The audio is actually from the John Peel Sessions 7”. It was a live recording with post-production crap added. That harmony on “ we hit a place to go” was added in, that was graffin singing that lower harmony.
I was 8 years old when this was in MTV. I am 35 now and own every bad religion album on CD, some on vinyl (it's a fun hobby) and listen to them always on spotify when driving. They have been apart of my life for decades. I've got my kids listening and learning their music. What a bad. I will always love their music, their lyrics, their messages.
@@angusdog22 in my opinion suffer to ATG is their hardcore punk peak, but some of their best songmaking abilities are shown in their albums of the 90s.
This song was at its absolute best with Bobby behind the kit and Brett doing backup vocals! Bobby is so precise, powerful and minimalistic, which is exactly what this song needs.
@@jessop- Suffer / No Control / Against The Grain were the best, but yeah Bobby was really cool. ( Bobby did No Substance and New American and they were awful albums .... ok Don't Sell me Short is a Masterpiece but ... )
@@robertphilibou2133 those 3 albums are classics, I got into the band when recipe for hate came out, so generator, recipe, stranger & the gray rece are the ones I listened to most. The less said about no substance & new America the better!
I used to watch this video back in the day in Brazil when I was 13 years old. I aways on the MTV wish that video and other punk rock videos clips poping up. So nostalgic! ❤️

Sr. Graffin, posso fazer uns backings vocais tipo estes coros de igreja nesta música? Graffin responde: sei não, vai ficar raivoso? Banda retorna: vai sim! Graffin então diz: tudo bem, manda bala nos backings.
Almost sounds like the studio version! Such a great singer and great harmony!
Sounds like the uploader just merged the MTV audio into the studio release at 0:07.
he did merge an audio from something else. but its not the studio version.
The audio is actually from the John Peel Sessions 7”. It was a live recording with post-production crap added. That harmony on “ we hit a place to go” was added in, that was graffin singing that lower harmony.
Here’s the actual audio
ruclips.net/video/FnMtKEr0_ic/видео.html
Yeah but his physical performance lacks
This is easily the best live version of the song. I love how loud and clear the back up vocals are during the break down.
This isn't live
@@mottosierra1372 It isn’t studio
The audio I think it is from the peel sessions recording, which is partially live except the vocals, and does not correspond to this tv appearance.
rock am ring 2002 tho 👀🫡
Rock in Rio 2022
The backing vocal is crazy good.
jay+brett back vocs = absolute perfection
Who ever is on drums is my hero
Bobby Schayer
He looks like the kid they only let in the band cus it’s his moms basement they use for practice but he smashes the shit out of them drums.
@@simonhumphries3340 hahaha yeah he DOES look like a kid or Graffin's neighbour or something
My mate the mighty Bobby Schayer
He later became the drum tech for Interpol for a while. I met him at one of their shows, great guy.
There never was, and never will be a punk/punk-rock band as good as Bad Religion.
In class of their own and they still kick fucking ass
Rancid, Nofx
bad brains
@@StoicNature444
Both absolutely terrible compared to BR especially NOFX
Descendants
dead kennedys (original lineup)
why are punk bands so good live ? this is one of the best songs ever,, great performance.
Most important song to come out of 80s/90s Southern California punk.
I was 8 years old when this was in MTV. I am 35 now and own every bad religion album on CD, some on vinyl (it's a fun hobby) and listen to them always on spotify when driving.

i almost thought this wasn't real. How are the vocals so crisp? even the harmonies are literally perfect
Never tought you could get addicted to a video I watched this like 20 times in 2 days
BEST PUNK ROCK BAND I EVER HEARD IN M LIFE.
Best version I've heard.
To me, the "Interface" version, the 30 year anniversary, is the best one
The Interface one is better instrumentally, but this one is much better vocally. Both version rock though!
I prefer that Riviera Theater Version!
That's awesome and before start there's a little heston interview
Wow they sounded good. Greg’s voice is so unique, and soulful.
