We'll kick this one off with a fan cover of Empty Causes with slightly modified lyrics:

Empty causes -- Different Songs

Every Bad Religion show I go the set list is always the same
Of course there are a few changes, but the classics
They never go away
Why you keep singing every night
"you and me have a disease"?
If you could play "In Some Many Ways"
Or "Leave Mine To Me"

Different Songs
Well I think to myself is it "Too Much To Ask"?
Different Songs
"You?ve Got A Chance but it seems so far away"

When you release a new album
You come to my city to play only four songs of it
Ignoring the fact that the tour has the album?s name
"No Control", "Recipe for Hate"
"Suffer" and "Sorrow" every day
Well I?m sad you forgot your human ability to change

Different Songs
"New America", "Gray Race", both of them in disgrace
Different Songs
If you could play some b-sides it will be even better by the way

I read you?re planning some thematic shows in States
On "The Bad Religion Page"
But I?ll keep my protest on "rewriting" this tune
Those theme shows will be temporary
or whole world include?

Different Songs
"Waiting as a murder child I feel a Strange Denial"
Different Songs
I still think to myself is it "Too Much To Ask?"
Different Songs
I am not the only one, just listen to the crowd
Different Songs
You keep playing the same but 'I Want Something...
Mooooooore"
That?s for sure

Thanks to Paulo for this cover!

We have a belated Auckland setlist and short review:

Auckland

FUCK ARMAGEDDON
SUPERSONIC
SOCIAL SUICIDE

REQUIEM FOR DISSENT
SUFFER
ATOMIC GARDEN

NEW DARK AGES
DIGITAL BOY
CONQUER THE WORLD

LET THEM EAT WAR
SKYSCRAPER
GOD SONG

DEARLY BELOVED
DO WHAT YOU WANT
SANITY
52 SECS-HEROES/MARTYRS

NO CONTROL
STRUCK A NERVE
MODERN MAN

THE DEFENSE
ANASTESIA
GENERATOR

LA IS BURNING
YOU
SORROW
AMERICAN JESUS

ALONG THE WAY
ONLY GONNA DIE
PUNK ROCK SONG
INFECTED

Four songs were not played at the Auckland gig on the 14th of November, 2007: The Defense, Anesthesia, Along The Way and We?re Only Gonna Die. Considering those songs together make up only about ten to fifteen minutes, I didn?t see any reason why they couldn?t have played them.
Bit disappointing that they didn?t play Anesthesia, but I was only half expecting Skyscraper because they had been playing it in Australia as well, so ultimately I didn?t care. A totally kick-ass show with lots of singing along to classic songs by the crowd.

PS My set-list is from where Brian Baker was standing but I got it signed by Greg Hetson after sneaking past security and seeing him at the side of the stage. Awesome! (Someone else got him to sign their shoe!)

Thanks to Warwick Stubbs for this news!

The website iMUD (The Internet Music Database) has just created a page for Bad Religion, except the discography is not yet completed.

One of the reasons why I'm presenting this is that I just thought any Bad Religion fan would be interested in checking out the website. You can also help complete the band's discography by clicking "add entry", then click "add new album".

Here's the URL.

Enjoy!

Thanks to Matt for this news!

Much trivia follows:

the latest exhibition of the italian artist Maurizio Savini, hosted at the Angel Art Gallery of Milan (Italy) until december 28th, was entitled "Destined For Nothing" and the title was taken from the homonymous BR song as the artist stated in an interview.
ciao!

Thanks to samchok for this news!

On the 14th episode of the TV show "Las Vegas" (Season 5, about 30 min and 15 sec in to the episode), Piper (concierge) at the casino asks for a day of from work to go see a Bad Religion show, she says:

- No you see Bad Religion is in town and I've got killer tickets.

You can watch whole episodes on NBC.com

Thanks to BRsweden and Rob for this news!

Juno, the main character in the eponymous movie, likes an array of music, but mostly punk, so of course in a scene where she's at her locker in school, there's a Bad Religion sticker/patch hanging with the crossbuster logo.

Thanks to julien, Creighton, rummel and Sam for this news!

The tracklist pf Body of War compilation we've mentioned before has been revealed; BR's song selection is Let Them Eat War.

Click for track list.

Thanks to tommy for this news!

Again, thanks to everybody who sent in news! Keep up the good work.

badrelgnsf The Same Person lost in ramble nation Location: Sacramento CA Status: Offline Posts: 2097	Quote Hmm yea Its odd not to hear Broken at least... I was thinking that earlier. But no sub and new america are atlantic label... so is grey race but its the good atlantic album so brett let a few slide (he hates all of those albums esp the grey race.. I assume due to the fact he wrote nothing and the band left label) So far almost every setlist has been different, even if they just re arrange the set. Hope a dvd does come of this.. I happen to know all the shows did have HOB cameras on em except the SD and ventura shows(I saw no cams at ventura and didnt attend SD nor will I attend LV) Keep an eye out in LV 03/25/2008 at 21:18 Hmm yea Its odd not to hear Broken at least...

