That's a decent cover. One of my favorite songs ever. But he left out the real meaty part. Must have been a pro-life crowd.

@monkeyboltz nope. when he originally did this cover he mistakenly left out that verse and i think the interview i read was because he had it on cassette and the verse was left out of the liner notes. he re-recorded his cover for the BR tribute record with the full song.

[electrickpunk]

[macabros333]

he takes an awful lot of time to tune his guit... but the cover is cool

[disxunion]

not bad but he left out the 3rd verse :(

[antimatter2380]

@disxunion it's one of the best verses too. But I guess cause it's not in the lyrics sheet he can't figure it out.

beautiful cover of one of my favorite Bad Religion songs, this guy may have just made a new fan!

But why does he hold his guitar in such a strange fashion?

@TheSidewalkCipher

The man's a banjo player...so I guess it's what comes natural to him.

@TheSidewalkCipher People who play guitar at their side when sitting down (eg. kurt cobain) are not holding it correctly, because when you stand up it changes position and moves in front of you. As a result you have to readjust your wrist position forcing you to learn two significantly different techniques for playing guitar. In other words if you usually practice while sitting down it's good to make a habit of keeping it in front of you so your technique will transfer easily to standing up.

I've seen this guy play live.

He drinks an astonishing amount during his sets.

I mean, seriously, enough that I think he'd probably have trouble standing and playing.

@Itseasyifyoutry What the fuck does that have to do with the way this guy is holding his guitar? Ever held a banjo? IYou remind me of every cookie-cutter, unimaginative, boring music teacher I've ever heard....
