them. I can't stand PTH, so that would have ruined my night if I went.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Seeing them tomorrow. I'm getting there late so I only have to see them.

[victimofreality]

this is not available on cd, its an lp only and is very hard to find, trust me you dont wanna hear it anymore than you have to, its terrible, im suprised the band didnt change their name after this, but luckily most BR fans dont even think about it now, they overcome this when they released suffer :)
It is available on cd, but just as a promo.

My friend saw it at a garage sale and bought it for me. 20 dollars.

[KingOfSka]

Anybody wanna reccomend me an album? I just downloaded The Empire Strikes First, I don't know if I like it that much though,

It good but i could see what they were trying to do not recording the crowd,
But at the end of the day its always the best thing to hear the crowd in a live album

[MAthiAS]

Alright, I see them TONIGHT. Anyone else going to Starland?

I'm in Basking Ridge which is Somerset County.

[fatwreckpunk]

some band we palyed a gig with tonight murdered YOU, by bad religion obviously, it was with just a drummer and a guitarist / lead singer. no bassist or other guitarist, it was diasterous

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Well, worst posssible set they could have played. They had atleast 10 more amazing songs that should have been played.

Turn on the Light
Anesthesia
21st Century Digital Boy
Generator
No Control
You
American Jesus
Recipe for Hate
Suffer
Overture/Sinister Rouge
All There Is
LA is Burning
Let Them Eat War
God's Love
The Gray Race
Come Join Us
Supersonic
Prove It
Sorrow
Epiphany
Defense

[MAthiAS]

^^They played Infected and Man with a Mission too, and I agree about the setlist. They played like the worst songs on Suffer, disappointing with that being my favorite album of theirs.

[fatwreckpunk]

i think i must have been lucky the 2 times i saw them, they played all my fave songs from suffer / no control and all of my favourite newer songs. I think they are sticking to the same set a lot on tour at the moment, well its seems thats way

[Weezerfan_returns]

Anybody wanna reccomend me an album? I just downloaded The Empire Strikes First, I don't know if I like it that much though,

Theyre definitely an aquired taste. It took me a little while to really get into 'em. I'd buy some of their older stuff, like Suffer, or No Control. Or you could get the greatest hits cd "all ages"

[Drop The Baby]

Not for me, i loved them the minute i heard Give You Nothing on Punk-O-Rama 2.

Discussions on BR's best release could seriously go on all day, so i'd agree and say get All Ages

[fatwreckpunk]

they have been one of my favourite punk bands since i first heard suffer. that album sold them to me, its just incredible

[KingOfSka]

Right on, thanks. :thumb:

[victimofreality]

Get Against The Grain. Trust me.

[white_riot]

Get "How could Hell be any Worse" awesome album.

[POINTLESS5448]

i have no control and its :thumb:

[fatwreckpunk]

suffer is still the best imo, and will always be my favourite BR album, i dont think they could possibly make one better

[vote me]

get suffer first

[MAthiAS]

suffer is still the best imo, and will always be my favourite BR album, i dont think they could possibly make one better
Against the Grain is pretty close, but I agree.

People don't seem to mention Stranger than Fiction too much, but I'm realizing now that its pretty sick.

[shamed-angel]

suffer is still the best imo, and will always be my favourite BR album, i dont think they could possibly make one better
I think No Control. Suffer is awesome, just doesn't hit it for me. No Control was my first Br album. Both times I saw them, they played loadsa stuff off it.

AND MODERN MAN!

[victimofreality]

Stranger than Fiction is tight, but Greg's writing seems way weaker than on any of their other albums. That and Recipe for Hate have Brett's best lyrics.

[Phillip_schranck]

Gosh I have never heard any Bad Religion except this live thing which was really cool. But I got no money. Could anybody YSI me some. Thanks.

[Punk/SkaMan44]

the only song by them ive heard is epiphany and i thought it was pretty good

[_JR]

the only song by them ive heard is epiphany and i thought it was pretty good

epiphany doesnt sound like a lot of any other BR songs. very experimental track.

[_JR]

Get "How could Hell be any Worse" awesome album.

is that the same as 80-85?

if it it, yeah its awesome.

[skavid]

is that the same as 80-85?

if it it, yeah its awesome.
Yeah it's "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?" with their first EP, their stuff off of the Public Service comp, and "Back To The Known."

[fatwreckpunk]

i think if i bought no control first it would probably be my favourite, i just have very good memories as suffer was the first punk album i heard. I like it more and more everytime i hear it. I then bought the remastered version. I gave the remastrered version to my girlfriend as i thought to myself i wanted to keep the original quality version just because of the memories of first hearing it

[_JR]

Yeah it's "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?" with their first EP, their stuff off of the Public Service comp, and "Back To The Known."
ok yeah, thats what i thought. it's really good though, they sound so young, but still so talented, gonna go listen to it now

[lynch_me]

Greg has a raspy teen voice in their early early years. Then just a couple years later he had the voice he has now. Puberty!

[skavid]

Well, yeah the band members were only 15 when they released their first EP.

[victimofreality]

Join the handshake.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but yes, that is one of Greg's lame songs.

And it's shun the handshake.

[Weezerfan_returns]

When i saw them a few weeks ago, Brett wasnt there, just Greg Hetson and Brian Baker :( Why no Brett?

[Drop The Baby]

I read in an interview that he doesn't like to tour anymore, he said he's 'not a touring musician'.

I@ve seen them three times and he's not been there, probably too busy running epitaph. Or too lazy
