Here's the unreleased Bad Religion song i promissed. Please write a line below if you know about this song already.
I've got this song and info from Ben Z. Here's what he wrote about the song:
The cd is called "Bad Religion unreleased LP's". It starts off with "Moonshine Whisky", and also contains Universal Cynic, and Dream of unity. There was no release date written on the CD, and the artwork is minimal. Just a big WB emblem on the front cover of the cd.
Oron, who owns the original cd found it at a garage sale, and purchased it for 1 American dollar because he had never even heard of this cd. I can pretty much assure you the Brett had nothing to do with the CD because of the other songs on the album. My guess is the cd was made in around '98, but never released. How it wound up a garage sale no one will ever really know.
So there it is. I will give you more info, as I get it on the cd. All the info was just recalled since Oron is out of town, and just recalling this off the top of his head.
It has a southern country sound to it. I know Greg was influenced by folk style music, but this is way beyond that. It truly is like nothing I have ever heard before from the group. It definitely is bad religion, as I have seen them over 20 times, and have all their albums, etc.

Thanks |

Where can we find this Ben Z. or Oron M? We need a better copy of this! The mp3 that's floating around is terrible!

hmmm well...its different, but still...i mean what the fucks going on here lol??? My initial reaction to this song was 'wtf?', and it remains 'wtf?'

don't forget that bands might write & record 30, 40 songs for a record and ditch all but 14 or 15. We could be listening to a sort of BR "Dominated Love Slave".

The videos were from guitar.com
|
|
10/17/2004 at 21:45
also, fuck claudio and anybody who sounds like claudio.. nobody could do graffin that well
Have you ever heard him sing? I would have said it's impossible for anyone to sound that much like Claudio either, but someone did it. |
|
10/17/2004 at 19:46
therightclique - I remember seeing those videos too, and you're absolutely right. Baker does talk about liking to play bluegrass. I've listened to the song a lot more now, and the solo definitely sounds like an LP. I'd love to know what head he's playing through on the rhythm part, though. Definitely sounds unusually thin for an LP.
|
|
10/17/2004 at 13:54
i don't remember which site it was on, but there's a series of guitar lesson videos that baker did a year or so ago .. might only be two videos.. but in them he talks about how when he's not playing br songs, he likes to jam back porch shit like this and he even plays a sample on a white gibson lp... i guarantee you that you can get lps to sound like this, but whether its him or not, i cannot say.... also, fuck claudio and anybody who sounds like claudio.. nobody could do graffin that well. its impossible. not only that, but i downloaded moonshine whiskey like 10 months ago and it sounded like greg then too... i doubt they'd consider this a bad religion song, even if all members are playing.. i'm sure it was never really meant to be part of their catalog

"Greg G": You know it's really uncool and also illegal to impersonate other people right?
when did he said that? |
|
10/17/2004 at 06:10
The more I listen to it, though, the more it sounds like Baker's playing style on lead guitar. Also, did anyone else hear that fiddle in the beginning before the lyrics kick in?
|
|
10/17/2004 at 06:07
Thanks for the upload! Definitely sounds like the real deal on vocals to me, but what surprises me is that the guitars sound like Fender Strats. Baker and Hetson play strictly Gibsons. Brett, however, sometimes plays a strat. Could it be that he was in on this song? Additionally, it's very bizarre that it was a Warner Bros. release. When did BR have ANYTHING to do with that label whatsoever? Interesting stuff!

All you motherfuckers are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Bad Religion fucks who are bootlegging our song, we're gonna make 'em eat our shit, then shit out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made 'em eat. Then all you motherfucks are next. Love, Greg Graffin.

Who is singing then? It's clearly Greg Graffin.
Not necessarily. I have 7 acoustic "Coheed and Cambria" that you would swear 100% is Claudio singing, but they are confirmed to be fakes...You wouldn't know from listening to them though. |
|
10/15/2004 at 11:29
i actually believe it?s BR, but another thought: couldn?t it be a Greg G. solo effort?
(counter argument: the rest of the songs on that strange record are all by the full band.) |
|
10/15/2004 at 10:22
I don't buy it as being real to be honest. Show me a comment by a member of BR confirming it real, then I'll believe it. After the hoax with the acoustic Coheed and Cambria demos.... I don't buy it :/

By the way if you really need hot girly pics I suggest suicidegirls.com ... search for girls by interest, more than a few list BR in their favorite bands.

This is just a folk rock song
written for the people who just can take a joke like rednecks in a distillery we do our share but there's so many other fucking morons out there and this is just a folk rock song! |
|
10/14/2004 at 23:14
it'd be nice to have a good copy of this song. the one i've had for a year or so is low bitrate and kinda muddy... this one has a lot of pops and cracks and its wma. it'd be nice to find a 192k mp3 of it.
|
|
10/14/2004 at 22:54
Love it or hate it, you've got to admit it's got some of the most beautiful harmonies ever made.
What was Bad Religion doing recording something for Warner Bros. Records? Does anybody else find this strange? What other hidden tracks does Warner Bros. Have. TH-th-th-That's All Folks! |
|
10/14/2004 at 20:32
Hahahahaha this song sure does suck.
|
|
10/14/2004 at 20:11
bye bye LA-hardcore, welcome mtv-something-rock
That was just idiotic, someone needs to learn to notice jokes, Moonshine whiskey is clearly a joke song, and to that, pretty nice. |
|
10/14/2004 at 19:30
wasn?t simian going to post naked pics now? PUCKER UP MAN!!! don?t up the ante and come up with nothing in the end.
am i stoked about that hot-ass girlfriend of his! |
|
10/14/2004 at 18:09
Here are the lyrics as I heard them. I think they're pretty fucking close. The only part I can't get is when Greg says something that ends in "boys" before he repeats the chorus at the end.
Bad Religion - "Moonshine Whisky" Get off all that sacchrine. Moonshine whisky you bring me down You didn't come north, you didn't flow south You stayed in Dixie where you belong Moonshine whisky you done me wrong I need a bottle before I bed I need compassion to heal my head I need a reason cause I got none Some inspiration to keep me goin' Moonshine whisky you bring me down You didn't come north, you didn't flow south You stayed in Dixie where you belong Moonshine whisky you done me wrong Moonshine whisky you bring me down You didn't come north, you didn't flow south You stayed in Dixie where you belong Moonshine whisky you done me wrong, whoa you done me wrong |