Ronny Guest Location: Global Citizen	Quote It has no point to keep arguing about the setlist. If I was Jay right now I'd be pretty mad. We should all be thankful for the themed setlists. I'm sure BR knows what is best to play. I am a very big fan of the new america and the process of belief. But hearing those bootlegs, I can see why they don't play You've got a chance or Broken. Those just sound better on the album (with good harmonies) I am just glad I still have the opportunity to see them in June. 03/25/2008 at 11:22 It has no point to keep arguing about the setlist.

Mota Guest Location: France	Quote Well they should obviously keep playing classics, but rather not ALL in the same setlist. It's good to please everyone, casual fans (some hits) and hardcore fans (some songs that dont come up often). Personally I'm tired with Infected and Suffer even though I've never seen them live. But I wouldn't mind if they play Infected at a show if they also play News From The Front for example. 03/25/2008 at 10:32 Well they should obviously keep playing classics, but rather not ALL in the same setlist.

M Guest Location: Finland	Quote (continued) I of course love to sing along songs like Tiny Voices, You've Got a Chance (totally fuckin' awesome), Parallel, Anxiety and blahblahblah but who cares. I still loved to hear No Control live. And yes, some people bitched about them playing to much new material in Helsinki 2004. They played nearly 30 songs and what 10 of them were from TPoB and TESF. So I don't agree with the "play 12 songs of the album" either. 03/25/2008 at 08:09 (continued) I of course love to sing along songs like Tiny Voices, You've Got a Chance (totally fuckin' awesome), Parallel, Anxiety and blahblahblah but who cares.

M Guest Location: Finland	Quote As a fan who lives in Scandinavia it's very hard to me to understand why they should drop Infected/Generator/American Jesus. Yes, they should play some rarities and these themed set lists are very cool. But seriously, they're not playing for the guys who listen a bootleg of the show afterwards. They're playing for the people who come to the shows. If BR were so nice to play a show in Finland (AFTER 4 LONG YEARS OF WAITING) I think most of the people would be dissapointed if they wouldn't play most of these songs: American Jesus/Digital Boy/Infected/Punk Rock Song/Generator/No Control/Atomic Garden/Do What You Want/Fuck Armageddon... Before the show in Helsinki (2004) me and my friend talked about what they would play. My friend said to me "but hey, they will play at least American Jesus and Generator, right?". And I would consider my friend a fan of BR. When seeing BR after a long time / for the first time most people just want to scream their lungs out with LIKE A ROCK... 03/25/2008 at 08:08 As a fan who lives in Scandinavia it's very hard to me to understand why they should drop Infected/Generator/American Jesus.

pcgamer58 Hippy Killer Location: United States Status: Offline Posts: 189	Quote Yes, that's basically what I'm saying Paulo. But Banjo, I never said to not play the classics like American Jesus and the ones I listed, that's why I said the casual fans don't complain they play those songs every night. It'd be nice if they dropped some other songs that they play besides those (No Control comes to mind...) and replace them with different songs we never hear. That would be good. 03/25/2008 at 02:30 Yes, that's basically what I'm saying Paulo.

Paulo Pilha Guest Location: Brazil	Quote Pcgamer58: I agree with you that is very difficult to change set list drastically every night. But they should change a lot their set list when a new tour comes on. For example: on "New Maps of Hell tour" they should be playing like 12 or 10 songs of that record every night!! And on this tour they could skip "Recipe for hate", "Infected", "Generator" and some other classics for a while for example...(why not?) When the new album come, they should do the same, playing 12 or even the whole record and play different songs from the other tour. And there?s another thing also, I?d say. The band members don?t get tired of those classics every night? I agree that the "theme shows" are fanstatic!!!! But still, there are more than a hundred fantastic songs they never play live!! why? Thanks to everyone who?s leaving comments here and on youtube for this song. I made it for the fans ;) 03/25/2008 at 00:55 Pcgamer58: I agree with you that is very difficult to change set list drastically every night.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that they're playing varied setlists at the moment, and I wish bootlegs would be more varied, but for my first BR show I would want it to be the classics and some other ones, to get the full BR experience. :) 03/25/2008 at 00:10 But even hardcore fans like myself who due to geographical constraints havn't seen BR would want to hear the "classics", even if it's just for the first show.

pcgamer58 Hippy Killer Location: United States Status: Offline Posts: 189	Quote Let's face it, BR is never going to keep changing their setlist so drastically over night. They have so many shows to play that were lucky they are even doing the Themed setlists right now. I wouldn't expect songs like Strange Denial or You've got a Chance would become a setlist standard (Although that would be awesome). BR needs to cater to their casual fans as well as their hardcore fans. The casual fans probably don't complain that they play songs like Infected, 21st Century Digital Boy, or songs like that every night. Although yes I do wish they would drop some of the other songs that they have been playing for a long time and replace them with different ones that they never play. It probably won't happen though at a normal non-themed BR show. 03/24/2008 at 23:08 Let's face it, BR is never going to keep changing their setlist so drastically over night.
