Recipe For Hate on the way to my first job as a busboy at a fancy restaurant and hating the direction of the world. I listened to that album so many times in my first truck. Good times.
I met them at Sydney airport while I was on my way down to Melbourne to see them, we were on the same plane. Had my photo taken with them and I was wearing my bad religion shirt!
30 Seconds in and I know with two punk and hardcore icons like Jay and Brian this will be great. I ran into Jay a couple of years ago after a show in Hamburg and he was so nice to take his time to take a picture and have a little chat about how Bad Religion would continue (2015 I think, waiting for a follow up for True North). Really cool guy.
I got to see them in concert last July for my first concert ever! It was truly amazing. I will never forget the experience of seeing my favorite band in the flesh before me and all of us in the audience singing in unison to Generator
Bumped into Brian Baker before a show... literally and by mistake, almost knocked drink out of his hand. He shouted something, walked off then came back to apologise. Had a nice chat after that, class act.
Bad Religion is awesome. I like to call them the “Iron Maiden of Punk Rock”. I think they’re just as good as other bands such as Iron Maiden and LOVEBITES. I play bass and like Jay Bentley’s bass playing. He’s so awesome. Brian Baker is a kickass guitar player. His guitar playing on the “Out Of Step” album from Minor Threat is amazing. “Out Of Step” from Minor Threat is a Hardcore Punk masterpiece. Anyways, Bad Religion is dope. The self titled debut EP is great. Albums such as “How Could Hell Be Any Worse?”, “Generator”, “Recipe For Hate”, “The Gray Race”, and “Age Of Unreason” are amazing. Bad Religion is awesome. Other than that, cool:).
My first concert was the Bad Religion with Promise Ring, and the next tour around was with Less Than Jake. Got there super early, meet Jay that day talked to him for at least a half. Both Gregs came by and said Hi at one point. I just remember wondering around outside the venue cause nobody else was there yet and we saw Jay and we're like "Hey... are we even allowed back in this area" and he just said something like he doesn't know or didnt care or whatever, and then me and my friends talked with Jay for a bit. When Hetson came by and said Hi, then went in the building, Jay just kept talking and one of was like don't you need to go too and set up and Jay just stayed and kept hanging out with us. Easily one of the greatest moments in my life, Jay is such a cool dude.
Blasphemy... Not your comment, but the fact that those two bands had the audacity to allow Bad Religion to be the opener. Reminds me of when the Selecter opened for No Doubt. If any of my various bands over the years found ourselves in that position, there's no way we'd take the stage AFTER legends like that. Easy for me to say, I know; I never have been and likely never will be in that position. Regardless, I've gotta say to Blink 182 & Fenix TX (aka River Phoenix): Seriously, guys? Come on, show some respect. I thought you were douchebags before, but damn...
@@haolekoa737 Actually, Fenix TX opened, then BR, then Blink. Granted, BR is one of the all-time great bands, but Blink was by far a bigger name. And they figured "Why not introduce our fans to one of our favorite bands?"
That thing that Brian said about a backwards baseball hat not counting during soundcheck because it's not real life is exactly how I justify wearing pajama pants while I'm at home and people aren't coming over.
Hey - my name is like his name! We're about the same age and I grew up a fan of all of Brian's bands (including Junkyard). I've had people get mad at me on social media for not being "The" Brian Baker, which is hilarious - I wish I was in the bands that he has been in! Anyways, Bad Religion have been a favorite since I heard "How Can Hell..." when it came out. Thanks for the decades of joy, guys!
wish i got to see the From First To Last, Rise Against, Bad Religion tour back in 2004. was such an odd lineup & i was obsessed with FFTL back then. Brian + Jay are the coolest dudes, i could listen to them nerd out all day
I've been to a concert in Bremen, Germany around 2002 and this guy from the crowd made his way up to the stage wanting to stagedive (which wasn't eay with a barrier and security guards). The security guards were pulling him off the stage in quite a rough way when Greg, Jay and Brian jumped to his aid and told the guards to leave him alone and let him stagedive. Apparenty it was like the venue's policy not to have stagediving or anything, but they cared more for their fans than some policy. This video confirms what I thought that night - very nice, likeable, down to earth guys
Get ready Jay I live in Tampa but I couldn't get off from work for the St Pete show BUT I did get off for the day after at the Orlando show and i will be there hours in advance roaming the streets so I can finally meet you my favorite BR member.
First time I saw BR was with Dance Hall and UL at the San Bernardino fair grounds. UL was one of my fav live bands in the 90s. They changed a lot after their self titled album.
My first concert ever was a bad religion show and from first to last opened. I thought then it was a weird line up but there was no way I was gonna miss bad religion. It makes sense now that they said it was a label thing
I was at that Gray Race tour Ft. Lauderdale date and I loved all those bands at the time. Scott Russo from UL was caught smoking weed upstairs and was chased by security just before Bad Religion's set. Jay does not seem too fond of that tour.
I first saw Bad Religion on that tour with Dance Hall Crashers and Unbearable Law. Not only was BR amazing that night, I discovered DHC was the one sole skapunk band of the era that I'd end up really liking. (I actually completely forgot Unwritten Blah was on the bill, since they were one of the most boring acts of the mid 90s, yet they showed up on so many tours)
I remember the bad religion, less thank Jake show! I saw it at, I think the house of blues in Chicago. Anyways, less than Jake played first, and had these massive confetti canons to end the set. Then, bad religion comes on, acting pissed off, because less than Jake stole their confetti bombs. It was obviously a joke because it was like neon color, happy confetti. Then, bad religion comes out in all black, talking about how those bastard stole their confetti, and now how do we end the set?

