Bad Religion - Who We Are

Go to www.myspace.com/conflagrationmedia to see a higher resolution version of Bad Religion's "Who We Are" music video, which I produced, wrote, directed, filmed, and edited for a class assignment in less than a week at a cost of less than $25 (not counting the thousands I spend on tuition).
Please comment and rate . . . I'd like to hear what you really think.

How was this song ever a B side? It is comfortably in my top 5 BR songs ever.. and that is an illustrious top 5!

[@Wyattporter]

The two best songs from Bad Religion’s best album weren’t even on the album

[@bullion78]

All 3 b sides of Who we are, leaders and followers, shattered faith are in my top 5. Other 2 I'll nominate, struck a nerve and... Umm.... I'll go with "You"

[@stevebond7387]

News From The Front is my favorite b side, love that song.

[@Calypsol86]

It became some sort of a habit that I try and watch this on my birthdays. Today I'm 31. The music and the video still means the same to me as they meant several years ago when I first saw it. Ageless.

[@dreveicambit3983]

thats a lovely tradition, and i may try it out. This video hits me very existentially.

[@jfit44]

This song rocks and meaningful to me....plus Brooks is the best drummer.

[@SpongeBath_ShitPants]

1:52 Sometimes Jay's bass fills give me heart palpitations.

[@kaalmansur]

+Queef he does that very good

[@FabricioEGiovanni]

It maybe a signal that you need to visit a doctor lol

[@SpongeBath_ShitPants]

@@FabricioEGiovanni Only if the doctor can prescribe something that makes me a better bass player.

[@FabricioEGiovanni]

@@SpongeBath_ShitPants 😂😂🤘🤘

[@marekprochazka1284]

I come back to this song and video every so often. It really affects me personally. Years ago, I once had the exact same moment when I lit a cigarette and burned a picture from heartache. So surreal to see it here. ❤

[@TheMentalBrute]

My goodness, how this song didnt make it to the actual albums is beyond me.

[@bowlsallbroken]

BR have a bad habit of burying some of their best work as B-sides and export-only tracks. This is easily one of my favorite post-holy trinity BR songs. The songwriting and frenetic performance are top notch. This video is great, btw. I've been watching it once in a while for at least a couple of years now.

[@ParadoxBoxx]

you know it's old when there's a myspace link in the description

[@philsmith3019]

This along with the other BR track on punkorama 8 put me onto their legacy. I haven't looked back since.

[@antoniooliveira9068]

Another masterpiece from an eternal band. I love them since I started listening to their music in the 80´s.

[@KingNothing85]

I think bad religion is the greatest band ever! If you agree, thumbs up! ;)

[@ukgreaterlondon]

I ENJOY FANTASY CREATURES, THE SAFETY OF ANIMALS, THE SAFETY OF PERMANENT PLANTS. GOD IS NOT JUST.

[@PankyMeVil]

How can you not love them Bad Religion forever

[@ChromeColossus]

I've owned this song for a few years, but all of a sudden I've been singing the chorus for the last 8 hours.

[@sheldoninsane]

i can"t stop playing this song,it has to be one of b.r"s greatest .oi! oi!

[@frod79]

the ending to this song is one of my favorite song endings around... Greg's crooning... Brooks' little triplet drum fill... Great band great song great video.

[@palmtrees2420]

Heard this song when I was 10. I'm 27 now and it means so much to me.

[@Aliownz3467]

best punk band ever

[@AlissWinter]

I have just come home now from their concert here in Germany and they rocked like hell!! They have made such a great show.

[@joaquinballen6881]

It's cold again, it looks like rain A procession of humanity, strikingly simian Saunters by, I can't explain Why it's troubling to see them so Oh better than who we are with mania And yearning for and learning from Oh better than holiness and candy aisles Of loneliness and sweet revenge A cigarette, a memory All connections to the permanent are burning The pedestal gets in the way And cannot withstand our honest scrutiny Oh better than who we are with mania Or standing for or dead against Oh better than holiness and candy aisles Of loneliness and sweet revenge

[@A2Z83]

love this song. should have been on an album.

[@brunoccs]

I'd love to hear this song live.

[@punkgra]

I'm a big big fan of Bad Religion, i'm from Argentina and whish them come back to make a concert here and i'llbe there!!!

[@antonyroquefeler]

piel de gallina...

