Thanks for all the thought-provoking music Greg. And thanks for all of those years of reminding me that I'm not the only one who is worried, or the only one who is pissed off. And that I didn't have anything to live up to except for the man that I, myself, wanted to be.
all the numb nuts in the audience thought they were going to see a fuckin real world reunion show instead they got legend yet they are too stupid to realize because they love mtv
You generally get less angry and accepting when you get older, no need to put the punk rock uniform on as it doesn't matter so much......unless you're Henry Rollins....then you'd be a full time prick!
20 people are pissed by the crossbuster logo.... ^^
but imagine they would have chosen the islamic crescent moon sympol back in the days. i guess every bad religion vid on yt had a nice lightsaber instead of the green mile ...
@DaedStarr There's nothing simple about the melody he plays with those chords, there's some impressive picking goin' on there. Like at 1:27. Bluegrass style rhythm like this is just as hard as lead in rock when played properly.
@Deanbass77 No, that's actually him doing little hammer-ons while playing the chords. The picking is generic. You can see that at 1:38 when it shows him picking and then after that when it shows him switching the chords. I am a musician. I've been playing for over 10 years. That is simple. It's one of the first tricks you learn when playing a solo acoustic guitar to make it sound better. If that's as hard as lead guitar, then just about everyone I know must be an amazing guitar player.
@sonicreducer92 Never said it wasn't. I was simply educating someone on the simplicities of what he was doing who thought it was complicated and hard to do. I love the song. It's still on my mp3 player.
Punk Rock Can Be So Bland And Boreing after 2 albums. This Is A Lovely change. Bad religion makesgood music but its just punk rock its not great. try listining to some cross genre's like sublime, now that is outstanding music
@MakeHate funny dude, Was good friends with his son, met him once, seemed more or less like that. Just kinda an intellectual dad, not really an anarchist
@MakeHate I think we all get older, we all age and of course physically speaking we change. The values, the beliefs, and the opinions are what we can retain if we truly want to. He is punk rock and he will always be because punk rock is not necessarily a style of music and certainly not a style of dress. Punk rock is a belief and you are absolutely right...Greg Graffin lives it everyday and I appreciate him so much for writing this song. We need this song.
Greg la rompe!!, lo admiro muchisimo en varios aspectos. No necesita hacer algo muy complicado para llegar a la gente con tanta calidez convirtiendo sus canciones harcore melodicas en deleites acusticos, la verdad me saco el sombrero con este tipo, un genio.
Oh maan ... his eyes were full ... This is my favourite song off all time. Let me tell you something now ... this man is far more intelligent than you think, he'll never go so far and call himself an atheist, that will be just stupid and like he said himself ..."It doesn't really mean something about who are you and what you do so i prefer naturalist" So stop talking about something you don't know or understand.
@IcoTumbev How is calling oneself atheist stupid? Disbelief isn't stupid when confronted with hundreds of competing beliefs without a shred of evidence to support any.
The label that most closely resembles me is secular humanist. Freedom and peace for each and everyone. Free from religious/military/racial persecution. Am I still stupid for wanting this in a secular fashion?
@Asganoth He is an atheist. But he prefers the term naturalist because it makes it expresses much more than the fact that he doesn't believe in a god.
@TheFiveoIce No, the term naturalist doesn't express disbelief better than atheist. It's just another label. I suppose it's up to the person to choose what to be called. I mean, there isn't a word to signal disbelief in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. So the term atheist is just another basket to be thrown in by the religious crowd.
@TheFiveoIce Well thats only partially true, what he said was that he prefers the term Naturalist because it shows that he has undertaken a thought process (the study of evolutionary biology and natural science) to come to the conclusion that he was an atheist, just saying you are an atheist doesn't explain why you don't believe in a god, saying you are a naturalist shows that there is a reason and a logic behind your choice.
@danimal260 that might have been it. ivee really wanted to get a copy of that book but cant find it in any stores. i might just need to order it from amazon.
Religion is like a cock, pull it out and offend people.. alright alright, the point of this metaphor is "keep it in your pants" or to yourself and play with it when no ones around!
@FreakyKing2 Not just atheist gospel, but Christian gospel.... The truths that Greg sings about resonates deeply with believers as it does with athiests. There's no honest Christian that says he or she doesn't have doubt. There cannot be belief without some doubt, it's true. It's funny, cuz a huge amount of Bad Religion fans are also Christians, and it's because Greg plays on our hearts and intellect, challenges us, and tests us, and for that, I am very grateful.....
I like how Greg looks old in a good way, and not like a fucked up way old because of drug abuse and two decades with heavy drinking and full of tattoos and shit.
