I already decided to visit Rock Am Ring to watch Rage Against The Machine... Now I just found out that Bad Religion is coming to Rock Am Ring too, holy shit, I'm so fucking happy, it's seriously not possible to describe in words my happiness right now. THANK YOU BAD RELIGION!

Germany deserve BR's tour!!!
DVD ALong the way is, for me, the best BR'S DVD ever!!! The GErmans'S crowd was awsome in the shows of '88... THey kicks ass!! The best part was when Jay fall down with his bass in Sensory overloard's song... ?I give him 8,5 on 10!!

IRELAND!

Mr. A i am interested too...
could you mail me link?
thanks

Echt? Kaum zu glauben...!

Bad Religion - Live In Coesfeld (1994) is ready!
Anybody interested?
Yes, I am! I've been there too...

Marek is going to bring them to the Rock Im Park Fetival again

If BR will tour in Germany, I expect they will at least give one gig in the Netherlands (and I hope it will be in the Paradiso or Melkweg in Amsterdam)...

Lossless version please...
Thanks in advance...

Bad Religion - Live In Coesfeld (1994) is ready!

First tour with Brian Baker. Full show (almost). Featuring No Control with Jay Bentley and Pessimistic Lines with some fanboy on lead vocals and a splendid Beastie Boys cover. Less than stellar sound quality.

Anybody interested?

Oh yea - please prioritize the German speaking countries again - Cant wait to spent another night being drunk trying to stay awake reading a book in the McDonalds cuz first train goes at seven. What about Denmark goddammit!!??

Thanks Jay, that cleared it up for me. Now I know not to get my hopes up too high, lol.

@Julia
You might get an answear in reading the comments....

So would I!!!!

I would kill for an extended NMoH comp.

OMG that would be great!
What about festivals (like rock im park or rock am ring)? Do you want to play some of them too? I have to admit I`m not a festival fan though...just curious...
So, the way I see it I`ll fly to berlin....I think I can`t take the risk that you might won`t come to any of the german speaking countries again this summer....
Thanks for answering our questions.
You`re awesome!

Hey, there's nothing wrong with thirtysomethings per se - as long as they behave like thirtysomethings. Whatever that means.

i know what was intended , but i'm not sure what will be the result. i know that epitaph had ideas of releasing an extended cd/dvd of nmoh, with the myspace show, videos from the record, graffin acoustic stuff, etc., etc.. i can't be 100% that it will ever see the light of day, but thats what i know.

Yo Jay, do you know anything about the acoustic recordings Graffin, Brett and Joe were working on?

If so, can you give us some info about it?

Was it just private stuff, or is it stuff which might see release?

Thanks. :)

yeh matt i agree. i think he's been saying he's done with bad religion for some time. probably just some jaded thirtysomething exfanboy taking out his aggression on this page as well as on his first person shooter video games while alone in his 1 bedroom apartment.

feb 29 through apr 6 = 27 shows at the h.o.b. in so cal and vegas. i keep saying this and no one listens.

isnt it funny that steve festa's always complaining about bad religion touring, yet still listens to them? for years, i've heard that he hates bad religion, but still continues to post on this site, offer his opinion, and whine. i just don't get it. if you hate them that much, why invest your time hating them? just thought i'd point that out. i'm sure im not the only one who notices.

Did I miss something? wasnt greg NOT doing a usa tour cause of school... now there are these lame dates and still no usa tour other than the lame east coast and 3 shows in 3 months at only HOB clubs.. nice filling that obligation. Sellouts. Why tell us there is gunna be a tour then not be... off a cliff boys .. hope a boot gets ya in germany

I totally see that point, but a "if I work something out for every single BR fanboy, Jay will kick my ass" would have been perfectly fine with me.
His "the world revolves around me" attitude (or facade) just made me feel a little bit uncomfortable, so to say. I guess being an asshole from time to time is a main requirement for a tour manager.

And considering the tragedy that happened to the metal band Pantera a couple of years ago (an ex-Marine walking in with a gun and killing several people onstage during the show), it makes total sense to be careful and to demand a certain amount of discipline from the crew. Point taken.

Anyway, hope to see you at one of the forthcoming german shows, and if possible, soundchecks...

haha... no, jens is our booking agent, and he has been our t.m., and sometimes he just travels with us... but you have to be fair, how many people do you think come to him at every show to get in? and if i ever caught him selling or handing out passes or tickets i would fire him, just as i would (and have) any other crew member. there has to be some measure of accountability, and while he may not be the easiest person to communicate with, it's not really in his job description.
and su, we usually check around 4pm. don't know what the venue scenario is yet, but usually if you just walk right in, no one will stop you.

It is impeccable indeed...

Is Jens Geiger still (or again) the BR tour manager? I had the "pleasure" to meet him at their hotel in Cologne back in 1996 when they played at the Luxor on their Gray Race club/pub tour. It was a sold out show and I didn't have a ticket so I tried to work something out with Mr. Geiger. Let's put it this way, he was less than helpful.

I only managed to sneak into the club with the help of a female german longtime friend of the band (especially Bobby) who I became acquainted with at that hotel. She handed me Schayer's backstage pass only minutes before the show. Great gig, especially during the barrier breakdown...

So, once again, a big middle finger response to Mr. Geiger.

not really sure.. what i wanted to do was go north to south, start in scandanavia and work towards spain and italy on the first half, then come back and do the u.k on the second half. but the shows are slow to come in right now. i'm waiting for jens to give me a routing. i wish i had more information.