wtf is this :| :D

10/14/2004 at 13:51
The empire get 3 out of 5 from me. There is no "broken" or "sorrow" on it. But I'm glad they don't make a lot of songs like this. But maybe we will hear a new version of this on Greg's 2nd solo album :P I mean "american lesion" were songs " that didn't fit on the other BR records' that would be FUN!

10/14/2004 at 11:56
great song!
I love country-rock.. It would be fun if the next BR record was more different, maybe something like this.. The sound of "the empire.." is so boring, it sounds like a pennywise record. Bad religion are so talented that they should try something new |
|
10/14/2004 at 05:03
Ok i believe i got the lyrics for this song...
Moonshine whiskey, you bring me down. You didn?t come north, you didn?t flow south. You stayed in Dixie, where you belong. Moonshine whiskey, it done me wrong. I need a bottle before I bed, I need compassion to heal my head, I need a reason cause I got none, some inspiration to keep me going. Moonshine whiskey you bring me down. You didn?t come north, you didn?t flow south. You stayed in Dixie, where you belong, moonshine whiskey, you done me wrong. (Graffin says something in the background. That I wasn?t able to interpret) Moonshine whiskey, you bring me down. You didn?t come north, you didn?t flow south. You stayed in Dixie, where you belong. Moonshine whiskey, you done me wrong, oh you done me wrong. |
|
10/14/2004 at 04:39
which part?
|
|
10/14/2004 at 04:18
Does anyone know what Graffin says in the middle of the song? I can't quite make it out.
|
|
10/14/2004 at 03:59
That was kind of cool. Any one else think of the Dukes of Hazzard!
|
|
10/14/2004 at 02:59
Someone needs to find the lyrics, that's a funny song, hopefully they don't choose this style of music for their next album!
|
|
10/13/2004 at 23:59
Ya but we invented whiskey so clearly we're right :P and no the Scottish didnt invent it, it was Irish monks... uisce beatha: the water of life...
|
|
10/13/2004 at 23:15
And they even spelled whiskey right too!
That depends. American whisky is spelled whisky, and Irish is spelled whiskey. Scottish is also spelled whisky I think. Am I totally lost? And am I the only one who liked Mama said by Metallica? Nice ballad. Who cares about genres anyway? |

"Get off all that saccharine." He says it all Adam Sandler-like.
The first verse sounds like a parody, but the second one sounds almost serious. I don't know what the hell to make of this. Please God, don't let Bad Religion go country like Metallica did. |
|
10/13/2004 at 17:17
Sounds like:
"Get off all that saccharine" |

10/13/2004 at 13:28
Hehehe
 Great! Thanks for sharing it with us! |
|
10/13/2004 at 08:15
hey oron thanks for sharing and for giving us a piece of music we have never heard (for most of us).
i will lisen to the song again and try to decipher what graffin says. anywho, look forward to the info on the song and the non lp tracks. do you by chance remember the others on it? |
|
10/13/2004 at 07:29
Hello, my name is Oron. I am the owner of what might be the worlds only copy of "Non LP Tracks", a 4 track freak on nature featuring Moonshine Whiskey. Ben and I have been huge Bad Religion fans for many years so you can imagine my excitement when I found this puppy. It was definatley the most excited I've ever been about finding a new album. Anyway, I'm glad it's now in the hands of loving Bad Religion fans. I'm over 500 miles away from the original CD which has all the info (tracks, dates, etc...) but will share them with everyone as soon as I get them. Does anyone know what Graffin sais right before the guitars begin on Moonshine Whiskey? Something about Seagrum Seven? Peace

It looks like Ben from the U.S. was right all along, but how did he know?
Ben, regale us with your tale....... |
|
10/13/2004 at 00:20
that CD might be worth alot of money
|
|
10/12/2004 at 22:40
you guys have never heard this song before? i thought it was common in everyone's collection.. i would've shared it a long time ago. the copy i have is low quality, but this one has pops and cracks in it.. plus its a WMA.. ugh...

10/12/2004 at 22:39
Thank you!

Ty, you have to download Winzip or something like that. Windows XP will do it automatically.
|
|
10/12/2004 at 21:53
yes different and very good none the less. another reason why bad religion is so talented.
hey kris...what else did this "unreleased lp" contain? any other unreleased songs other than universal cynic, dream of unity...you know we have those already. thanks for putting this song on! |
|
10/12/2004 at 21:25
How do you unzip it so I can listen to it...?
