Greg Graffin - Cease (Piano)

[05bacs05]

an awesome version of a great song...

[Mel4645]

Bad Religion <3

[xcutionerkera]

FUCKING AWESOME BR 4EVER

[bowlsallbroken]

I love how the lowered volume of the piano allows us to hear the crowd quietly singing along :)

[primaenoctis10]

I was not aware that Greg could play piano so well. This is awesome.

[jewie27]

i was there that night at the Paladium when this DVD was filmed

[TheJinxrr]

@jewie27 Which night? I was there for the first night, that was one of the best concerts of my life, lol

[TurtlesButtNaked]

Greg, your strength gives me strength



[ReynVideo]

now i have to find that perfomance of american jesus

[Heime101]

Best Band Ever !! They should be called Right Religion !

[bsheffield87]

Greg's getting up there in age, but he can still fucking rock!

[fmiron76]

3 daltonics XD

[bluefly28]

humans are fucking amazing

[ballymac87]

Greg's the fucking man!! =^D

[BrunoOversett]

3 people were going to click on thumbs up and did press down somehow :o

[zerocaige]

3 people cant appreciate good music

[OdeToTristan]

He'd would take a bus.

[OdeToTristan]

Again, Greg Graffin for President. How cool would it be to have Bad Religion in Airforce One running around the world actually doing something worthwhile?

[FubarLovesBumblebee]

Where can I find the sheet music for this? If it's been made :P

[endpointithaca]

OTRA VEZ MAMA

[thoughtcorrosion]

one of the greatest minds in united states history .... just hope i will be as great a warrior as his words are great ... i'll continue my artwork ... maybe my art will awaken others .... but when my art fails to awaken society ... i will lead an army to fight for freedom... once again.... hope for peace ... prepare for war

[umbreon013]

This has got to be the coolest song live ever. I mean, Generator's good because Greg always messes with the audience XD, but Cease goes from punk to beautiful. Whoo!

[LaCroixIIJohn]

this gave me chills

[MrBofen]

That "not unlike" bar is the size of justin bieber's penis

[AssOfSteel1]

@MrBofen And how the fuck do you know that...?

[PantsOperator]

@MrBofen

I'm viewing youtube on my big screen tv.



[RosalindaeLopez]

I LOVE GREG!!!<3<3<3

[alainargueta]

there's only one who thinks justin biever is better live than Greg

[pathyrosa75]

gostei muito toca bemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[mrobin205]

glad to have this DVD c:

[andremarialva]

greatest band ever

[michaeldeckernk]

Bei dem Lied läuft mir ein kalter Schauer den Rücken runter... Hoffe sie kommen zum RaR dieses Jahr. :-)

[xvxtrio]

Bad Religion and Greg Graffin are ROCKs!! and 1 idiot are jealous.

[Vulg4r]

@xvxtrio I don't think they're rocks...

[xvxtrio]

@Vulg4r I think u r Justin bieber FAN :)

[Vulg4r]

@xvxtrio you are*

[xvxtrio]

@Vulg4r got problem with that? :)

[kylematheney]

This was my favorite song on the whole Grey Race album. This was a great medium to do it in.

[g4aaaa]

ima kick that fuckers ass who disliked this

well it most likely was an accident

[TheMiles8619]

Who's the dumbass who disliked this?

[jaansnbrowny]

double-like

[NARCOLEPTICpediphile]

he is very impressive with music.. hes like prince but kkicks more ass

[subliminaltikva]

i am so having this played at my funeral,by Greg,

[nazaxprime]

@subliminaltikva Best of luck with that. Obviously, Greg would have to survive you for that to happen... You still sure you want that? ;)

[subliminaltikva]

@nazaxprime if not him,then perhaps one of the other band members

[skoda10]

@subliminaltikva can i come to your funeral?

[chillyrooster]

what a great son hls mother ralsed thx to greta graffln we have greg

[SkylarLbassist]

greg is amazing.

