Bad Religion - Ad Hominem (Album Version)

[Terremides]

would anyone care to explain thelyrics please?

[firstadamswife]

@steveyahu Aw, what a sophistry! In the song we find the phrase "I am" just in order to rhyme with "Ad Hominem", the figure of speech that's an attempt to negate the truth of a claim by pointing out a negative characteristic of the person supporting it.

[Cr1mSiR]

@TheDorks1000 ad hominem is one of the logical fallacies of relevance, its where you attack a person's character instead of making a valid argument.

[abdallex]

@Cr1mSiR actually, this helped me understand the meaning of the song even more!

[Cr1mSiR]

Saw this in my logic class

[MrFight2keep]

reminds me a lot of watch it die

[eatmeimsteak]

fuck am i the only that thinks this sounds like pocket full of sunshine? still love this song though.

[aaaaaaaaa7777]

@eatmeimsteak Yea, you're pretty much the only one who thinks this song sounds like Pocket Full of Sunshine

[chillyrooster]

BARRACK OBAMA WAS THE ONLY DISLIKE

[undertakerfreak1127]

Best song on the album.

[AZJamie1]

@TheDorks1000 An ad hominem is a personal attack in an argument. For example, making fun of someone's sexuality in an argument about politics. It happens all the time.

out of 5000 views...I am at least half of them....haha

[arrowaine]

One of the best album I listened in the last 10 yrs

[Mr5Timez]

listen to all the songs on no control. pretty much all the same riff. who gives a shit. its punk music.

[FollowTheProject]

@TheDorks1000 Consult our good friend wikipedia! That's what I did after hearing this song for the first time.

[cfredrics]

Leave it to Bad Religion to make rap rock great!

[clandry210]

Greg does it again. Thanks you fucking kick ass mother fucker

[alpinestarman1]

This Cd is different but I love it. his voice is amazing with very wise lyrics!

[chillyrooster]

I LIKE THIS ONE ALOT

[FollowTheProject]

But now it's time, to watch it die!

I love the song, the stolen riff ruins it a little though! Brilliant album, thanks a lot BR for providing us with more fresh music, even after 30 years.

[2323jgrant]

@FollowTheProject stolen? from what

[FollowTheProject]

@2323jgrant Listen to Bad Religion's 'Watch it Die', and listen carefully to the riff.

[2323jgrant]

@FollowTheProject so....you are accusing bad religion of stealing...FROM THEMSELVES? ROFL. its their music they can do what the fuck they want with it. if you have to apples. and you steal of of those apples from yourself. you still have two apples.

[FollowTheProject]

@2323jgrant They have already sold this riff to me when I paid money for Recipe for Hate. They have repeated it in Dissent of Man, and thus I have paid for it again.

Whilst it's not stealing technically, it's still not right.

[Axl523]

@FollowTheProject Fine then: Grow the hell up. Don't buy the album. Don't complain.

Problem Solved.

[FollowTheProject]

@Axl523 Grow the hell up? How ironic that you should use an ad hominem on a video called: 'Ad Hominem'.

Whilst when I purchased this album, I didn't know they'd be repeating the same riff (how was I to know before purchase?) that wouldn't have deterred me anyway. I enjoy this song and the album, however I feel they could have been a little more original when writing the riff to this track.

[MrRoboto81]

This sounds like it belongs on No Substance. Still though, one of my favorites on the new album.

[thisisfun815]

Bad Religion has just a awesome feel from this album, this punk lyrics but not quite punk singing, this just harmonic thing that is just amazing

[Bungievan]

@thisisfun815 Thanks for your comment finally something so positive in the comments about the new album :D cuz is just rocks!!!

[MacorettaBoozer]

@thisisfun815 hey thats what graffins all about baby. all because its punk rock doesnt mean they gotta sing like johnny rotten

[themurderofcoke]

@thisisfun815 Not punk singing? Can YOU define punk? No. You can't. Punk is what you make it.

[firstadamswife]

@themurderofcoke Well, I love BR but if you say "Punk is what you make it" then Michael Bublé is Punk... lol! ,-) Let's say that BR music is not "traditional Punk style", but this is a good thing, because they made a new, original kind of Punk style.

[dirtydon666]

I was born on planet Earth, the rotating ball where man comes first... oops.... I mean, awesome! Seriously, the distorted intro to this song is fucking sick! I love it.

[timotheophany]

@dirtydon666 this comment is from me, actually - my friend needs to log out when he uses my computer!

[holden2381]

Good song.
