Sounds like beer, Skateboards, hot concrete and bloody knees. Sounds like childhood, first partys, first girlfriend. Sounds like old friendhips, carelessness. And now, decades away, my children are hearing it. Sounds like pride? Yes. Greets from Germany 🤟

[@firemedicforever]

Because wearing spikes, leather, and having a mohawk doesn't make you a punk. Punk is a mindset, a way of thinking and a way of viewing the world.

[@ChrisPBacon9]

Tbf tho when they first formed they did have the stereotypical punk look. But that was almost 40 years ago

[@johanpersson8564]

Fuck YES!!!

[@yoskman]

true

[@Madferit1991]

What band didn't have stereotypical punk look in their beggings :P

[@nwjones1]

Why do some punk animal rights guys wear leather?

[@hilarybilaryboo]

The intro to the live version gives me chills every fucking time.

[@MasterChief-uh5pr]

Ikr! Especially the palm muted part that goes *perfectly* with the drums.. ohh so good!

[@nathanowens3423]

I love that they look like dads. I’m 40, life changes you. But the music always stays the same. Love it!!

[@belltolls1984]

Damn straight man! I'm turning 40 this September, Rock on!

[@Gellis12]

There's a movie called The Other F Word (www.imdb.com/title/tt1790867/) that you should watch, it's about these guys and a bunch of other famous punks growing older and dealing with balancing their musical careers with family life

[@BadReligion9]

When Greg starts pointing that finger you know class is in session.

[@bulletprooftiger1879]

Hahaha

[@benjaminm5232]

still one of the greatest songs ever after all of these years.

[@TaylorMadeN9T]

Brian Baker is such a great guitarist. The man can just simply flat out shred!

[@skelliebeeper5693]

I love that no matter how out of practice Mr Brett is, it just feels good when he shows up. Graffin and him both just light up! And Jay's singing is on point too!

[@craigjohnson5462]

Just hearing Brett sing is a rare treat, love these guys so much

[@cgonneville6677]

Still an absolute ripper of a song. That e major over the vocal melody will always give me goosebumps

[@wayne7001]

I love it when songs evolve. There's a reason these guys still pack venues after 30 years

[@sa.t.2507]

Listened to this as a 13 year old punk. Today as a 33 year old punk i still listen to the same song

[@fuku7044]

I remember watching this when it aired. Makes me happy to know that non punk rockers can appreciate the greatness of Bad Religion

[@Gwygojyn931]

Have listened to punk rock my whole life, and out of all of the celebrities I would want my kids to look up to, Greg would be #1.

[@mikeyokai]

100% yes!

[@evanwear5887]

You posted this comment around the time I first got into BR. 6 years later and Greg is one of my biggest inspirations in life. He inspired me to write punk music and go to college. Without BR's music and Greg's perspective I may have never seen the value in my education.

[@colina1330]

This just proves that Greg Graffin, with the right army behind behind him, cannot be stopped.

[@mjeffbr]

this is the best generator performance man, how come these guys are getting even better?

[@johnnyafm]

Jay's back vocals are on point

[@mjt7231]

Saw them like 20 years ago. That’d already been around for 20 years at that point with so many albums and I’m pretty sure this song was like a decade old. I’ll never forgot them half yelling at the crowd because most of the crowd seemed to only know them from this song and Tony Hawk Pro Skater. It was funny. One of the all time greats of punk and one of the true revolutionaries.

[@charminxyz]

Bad Religion will never get old I just love there music i first listen this song when i was 10 and now im 20 years old its like going back on a time machine :D

[@danielmottadesouzajunior4693]

The best band ever. Listening in 2019, and missing the old days! Big hug to all.

[@SimonFraserGemmill]

My favourite band, one of their best songs.

[@Guercinator]

I love how they are practically old men and they still rock out like they're 18!!! BAD RELIGION FOREVER!!!!

[@lemmingbcn]

Practically old men? That one made me laugh indeed!

[@rickybobby8224]

And 8 years later...

[@provetamin]

@@rickybobby8224 wtf i thougth it was uploaded last week 🤯

[@mecaborg]

1992, 15 years old, garage rock party at my friend's house. Never went back... Greg is a monster.

[@SlasherthraX]

2 of my 4 kids love BR. They are 9 and 13. Its blasted out whilst driving.

[@stats7777]

Best song ever ... like a rock.

[@milox138]

Punk is dad.

[@therevolution91]

Brian Young Punks can't become dads: --> nWo depopulation programme. But: Tight as fuck, buddies!!! 🤘

[@noahgoyette467]

My vocab is about 4 times as strong as it woulda been had I not bought the first 4 BR albums in the late eighties early nineties. Thanks all.

[@souzadecesar]

Most beautiful Am song ever

[@robs6372]

One of the best live bands to ever grace this earth.

[@WilliamYoder72]

Dude same. Fucking mind blowing.

