why does everyone talk about the offspring on this site i like both offspring and bad religion but everytime i come on here people are talking about offspring i don't get it

@LeRoy:
They'll actually switch places in about 6 years.

Who will retire first Brett Favre or Bad Religion?

here a interview with Jay on stereozona, they upload one video with 3 live songs (pro shot) this week, only the liove songs without the interview

awesome!

So, I was reading the sometimes meh/sometimes awesome webcomic, lucid-tv, and I happened to look at one of the titles for one of the comics:

Awesome!

The clock is ticking...

"not soon enough" - it's just a way of saying "I wish they'd come here as soon as possible"

@Ed-esxcuse me what's the exact mean of "not soon enough",what you intended???

matteo - not soon enough.
they should play a few club shows like the Camden Underworld gig a few years back. Totally amazing show.

He hates drop D tuning(tuning down the low E string to a D), he likes open C tuning but doesn't really play any Bad Religion in that tuning.
BR plays in Eb Tuning(each string is tuned down half a step).

If you go to you tube and look up the guitar lessons that Brian has on there, in one of the 3 part series, he says he hates drop d tuning. He likes to tune down the 5th string.

i repeat,anybody knows when BR touring UK?

Ehy, is there a transcription of the homework (graffin's lecture)?
it's hard for a non-english speaking person to follow the speech...

Just look up any live version of Honest Goodbye on Youtube its the same shit.

has anyone streamed honest goodbye video from the deluxe album? i'd like to see it if it's any good

anechoic nebula; yeah you might be right. I listened to a bootleg and it was in Eb. I think Brian hates playing in "Drop D". (with only the e string tuned down a whole step) I never read anything about him hating to play in D. But Greg Graffin acoustic seems to really lower tracks. Like dearly beloved and Sorrow are very much lower sounding than the originals.

The Offspring aren't that good live though-not as good as BR anyway. I used to have a live Offspring recording and the singing was subpar, despite being in the original tuning.

They don't tune to D: Brian hates D tuning; they tune to Eb.

come on, guys. You can't call the Offspring one of the worst bands ever. I know about a million bands that I hate more. Sometimes I even listen to Americana and Conspiracy of one. And by the way, Dexter can still sing all of his songs in the original tunings of the albums. Bad Religion has it's guitars tuned in D instead of E and that takes away a lot of energy from the songs. When I heard hammerhead on Kroq I was pleasantly surprised that this old band still sounds that fresh.
So now everybody can kill me for liking the Offspring

jajaj i agree with michael jajajajajaja.. fuck "the shitspring" and fuck "dexter shitholland"

So, who's heard The Offspring's new album? Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace? Yeah, it's a pretty good album. I liked it. I also very much love the albums Ignition, Self Titled, and even Smash! Splinter was good too, except for a couple of songs.

Anyways, the point I'm making is that it is in fact YOU GUYS who are the douche bags. You haven't met the man, and since most of you are citing their SINGLES for reference is enough to believe you've never listened to their music.

I can't believe you're even discussing Dexter, or the Offspring. One of the worst bands of all times

excuse me a few days ago not a few years aaaah

a few years ago BR put another two date in Germany for 29 and 30 August,there will be another Euro tour,yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

guys,when BAD RELIGION touring uk?they said in October true?

I don't think Graffin got his award just because he's a musician and has a PhD. What's important is that he writes songs about the same stuff he studies/teaches and so he mixes his academic career and his music very well. I can't really see what Original Prankster or Pretty fly (or any of their more serious song for that matter) has to do with academic sciences.

*That was supposed to say isn't a fan, btw.

@diegohosen: No, 'cause Dexter doesn't have one. He went to USC (ha, no wonder Graffin is a fan of his), but dropped out when Smash exploded. Just because he's an "asshole" doesn't mean he didn't go. Also, Milo Aukerman should get a lot more recognition than he currently gets. He's awesome.

seriously.. does anybody really believe that dexter holland has a phd in ANYTHING? he?s a complete asshole.. come on guys... he surely didn?t go to school :D

Dexter Holland has a masters degree in molecular biology but chose to focus on his band rather than pursue a Phd.

tommy, greg didnt go to harvard. he went to cornell + ucla. his connection with harvard is basically that they gave him this award.

As far as I know, Dexter didn't really get to graduate from Uni.

Erm, I thought the Offspring dude did have one? Someone told me he did, they were boasting about how great he was. They might've been wrong though.

Does Greg know Rivers Cuomo? He was(is?) in Harvard, right?

Is it me or is the guy at the beginning talking really fast?

Spill them beans if you had listened to the whole thing you would have realized that the song Sorrow has to do with humanism which is something he supports and talked about during this, therefore it makes perfect sense to play it. Also I agree that Milo Auckerman should also be recognized for his academic achievements but Dexter Holland doesn't neccesarily fit in there since he doesn't have a Phd like Greg and Milo. In conclusion, fuck Dexter Holland.

Anyone gonna back me up that just cuz this is news that involves Greg, it doesn't neccesarily make it interesting?

Certainly not. You can grind your axe on your own.

spill them beans,
are you 12? instead of mocking those honoring greg, perhaps you could learn something from him - like recognizing the ignorance in calling people fags and using homophobic rhetoric.

@spill them beans: someone didnt make it to harvard and is now angry...

Lighten up dude, it was a good listen, especially the acoustic performance.

This was painful to listen to. The homo from Harvard should have his fruity brains blown out. The fag who followed also sounded like someone dumped a basket of dicks down his throat. All these guys are gushing over Greg cuz they think its so amazing that a rockstar does something in the field of academics. Whoop-d shit. Where are the awards for Milo Aukerman or Dexter Holland? Seriously, these kids sound like they just struck gold by discovering him. So I skipped forward through this trainwreck and surprise surprise, more kids who were dropped on their heads as infants are talking about the similarities between atheists and those of faith...YAWN! greg plays Acoustic Sorrow, like that has anything to do with anything. Anyone gonna back me up that just cuz this is news that involves Greg, it doesn't neccesarily make it interesting? Here's a news flash thats more captivating. Everyone in Bad Religion took a shit today, But Greg's smelled better cuz he's a scientist whos in a rock band.

I thought it was a podcast/internet radio?

Anyway, I laughed at Greg's comment about "Guitar Hero 4", poor guy! lol

VERY interesting! Thanks for posting.

Well if this was a radio recording 64 is the best youll get.. even if you changed it higher it will still hold the lesser quality.
ive seen videos on youtube and so far none are complete nor in decent enough quality to bother with. Why is youtube so popular.. sigh..the same FLV even in myspace vid looks twice as good. DOH

There's vids on youtube, but the audio isn't as loud.

On the other hand the download here has good audio at a really bad bitrate.

I'm not an audiophile, but 64k is a bit low to listen to. I'll take it though! :P

hmm wonder why only audio...doh
