Today, we will share an array of Bad Religion-related scores, human interest stories and the obituary of emo dealt by Greg Graffin with you.
"It may not look like it, but this took me a long time because I had to change him around and cut & paste with only MS Paint.
If anyone's interested they could add the other members too... although every time I tried to do Brett it came out female for some reason."
Many thanks to BRP for this excellent rendition of a yellow Graffin!
"A guy in Texas proposed to his girlfriend during the middle of Bad Religion's set at the Warped Tour on July 14th. I was just reading random stuff and came across it. Nothing like holy matrimony and Bad Religion!"
(Go about halfway down this page on the right for the girl's comment.)
Thanks to Creighton for this news!
"I was listening to my Sirius radio today and the station (Faction 28) does updates from the Warped tour. The lead singer from Revolution Mother does them twice a day. In todays update he said a bunch of the bands were at a bar in the D.C. area and were trying to order drinks. The bar was pretty jammed so it was taking time. One of the singers from an Emo band on the tour (he said he was wearing makeup but didn't give a name) Started making a scene trying to big wig his way to service. Hetson told him to shut the fuck up. He didn't listen, and started walking on the table makeing a bid sceen. Hetson gets his beer and throws into this guys face telling him to shut up. The update guy said his makeup was ruining down his face and he was soaked."
If anybody knows who the singer was, reports are very welcome!
Credits go to Blitzstyle for this anecdote.
Going on, we are proud to present you Modern Man Greg Graffin VS Emo Guy!
Thanks to Atheist Peace for the find!

yeah greg looks like butthead... and i think BR would be better in the simpsons than green day... but the simpsons guys are businessmen now, and they figured green day would make them more money than bad religion

To those who were asking about the "Modern Man!?!?!?" bit on that video, I think it may have been mocking the emo guy. It's like the video is asking "this is modern man? This is what we are like? Emos? Fuck that - have some BR instead!"
Just my take on it :) |
|
08/01/2007 at 21:58
Bad Religion should've been in the simpsons movie, but alas they chose Green Day instead.

Bigbang, I think it was Mr A.
Simian, I was saving them for the next Warped Roundup. If you would write a review for the show, I could put it up as a seperate news item, though. I didn't think the Simspons thing would be met with so much enthusiasm. If you guys do enough of those, I'll feature the next Weekly with an exclusive "BR as Simpsons character" writeup. What do you think? |

Sorry that rendition was from the anechoic nebula
|
|
08/01/2007 at 18:25
Hahaha. Brett looks like Millhouse in Mr. A Simpsons' rendition!

My god, man! You nailed it!.. Probably. |
|
08/01/2007 at 10:53
Thanks for the videos, simian! It's good to see BR nailing the new songs (even without Brett onstage) and hearing Brooks on Anesthesia makes me smile - great tone on this one, great drumming.

Prodigal Son, my friend and I were wondering the same thing, if anyone even has a guess that would be cool.

If the emo-pwning incident happened the night of the Columbia, MD show... I spoke to Hetson earlier in the day. He didn't seem like he was in a very feisty mood, but maybe a few beers changed that...

Any reason you didn't include my YouTube videos of the Warped Tour performance in Columbia, MD? (remove spaces obviously)

I know this is off topic but, I was wondering if anyone knew what is meant by the line "GO TO HELL WITH SUPERMAN AND DIE LIKE A CHAMPION " in the song "Do what you want." And I'm not offended by any slander towards superman so go ahead If anyone knows.

When Greg does the devil horns during Modern Man he looks like a character from Beavis and Butthead...
|

I think the best animated version of Graffin was the one pic for that review where he was holding the mike and pointing with the chalkboard behind him with the referrence to a song or two. I wanted to frame that and put it up on my wall =o.
|
|
07/31/2007 at 20:58
All the different renditions are quite funny, I wonder why everybody gave Graffin the same haircut, hahaha...!
Jay is pretty hard to replicate with the face elements that are available though. And no checkered top for Brooks, unfortunately. |

Mr.A + simpsonsmovie.com = BR, Simpsons style: http://img511.imageshack.us/ img511/8504/bruv8.jpg The best I could come up with at the moment (yup, too much time on my hands). The one of Hetson is hilarious. If you go on his myspace page near the bottom there's another simpsons rendition of the band. |

Mr. A, that was great. Mr. Brett was perfect, although my rendition of Greg Graffin is more like this:

"One of the singers from an Emo band"
Is that any kind of clue? Is there a emo band with more than one singer? I'm not familiar with emo bands actualy... |
|
07/31/2007 at 11:16
and what's with greg's chin? bad caricature.
|
|
07/31/2007 at 11:15
kinda cool, but at the same time, completely ruined by the devil's horn, that belongs nowhere in a bad religion show. it's not metal, it's punk rock.
|
|
07/31/2007 at 07:55
Of course the one time I submit anything Im shown up by a cool ass video! Good job though, whoever did that.

Greg Graffin > Greg Grafin

|
07/31/2007 at 06:00
So who was it that got the beer thrown at them?
|
|
07/31/2007 at 05:51
I thought it was hilarious in that the devil horns and the "modern man?!?!?" didn't make sense lol.
|
|
07/31/2007 at 04:32
Why, at the end, its written ''Modern Man ?!?!?!?''
I think I didnt understand this one.. |
|
07/30/2007 at 20:30
i agree the pointing would've been more appropriate, but i think it fits the style the characters are drawn in. I almost crapped my pants when i saw how it looked like Mike Judge had drawn it >_>.

This is the best update in a few weeks. hmm...Emo Guy with makeup, thinks he's more important than everyone else, is My Chemical Romance on the tour this year? That guys a douchebag!
|
|
07/30/2007 at 18:55
Yeah, he should be pointing instead of doing the horns. But I do like the emo guy's guyliner.
|
|
07/30/2007 at 18:45
To the person who made that video: I la you <3
|
|
07/30/2007 at 18:41
everything is cool!!!! :)
I just didn?t like the video emo guy versus greg graffin because greg is always smiling, well dressed and doesn?t do the satan thing with fingers, so this guy is definitely not greg! |
|
07/30/2007 at 18:00
Hah, the Simpsonesque Greg is fun. But he doesn't have a stubble in real life? Not often at least.
|
|
07/30/2007 at 13:43
lol
|
|
07/30/2007 at 13:22
Even tough it would have been the right thing to do it doesn't somehow seem like something Hetson would do
|
|
07/30/2007 at 13:13
HAHA! Well done Greg Hetson! Fuck the emo guy and his fucking make up!