Sooo... does that mean August is for the other Europe dates? Or are you playing further shows in Germany, too?

we're still working on all the dates. i'm not getting a lot of time for this tour, so i hope i can fit everything in. we're trying to break it up into two segments... the second will be in august.
fingers crossed.
and even though i can read the note i posted, i actually just copied it from the promoter rep... miene deutsche ist nicht sehr gute. see?

Haha, Jay, you're awesome. Really nice the tickets will be cheaper at the Box Office. And your German is impeccable. :)

PS, I know it's still a bit till June, but if I get to the venue early enough, could I get into sound check?

Seit wann spricht Jay so gut Deutsch?
Hat da der Jens geholfen?
Haha...21-25 euro is a good price!
Jay, could you tell me if you`re going to play somewhere in the south of germany or in switzerland or austria?
Otherwise I`ll book a flight to berlin...

btw did anybody read that story on punknews.org about br being on the nomination list for shortlist music prize!! I hope they make the final cut. new maps of hell should win just based off of the songs progial son and new dark ages.

I wonder how long it took jay to type all that in german..
nobody wants to see nofx and dropkick so their tickets are cheaper. plus this isn't 1982! do nofx charge 1982 prices?? I don't think so. br is worth every fuckin penny.

Die Ticketgrundpreise betragen 25,00 Euro in Bochum, Hamburg 23,00 Euro, Berlin 21,00 Euro.
Ich sch?tze mal die Diskussionen sind wg. den Preisen auf eventim.de, die immer durch diverse online Geb?hren deutlich ?ber denen im Laden liegen. Im Box Office kostet kein Ticket so viel wie u.a.
Wir haben auf die Geb?hren leider nur begrenzt Einfluss.

yeah yeah, get a real job, not too expensive for that band, metallica 100 euros, inflation and taxes fairy tale. man, how do bands like dropkick murphys and nofx manage to have lower ticket prices, at the same venues, mmm i wonder...

plz read noeke.com

That's gonna be so awesome, Mr A, I'm looking forward to the Coesfeld show. If possible, could you upload a lossless version, too?

I do find it strange they're playing so few shows in Germany. Wonder if they're going to announce more dates. Would've thought they'd have at least one date in the south.

"Karl", if you can't afford to save 30 bucks during 6 months for a BR show, GET A REAL JOB - or go away. Ever heared of inflation and taxes?

I hope they'll play a show in southwest Germany; Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Mannheim or Karlsruhe. Or even better, Heidelberg: I'd buy them a beer. Or two.

Oh, and I will rip the Coesfeld show from 1994 in the next couple of days/weeks.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all you materialists, agnostics, atheists - and believers.

So bands like U2 or RHCP, Metallica, etc etc charge 100 euros or more for a ticket that gets you a half-mile from the stagefront.
20 or 30 euros for BR is worth every penny. If you can't afford the prices GET A FUCKING JOB!!!

30? is not much in my opinion for that Band......so calm down....
like the others said if its too much don't go....
I'm so excited

In Germany, the prices for punk concerts vary from 3 EUR to 20 EUR (for bands that are REALLY popular!). Just so you know the range. I won't go to this one. And I hope they retire, but at least they should end it with dignity.

stop bitchin about the fuckin prices already. prices go up every damn year for everything. if you don't have the money don't go. if you do, buy the ticket and try to have good time. you can complain when they retire. which will happen because fans are always bitchin about the ticket prices. deal with it!!

Well, if you feel they?re not worth the price, don?t go. That?s pretty much the power you have

i meant tesf tour of course, dooh

for 32 euro i want at least to have a real say at the playlist! seriously, there was some shameless rip off at some br shows.
at a show in essen during tpob tour a TEST T-Shirt was sold for 25 euros, i paid a little more for the ticket. not to mention the copied br shirts that were sold right after the concert in front of the venue for 5 euros were very popular...

...The TESF tour was presented by Marek Lieberberg, as well.

BTW, the Berlin show is much cheaper. Ever thought it might be the venue?

Bad Religion is going to play at Rock am Ring this year. .... european tour inclusive

Don't forget Marek Lieberberg is the booking agency with the most punk rock street credibility, featuring Celine Dion, Bruce Springsteen and The Police. Bad Religion seem to need the money really hard.

32EUR...
the TPOB tour was 24,02EUR
and
the TESF tour was 26,90EUR
GG solo tour was 6,05EUR =D
and NOW 32EUR!?!?
WTF??

me too libidoanger

how come bad religion doesn't post these shows in myspace or a website they now also are playing 7 nights back to back in l.a. Before it was only 3 nights like 3 days apart from eachother atleast 5 of those 7 are already sold put

I believe the "32 EUR" is a joke.

damn right ratguy!

We need an updated version of Along the Way. For some reason it seems to me any concert footage in Germany is way more exciting. Live at the Palladium didn't quite capture the thrill of seeing them live like Along the Way did. This'd be a great opportunity to have a rawer dvd of newer stuff.

Please come to Hungary, too!!

England

3 (THREE) dates??? - come on guys

Norway. Please!

Sweden please!

Damn - I have been waiting since 2000 for them to come back to Denmark. Its long overdue!!

Any news if they're coming to Sweden too?

YES, Hamburg! Jay, I love you.

Pity it's not during my holidays, though.