Bad Religion is constantly my favorite, so there's not much to remember when it's always happening

My first concert ever was in 2000...It was Bad Religion OPENING for Fenix TX and Blink 182. A lot of people left after Bad Religion’s set.
Literally walked out of many of their shows after the good bands like UL played.
All of my favorite Bad Religion memories involve Brian Baker. This video is no exception. Brian is such a gem!
Gregory Soden An incredible gentleman. It was a pleasure and an honor to get to talk with him. We have more Bad Religion coming SOON.

"I'm just up there, the bald guy's yelling, ya know, I don't really know what's happening"
Never change, Brian Baker

I saw that show too. I saw it in Maryland at the Merriweather Post Pavilion.

I could watch these guys talk all day!
The Bad Religion, LTJ, HWM tour was great! Tabernacle in Atlanta. Blew my mind. Had so much fun!!!
I love Jay's comments.

Jay and Brian are hilarious! 😂
Legends
Hey Sonny Moore helped me get my car out of the parking lot in Houston in 2004. Very grateful they had FFTL on that tour! (true story)
Get ready Jay I live in Tampa but I couldn't get off from work for the St Pete show BUT I did get off for the day after at the Orlando show and i will be there hours in advance roaming the streets so I can finally meet you my favorite BR member.
ICONS
Dr Whips Absolutely. Icons AND incredible people to talk with. Two of the nicest, funniest gentlemen you’ll ever come by. Thanks for watching!!
*Bad Religion will always be Bad Religion. Truly a badass band. Thanks for this!* 💯💯
BR, Dance Hall Crashers, and Unwritten Law? I DEFINITELY would have bought a ticket to that show....
Unwritten Law was good. Less Than Jake was awesome. Great guys.
“We’re 40 years-old.” They wish they still were 40.
you literally beat me to that joke by 12 minutes....
If Unwritten Law is a poor mans Pennywise, doesn’t that make Pennywise a poor mans Bad Religion? Love all those bands BTW and DHC!
I’ve heard people refer to Pennywise as “Bad Religion for dummies” before haha. No hate to PW, I love them too.
Less Than Bad Religion all of them : )
I love how bummed he was about that backwards hat
First time I saw BR was with Dance Hall and UL at the San Bernardino fair grounds. UL was one of my fav live bands in the 90s. They changed a lot after their self titled album.
Baker with the feels.
My first concert ever was a bad religion show and from first to last opened. I thought then it was a weird line up but there was no way I was gonna miss bad religion. It makes sense now that they said it was a label thing
Literally wearing a backwards hat right now
Best Description of Unwritten Law ever! haha
I was at that Gray Race tour Ft. Lauderdale date and I loved all those bands at the time. Scott Russo from UL was caught smoking weed upstairs and was chased by security just before Bad Religion's set. Jay does not seem too fond of that tour.
"It's Ian McKaye shoes!" Some fucked up inside joke shit... 😂
Respect!
hell yeah, repeat that tour with HWM and Less than Jake
I first saw Bad Religion on that tour with Dance Hall Crashers and Unbearable Law. Not only was BR amazing that night, I discovered DHC was the one sole skapunk band of the era that I'd end up really liking. (I actually completely forgot Unwritten Blah was on the bill, since they were one of the most boring acts of the mid 90s, yet they showed up on so many tours)
Surf City Blitz 2018! And also It’s Not Dead Fest 2015 😁
Dance hall crashers yaaassssss
I remember the bad religion, less thank Jake show! I saw it at, I think the house of blues in Chicago. Anyways, less than Jake played first, and had these massive confetti canons to end the set. Then, bad religion comes on, acting pissed off, because less than Jake stole their confetti bombs. It was obviously a joke because it was like neon color, happy confetti. Then, bad religion comes out in all black, talking about how those bastard stole their confetti, and now how do we end the set?
cool anecdote - I imagine they had a good time touring together
Aragon Ballroom, 2002. Hot Water Music played first, then LTJ, then BR.
Great show!
The eye of providence
I did see Bad Religion at the Agora. Lol
Jay. I should send you back the army shirts that belongs to greg. The one he’s wearing in the new america video clip. Remember that one ? 😅
Brian Baker = Punk Rock CYE Larry David 🤣
0:44 Crass Hall P... LOL
Unwritten Law were so good back then
I love backwards baseball hats....but to be fair i would never wear a shirt with words(unless it is free) on it....irks me out.
Gotta meet you guys 🤟

Haha they were trying not to make fun of unwritten law
I think he was saying he walked out in the middle of the making into the unknown, not the interview.
Big up ' dance hall crashers " 2024
Unbox.. I am scared.
Describe everything 😅
Best Band Ever.
"9th wave ska"

Jay wants to talk hockey and lean into some realtime licks. eff off media and marketing.
Totally cool they brought a gay dude in the band but I really miss Hetson.

Bald Religion or Dad Religion is the appropriate nomenclature
