Bad Religion's Jay Bentley, Brooks Wackerman and Brian Baker talk with Graham 'Gruhamed' Hartmann about 'True North,' their personal views on religion + more! More here: loudwire.com
I was blessed (no deity involved) to produce and direct the legendary Bad Religion riot rockumentary of 1990. In that I would ultimately film a riot at the El Portal Theater in No. Hollywood 23 years ago this December 29. The film footage would air on ABC's local and world news tonight. The whole world heard of the Bad Religion riot December 31,1990. The make up show was held at the Hollywood Palladium February 1, 1991. Stage manager Kevin Lyman would drop the big screen and play back the ABC news footage to 3,500 Bad Religion fans. I was greeted by Brett, he put his arm around me and said: "thank you for the publicity" It's put us over the top. A bands dream for world wide publicity is free. Hopefully our band will someday get noticed, at 48 years old I'd say it's time to hear a song of ours, one of these days I say,one of these days. Bad Religion completed a mission of global punk rock relevance that lives on to this day. I'm honored to be part of their history. As a rockumentary filmmaker it's a dream come true; to capture the youth of the band, to capture the music, to capture history. Glad to get to see them still in 2013. I was also born on April 20th.
Am I the only one how thinks it's idiotic to ask band members about the intentions and inspirations of the lyricist who is absent? I mean there's so much you can ask the guys, but you go with these questions, that they need to answer with "I think what Greg wanted to say...". Jesus FUCKING Christ, man!
Finally I see think the same way I do you don't need religion to hava faith, now I admit I am a buddhist but even before I was an atheist and even there I have faith, because faith is about religion or anything else faith reside inside of us and we should embrace that but never try to make someone believe that you way is the right way, for you is right but maybe not for me so yeah they get the real point and I enjoy the anwser,
Oh you're into numbers huh? I wonder how you feel about Ivan Panins study of numbers. The truth of God doesn't come from religion. Religion is distorting the Truth of God. There is an Army, sorry if you don't understand. Not everyone bases their beliefs off religious institutions. Some of us are knee deep in a game of Magic that not everyone is Privy too. However, it's not a damn secret. Love and Blessings
You would think people that have such strong opinions about politics would run for office. Unfortunately, like many other artists in today's day in age, they would rather comment from the sidelines.
BAD RELIGION ARE A PUNK ROCK BAND FOR GODS SAKES!!! NOT A CHURCH , BUT ITS THE IRONY , ITS THE REAL MEANING BEHIND IT ALL THAT MAKES BAD RELIGION SO INTERESTING 😉😇
It doesn't matter which party you affiliate with. What is important is that you have the desire to rebel. Punk doesn't speak on behalf of a political party, punk speaks on behalf of the nonconformists.

Idk Greg makes a pretty good pastor to me 😂
I'm a Republican but a punk. How does that work?
It doesn't, but you're free to believe it does.
So am I. Rock on!
I'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat and I'm a punk, it's just about the music man
^^ True dat//

I don´t like Brooks too much cause he seems badly annoyed by other People who are talkin their Minds...
Don't know why this guy ever was in BR.
You’re an idiot
Idk it seems annoying that dude is just talking about lyrics to the guitarist bassist and drummer
Love the music! Hate the politics. They sound like immature college kids
I also like looking at the pictures in books.
