This is really one of the BEST versions of this song I've heard ever. The beginning with just is voice is phenominal. Greg Graffin has one of the most perfect voices in the music industry.
Yea man, they basically invented “ medoldollic punk rock” sorry for the spelling, they are legends, no one was singing with harmony back then, just sex pistols shit
Métete en la cabeza de tus amigos, culo se le llama a la suerte usa, mala religión aburren pero es un buen aburrimiento cuando no pasa nada más que el respeto de alguien y muchos que aquí en Sud América le damos un ladrillo en lo que es unn rascacielo...ohhuuyeaaa el mundo se está llendo al carajo y dar palo no es lo tuyo es más la música es una mierda que vale la pena escuchar si los mismos músicos n0 fueran tan estúpidos...tengo 40 y soy de libra...puto Internet mató todo, yo lo único que digo es que mientras yo y vos escribimos boludeces y preguntamos otros no saben cuando les va a caer una bomba arriba...ojala que el planeta sea de las hormigas y se estén cagando de risa de todos nosotros en este momento y siempre. Ahh si me drogo y eso no aporta nada..chupala yo no maté a nadie pero si defraude y odio los perros ladrar a las 4 am.
@@123Shado321 Lmao, it was awesome. They played a bunch of favorites, a lot from No Control. Great energy. It was the 20th anniversary of Stranger than Fiction so they played the title track, which is one of my favorites. Haven't seen em since, but i'd like to.
That intro is perfect. This is still my go to video when I want to hear Generator live, even after 5 years. Even if it's just for the first 90 seconds of the video. Hahaha.
This version gives me the absolute chills. Everything is perfect, Graffin's voice, Bobby's drumming, Hetson's tshirt. I was sad for the loss of Mr Brett at the time but 96-98 was bad religion at their absolute peak!!! They should've been the biggest band on the planet!
I saw them on that tour as well. Vancouver 86 st music hall. Green day had released Dookie but hadnt become huge yet. Seaweed from Tacoma opened. When they played generator that night is a memory that will live with me forever. The song always gives me chills..
Supposedly, Greg was tired of waiting for the band to be ready, so he started singing the song acapella. When the band was ready, they kicked in. Whatever happened... amazing version, somehow even better than the studio version.
Seeing them play this version live was (for me) the equivalent of seeing Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner live at Woodstock. It felt like a once in a lifetime thing. So cool to experience.
Just proves how great they are, that not only can they recreate the ferocity of their studio records live on stage, but they even have the ability to surpass what they committed to record! I LOVE this version of Generator, especially the intro where the boys leave Greg to sing acapella at the spur of the moment.. and when the guitar kicks back in he says "there it is!" I just love it! So spontaneous, they were ALL on fire that day in 96! :) Lucky people in the audience! Respect from life-long Bad Religion fan Davey in Ireland.. (My only complaint is that the video is cut short before the song ends)
Actually not, the song cut right in that moment, and jumps to another, you can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/kFiqjUODZcw/видео.html 👆 the full concert video
Saw them in Orlando the same year. The best concert I have ever attended. Ever. Graffin was this good from beginning to end, and he pretty much sang their entire catalogue.
God, I have a man crush, seriously! I played this intro at least 20 times, and I can't get enough of it.. Greg's amazing, that energy and emotion is simply incredible
Sounds like beer, Skateboards, hot concrete and bloody knees. Sounds like childhood, first partys, first girlfriend. Sounds like old friendhips, carelessness. And now, decades away, my children are hearing it. Sounds like pride? Yes. Greets from Germany 🤟
This is proof that Greg and the boys are true artists!!! Between their lyrics, the music, and his amazing voice...and NONE of it is produced in a studio by a bunch of machines...they have talent and make music what it should be!!!
He is one the reasons why i stopped listening to Bad Religion in the 90's. I think he is worst drummer Bad Religon ever had and he for sure is the slowest.
@@matthewcurry5792 yeah I’ve seen that pretty good. Would be excellent if a bad religion album with loads acoustic on like what Rise Against did with there’s

I have been watching this upload for 17 years now; thank you.
Same. I come back to it a few times a year. This was probably the peak of Graffin's live vocal power
this live version is just a masterpiece
I agree. The slow buildup is so great
Raphael Nether TOTALLY AGREE!!!
Man, i've heard this version live last week in São Paulo. Totaly awesome, i have no description to this.
Absolutely!
Just... Do it
After all this time, I still return to this as a "magic moment" in music history. Simply perfect intro.
Agreed. I watch this at least once a week.
Yup.
I am also always returning to this specific one..
Yup. I just keep coming back.
@@girlcalledxkill i always wonder what happened to the end
Oh yeah! Oooohh yeaaah!
Greg's voice is like wine, gets better with age

Dude I know. Bad Religion is the best religion
@@sloman16This band is well educated. Have you heard 'Against the Grain' Entropy ' Flat earth society ' blender head'
Best intro to a song ever. This song does something to me.
Makes Me Think About The World

