Got back from the Camden show last night and all I can say is that they were amazing! I dont think I'll ever see them better what I saw last night....I got right down the front as well, pity about the barrier being there as
well.

Bad Religion graced the stage at just after 9pm, after Emanuel in my opinion did a poor job of supporting them...yet another screamo band graces the Bad Religion support slot,and Bentley graced the stage in the kilt and he had his porn star moustache, Graffin was wearing a sleeveless white t-shirt, showing his muscle strength various times throughout the gig.

Graffin said instead of playing what they'd normally play they'd do 'The classics' as they were playing a club show, and the songs came blasting out, and they all looked liked they had so much fun doing it. I cant remember what they opened with cause I was having so much fun singing along, but I've got them all in my head (read below). One guy was asking for a setlist he could have and he got Jay's, and he went on joking 'Im not playing without a setlist'. They also spoke about Reading and Iron Maiden gracing the stage, and for a minute they were playing as Iron Maiden like as they could, Bentley doing the gun thing that Steve Harris does, and Graffin bantering on. One guy also asked for a bass solo all night and about an hour into the set they gave in, but it was done by Mr Brian Baker, who sat down by Brook's
drumkit and played away, and he even played bass for 'Fuck armageddon... this is hell' with Jay on guitar! And after Baker joked 'And thats why I play guitar'....Graffin tried to 'inspire' the crowd with a bit of Cyndi Laupher which he said he heard in the hotel when he was drinking his coffee.... they also joked about Jay Bentley being the most talentless of them all, and Graffin said of all the band he had the longest marriage, of which Jay said after 'She left me!' before putting the loser sign on his forehead.

They left for a brief moment before Graffin did the whole limo joke thing, only to blocked of an exit by Hetson shoving his guitar in Graffins face....and if my memorys correct they broke into Generator, (The normal version, which was cool to hear), and they closed with American Jesus.

I managed to meet Greg Hetson after the show, and I shat myself to be quite honest....I said 'I love you' and he said 'I love you too', I then went on to say I saw them in Holland and he said 'Cool'....I then got a photo and
autograph, spoke to him soon after and was just amazed that I was speaking to a punk legend, and he was like 'Im just a mere mortal'. One guy asked him why didnt they play 'Big Bang' and he said it was cause Baker couldnt play it.

They all liked they had a really fun time playing in such a small cramped venue.

Here's a rough setlist (in no particular order)

Fuck Armageddon This Is Hell
Delirium of Disorder (Jay doing the weird intro voice thing)
Suffer
I Want To Conquer The World
21st Century Digital Boy
American Jesus
Sorrow

Yesterday I went to Bad Religion show in Camden (London) and it was awesome. I came from Croatia just to see them there ( and at Astoria on 29th) and it was worth it. Before the show, we went to the Worlds End pub and had a coupple of pints. At 8.30 we entered the Underworld. For anyone who hasnt been there, its a really small venue (club) with small stage and with space for some 500 people. There was some band opening for Bad Religion ( I cant remember the name) and they were ok. After they finished, there was a break which lasted for like a half an hour and then Bad Religion showed up on stage. The atmosphere was awesome. Greg said that he didnt think many people knew about that (secret show) and that they enjoyed playing in small club. He also said that they were going to put up a club show with lots of older songs (which in my opinion was great). The show itself was amazing. Tight space and pumped up atmosphere. It lasted more than an hour. Between the songs, they joked alot. But this time nothing about the Pope or Bush. They joked about their marryges (spelling?) and at one point Greg even started to sing Time After Time song. It was funny, and he looked little embarrased. Heres the setlist. Not in order:

No Control
Conquer The World
Digital Boy
Atomic Garden
A Walk
Gods Love
Do What You Want
Flat Earth Society
Delirium Of Disorder
Sanity
Sorrow
Anesthesia
Change of Ideas
LA Is Bourning
Kerosene
Supersonic
Come Join Us
You
All There Is
Generator
Suffer
Fuck Armagedon

Encore:

Let Them Eat War
Along The Way
American Jesus
