The Handshake - Bad Religion

[zKronious]

I can't believe that I was 1 when this video was filmed but now Bad Religion is becoming my favorite band.

[TheRNTorres]

(Bad Religion Kings of Punk)Bad Religion is Truth the rest are fake

[chrishirschfeld]

Oh so true! Graffin should be president but he is probably bright enough to turn it down unlike the inhabitants of the White House since 1989.

[drleela7]

sounds like shit

[xeroxhands]

This year I started getting into BR...jfc...cheers for the inspiring thoughts and tones dudes!!!!

[morganix007]

I prefer Bobby on drums.

[YaWantTaters]

Why does it look like Gurewitz(sp) is playing bass? I thought he only played lead and rhythm and only Bentley played bass... maybe they interchange sometimes.

[allfantasticimages]

@YaWantTaters It doesn't?

[TheRNTorres]

@YaWantTaters are You jerk ?where you see this? Gurewitz playing bass in this video?!

Only Jay Play Bass Mr Brett was not in the band this season.

[bedtimefordemocracy]

whose stage right? is that brian baker? if so then damn he looks young hahah

[YaWantTaters]

@bedtimefordemocracy Exomorphic and and black-sweatered; Brian Baker must've been on a diet eh?

[Sam5LC]

about the lyrics ... what do you do when you meet someone of a different class or race to shun superficiality? Should I negotiate a better contract between my race/class with them individually? I see the point about contracts and the point about unity, but I can't get past the part about the handshake.

[trancedsailor]

Offspring's Ignition and Smash are absolutely fucking punkrock. I grew up on them, along with BR and Pennywise.

[bedtimefordemocracy]

@trancedsailor precisely the same for me

[trancedsailor]

everything is superficial in this life. Nobody really gives a fuck about anyone. Job interviews are fake as fuck, handshakes are worthless symbols that are used to pretend you actualy give a flying fuck. FUCK society. I'm going to be homeless because I can't lie to myself to get a fucking job with pricks doing shit I hate.

[YaWantTaters]

@trancedsailor I am eight years ahead of you; odd since I'm sure I'm at least five years older.

[muriloffreitas]

In one song, told how's the real world completely! It's all about contracts and handshakes.

[MadjackMcMad78]

4 people do not believe in unity, are not willing to compromise, and would lie and/or sell their souls.

[aquelemarcelo]

4 people don't deserve a handshake

[Klatjofsky]

@aquelemarcelo The Bad Religion fans are not amused by your shenanigans!

[S0ckless]

early offspring is golden.. tell me their ST album and ignition aren't punk as fuck

[graffin66]

fucking brlilliant

[Killyaselfdie]

@jas0nv00r33s

Shut it you cunt. Your supposed to support your "fellow humans" even when they make idiotic mistakes lol

[PixiesFanatic]

One of my top 3 favorites

[youlemur]

punk rock at its finest

before the offspring and other lousy clones killed it

[mrpogo72]

@youlemur

I always blamed green day more than the offspring

[Killyaselfdie]

@youlemur

Offspring ain't too bad. I must admit though some of the songs are terrible but then others are awesome!!

[blanketofscars]

WOW! Such energy! Great post. Brian's backing vocals sound excellent and Greg G. had quite a bounce goin' on.

[Flechiz]

so fucking song!!!

[bowlsallbroken]

Are you sure? :)

[biezulbub669]

man, brian baker looked a lot skinnier back then lol.

[witchgod]

and brooks was a lot fatter

[biezulbub669]

@witchgod LOL that ain't brooks...... Brooks joined the band in 2001. That's good ol' Bobby Schayer drummin' here in this vid.

[TheDemonicFilmCritic]

Now I wanna jump into a mosh pit and push people. lol

[oxrjbizzle1984y]

sounds pretty good to me! i love this song live or in the studio, either way it is great!

[TheDemonicFilmCritic]

I agree! Some bands can't sound good when their live , but Bad Religion is an exception

[childofJAH90]

whats with that moshpit?? disgusting for a bad religion concert

[fenrir245]

omfg that is weak

[m3rktokes]

yeah... WHAT moshpit! ha ha

[oxrjbizzle1984y]

lyrics to this song are so true, real fucking life!

[handimwald]

Awesome song

[metmass]

The "fend for yourself" bit is marvellous. I'd love to see the whole show. Brian looks cool!