[@3055DOG]

2:00 - There are those, there are those who'd think That drastic actions will make them unique It's really all the same That no one's happy and nobody's to blame.

[@Mafon2]

best homemade clip i've ever seen

[@tilidin]

For all of you who do not understand the song, it is a anti suicide sog, is is talking about talking revenge on being a mortal by not taking your own life, beucause that is the only way the system can win.

[@Anthony16Bit]

i agree bad religion has alot of values and alot of sense in their videos and lyrics and they inspire me alot

[@sk8rdad73]

@2Grobie After 20+ years of listening to Bad Religion, they've become the only band worth my time anymore

[@viaxident]

tHIS IS definitely the best fan-made video i´ve ever seen. congrats

[@abdulhussein7455]

best BR song

[@piotrprokopowicz]

fully fledged bad religion video. respect.

[@jhonny1231001]

im hitting the "like" button tons of times so other people could hear this!and because its my favorite song

[@PipisonichG]

best song eva!

[@gdinoteimoso]

This video its really great, and this song...I cannot find anyword to describe what I feel when I'm listen to... It's my favorite song...for sure!! The vocals, the guitar solo and the drumms...gee its so huge this song!! Beats me up! For songs like this one, its impossible to accept that phase "no Bad Religion song can make your life complete..."; without any, my life for sure wasn't complete!

[@Shado286]

This song is a good song by Bad Religion it's one of my faves

[@MrPartThree]

I have known this song for years now but I just realized the hawtness of the bass in the bridge.

[@Sacco26]

still one of my fave Bad Religion songs - punk o rama 8 was great cos it had 2 hard to find/unreleased BR songs on it

[@pentagramburns]

man... can't say how many times i've watched this video.

[@robsondavid9135]

espetacular esse som...punk californiano Bad religion

[@NoDirection888]

Yep it's from process. There's one other song which, like who we are, wasn't on the europe or US release, called shattered faith (tis similarly awesome.)

[@IEA_455]

BEST BAND EVER !!!!! Such prolific lyrics.............Anyone else a bit upset at there new album? but an album like "into the unknown" is fucking genius "hippy like album" especially after such punk albums as Bad Religion and How could hell be any worse......................... God damn...................................

[@punkgra]

excelente cancion!!!aguante BAD RELIGION!!!!

[@danin900]

that's some badass guitar riff!

[@search895]

Yeeeah. I didnt know this song. One of the best of last Bad religion work. The video is nice and deep.

[@akidne87]

I want more BAD RELIGIOOOOOOON

[@Marchegiani5]

Trebalo mi dosta da skuzim da su b sajdovi od proces of belief....nikad cuo stvar....Klasik...

[@dreveicambit3983]

I want you to know that i think that this is in total accordance with the tone and feeling of the song, the lyrics, the content. Especially the all in clusive macro perspective flashing imagery. It works excellently as a juxtaposition with the micro and all of our little problems that we make so big and take so personally. I have to say, i loved this so much i made my own copy so i could watch it and listen to it whenever i want. I especially love the part at the end with the black and the white fading while the world saturates with a new brilliance as our main character chooses wisely to walk away. Which, side note, for me being such a huge bad religion fan, made me feel like it was a reference to another bad religion song, walk away. :P I love this, its excellent, and i hope eight hundred thousand more people experience it. Great work.

[@autistica1]

@patrickai it is on a punk-o-rama album along with shattered faith, maybe their best song ever.

[@Superturrican]

We are here, the true bad religion fans, who prefer this song to the more popular American Jesus

[@tritoch21]

one of their best songs

[@davidgasparetto8813]

Just a pure,Brilliant job you did with this video. If there was a shred of Justice in this world,your tuition would be zeroed out on grounds of this little "Art-Project" alone. :) ;)

[@RandomComicGuy]

That was a damn good video. You should seriously send it to Epitaph and see if it makes it onto one of their DVDs they plan on releasing for the band.

[@23rdParadox]

2:03 freeze awesome photos. 2:14 Universe is a great juxtaposition etc. AWESOME!!!

[@saitojoao]

best video clip ever

[@alexroberts1285]

Watched the video a few times and read description after... so this isn't an official video? Its really really good!

[@Seyiun]

Nice feeling for the song,you uncovered the soul...so to speak

[@PonFET444]

Now that was what's called an Epic Pwn, thanks for that, Dave

[@UsualMike]

The protagonist kind of looks like a younger Jay Bentley.