He totally could've gotten into the grunge scene, he has the perfect voice for that. But he sounds really good in this style too
Corey Taylor :)
This is a band at its peak musically and going for it !
Nah … their peak was 1988 -89. Suffer and No Control IMO
@@angusdog22 in my opinion suffer to ATG is their hardcore punk peak, but some of their best songmaking abilities are shown in their albums of the 90s.
man big sad that i just found this song, but happy to be here for it now
SO POWERFUL.......
ON POINT.....................
AT THERE PRIME...............
WE ALL MISS BOBBY, HETSON, AND MR. BRETT!!!!!!!
BAD RELIGION
I remember watching this with my dad in 3rd grade. Been hooked ever since!
Young Greg Graffin looks like old Greg Graffins best student
I knew that. Greg is the master of psychology. Can't argue facts.
Best performance I ever saw on MTV.
The vocals are so on point!🤘
probably the best punk rock band to ever exist!
this song changed my life, years ago.
thx
This song is so nice to listen to. Such a tuneful song! So catchy chorus to sing along with the song.
OMG this Backing Vocals!!!!! :O perfect
Best band ever!
This song was at its absolute best with Bobby behind the kit and Brett doing backup vocals! Bobby is so precise, powerful and minimalistic, which is exactly what this song needs.
He did have that signature sound to his kick snare double kick pattern. Just doesn't sound like anyone else's and I can't explain why.
Settle down you Barnacle
Harmonies are insane !!!
ONE NATION
UNDER GOD
Harmonies are fucking amazing
A pivotal song and pivotal band in the annals of music history.
So Jay and Brett really CAN sing great, just every so often it seems! Fantastic performance by everyone.
Is that a green day t-shirt from kerplunk? The guitarist wears that!
It is yeah! Crazy to think that kerplunk was their most recent album when this video was made.
@@Jonathan-be5eo in fact, that's incredible!
I think he is wiring a Green day T.shert. I don't ever see that again. Because Billie joe like to shit on other article's 😠🤬
They were on tour with Green Day and Seaweed opening. Jay Bentley is wearing a Seaweed shirt here, too.
Whaaaat i haven't realized that until i saw your comment
Perfect backing vocals Holly shit. Just perfect
Wtf are these godlike backing vocals? Sounds surreal.
Great song! Excelent performance!
Always great to see Mr. Brett live.
I must have quit watching mtv after the 80's cause I was a huge BR fan by 93' and I'm pretty certain I never saw this.
Miss you Bobby...Greg Hetson... an Mr Brett.... best lineup ever
Agreed. I just saw them again and wanted Greg and Brett there so bad.
Did they quit?
live they sound just like if you played the cd. fantastic!
Bobby was indeed one of the best drummers for BR, cool dude too!!
Tight sound!!
Their best drummer for sure, I like all their albums, but the Bobby era was the best.
@@jessop- Suffer / No Control / Against The Grain were the best, but yeah Bobby was really cool. ( Bobby did No Substance and New American and they were awful albums .... ok Don't Sell me Short is a Masterpiece but ... )
@@robertphilibou2133 those 3 albums are classics, I got into the band when recipe for hate came out, so generator, recipe, stranger & the gray rece are the ones I listened to most.
The less said about no substance & new America the better!
I love the fade in on the guitar mastering. A plus
This is a really good live recording
Turns out they where right they have the American Jesus right on bass.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I never would've imagined that Jesus is 6'5".
I used to watch this video back in the day in Brazil when I was 13 years old. I aways on the MTV wish that video and other punk rock videos clips poping up. So nostalgic! ❤️
Only the best punk rock band
Bad Religion or Dead Kennedys?

Lyrics of the song 👇👇👇👇👇👇
I don't need to be a global citizen
Because I'm blessed by nationality
I'm member of a growing populace
We enforce our popularity
There are things that seem to pull us under
And there are things that drag us down
But there's a power and a vital presence
That's lurking all around
We've got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate
We've got the American Jesus
He helped build the president's estate
I feel sorry for the earth's population
'Cause so few live in the U.S.A.