[thececa55]

punk from Serbia (ex yugoslavia) suport. Anti politix

[mrcreosote44]

i flag this for being too good.

[JeffHardyFanNY]

Really amazing song, & the dvd that it's on is great too! I'm just pissed I missed BR in NYC this past October

[smarticus2000]

1 person dislikes this.. 1 person without a soul.

[tator5281]

@smarticus2000 i only liked this comment becouse it is so ironic. i love greg graffin and his music. look up greg graffin and religion, or belife in souls

[MrSlimbov]

If all political bodies were as smart as this man, wat a world we would live in!!

[ILikeTheThingsIDo]

I want this shit played at my funeral! Seriously, properly somber, but, irreligious music is hard to come by.

[palegreendead]

@ILikeTheThingsIDo My funeral too. This is soulful without being full of soul (in the christian-authoritative sense). As a writer and philosopher, I cannot explain this song (despite my grasp of language and logic) in words beyond "beautiful."

[GiraffeMoo]

matt bellamy eat your heart out!

i still love you muse, is just right now im dissapointed of you for americanize your music.

thank you Bad religion for 30 years!!

[qqssaa]

i love Bad Religion , I love Greg Graffin.... bad religion forever !!

[zzyzx0788]

Such a sad song if you really listen to it

[posthc]

!!!! American Lesion !!!! dam rare cd/lp :) but i got a orginal cd copy

[quittersremedy]

Who's the stupid asshole that disliked this?

[xLevante]

I fucking love this man more than anything I have ever loved in this life and any other I may have existed in. Can't wait for September 28th <3

[earlofchaos1991]

FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!! HE STILL HAS IT!!!!

[rockfan1231]

Gray Race is definitely underrated, It actually flowed really well like their previous albums. In all honesty I wish Greg would have taken longer to write the next album, if it was a combination of all the best songs of No Substance and New America then it could have been one great album instead of two mediocre ones.

[damnitface77]

Does anyone have a version of this on MP3 or CD they can share? I've been looking forever.

[CivilEngTech]

@damnitface77 Sure do.

[IdleAl]

This guy is a genius. I get the feeling he could do every BR song like this if he wanted to.

[perkie2121]

@IdleAl I am pretty sure this is how Greg writes his songs, to show them to the band

[IdleAl]

@perkie2121

I think he does most of his demos on an acoustic guitar.

[chuckmastazero]

his solo piano version is amazing...love the original, but this is amazing, as is both of his solo albums.

[futilerecordings]

I think The Grey Race is a highly underrated album. It's the first album on which Graffin didn't have Brett's songwriting skills to complement his own. Greg basically wrote the entire album alone (though Baker is credited as co-writer on a few tracks), yet it's incredibly powerful. So glad Brett's back though...best songwriting duo since Lennon/McCartney IMO. I love the fact that this album ends w/ this song..."Everything must...". Perfect.

[megadankk]

imagine if everyone in the world, felt music like us? or accually took what some band have shown and lived by it?

[JoshSeb2005]

I absolutely love Bad Religion and when I saw Greg play this song on piano I lost my mind! Such a good song and it fits so well being played on the piano!

Does anyone know where I can download this piano version?!

[paperboyqc]

@JoshSeb2005 buy American Lesion a solo of Mr Graffin

[Ontdaantje]

30 years of Bad Religion... and hopefully they go on for much much longer

[SonataFanatica]

Brings tears to my eyes every time.

I'm 27 at the moment, been listening to Bad Religion since I was 13. So Greg's voice accompanied me through more than half of my lifetime. Pure magic.

[BenPaquet]

Legendary

[Loohdmila]

I luv you, Greg!!

[samanbas]

muito bom pa mim sempre foi o cara m inspiro como vocalista este cara nm sei o que dizer mesmo

[Casper3701]

The Charles Manson of punk rock... Greg Graffin... Watch the earliest interviews and you can still smell sociopath on his breath...

