Pennywise - Bro Hymn (dedicated to Mike Chapman) - The REJECTED

The REJECTED dedicate this video to a dear friend and musician Micheal Andrew Chapman. Aug.9/71-July12/07. Rest in Peace.

"Bro Hymn" is a song by American punk rock band Pennywise. It is the last track on both their 1991 self-titled debut album, and 1997's Full Circle as "Bro Hymn Tribute". Its lyrics are about the death of three of late bassist Jason Thirsk's friends, Tim Colvin, Carlos Canton, and Tom Nichols, who died in a car accident. At the end of the song, you can hear someone say "Brett, we love ya"; some fans of the band think that they are referring to Brett Gurewitz, the guitarist of Bad Religion and founder of Pennywise's label Epitaph Records.

In 1996, following death of Thirsk, "Bro Hymn" was recorded again for their fourth album Full Circle as "Bro Hymn Tribute", which is dedicated to him. On this version, one the lines from the original, "Canton, Colvin, Nichols, this one's for you", is replaced with "Jason Matthew Thirsk, this one's for you". This version of "Bro Hymn" was not a hit song on the charts, but today receives substantial radio play.

"Bro Hymn" remains the anthem for many sports teams and college drinking groups around the world:
