Bad Religion was my uncs favourite band in the world, he even had a bad religion flag over his casket. This song makes me cry and smile simentaneously everytime. If you got someone battling addiction and mental illness, try spending as much time and truly appreciate them, listen to them, talk to them. Engage yourself and invest in them, sometimes the most disturbed minds are brilliant just misunderstood. Rock in Peace Erik❤️
God rest your very awesome uncle.
@@jimfunk785you understood that BR was his favorite band?
Greg Graffin, a real punk hero!
This guy is a genius. I get the feeling he could do every BR song like this if he wanted to.
Brings tears to my eyes every time.
I'm 27 at the moment, been listening to Bad Religion since I was 13. So Greg's voice accompanied me through more than half of my lifetime. Pure magic.
now you are 38
Happy 40th birthday!
it doesn't actually make you cry every time. Don't lie
This brings a couple of tears to my manly eyes...
The Gray Race is a seriously overlooked album. Really good songs/lyrics on that one.
This performance is what made this my favorite song!
Made me cry, there is something about this guy, voice and song...thank you ❤
I do have the American Lesion album (and I love it) but... I really wish Greg would make a whole acoustic album (maybe a 2 CD set even) of classic Bad Religion songs. There would be so many perfect songs for that! "Shades of Truth", "Parallel", "Victory", "Finite", "Streets of America", "Victims of the Revolution", "The Voracious March of Godliness", "Hello Cruel World", "In So Many Ways", "Generator", "The Answer", "Struck a Nerve", ......
+SonataFanatica Agreed, I'd buy all the cd's again done acoustically :-)
Agreed. He should make a whole acoustic album with classic Bad Religion songs as soon as he can.
...or at least an entire The Cheese Race with Richard Cheese.
I guess we all want to hear a full acoustic album. Greg is love, Greg is life.
The last album I bought was No Substance. I thought it was really really bad and I havent bought a Bad Religion album in the last 20 years. But no doubt I love the other ones from the 80s and 90s. All of them. Looking back I find it strange that a 14 year old me was able to realize how bad No Substance was. Even back then I could see how much they sold out.
No matter how many times I hear this song it never loses its power
There isn't anything as an almost 30-year old man that brings me to tears, but this song does. This song shows how versatile Graffin is and everything about it is perfect.
I think The Grey Race is a highly underrated album. It's the first album on which Graffin didn't have Brett's songwriting skills to complement his own. Greg basically wrote the entire album alone (though Baker is credited as co-writer on a few tracks), yet it's incredibly powerful. So glad Brett's back though...best songwriting duo since Lennon/McCartney IMO. I love the fact that this album ends w/ this song..."Everything must...". Perfect.
One of their best I think, at least the best out of those that they released on Atlantic. Stranger Than Fiction was released on that label, but I think that this album is better.
Produced by Ric Ocasek.
10/10 would wife Greg Graffin
BEST LYRICS EVER. and the Voice really brings out the HEART of the song.
Grave memorial, hewn white stone.
Like a comforting caress of a mother or a friend you've always known.
It evokes such pain and significance.
what was oncem is reduced to rememberance and the generations pass without recompense.
I am pretty good in fluent english being portuguese but Gregs lyrics are other a whole new level.
I love how the crowd sings along and stays relatively quiet for the song. A true sign of respect when you can go way out of genre like this and your fans love you for it.
Reminds me of when Mike McColgan(Street Dogs) just starts talking for 15 mins in the middle of a live show. Everyone shuts the fuck up and listens.
Sweet. I fear for the masses that have never even heard of Bad Religion. God rest their souls.
God? Fuck off with that imaginary sky daddy bullshit
I would've given anything in life to change my past and be at this concert at this exact time.
xLevante dude if you lived in LA area or were at least 15 in 2004, then you had no excuse not to be there lol. I lived (and still do) in Orange County and me and my buddy most definitely did go. Want to know the best part? Tickets were normal price because they didn’t make a big deal about recording the two shows at the Paladium...
My roommate is in this video and I’m in the “God’s love” video. Cool fact I was also in the Deadbolt video for Thrice at Chain Reaction (Anaheim Nov 2002). I miss being a kid haha..
It's on their Live at The Palladium dvd
i really do love this song. it helped me through some tough times.
He knows how to play piano too.
wow greg is such an amazing song writer, if you ever actualy take the time to read some of his lyrics, they go over alot of stereotypical "punks" heads, his message and lyrics have an educated and intelligent reasoning behind them.
So weird to me. I googled this song to hear it, and I ended up seeing myself and my wife in the video. We didn't know they were filming until we got there.
that's sick!
That's awesome!
[Verse 1]
Blacktop pavement cover me
Like a chemical reaction or a steam roller spreading randomly
There's a distant buzz at low frequency
It tickles my ear, it rumbles under my feet
And it shakes the leaves off of every tree violently
[Chorus]
What pretension! Everlasting peace
Everything must cease
[Verse 2]
Institution on the Hill
Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor to ignite a people's will
There's a shadowed stain on the west facade
It has spread like decay to enshroud the fraud
And the descendants find it oh, so odd
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Grave memorial, hewn white stone
Like the comforting caress of a mother
Or a friend you've always known
It evokes such pain and significance
What was once is reduced to remembrance
And the generations pass without recompense
Gregg is my fucking role model
For sure, my fuckin hero. Such a badass w out effort
Same here, mate. He taught me that I could be in a punk band and go to university/college too 💜
I love how the lowered volume of the piano allows us to hear the crowd quietly singing along :)
I was Bad Religion so many times! A total blast each time!
This video, I just love.
Greg is just one sexy musician!😊
Greg is a highly intelligent man who used to be a professor and has a Phd, so its no surprise that his music and lyrics appeal to the more intelligent crowd. I have been a fan since I was 14, m 43 now, and I still love BR as much as did back then.
thats make 2 of us mate.
Hehe, so basically, you explain how smart greg is to imply how smart you are...but you're kind enough to include the other fans.
@@winstonsmiththethird7627 If thats what you get out of it, then sure, whatever you want to believe I meant, who really gives a crap
@@ChloesColdEars111 hehe, and as you don't give a crap you still had to answer...
@@winstonsmiththethird7627 damn right, everytime
sensacional... o que mais se pode falar?? e lá se vão mais de 15 anos que amo o Bad...
So fucking good..! I love BR songs on piano....Blown off my seat with salty liquid round THE corner
I prefer this version, it's beautiful and sad at the same time. We'll all end some day, it's just the way it is.
this is absolutely delightful and i’m sad i’ve never heard this version until a few days ago.
This is too good for human ears.
I love this man so much I can't even tell!
I wish i had a Prof like him
i love Bad Religion , I love Greg Graffin.... bad religion forever !!
His voice sends shivers down your spine, the piano touches your emotions, mix all that with the amazing lyrics and this is a tear jerker of a song
i really love to see that musical growing he's lirycs rocks and he has one of the deepest voices in punk rock !but now that i see him on the piano like that i think he is a full musician!!
Fantastic version of a brilliant song!
he is so awesome
For those that care about such things - in the great scheme of things, this is footage of one of the most "punk rock" moments of all time.
Manly Tears
I am in awe of this man.
greg is amazing.
Best Greg Graffin vid ever!
greatest band ever
an awesome version of a great song...
Wow..I had no idea he was doing piano work as well. I've seen some of the BR songs done acoustically but this is amazing. What a talented man.
"Live at the Palladium", an live DVD. Buy it, enjoy it!
to every punk just wasting their lives on drugs and alcohol and calling it rebellious: this is how you flip the finger at the system in style.
Not sure how rebellious it is to be addicted, because then you can't change much. Not to say that every other punk band is made up by junkies, but you get the point.
I luv you, Greg!!
Magnificent!!
Like the comforting caress of your morher of a friend youve always known
Legend.
amazing man, great endeavour
Jooosss
Great song...Graffin is a very intelligent lyricist.
There are many melodic HC bands, but what sets BR apart are the lyrics, the way I see it.
I was there...great show!
this gave me chills
el mejor de los mejores , graffin
Greg says he's a naturalist. I never would have thought to use that term instead of atheist but now I'm a big fan of it.
he is Greg Graffin, he doesn't have to, thats how awesome he is!!!
Awesome!
the Best!
Genio..
Grande GREG!!!!
I LOVE GREG!!!
muito bom pa mim sempre foi o cara m inspiro como vocalista este cara nm sei o que dizer mesmo
I got the chills twice watching this. Holy fuck this is good.
one of the greatest minds in united states history .... just hope i will be as great a warrior as his words are great ... i'll continue my artwork ... maybe my art will awaken others .... but when my art fails to awaken society ... i will lead an army to fight for freedom... once again.... hope for peace ... prepare for war
Legendary
This is fucking awesome!
Greg Graffin is the man!
goosebumps
I absolutely love Bad Religion and when I saw Greg play this song on piano I lost my mind! Such a good song and it fits so well being played on the piano!
Does anyone know where I can download this piano version?!
What Ali-G is trying to say is that this post kicks ass!
brilliant
❤️
Best Band Ever !! They should be called Right Religion !
Monster!!
Such a sad song if you really listen to it
Nice.
GG Forever
klasssssssss!!!!!!!!!!
genius, my influence.
This is what we are
My God!! Is there anything this man can't do? Greg is the Chuck Norris of music!!
This song saved me from suicide.
This has got to be the coolest song live ever. I mean, Generator's good because Greg always messes with the audience XD, but Cease goes from punk to beautiful. Whoo!
@pacheconline so true!! ;)
FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!! HE STILL HAS IT!!!!
Aren't most of Greg's songs developed on piano first? It just seems like it would be natural .
He and Brett do write the majority of BR songs with acoustic guitars
where can i see the complete video?
@perkie2121
I think he does most of his demos on an acoustic guitar.
I hope this song last through the upcoming centuries and beyond and maybe before mankind sees its own end someone, somewhere out there will listen to this and understand that everything must cease!!!!
this guy is fucking awesome.
Stay chill.
Greg, MARRY ME!!!!!!!
@IdleAl I am pretty sure this is how Greg writes his songs, to show them to the band
Does anyone have a version of this on MP3 or CD they can share? I've been looking forever.
get it all, u wont be dissapointed!!! :D
id like this song played at my funeral for some reason...=X
anyone else thinks greg and michael keaton look brotherly ?
Hmm... maybe