[wynternight777]

Wow..I had no idea he was doing piano work as well. I've seen some of the BR songs done acoustically but this is amazing. What a talented man.

[nativesurf13]

BEST LYRICS EVER. and the Voice really brings out the HEART of the song.

Grave memorial, hewn white stone.

Like a comforting caress of a mother or a friend you've always known.

It evokes such pain and significance.

what was oncem is reduced to rememberance and the generations pass without recompense.

[Wessffol]

ficou diferente! mais ficou simplismente fodastica!

[PerFusionist80]

The Gray Race is a seriously overlooked album. Really good songs/lyrics on that one.

[oldmansix]

I have this album! Great stuff I should buy more of thier work.

[xxTONIGHTYOUxx]

get it all, u wont be dissapointed!!! :D

[Cubertkowalevicz]

He´s a legend!!

[pacheconline]

Graffin for president!

[norwaycup93]

@pacheconline so true!! ;)

[fahim113]

Magnificent!!

[Punkouttacontrol]

big trippy, do u know how to spell? i have no idea what u said, but u sound pissed. thats all i got out of it.

[punkrockfan9124]

does no one on here know how to spell?

[noparadigm]

this video is one of the many reasons BR are the most amazing punk band in the world! If you guys love BR too you should definitely check out Utopia Now on myspace and lastfm! I mean, BR won't be around forever (but hopefully for another five albums...), and even today the bad religion school of punk rock is virtually extinct. So support the few true successors of that school! They even distribute all their music for free.

[Punkouttacontrol]

wtf is the bad religion school of punk rock?

[noparadigm]

@Punkouttacontrol If you really need an answer to THAT question, I don't see much hope for you...

[Punkouttacontrol]

@noparadigm you wanna answer the question in stead of bein a pompus know it all dick?

[BelSka89]

Just a great song!!!

[MRMUG24]

What Ali-G is trying to say is that this post kicks ass!

[SepticProductions]

GREG GRAFFIN FOR PRESIDENT!!!

[dulishaEGK]

@SepticProductions Greg for President and Tim McIlrath for VP !!!!

[nazaxprime]

@SepticProductions Being one of the fallen Clerics Of BR, I may have my Issues with what they have become... and while I don't support voting for someone to take from others for my own interests, I would consider casting a lot for Mr. Gaffin.

[panaisur1]

what pretantion, everlasting peace...love it

[Sickgirl1]

Ahh<3

[AlecoreSka]

Bravo !!!

[IronOhOne]

Total anarchy is only an ideal anyway, to live without law is to have a law forbidding law. As great as it may sound to many, it's impossible.

[DomeFiah]

@IronOhOne Law is a human made concept. To live completely naturally is to live in anarchy.

[blackholedays]

As long as I know, laws have been existing for ages while anarchy is just a modern concept

[goobaamoo]

he doesn't use his thumbs!

[LachoDroogie]

he is Greg Graffin, he doesn't have to, thats how awesome he is!!!

[SkaPunkMcBobbie]

Yeah right, what a great philosopher and musician! He doesn´t need thumbs, he got brains which make his other 8 finger stronger

[furilainen]

i love this song and this guy!

[kkzooi]

id like this song played at my funeral for some reason...=X

[Collegejew629]

I actually had this song on loop when driving from my dad's funeral. This, Fuel "Hemorhagge in my hands," Blink "Adam's Song" and Eminem "When I'm Gone" were on loop almost the whole day. But this song always stands out, I played it when I heard that my dad died.

[starkissed334]

libertarians, anarchists, utopian, call them what you want. they're atheists, its all over their music. ever heard the generator? it explains a lot. they talk about it at every concert.

[thepunkfish109]

Greg says he's a naturalist. I never would have thought to use that term instead of atheist but now I'm a big fan of it.

