Brian Baker is a guitar playing hero, man.

Couldn't have said it any better ourselves, Fluff!

[@ns2joel]

Him and Stephen Egerton are my heroes.

for me, he and Hetson are THE heroes.

[@davecarsley8773]

I don't even know Bad Religion, but these guys remind me of a true rock band. No vaults full of guitars. No massive pedalboards. Old amps. 1 main guitar and one backup. Ride the volume knob.... I love it!

[@av.punk.801]

Man, if you haven't already, go listen to all of their records. My favorites are The Dissent of Man, Recipe for Hate, Suffer and New Maps of Hell in that order

I mean if you have 2 different tunings you need 4 guitars. 2 mains and 2 back ups. Pedal boards are cool because tuners and other effects. And things like axfx save bands tones of money because shipping physical amps and cabs is crazy expensive. So. I see what you're saying but

[@jprosentreter]

@@thomasmarchese2808 for pure tone, you simply cannot beat Bad Religions approach. IMO, of course!

[@disaudio2431]

Brian Baker, hands down, punk guitar hero Numero uno. Just a couple of Les Pauls straight into a Marshall and no pedals. That's punk rock. Awesome rig rundown!

[@SatanachiaVGS]

“What I am doing isn’t groundbreaking” Maybe, but it touches the mere core of our souls, that’s why we respect you for what you have been giving us with your music. Thank you Brian!

[@jef-fry5787]

Brian B watching Rig Rundown and loved the AC DC one. That is so cool. Salt of the earth guys there.....

[@JesseGosselin]

Loved this Rig Rundown! I had the pleasure of meeting Brian, Jay, and the rest of the band back in 2000. During the half-hour or so I got to hang out with them Brian gave me a piece of advice that I never forgot: "If you get a chance to play in a band like Bad Religion, don't ever leave." I understood what he meant when he told me that. Opportunities to play with great bands don't come too often, so if you find yourself invited to play with a band you love, do it and enjoy the ride. Happy to say I'm still an active 'weekend warrior' and doing some light touring to this day. Thanks Brian and Jay!

[@WilliamFeryll]

He says that in the dvd

[@liamgallagherrr]

I’ll say it again Perry has really gotten good at this gig, very cool episode.

[@cardigansarecool]

Baker’s guitar playing on Dag Nasty’s Can I Say is incredible

[@JinxRemoving]

[@joshpointoh]

If someone has never been exposed to punk music, I always start them out with Bad Religion. The vocals and harmony are world class, the music is so tight and clean, they really are masters of their craft

[@smashogre4766]

Perry... props to you for the excellence of this rig rundown. And Mike, Brian, and Jay I don't think you gents could be any cooler or more down to earth! I feel a Bad Religion bender coming on.

[@tcb_baby]

I've been waiting so long for this. Brian Baker is a goddamn inspiration.

[@fives.]

Brian Baker is the Mr Rogers of punk rock. Incredibly cool dude and musician.

[@irishdrumingkid653]

I’ve watched so many episodes on this channel it’s cool seeing them but this episode was amazing. Everyone was so polite and knowledgeable abt the gear and rigs, tbh I really like how everything was just so simple, just a good ol’ Les Paul plugged into a couple amps and using the volume knob for effects. Jay was so funny just watching him react to every question and like telling BR stories of recordings, Brian was so humble abt his inspirations in the punk rock world and was really chill and personal abt it, Mike was also hilarious in talking abt his rigs and basically talking abt sending guitar pics to Brian and comparing it to “Guitar P-n”. Anyways I loved this, thx for giving me knowledge abt great punk rock guitar tone. 🔥🔥🔥

[@yobhsiFehT]

“They do LEAVE the pedal, so, that shows how far we’ve come. Thank you.” 😂😂😂

[@thestrum71]

Opened up for Bad Religion in '96, in Belgium. Brian had only one guitar with him: a 'factory second' black Gibson LP Standard. It even didn't have a serial number. Their amps were hissing all the way through soundcheck so they asked me if they could use both my JCM 800's. Nice guys all the way for sure. Met them several times after that in Europe/USA, you can not go wrong with BR! Period!

@Scott Smith Stranger Than Fiction is a great Bad Religion album. It's not the label they were on. Brett left after Stranger Than Fiction so Greg had to write twice as many songs as he used to. Greg and Brett work as a team as individual songwriters for Bad Religion.

[@Okla_Soft]

Next to 311, this is the coolest rig rundown I’ve seen. Something about both of their rigs just defies logic on how simple and beautiful a P90 Vintage Gibson junior into a Marshall plexi. These guys are super humble and generous and friendly. Love Rig Rundown.

[@robgreen1818]

Jay is a bass player’s bass player. Total dude. Although he just threw Ampeg under the bus he was honest about it.

[@101airborne07]

I’d be curious what he thinks of the Fender Bassman, Matt Freeman from Rancid plays those and they sound wonderful. Though he has different pickups I guess in his p bass.

[@SpongeBath_ShitPants]

[@evegasse6999]

The more I see Brian Baker in anything the more I appreciate the guy. Great guitarist and seems like just a funny, awesome, down to earth dude. Jay says he likes The New America but I've seen comments from him saying he disliked it and didn't really care for the songs...

[@Sofatronic]

As a young teenager, New America was my first BR album. Thank god for Punk-O-Rama, otherwise i would have stopped there.

[@alexstewart839]

I got drunk and watched the Bad Religion Rig Rundown again. I'm worried I already left this comment. Anyway, Brian Baker is the Platonic ideal of the old guy who makes sure to read every plaque he encounters in a new city and also once had to fight a crew of shitty Long Island skins.

[@simonharwood8488]

Awesome New America anecdotes from Jay at the end. Man is a legend.

"No, it wasn't repaired, it was just from hanging". PERFECT reason for that UV light. Both things will show there's something there. But the glue and the repair will fluoresce, a nick won't.

[@downshift00]

I guess that didn't work out too well 😕

[@evankeal]

I learned 35 years of unknowns too watching every RR front to end. It also took me about as long to learn the power and necessity of rolling off the volume depending on a million things. That came around the time I bought a P90 guitar.

[@Shamrockjason]

Seen these guys a couple months ago .. didn't play many of the old stuff which bummed me out but still rocked the house

[@cojohnso80]

I saw Brian live once when he was filling in for Shifflet in Santa Cruz for Me First and the Gimme Gimmies, and it was like I was in heaven. What a show, what a performance and what a surprise to see him on stage.

[@MuscleDad420]

I actually had the pleasure of working on one of Brian's old 800's from his Junkyard days years ago. The band name was spray-painted onto the metal grill on the rear of the amp and it had since fallen into the care of a studio cat that had toured with REM. It was also bone stock aside from tubes and it needed some new electrolytics -- the old LCR multi-caps had started losing steam and the EL34's in there were not the best for what the owner was after. Also added a fixed resonance mod -- totally reversible but the owner was keen to the idea of a little more low-end. Was definitely a bright moment for me as BR was (and is) a huge part of my early years.

Watching this for the nth time, while assembling a “Junior” from a kit inspired by it. Dimkich (andJamie Miller, for that matter) have the three most crucial abilities: DependABILITY, reliABILITY, and availABILITY.
