Punk rock institution BAD RELIGION began recording NEW MAPS OF HELL, the follow-up to 2004's heralded THE EMPIRE STRIKES FIRST at Grand Master Studios in Los Angeles in mid-February, just as Greg Graffin was giving midterms at his other job: professor of Life Sciences at UCLA. The lead singer and co-writer laughs, "when I was an undergrad and a graduate student at UCLA, I used to play and write with Bad Religion at night. Now, I'm back to that schedule as a professor."
Slated for a July 10 release, NEW MAPS OF HELL is co-written with Epitaph head Brett Gurewitz, and produced by Grammy-nominated producer Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer). Much of the new material will be debuted to expectant crowds on the main stage of the 2007 Van Warped Tour. Gurewitz states, "we all liked the concept of maps, because we are exploring new material on this record, both musically and topically." Quite a feat for a band that has been around for 25+ years.

"great"? just "great"? Bad Religion will always kick loads of ass. Period.

hell, the album doesn't even have to be fast, as long as it's good is what matters to me... i dont care how old they get, as long as they can keep making good records (david gilmour was 61 when he recorded "on an island" and that album kicks ass), then i'm happy, and when they're done for good, they'll look back on it, and so will I, and say, "BR was great, even in their later stages".

I seriously hope none of you shallow emo lurkers (those that apply) start bitching about not enough news after the new album's been out for a while after this crap. Seriously, get bent. I just hope the band doesn't decide to go on hiatus because of (most) of you ungrateful asses.

What's all the fuzz about? Graffin doesn't look much older than he's been doing for the last couple of years, same with Brett and Hetson (who looks funny but cute as always). Jay has had the same hairline for the last 15 years or so and is still looking pretty good. Maybe Brian has put some extra weight on, but he's been a bit chubby for the last couple of years. Nothing spectacular. As Dr Ryan said, this is just another photo of Bad Religion.

Facelifts anyone?
|
|
04/02/2007 at 22:43
I think they look like Bad Religion. Bad Religion = fucking amazing, so that pretty much sums up the photo for me.
|
|
04/02/2007 at 17:43
They still look like shite luv and I agree that Brian has packed on a few stone

I would fully support a possible fund for "bands to kick their own fans in the balls when they are being little whiny shallow bitches".
paypal, amirite? |
|
04/02/2007 at 12:15
wow...i never knew Bad Religion fans were so shallow.
are we here because of the way they look? what's wrong with you people? and they're all gorgeous, dammit! |
|
04/02/2007 at 07:03
/rapes all whiners
|
|
04/02/2007 at 06:52
 My God even my own parents look better than these guys.I've never seen Bad Religion look this haggered.Ouch! |
|
04/02/2007 at 04:38
I really hope the band doesn't think all of their fans are this vain, stupid and shallow, because as long as they are around, making kick ass music, it shouldn't matter unless any of them are in ill health, which is certainly not the case. Jesus christ, quite acting like whiny Good Charlotte fans.

they look like zombies!!

Bad Religion surely is about music not about looks and so is punk.
But this is called "band photo" so what did you expect? |
|
04/01/2007 at 19:31
we all get old someday get over it,they're early to mid forties, some of us age better than others they're not 25 anymore, as long as the albums good hard and fast, maybe im wishing for too much, thats what i want.
|
|
04/01/2007 at 19:26
man can't believe you people punk rock is not about how people look, so what they're getting on a bit, only thing that matters to me is that the record kicks ass, if it doesn't that'll suck,its about music not image imo.

The look on GG's face tells you all that he predicted your reactions. Washed up.
|
|
04/01/2007 at 18:46
OMG they look bloody HORRIBLE......
Brian Baker looks like he's gained 85 pounds of belly fat and Jay looks as if he's starting to recede as well as the other two Gregs. No more band photos just crossbusters PLEASE! |
|
04/01/2007 at 02:33
i think the garage looks best
|
|
04/01/2007 at 01:14
Okay guyz, time to stop being faggots on the interwebs; I'm sure every single one of you is a model, LoL!

We all want to date graffin
|
|
03/31/2007 at 22:03
The picture must have been Brett's choice. Brett looks especially good but my plan is to date Graffin.
|
|
03/31/2007 at 18:31
You guys are so punk rock, talking about how attractive you think they are.
Are you guys planning on dating them? |
|
03/31/2007 at 18:18
I'm sorry but Greg Hetson looks like a bald George Burns.
|
|
03/31/2007 at 18:02

(get the reference, win a buck) |
|
03/31/2007 at 02:09
I like it. They all look pretty intense, except for brooks, who seems to be watching a fly or something.
|
|
03/31/2007 at 01:22
I dunno, Greg G. looks way good in this photo and Brett is jacked. GOOD STUFF.
|
|
03/31/2007 at 01:18
Man, if i look like this when i'm 45, just slug me
|
|
03/31/2007 at 00:57
You people are really over-analyzing it. It's a picture of a bunch of old men who still play the same incredible music they've always played.
BAD RELIGION remains as the number one most amazing band of all time because the lyrics are thought-provoking and the rythm is energizing... Their musical talent has no connection with their photographer's level of talent. |

03/31/2007 at 00:56
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM!!!!!
|
|
03/30/2007 at 23:11
Guys !! You're forgetting the main thing here.... the NEW ALBUM !!! We've been waiting so much for this !! For a Fan... it's like an eternity !!
|
|
03/30/2007 at 22:30
Yeah, a bit.
Is it just me or is greg just about to lose weight? |
|
03/30/2007 at 20:40
is it just me or has Brian put on weight?
|
|
03/30/2007 at 19:39
goddamn you guys are sooooo critical. It's a promo photo. I think Greg looks amazingly hot in this photo...but doesn't he always?
|
|
03/30/2007 at 19:32
I would like to be a Graduate of The Bad Religion Institute! But my teacher doesn't want to give me an A+ (damnit)
|
|
03/30/2007 at 19:30
I wonder if Bad Religion are going to play some of the new material live in april. Hopefully, someone can tape the concerts.

Wow Hetson looks old in that picture and brian reminds me of a english bulldog. Where is the protest moustache brett!?
|
|
03/30/2007 at 17:03
brett looks like he is controlling greg from the back, like a puppet, mastermind.
|
|
03/30/2007 at 16:58

|
|
03/30/2007 at 16:03
Lets face it, the back three (Brett, Brooks and Jay)look ok but the others look terrible. Hetson used to look cool when he had hair.
|
|
03/30/2007 at 16:00
Brian should sleep sometimes...:D
|
|
03/30/2007 at 15:19