Agreed! Loved this song for many years and now after seeing this, even more 🤘
Me too,I always go to this for my fix👍👍❤
Gives me the chills every time.
his voice live is just as good as the albums!
Better Tbh, that's why he's just amazing
@@JJ27498 Where was the concert? I'm from Europe and I hope I'll see them in June in Milan, Italy
better...
"There's an ugly laughing man"
Greg giving me a shout out on the song.
But you're so beautiful to me
Isn't it on the Tested version that he's pointing at one of the guys and get's a quick "He's standing right beside me" in?
@@agp11001 indeed, he said /sang that in couple of live shows ....making me burst in laughter :)
@@dingdong1822 going away to college?
@@dewantarazlatan761 Yes :)
My favorite version of Generator. I love when they start slow! Gonna see them in about a week, so pumped!
Just seen them my 1st time this spring they are amazing and so precise...have a great time
Hope you have a good time!!

Sexiest voice on the planet... mind as well... sigh. 35 years later and he still makes my heart pound with that voice.
Michele Powell :)
И ам страигхт !
Greg is sexy as fuckk. Be still my heart!
yes
Sivert Hoyem
His voice is.. like a rock, like a planet, like a fucking atombomb..
It doesn't get more classic than Bad Religion playing "Generator" live.. Time makes it just better.
Here in May 2020, still watching this 240p video uploaded in 2007
December 3rd 2020 and still 🤘🍺
March 2021 and I've just found this for myself, and I can't believe the only Bad Religion song I've known until now was "Social Suicide".
This is by far the best live version of this masterpiece
Thumbs up if you want Greg for president of the world...
With a quick blink of the eye
@@tomwilson9601 kĺllĺĺmm
Best idea of the 21st century! Am I right, my digital boys and girls?
Amen!
I come here 1 time a week, to see this video, for more than 2 years.... I love it.
This make me happy and cry at same time.
That intro is perfect. This is still my go to video when I want to hear Generator live, even after 5 years. Even if it's just for the first 90 seconds of the video. Hahaha.
I’ve heard this so many times my dad wouldn’t stop
Playing it growing up
This version gives me the absolute chills. Everything is perfect, Graffin's voice, Bobby's drumming, Hetson's tshirt. I was sad for the loss of Mr Brett at the time but 96-98 was bad religion at their absolute peak!!! They should've been the biggest band on the planet!
I’ve been watching this for over 10 years and it’s the best performance of this song. Never gets old
It's unbelivable how this mans voice is almost the same in studio versions and live... You gotta freaking love BR!
I like more his live versions
Best band ever!
unbiased opinion
I will never get tired of that intro, never!
Mr. Graffin.......... what a voice. amazing.
Goosebumps. Greg absolutely smashed this
29 anos, a 15 escutando isso. E ainda faz sentindo na minha cabeça.
Só tenho pena das próximas gerações
Relaxa, minha geração não ta 100% perdida, ainda temos salvação
Forgot about this for years. Stoked it popped in my head again. I crank that intro every time
His voice....Completely amazing. Bad Religion hands down best punk band.
I agree 100%. Best. Band. Ever.
I just saw them in San Diego- they are just as rowdy as ever- fucking KILLED IT.
Nofx and descendents say hello ;)
This is my favourite! When I was a soldier, in 1992, this gave strength to me to endure! Respect from Hungary!
I saw them in 1993. Green Day opened for them. So amazing.
I saw them on that tour as well. Vancouver 86 st music hall. Green day had released Dookie but hadnt become huge yet. Seaweed from Tacoma opened. When they played generator that night is a memory that will live with me forever. The song always gives me chills..
0:38 "LIKE A TWIX BEFORE A DIET" there, I can't unhear it and now you can't either lol. Join me in singing it this way forever
Oh fucking cheers haha!
this is REAL punk rock
They've been singing for a long time and still awesome. They'll always be one of the best especially live
Supposedly, Greg was tired of waiting for the band to be ready, so he started singing the song acapella. When the band was ready, they kicked in. Whatever happened... amazing version, somehow even better than the studio version.
Greg is a genius. Geniuses are often not too patient. 😅🤣 But damn, what a rendition it made for.
When he says "I've seen it all along" you can tell it's 100% truth ❤️
Tony Soprano looks so fresh here
No... That’s modern social distortion
Hahaqahahaa dude I was going to say exactly the same , Greg had some similarity with James Gandolfini
Seeing them play this version live was (for me) the equivalent of seeing Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner live at Woodstock. It felt like a once in a lifetime thing. So cool to experience.
Coming back to this all these years later is still truly amazing
Just proves how great they are, that not only can they recreate the ferocity of their studio records live on stage, but they even have the ability to surpass what they committed to record!