[toppador]

This is what we are

[TheSidewalkCipher]

No, Bad Religion is far from anarchy. For better for worse they seem to be very liberal. At one point I Jay supported Obama, or at least "Liked what he stood for." But the band I seriously doubt as a collective Ideology other than "Do what you want." I imagine each member has their own opinions on politics or philosophy. But many of their songs cry out in support of the poor or the everyman, which makes them sound much more like libs, but keep in mind Greg and Brett write ~90% of the songs.

[ROBattles]

You're too quick to assume.

In a very early interview Brett explicitly stated "We are anarchists"... just so you know. Of course, that's when they were around 18, so their views may have changed.

But it's wrong to say that they are liberals / anarchists / whatever until we've heard it from the horse's mouth.

Maybe they're Libertarians... who knows :)

Anarchism is NOT a Utopian or immature ideology.

[TheSidewalkCipher]

It is Utopian. You can never return to The State of Nature by anything other than an entire societal collapse (which sometimes I think I wouldn't mind...), not that you'd really want to anyway. There were good reasons for the "signing of the Social Contract" they've just been grossly misinterpreted and extended IHMO.

[Clencibert]

Even if Society would totally collapse and State of Nature is reinstated, even then, we wouldn't survive it and even if we would it is very possible that sooner or later we would get Monarchy ("the strongest survives") and then all the shit, all over again...

[TheSidewalkCipher]

Indeed, which is why I said "not that you'd really want it to anyway." When I said that sometimes I wouldn't mind... well, I just get fed up the way things are enough at times that I would be a-okay if something like a zombie apocalypse went down. That's all ;)

[Clencibert]

Well a Zombie apocalypse would be nice every couple thousand years... To get the earth fresh and clean again... ;)

(on the serious side of this topic)

Yes you are totally right it's a total shit-storm going on right now and I would love anarchy...

But I just think that it is some kind of utopia and not attainable with the mind-set of 99.5 percent of the people on the streets...

Or even if we'd get it. People won't like it enough and they'd try to change it...

(just my opinion though)

[TheSidewalkCipher]

Total anarchy is a bad thing. I think there has to be a balance where the individual isn't constrained by the government OR big business and society but also functions in an organized fashion with the rest of the people here. We as a species could not have come as far as we have without working together but at the same time there have been some individuals with major contributions that were held back our interdependence. But enough pseudo intellectual musing, this is a comment section for G.G.

[pbrskater26]

I'm the only one in my family who would know what to do in a zombie apocalypse

[mynameisJG]

i really do love this song. it helped me through some tough times.

[MattAHTatTat]

I was there...great show!

[kjlindgren]

ofc they are anarchists... maybe you have a false view of what anarchy is?

[eddycore84]

Greg Graffin, a real punk hero!

[kjlindgren]

the punk anthem, maybe even the atheism and anarchism anthem.

[pbrskater26]

I dont belive they are anarchist, but they do have a naturlistic and humanistic message to their songs

[Emerson015]

fodasso........bad religion is forever.....

[badreligionateamorte]

foda nao tem o que falar... perfeito... Bad Religion melhores do mundo

[sapinho1974]

sensacional... o que mais se pode falar?? e lá se vão mais de 15 anos que amo o Bad...

[nonameinsert]

Hes really good, paino and singing, but his fingerholding...

[LostPilgram]

why must greg be good at everything?! he can play guitar, sing like no ones business, play piano like a god, write amazing songs, and he is smart as hell!!! wtf greg

[Hupsibasse]

[IronMaiden108]

[megaman02121]

Yeah.. that's weird :s

[haxmya]

This video looks professional, what's it from?

[SanneVonBarku]

"Live at the Palladium", an live DVD. Buy it, enjoy it!

[Eyedunno]

Man, I saw Bad Religion once, on the New America tour at a shitty venue in Detroit (a perfect place for a punk show, but the acoustics were horrible). :(

I have this DVD though, and I wish I'd been there.

[megenthal]

i was at both nights of the palladium. it truly was the greatest experience ever. they were sooooo freaking good. and when greg sat down for cease my jaw dropped cuz thats one of my fave songs of all time.