[JohnZackarias]

The whole show does exist, some Youtube user has put it up, you can even download it!

The channel's called brshows.

[makdrunken]

excelente cancion saludos desde  mexico

[platnumfire]

lol...

funny moshpit...

[macfan9000]

How can you not mosh to Bad Religion?

[JohnZackarias]

I saw Bad Religion in June.

I didn't mosh. Why?

Because I stood in complete awe and fascination.

It was a divine moment...

[MickeRamone]

Excactly, the same with me...Well I sang along on every song as loud as I could but I stood in place :)

I also saw them live in june last year, at West Coast Riot in Sweden, where you there too ?

[JohnZackarias]

Yeah. One of the best fucking nights of my life.

They put up a really good show.

Nofx doing We're Only Gonna Die was a perfect ending!

[MickeRamone]

Cool man =) Yeah it was fantastic!

The whole "fuck the bridge" thing was pretty hilarious too :)

Havent decided if I'll go there this year too, so far they got Pennywise, Social Distortion and some other ....good bands indeed , but I'm in short supply of cash :(

[JohnZackarias]

Indeed, Fat Mike is naturally a very funny guy.

I'm going back this year, even though the line-up is pretty weak compared to last year's great effort.

I can't miss Social Distortion when they're here, though.

[mangethegamer]

i where there.

One of the best concerts i've seen

[BringBRToTheUK]

@JohnZackarias I didn't mosh either when I saw them this year, even though they're my favourite band. I don't enjoy it as much that way.

[JohnZackarias]

@BringBRToTheUK Yeah I saw them last year again and I just prefer to listen to the music and sort of participate in the musical experience with the band.

[ePRmu]

bad ass song... one of my favoirties off of

stranger than fiction..just under markovian process...

[jb111082]

hell yeah..." Markooooooviiian process / lead us not in vaaaiiin "

[megadankk]

fuck the handshake its meaning less, better to just fend for yourself and shun the hanshake!

[SpawnTheHellSoldier]

amazing!!

[livingminimal]

This song gives me goose bumps, every time. Greg nails another global certainty; just because someone shakes your hand doesn't mean ulterior motives aren't afoot.

[yayadenial]

lol pussys in moshpit

[goanarchy]

they're old enough to be my parents but they are still kicking ass

[h8style]

I Love this Song!!!!!

[belosofican]

what's this song about?

[felsner1]

Shanking hands.

[paulopilha]

It´s about how shaking hands can be sometimes superficial. For example, in politics there are a lot of unreal handshakes. Two presidents are shaking their hands in a international meeting thinking "fuck you, your mother fucker".

[r0ll3dd]

It's anti-Capitalist i believe.

[oxrjbizzle1984y]

thats definitely part of it!

[gtarpunk]

That is brian baker at 2.28. He has blue hair instead of blonde.

[NuklearEra]

yyeeaaahh its brian

and he should do like that all the time

[jfowler418]

Who is playing stand in guitar ar 2:28? This must have been right before Brian joined, because it is obviously not Brett, Brian, Jay or Hetson.

[alkaline388]

I'm pretty sure that's Brian.

[belosofican]

it IS brian

my first BR autograph was Brian's,and he had a blue hair by the time

[cellunatic]

Why can't more bands try to be more sophisticated, just as BR is...?

[mattsup69]

because it's all about the chicks and recognition for them. they have no angst other than wanting to be somebody.

[NYnkeeGrl]

Man, I would kill to see them play this song live.

[sensationelis]

totally agree!

[Errornix]

Best. Band. Ever.

[billybrews40s]

BR rules 5stars

[selfademus]

kickass!

[tuxramone]

Graffin for President :) - now I believe in unity, and I am willing to compromise,

but I'm not gonna lie or sell my soul

[comejoinus]

best song of "stranger than fiction". Super!

[ebu666]

one of the best song in punk-rock history!!!!!!!!!its fucking awsome

[keyran1990]

The lyrics are full of wisdom

[dontprayonme]

Awesome,awesome,awesome!

[taycttin1]

Haha, yeah. I knew it wasn't right the way I spelled it...

[jorg177]

'Lorelei' :)

[Faneman]

I love this fucking band!!!

[michalsnake]

Jay aurai dû plus chanter..

[alemont]

amazing!! :))
