Co-written by founding members Brett Gurewitz and Greg Graffin, "Honest Goodbye" is inspired by the life and crimes of Perry Smith, the murderer made famous by Truman Capote's classic novel "In Cold Blood." "The song questions how a man with seemingly gentle and artistic sensibilities comes to commit brutally heinous crimes," explains Gurewitz. "It's an emotional song to me that delves into the humanity of forgiveness and retribution."
Currently in rotation on the world famous KROQ, "Honest Goodbye" is replete with the classic Bad Religion sound fans have come to love over the years. Featuring poignant lyrics, crisp harmonies, rhythm-rocking riffs and thick crunchy bass, "Honest Goodbye" adds a dash of edgy anthemic pop to New Maps of Hell's aggressive sound.
New Maps of Hell is set for release on July 10, but fan's can download the new single beginning June 12th and hear it live this summer when Bad Religion hits the road with the 2007 Warped Tour.

That comic kills me. But I like the one with the dictionaries even more.

"btw, Jay, your thoughts on this comic?"
it's kinda funny, and can be taken in so many ways! |

Perry Smith and Honest Goodbye are both terrible!

I just read a biography kind of thing about Perry Smith, and I find myself now having some sort of a sympathy for the person.. what a sad persuit of life he had. I think I'll grab the book today at the library.

How about the band playing for retired people and at the end, we read outside that it's a home for the deaf, blind and dumb . gehehhe, yeah, that will totally capture the spirit of the song. |

Hey jay what do you think about my video idea?
I'm guessing it's gonna take place with the band playing live on a pirate ship, then Fat Mike appears and captures Graffin and takes him to his space ship. Then the rest of the band get into a giant Jay Bentley (you said you were a UFO on the Big Bang DVD), and then there is an epic battle in outer space between the NOFX space ship and you. Then, at the very end, the guys from NOFX shoot the Jay UFO, and then board it, taking over it. Then, as the Jay UFO flies away, the Suffer boy appears from behind a box in the Jay UFO, and hugs the guys out of NOFX, burning them alive and defeating them. That's what I expect the video to be like though, I didn't go for the long shot or anything. |

a question for jay: will there be a video for that single?" probably... |

If this song had been on Empire they could have done a tie in with the two Capote movies. Oh well.

Tommy, can you upload it to youtube please?
|
|
05/10/2007 at 22:26
That's right, because Jay put it on there! He can do what he wants.

I have something funny for y'all! I downloaded a lizzie mcguire (!) episode where some band covered "portrait of authority". Some of you might know this, but others may not. here is a download link:

who wants to hear this song again... |
|
05/10/2007 at 05:19
Sorry for the turbulance
That was not the intention I was just wondering |

I think the sole purpose of d. adrian's visits to this site is just to insult people that go here and also find anything that's wrong with the site (Even when we are in the process of fixing a lot of stuff in the new Answer wiki)

"i would never contribute with something if i didn't feel it met a certain standard."
...like this discussion, for example...? |
|
05/09/2007 at 20:05
i guess i should've used the /sarcasm tag
:V: don't take it so personally, lol. |
|
05/09/2007 at 20:01
jau peacecraft: shut the fuck up. i completely stand by the criticism. i would never contribute with something if i didn't feel it met a certain standard.

and chito is right: put your money where your mouth is and stop encouraging pointless trolling.
|
|
05/09/2007 at 19:53
okay, d.adrian, quite being an asshole before your mother finds out and sends you to your room.
"the people writing them obviously don't" Which begs the question: Do you work for this site? Because if you did, you'd know the news reporters don't really have a thing called access to change the main site, so quit crapping your pants. |
|
05/09/2007 at 19:53
If you want the correct lyrics why don't you contribute with them and send them to the Webmasters instead of complaining..
|
|
05/09/2007 at 19:11
updated? i don't even understand how the lyrics are put out wrong in the first place. either you know them or you don't, and the people writing them obviously don't, and don't seem to even have the albums, which is a shame.
MANY, MANY, MANY more than my poor friend me have incredibly fucked up and wrong lyrics on this page, and that just sucks. |
|
05/09/2007 at 16:39
Good song and don't forget I said it... buuuut "...delves into the humanity of forgiveness and retribution." Personally I don't hear four lines of verse and a repeating chorus as deep. Kinda just scratches the surface for me. I'm interested in hearing this in context with the rest of the album because right now it seems like a New America b-side. At least its not another Infected, dammit.

Because they're not getting updated anymore. We're working on it.

Off topic:
How come the biggest Bad Religion fan-page have some songs with wrong lyrics? My Poor Friend Me for example. |
|
05/09/2007 at 15:28
Heroes & Martyrs would be a better single