[@pawwbla]

Have you sent this to the Bad Religion dudes? I think they'd totally love it. It's amazing. And of course, the song is one of my favourites too.

[@HawnixArtistry]

Such a great song

[@billygnos9]

It's from The Process of Belief.

[@luisqsk]

Like this song so much

[@maz8maz]

very nice song!!!!!

[@jsh020]

this is hardcore to me, they dont need to scream or any other crpa like that to let out their hardcore/ punk roots,

[@lnavitka]

You're going to have to think a little harder to explain Bad Religion....that's the beauty of the band.

[@chrip07]

Brett. You basically own everything. This is seriously SO GOOD. CEMC for life.

[@butchstoneyrock4379]

Beautifully written once again, BR never disappoints! Satisfied.

[@Deztitute]

@b443556 The last line of the song is "sweet revenge", but that could clearly mean one of a million things. I think explaining the story of the video would destroy the moral ambiguity that makes it great.

[@lozzyloveyou]

holy crap! that was fantastic, im a huge bad religion fan and youve done the song proud!

[@tinsk8]

WOW!!! que buen Track!!!

[@joseignaciodiazl]

when i got into this page i though another crappy fan video ... but man your video is really really great, you should seriously think about becoming a video director, congratulations from a very grateful bad religion fan, nice art and interpretation work

[@bloodthirstyrocker]

yea, generator is the best, but they are all awesome.

[@hughoverend]

This video is just so good. Some a bit on the nose references but have always loved the trigger in then out and gun drop sequence. Amazing work.

[@ePRmu]

amazing song, amazing video

[@CallMeKazu]

Amazing editing, you did a great job on this.

[@Raynebowfish]

Very well done, it fit the song perfectly. I didn't see that you had made it, and thought it was a professional shot video. Great job!

[@bloodthirstyrocker]

Hell yeah! (i have 9cd's and one dvd)

[@wind11011]

no words, its amazing

[@lansky111121]

@Lordoftheflies234 it was a single off of one of the punk-o-ramas (i think it was #8)

[@NewWaveTactical]

@2Grobie bad religion is a pretty cool guy, eh plays music and doesnt afraid of anything

[@sammanuel6673]

I love this.

[@mauROHO]

Good Job!!!, i love this song.

[@paszka21]

so fantastic

[@SwedesUnited]

this kicks ass...nice job!

[@TheSplitNation]

What's wrong with a little polite criticism? He didn't attack the person in any way, and there is always room for improvement. For a project done by a student, I'd have to say it was pretty good. I really liked the colouring at ther end. Honestly, it was better than many of Bad Religion's videos. Quite frankly, their videos tend to suck. Their music is amazing, though, and that's much more important than a good video.

[@RollForeverr]

bad religion is amazing, greg graffin is my idol

[@ash0ppingcart]

@superclipper95 It's a b-side from Process of Belief

[@Zsuigres]

Great!

[@Rockozbomb]

this is a awesome song and the guy that made it looks anof like young greg graffin to make it work

[@thiagobozo1980]

This song is note from any BR album, isn't it?? I've never heard this one before

[@thiagocamposdeoliveira2531]

The song shows the humanity's existential poverty today. In giving up suicide, the song symbolically shows that what we have left is to move on with our lives and be as happy as possible. What do you think about it?

[@lesserGodplease]

@SticksTheFish47 i would start with the album Suffer then Against the Grain and No Control... all BR is pretty good but any real fan has these 3 memorized.

[@thepossiblelight]

wow internet tough guy, you really showed us! can't wait to see the video you produce!

[@Xaode]

Amazing video for an amazing song. Nice work and keep up the good work. PS. you can find this song on Punk O Rama vol.9

[@dsafian]

I really think that you did an amazing job. Bad Religion should buy your vid and make it official. Very Cool vid!!!!

[@larselhefe]

amazin song

[@Tmaniax]

omg it makes me crying

[@morganverge]

That was beautiful,

[@Philsfan83]

Could I suggest that if you don't have the budget for true replicas of weapons, go with painted airsoft next time. The BB gun handgun is the only part of the video that really jumped out at me. Airsoft looks far more realistic and with some editing can be indistinguishable in shorter cuts. Other than that, I liked it alot!