At least the foreigners can copy our morality
They can visit but they cannot stay
Only precious few can garner the prosperity
It makes us walk with renewed confidence
We've got a place to go when we die
And the architect resides right here
We've got the American Jesus
Fostering their shame on faith
We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day
He's the farmers barren fields
The force the army wields
The expression in the faces of the starving millions
The power of the man he's the fuel that drives the clan
He's the motive and conscience of the murderer
He's the preacher on t.v., the false sincerity
The form letter that's written by the big computers
The nuclear bombs and the kids with no moms
And I'm fearful that he's inside me
We've got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate
We've got the American Jesus
Exercising his authority
We've got the American Jesus
Fostering their shame on faith
We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day, eah
One nation, under god. One nation, under god. One nation, under god.
One nation, under god. One nation, under god. One nation, under god.
One nation, under god. One nation, under god. One nation, under god.
One nation, under god. One nation, under god.
ボビーシェイヤーさんのドラムが素敵過ぎだわー
He has such a great voice!
Back when mtv was cool
Greg Graffin at its best for sure!
Best version of the song!!!
1993 is a insane year
Jesus!! That’s a live performance. Awesome bad!
backing vocals sound so great here
Best punk band ever
I think they sounded really raw even for them, on purpose. Representing punk to the fullest always. Rad.
What a band!
1:52 Geeez!!!
This is the Bad Religion I grew up with and fell in love with, but at this point, it’s odd seeing only 5 people on stage and Bobby on drums.
awesome version
Pensa numa banda séria! 🥰👏🏽
Amo!
I love this performance, mostly the drummer style.
Can't count how many times seeing BR in SoCal days. Iguana's in TJ was a crazy gig right around '90 or 91.
Fantastic!👌🙂❤
Brasil 2024
Great singing
Brilliant!
Thank you for posting this 👍👍
30 years in and still accurate as fuck! Damn I wish the 90's would never had ended 😢😢
Best harmonies ever!!
Saw this the night it aired. Just as relevant now, if not more so.
Almost three decades (!) later this is still the unsurpassed summit of the history of nationalism.
Amazing singer
I feel like Jason Sudekis could play Greg in their BioPic lol 🤩🤩😘
Bad Religion f*cking rocked!!! 🤘
The Beatles of Punk rock.
Meu deus bad religion excellente ♥️🤩🙃😀👍😍
Damn near 30 years ago wow
hey!mr brett was there man!awesome✌️✌️✌️
amazing liek always
best
Exercising his autoratha
Who's the little guy killing it on the guitar? He always wears a Dangerhouse t-shirt and he's such a badass.
ruclips.net/video/_nxGFhtU9nk/видео.html
That’s Greg Hetson from the circle jerks
I think that’s Greg Hetson
@@aidanclark9616 Yeah you're right thanks
Bad Religion always sound tight live. Except Lucky Lehrer falls out of time a few times, unless it's the copy?
Guitars & backing vocals sound huge here! I think it's the studio version but in a different mix. Not the MTV live perfomance,for sure.
Maybe consider reading the description?
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
And I'm fearful that He's inside me.
@@playonweirds now that’s a play on weirds
Are those harmonies pre-recorded? Almost sounds too good. Sounds like more than three singers. Pretty amazing though.
This song takes a huge dump on american nationalism and no one seems to notice, amazing
Sr. Graffin, posso fazer uns backings vocais tipo estes coros de igreja nesta música? Graffin responde: sei não, vai ficar raivoso? Banda retorna: vai sim! Graffin então diz: tudo bem, manda bala nos backings.
Bobby was the best drummer in br
No worries guys! Every municipality has their own Mafia! .. i love Bad Religion 💘
ThIs is just a punk rock song too. Be who we are.
Gordon Freeman on guitar
Truly live music, including bob fucking up the tempo...
1:03 someone sped up the tape, or it's Bobby playing tricks again.
I love BR in 2024
Greg Hetson looks so cute in this video. Get it!
How did you do this? It sounds so much improved from original...
better than studio imo
Крутость зашкаливает
