'The Generator' is a metaphor for God. Brett: "The vibe that I'm trying to give is like, if you've ever been in a room and the air conditioner's humming. You don't notice it, of course, because it's a constant hum. Then it turns off and you suddenly notice how quiet it is because it went away. That's the generator; it's just behind everything. It's funny, God and spirituality has been the central conflict of my entire life."[1]
"It's a song about my concept of god (...) the hammer, window, knife etc. are prose and I don't feel it's appropriate to give you my personal intention, although like any art there is a definite 'meaning' I'm trying to convey. If Generator makes you feel something when you listen to it real loud than chances are you understand it just fine."
Brett on using a quote from Stephen Hawking in the lyric booklet for Generator: "Generator (the song) is kind of about man's duality, namely his spiritual and material sides. And Stephen Hawking...it seems to me that the role of physics today is almost the role of religion in days gone by, in terms of when they're looking at the beginning of the universe, they're almost trying to explain or discover the mind of God."[2]
Brett: "It's about the ineffability of existence."

"Generator" is a top 10 Bad Religion song all time. This song is brilliant and I guarantee that the more you listen to it the higher your score will go up.
I can already confirm this to be true! Lol -Joel
Fertile Crescent please when you have the time react on that. From the Generator album.
I just love the power this song has. It gives such a punch! Thanks for the reaction!
I love how Chuck sits through the first 1/4ish of the song like a fucking rock until the musical breakdown and then just kind of reacts with a "what the fuck just happened there?"
Chuck gets the brain cell today! You could just see the brain cell kick in!
🤣🤣🤣
My favorite song by BR
yea, mine too
This is my favourite Bad Religion song and it's also one of my top 10 favourite songs of all time.
Although the original is best, the band mixes the song differently on stage and add some rock.progression. There's also an incredible acoustic version as well. This is such a versatile song that can be covered and redone in so many different ways. It's almost a perfect song.
I feel like you guys would be interested in knowing Greg Graffin (Lead Singer) put out a solo Country Album in 2017.
Great album !! The next to one on the album too Much to ask and no direction are.pure gold
Please check out the song American Jesus before you continue with the rest of the discography!
This whole album was so brilliant. Next to the subsequent (& weird but still good) Recipe for Hate, this album was borderline thrashing, in a good way. But this album did feature more midtempo songs. Atomic Garden is another amazing BR changeup.
Hell yeah, Bois! That was great!
Also, you have 7 months to make it to their Christmas Album by December. Their version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" has become a staple on my Holiday Playlist.
We'll just hit it in December, no matter where we're at in the progression of their discography! :) -Joel
song is from 1991
LOve BR
Into the Unknown is a trip. A lot BR fans hate it, but I think there a some really good songs, just different. Billy Gnosis is probably the best imo.
They're gonna hate it. Not everyone is a hardcore BR fan like we are 😂
@@dustinwroten353 To be honest, I think not being a BR fan can be a good thing when it comes to reacting to Into the Unknown. You're not necessarily into punk, so you're more open to other genres.
We're definitely super curious about Into the Unknown! I think we'll end up doing it eventually, for sure.-Joel
Chasing the wild goose is such a great song on that album as well. Very tragic, but I love it so much.
Great song, but they have a live version that is absolutely amazing. Search generator bad religion on TH-cam and it should pop up near the top, as it has over 7 million views. Not requesting a reaction, just saying you should check it out.
I think I know exactly the video you're talking about. Is it the one where they start the intro, then stop, but Greg just keeps singing solo (and perfectly) until the band jumps back in? If so, I absolutely love it!

@@tim.kaiser_aka_timmaay yep, that’s it
@@gpro22sweet! I love it! I do think that Brian was just fucking around a little between songs and was getting ready to jump into Parallel, Greg just fucked up and jumped into Generator and somehow the band just jumped in with the right chords and perfection was created. That's what I like to believe, anyhow! A perfect "the show must go on" moment.
Woah. Great suggestion. Loved that intro, with Greg singing solo! 🤘🤯 -Joel
They starts There shows with this song very often . Saw Them at least 10 Times , and from video of the current tour That i saw on TH-cam they starts with generator again
And by the way , sorry if my english is not perfect lol but you seem to understand what i Said loll
Generator is about the hum and the buzz and the energy you feel everyday in the background that Brett and Greg feel May be God. They said this in some video interviews. My favorite lyric is the beginning. Like a rock, like a planet, like an effin atom bomb
80-85 is the first album
80-85 is a compilation album that includes their 1980 self titled debut EP, their debut album How Can Hell Be Any Worse? and the 1985 EP Back to the Known.
"wash me clean and I will run until I reach the shore" Baptism and heaven.
I consider myself smart and well educated and even I don’t understand their songs. I still love them. I’ve seen them twice. It’s just you have to listen to songs multiple times and keep on trying to interpret them to better understand them. I also do what you did, just read about it.
i always wanted to understand skyscraper right. it could be about bin laden, and his first try to tear down wtc. or about putin, tryin to tear down ukraine "like the spoiled little guys, who aren't allowed to come out and play, they had their revenge" ...
@@andrealbrecht5746 god bruh
@@andrealbrecht5746 it is about the Tower of Babel. Spoiled little babies is referring to the god who got his revenge by tearing down the tower.