David Hughes also with having Brian live who replaced brett. Having another guitarist who didn’t write it and do this is amazing too.
Actually not, the song cut right in that moment, and jumps to another, you can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/kFiqjUODZcw/видео.html
👆 the full concert video
I wish this song had a full version with them playing it in the style of the intro.
Saw them in Orlando the same year. The best concert I have ever attended. Ever. Graffin was this good from beginning to end, and he pretty much sang their entire catalogue.
You would have been there for hours on end, but I get what you mean.
I love this video/performance! Its epic.....kicks ass. It never gets old
On ne s'en lasse pas, toujours aussi extraordinaire.
Best live version of Generator ever!!!
still give me goosebumps after still listenin their music for about 6 years now..
love them !
Muito top!... Ouço uma vez por dia!
Perfection👌 I really like this performance
Absolutely epic; love the intro vocals.
this is the best festival version of generator ever!
Uwielbiam ten kawałek. Tyle lat minęło od kiedy go usłyszałam w 96' i nadal jest dla mnie jednym z najlepszych utworów ever.
In 2021, I am taking voice lessons after 40 years of living. The voice teacher asked me to choose a song to learn. I chose this one.
My favorite live version of this song.
The only band that consistently makes great songs
One of my all time favorite singers.
From intro to outtro.. this jam is perfect. Iconic performance.
God, I have a man crush, seriously! I played this intro at least 20 times, and I can't get enough of it.. Greg's amazing, that energy and emotion is simply incredible
Sounds like beer, Skateboards, hot concrete and bloody knees. Sounds like childhood, first partys, first girlfriend. Sounds like old friendhips, carelessness.
And now, decades away, my children are hearing it. Sounds like pride? Yes.
Greets from Germany 🤟
Dziś jutro zawsze słuchać was będę.
It's always a great song, studio or live, seen them so many times, ❤ them
I absolutely adore the slow intro. Excellent singing by Greg as usual.
I saw you yesterday here in Barcelona and it's like the good wine, it improves with time
,
Try German punkrock is it a littel bite harder??? if you like.
Amazing voice and musicians! Holy shit, still impressed, 20 years later 💓🎸🎶🙌🏼
Love! Best version ever!
Cadê os brasileiros curtindo esse punk rock maravilhoso.
Brazil
Salve irmao, bad é absurdo
For some reason I love finding great songs uploaded during the first three years of RUclips ;)
ha. me tooo
I get chills every time I listen to this version
melhor versão dessa música, uma verdadeira obra de arte!
Better than studio version! Wow 🤟🏼💀 Holy shit 🇧🇷 come to Brasil again 🙏🏼
que temon tantos recuerdo con amigo ya no estan en esta vida !!!!!!
Happy to say that I saw them yesterday!
hat mich durch so viele zeiten schon gerettet... nach 15 jahren immer noch, extrem schöm
I had never really heard them until now and I really love his voice... I found them through Rise Against and my best friend who loves them both. :)
I love how the band stops playing and Greg keeps singing it really shows just how great of a singer he really is .
This is my teenage years right here! Love it
RESPECT FROM BRAZIL! bands like that is what Brazil needs!
they sound so good live!
Love love love this song
commenting in hopes someone has a non-glitchy version of this live performance. whether audio or audio & video. thank you!
Thank you so much! I remember running to the water board in hand getting out of the truck just getting barreled . So stoked your here
I love this song. Very poignant.
This is proof that Greg and the boys are true artists!!! Between their lyrics, the music, and his amazing voice...and NONE of it is produced in a studio by a bunch of machines...they have talent and make music what it should be!!!
This is the version of Bad Religion I was introduced to in middle school, classic!
anytime I listen to this song I fall back into the 90s 🤟 still in my top 5 !!! 😎
F***ing lucky f***ing guys who were that that night!!! This is just the most amazing generator version i've ever seen !!!
That drummer is king
+jarullar Yes, he is.
Yes
That would be Bobby
Until you've seen Bill Stevenson play
He is one the reasons why i stopped listening to Bad Religion in the 90's. I think he is worst drummer Bad Religon ever had and he for sure is the slowest.
I saw BR twice, about 15 years apart. Their sound and stage presence was excellent both times. As great a live band as they are in studio.
One of my alltime favourites for17 years now!
This is the greatest version there ever was!!
Those vocals at the beginning are brilliant, wish they would make a acoustic album
Greg Graffin has an acoustic album that is pretty sick!
New map to Hell
@@matthewcurry5792 yeah I’ve seen that pretty good. Would be excellent if a bad religion album with loads acoustic on like what Rise Against did with there’s
Ew. No.
Gracias. Me hacen llorar como un niño.
I really love this song...so many memories.
I will watch this video once a week till my last day
Chile 🇨🇱 2019
Banda top. Escuto todos os dias.
What a great intro! Love you guys long time
3:23 still the best drum fill to date
That's is fantastic!
TnC bons tempo do punk! top a musica! q pena q hj nao tem bandas boas assim =|
So glad they still do this rendition live, it was a treat to listen to when they came to Denver this year.
same in Grand Rapids last night, I heard that little riff in the beginning and immediately knew
Great performance. Love the intro
