GG: No in fact some of them are just too disturbed to be any good in bed. Theyre strictly for show.

I was at Warped I think in '02, in Santa Barbara watching Nofx, and BR was the next band to play but at the other main stage. So I was in the front row when Nofx finished and I was so pumped because Fat Mike is awesome, and I started screaming "Get out of the way, I gotta see BR!" So I started pushing people while I was yelling, and then a bunch of other people joined me in screaming and running to see BR. So then everyone at Nofx crashed into the BR crowd and I single handedly started a riot. It was the greatest show I've ever seen. But it was such anarchy that I probably only saw the band for like 20 seconds, I was to busy getting kicked in the head and trying to catch falling people...it totally ruled!
The first time I saw BR was in feb 1982, they played at Godzillas with the Damned.
They all came out wearing Motorhead shirts and thoroughly ripped their way through their set.I still remember! I was 16 and the bouncer gave me beer!
This guy is the symbol of all that is good and right about Punk rock,
I thought there were no heros in life but GG is proving me wrong.
Lyrics and music living in my brain and ears for more than 11 years. I always picture me when i'm older, handing my 13 years old son or daughter a copy of Against the Grain or No Control and telling him or her: kid, listen carefully, this is Bad Religion.
Thanks Greg and the band for your AWESOME work and thanks SG for the interview.
Mmmm BR was the first punk I ever heard. My brother was playing it when I was 12 and I was instantly in love! It been a long love affair with punk ever since.
I was 10 and the war for independence in Slovenia has just begun, when my friends older brother brought this bootleg tape of suffer from his trip to germany. The quality of the sound was terible but i was hooked. It was something i have never heard before. I was playing it 24/7 and my mom said that they are giving her migrens. I bought my first Bad Religion CD a few years later, Stranger than fiction and other quickly folloved. I was finaly able to read the lirics and even understand some of them. Mom was still giving me a hard time becouse of the music but once I got her to read the lirics... Let's just say that they are her 2nd favorite band (Her favorite band's ABBA). Than in '97 i got a chance to ce them live on Warped tour in Ljubljana. Since than i go to at least one of their shows whenever they come to erope. And now 17 years later... they are the only band that i can listen to constantly and want more, I mean you just can't get sick of them. they are a band i'll be listenin to when i'm old and grey in a wheelchair with a diaper.