[@grungus7200]

The intro is awesome

[@Independencia-jf8pv]

that's perfection, bloody brilliant

[@airportband]

Generator is my favourite album. its got a unique atmosphere. listened to a thousand times....will sing it along even if im old and dementia´s got me!!!

[@bandasorte6671]

Essa introdução é um arregaço 💥

[@gabrielbarsotti8989]

The best version of this classic!

[@adamformanack318]

thank you,..!!!!!!!!!!!!,.. i got to see this song live,..

[@DavidHughesEire]

Love the way they play so many musically different versions of this song! My favourite one is the one from Germany in 1996, 'cause Greg is at his absolute PEAK vocally, and in the intro, the guys lay off the musical instruments, letting Greg take the intro on his own. It's unplanned, as you can see Greg is a bit uncomfortable when they let him do the intro alone, but it sounds GREAT! (Greg says "There it is!" when the guitar kicks back in and starts playing along with him) Great stuff! It's the generaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-tor! From Davey, HUGE Bad Religion fan from Éire (Ireland) :)

[@mylo-sgaming4045]

+David Hughes ^This!

[@DavidHughesEire]

Mylo-s Gaming Ah, you agree I take it? :) Respect from HUGE Bad Religion NUT, Davey in Éire (Ireland) :)

[@mylo-sgaming4045]

I loved Greg in Germany 1996. Fantastic performance. Sorry, I commented from my gaming channel; forgot to switch accounts. I was born in Sarajevo (B&H), live in country South Australia now.

[@DavidHughesEire]

Mylo-s Gaming Ah, very good! :) Bad Religion are amazing, they were my first favourite band, after I heard them for the first time over 20 years ago (I feel old saying that!).. Nice to meet you and glad you agreed with what I wrote! :) Have a nice day! All the best from your Irish friend and fellow Bad Religion fan, Irish Davey :)

[@DavidHughesEire]

Mylo-s Gaming By the way, hope all is well in the beautiful Bosnia and Herzegovina :) Also hope you are alright in your new home in South Australia, also a beautiful part of the world! :)

[@HHHSOHS]

best live performance ever....that can only happen when you still love and have true passion about what you do after all these years~!thank you BR

[@Melack5248]

No, not even close! Its ok.

[@chris3297]

They took a great song and made it even better. Awesome version!

[@KingBlonde]

Fuck his voice is so good, love how dorky he is as well. Genuine dude

[@beansurke]

finally a good recording of festival version! wahoo! bad religion should never retire

[@PRFTVPunkRockFamilyTV]

This is the pinnacle of beauty

[@nicolasfernandezcastanon9655]

Was, been and will always be my favorite BR song.

[@zcar4me]

Another reason why they're the best, and my favorite, band in the entire world. Long live Bad Religion!

[@KapAguila]

In the beginning, Brett is totally enjoying the band as a spectator. Love these guys who still love what they do!

[@RoughRaiders13]

This was one of the first songs I ever knew by bad religion. I was an eighth grade punk who just got my first pair of world war II combat boots at a flea market. 😂😂 Good times🤘🏻

[@schmuhf]

A dream, really... Thank you for all the great music, Bad Religion!

[@I_am_Jordan_K]

First time I heard Bad Religion, I expected to watch a video of them and see spikes and leather and red mohawks. Instead you get an average joe looking guy with a receding hairline. It's cool though, I dig it. He has a really distinct voice too, which makes it even cooler

[@NexterZulu]

2:02 that harmony is so cool!

[@mauriciohernandezdiaz9825]

3:21 We still miss you, Brooks.

[@rifabagus2820]

Like a rock Like a planet Like a fucking atom bomb I'll remain unperturbed By the joy and the madness That I encounter everywhere I turn I've seen it all along In books and magazines Like a twitch before dying Like a pornographic scene There's a flower behind the window There's an ugly laughing man Like a hummingbird in silence Like the blood on my door It's a generator Like the blood on my door Wash me clean and I will run Until I reach the shore I've known it all along Like the bone under my skin Like actors in a photograph Like paper in the wind There's a hammer by the window There's a knife on the floor Like turbines in darkness Like the blood on my door It's a generator Like the blood on my door Wash me clean and I will run Until I reach the shore

[@punkoso22]

great version of this amazing tune !

[@cristianotravassos1419]

It is awesome!!! The real punk!!!!

[@JoseMMGM]

I always loved punk rock from Bad Religion coz it was like the universe. It looks like a total sound caos but have a lovely rules ruling the noise. I had never seen this live.. And if you can say that this live sound much much much better than the official recorded song, then you said all you can say about a musicians group.. Genious playing a master piece.

[@leonardorocha4487]

epic version !

[@davev7615]

Love this Band who were Atheist before it was cool to admit it and their frontman is a Professor at a University who teaches evolutionary science.
