Saw BAD RELIGION last night!

Amazing concert...BR concert number 12 .. they were simply AMAZING...Greg mentioned after they tour Australia and Canada they are going to retire... I really hope he was just kidding...after 30 years... this is the kind of news I really don't want to hear :roll:

Thanks Eddie for introducing me to Bad Religion, it was because of YOU that I bought RECIPE FOR HATE and it was because BAD RELIGION is an effin KICK ASS band that I followed them for the next 16 years...and hopefully many many more to come :thumbup:

looks like a kickass setlist

BR are awesome, love most of their albums, had a crummy run after Grey Race until the one with Sorrow, but everything since, inc. last album, have been fantastic

Bad Religion is truly great, although their sets ALWAYS end the same. Imagine if PJ ended every encore with Alive or Jeremy. Well, 21st Century Digital Boy, Sorrow and Infected make me want to leave the moshpit for a pottybreak and yet they're touted as the showstoppers every time!

And though they do mix up their sets a little, with an occasional rare or 'filler' track, they pretty much listen to all the whiney 'fans' who say how great BR is except for their Atlantic releases without Mr. Brett. Too bad "Gray Race, No Substance, New America" are 3 of the strongest albums by any punk band to date, the latter 2 being completely ignored since their respective tours. Sad. They have SOOOOO many songs to choose from, none of them are all that hard to play.... no excuses.

I remember I got totally into Recipe for Hate thanks to my cousin and never looked back. what's funny is my cousin hated PJ and Eddie and i had no idea until years later that Eddie sings the 2nd verse on Watch it Die!

Saw them once, in 2007, it was an awesome experience.

I hope he was kidding about retiring, also. I don't know if I could handle another great band breaking up/retiring.

Funny that seeing as though they hell bad mouthed the promoter after the crap that went down with SW Revolution. Either way hoping to see them and Alter Bridge for melbourne sideshows
