I literally just saw them at a show in April. Bad Religion is one of the most profound and thought provoking bands. They wrap it all up in a few minutes what takes an entire conversation.

Eddie Vedder and Johnette Napolitano (Concrete Blonde) on the backup vocals. They call them the "Oozin' Aahs" in the liner notes. Eddie Vedder also sang lead on verse 2 on "Watch It Die"

I don’t know if this has already been said. I Confused, t was laid out in the first two lines: father, can you hear me? How have I let you down? The meaning is, he’s blaming his father for putting the weight of the world on him. And somewhat asking for guidance.

The American Jesus for so many ppl is actually the US Dollar... "one nation under God...''

The lyrics are a tiny bit off for the backing vocals in the breakdown section: "strong heart, clear mind [not "too high"], and infinitely kind"

They remind me of Modest Mouse when it comes to conplex lyrics.

Really have to suggest another song from this album (the whole album was huge to me). "Struck a Nerve", as much as "American Jesus" puts a focus on some of the religious bs. "Struck a Nerve" is much more about a broad swath of the reality of human life. Johnette Napolitano has such great voice, but only pops up in the coolest places.

Mika seems like a naturally cheerful person; do we really want to hit her with, "Struck a Nerve?" Don't get me wrong, "Struck a Nerve," is a Top Three song, for me, but goddamn if it doesn't convey utter despair and hopelessness. The first stanza is brutal.

@@brandonjames412 The vocal interplay with Johnette Napolitano is so epic. Really one of the most ba people on the planet. And really, if you're listening to Bad Religion for the first time, you might find some of your ideas challenged. Might as well take it right in the face.

@@littlejimmy7402 Don't get me wrong; my worldview is very close to what, "Struck a Nerve," is getting across, but I don't know to what degree it's actually trying to challenge anything. Challenge the concepts of hope and optimism, I guess. The lyrics are just bleak.

I think she is closer with the "seperation" argument then that literally Jesus built it.

You would say this is their most well known song? Over 21st century digital boy? Over Sorrow? Over You? Not talking shit,just genuinely curious...is this song really more well known? Cause I guarantee a lot of millennials at least know You because of the Tony Hawk Video game. Is this really their most well known song at this pount?

@DastardlyHamster 2 ай бұрын

It's their most listened to song on Spotify, at 58 million versus 56 million for "21st Century Digital Boy", but there are many people who don't use Spotify, so it's hard to say! "You" is third at 49 million, so I would imagine a compelling argument could be made that any of them are most popular. Good point about being on Tony Hawk!~Liam
