Bass Teacher Hears BAD RELIGION for the First Time! "EPIPHANY" Reaction & Analysis

---------------------------------------------------
➡️ Bad Religion sounded nothing like I thought they would. I was pleasantly surprised at their sense of melodic songwriting kickstarted by a beautiful bass intro from Jay Bentley. Our patrons threw out many song suggestions for this band when I asked, and I just picked the longest track length I saw - and - I'm really stoked this was my first impression of the band. I discuss Jay's soft-yet-gritty bass tone, his approach to the song's intro, the effective tension used during the pre-chorus (almost a diminished sequence), a music theory analysis of the song's chord progressions, Jay's use of contrasting articulations under the guitar parts, and much more! 😮💨🤌🏼

Bad Religion basically invented three part vocal harmonies in punk and are probably the most important band in modern punk (they coined the “forbidden beat” and introduced lyrical depth and melody in a way rarely done previously). You’d be hard pressed to find a post 80s punk band not influenced by Bad Religion (Fat Mike will tell you, with no shame, that he made an early career off trying to sound like Bad Religion). This track isn’t necessarily the best representation of their overall sound, but it does show off Jay in a great way. Process Of Belief was kind of their “comeback” album after a few poorly received major label releases and is still considered pretty groundbreaking. Great stuff as always!

Exactly what I said over on the patreon, he is the definition of a steady bassist. He also understands the talent around him, Brett, Brian, and Greg Hetson (who was on this record) are INSANE guitarists. They all are 3 of the most dynamic guitarists in all of punk rock and as such, Jay understands instead of being a lead figure, with that talent its best to often sit back and let them shred.

In your reaction, you metioned they straddle "light' vs "dark" with the song. I feel that that is a very good evaluation of Bad Religion's music. Greg Graffin (lead singer) said in an interview that he tends to write music that has much "darker" tones. However, when he brings a song to the band to build it out, they tend to try and move the song towards a "lighter" tone (more melodic, more major). So this compromise creates a light and dark which exists with a lot of their music as a result. It's a really cool dynamic.

Most of BR's songs are fast, hardcore punk, but they're always very melodic and even their heavier songs pack in a wide variety of influences. For your next reaction to them, I would definitely second the recommendation of Turn On The Light. It's a short song, but it packs a hell of a punch and features a Jay Bentley solo. Or, if you want another mid-tempo one, I think Shades of Truth would be a great choice.

I have been waiting impatiently for this reaction ever since you spilled the beans on Patreon. Bad Religion is another band much like Rancid that really changed my focus on music. When I first saw “Infected” on MTV in ‘94 (when I was in 4th grade) I had my parents take me straight over to Wherehouse Music to get a Bad Religion cd. I think I ended up actually getting “All Ages 80-85) before anything else. Just a great band with a great discography. A couple misses in-between but for the most part you can pretty much put on their entire discography and not have to skip through many tracks at all. Genius band, genius songwriting and very intellectual lyrics being their singer Greg Graffin has a PHD and used to be a professor at UCLA and Cornell University.

The first thing you said after hearing the intro was key. They are absolutely very melodic. They created the "melodic hardcore" subgenre of punk rock, really starting with their album "Suffer", released in 1988. Their first releases, the self-titled EP (1981) and the "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?" LP (1982) were very straightforward hardcore, followed by their attempt at prog rock, the aptly titled "Into the Unknown" album (1983), and then their return to hardcore form in 1985 with the even more aptly titled EP "Back to the Known". "Suffer" blended their hardcore roots with their desire to have more melody and harmony in their music. Both Greg Graffin (vocals) and Brett Gurewitz (guitar) were big fans of prog rock, including Jethro Tull and King Crimson, so they put some of that layering of sounds into their music from that point on.

BR is just perfect and so melodic. Jay is so entertaining live and his playing is incredibly fast. I wish his playing stood out more live but they are in incredible band.

Jay Bentley may be the most underrated bassist in all punk rock. Dude is an absolute beast.

One of the first songs I taught myself to play when I picked up a bass for the first time, now write everything Bentley style. Man is my God

Thanks for the video!! Jay is a very good punk rocker bassist! He do what a punk bassist have to do, when he need to be creative he do it, when he need to support all the base of the song he do it. Getting Brooks to drums was a huge change in the songs, he style is different from Bobby, it becomes more evident in the next album after, "The empire strikes first". Pleeease make a video about Championg, from Charlie Brown jr. Google for "tarja preta" or "como tudo deve ser"

Dude, for Bad Religion, one of the best bass verses ever written on the song "News from the front" from Stranger than Fiction record. The lines and phrasing is 🤌

First 3 tracks in this record make me want to run through a wall. One of my favorites

The way Jay moves under everything reminds me of how John McVie does in Fleetwood Mac. For unbridled rage I would say Sometimes I Feel Like off No Control. Shades of Truth is another good bass intro song of theirs on No Substance. Los Angeles is Burning and Lost Pilgrim have this "sproing" sound in the bass which I love. Most BR albums are recorded with a '78 P bass. Met Jay at Namm many years ago cool guy.
