User Info... they do suck, second wave pop punk music, their singer founded epitaph records (or however it is spelled), which is what hell cat is run through, so basically a lot of shittly bands got major coverage because of these guys... Their shit is all over the radio, and the lead singer has been a heroin junky off and on for years. Just last year it came out that one of their members was stroling the internet trying to convince young girls (underaged) to strip for him on web camera, using his id card to prove he was in the band, and using the band to get them to flash him. Guy is a fucking pedophile. As well the band sucks, they don' do any thing except take really cleache news paper politcs, and lame punk retorhic and put it over shitty pop punk music.

If you watch the whole internet thing with him and the teenage girl closely you can see it's a fake, his shirt changes colour half way through. and Greg Grafin didn't start epitaph, the guitar player, Mr. Brett did. Last time they played here, I was on the same ferry coming over to the island as they were, and I sat and chatted with mr grafin, seemed like a cool guy to me.

just my 2 cents though, think what you want. - Mon, 18 Sep 2006 8:54am Edited: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 8:55am

The thing that bothers me the most about Bad Religion is that they aren't as BIG as the bamd thinks they are. Bad Religion has maybe one, half decent song. The rest, speak for themselves... *Yawn


Most walked out of the 2003 Vans Warped shows right after they took the stage.

Plus I have this *choke gag/forced autographed signed album of theirs... Someone who forced me to give the album to her to have it signed for me.

Well, unlike most pedophiles we read about,the "allegations" against a certin member of Bad Religion have never been proven, and are based on dubious evidence.

That's the problem with you crazy anarchists..., you'd throw away the rule of law and start shooting each other after you've run out "class enemies."

I think I'll go find some video footage of ole' Noise not Bums, alter it in some half-assed way to give the appearance of him in a compromising position with a minor, then spread unfounded and unproven allegations that he's a pedophile all over the internet....

According to dictionary.com rationalize means (nuber 7)
__________________________________________________________
to invent plausible explanations for acts, opinions, etc., that are actually based on other causes: He tried to prove that he was not at fault, but he was obviously rationalizing.
___________________________________________________________

American Heritage dictionary defines rationalize as
___________________________________________________________
To devise self-satisfying but incorrect reasons for (one's behavior): “Many shoppers still rationalize luxury purchases as investments”
___________________________________________________________
American Heritage Stedman's Medical Dictionary
___________________________________________________________
To devise self-satisfying but false or inconsistent reasons for one's behavior, especially as an unconscious defense mechanism through which irrational acts or feelings are made to appear rational to oneself.
___________________________________________________________

As long as you stick to the whole party line of it can not be proven, despite the numerouse allegations, and internet photos, and the fact I even knew a girl that he hit on, then it is alright for you to keep listening to bad religion, even though they have members doing some thing you would (hopefully) concider immoral, and other have stated they would kill other people in horible ways for the same actions.
This is also putting aside all the other resons that people have stated to boycott the band, such as the way they treated locals in the past here in vic.
It sickens me that our scenes preach (and they do) about how sexual assault and pedophilia are so imoral and then they allow pedophiles and sexist bastards to be part of that same scene, the entire time turning a blind eye to the bullshit these bands (and people) do and pretending it isn't happening, using excuses like yours, or the earlier one that it dosn't matter cause the music is good.
Often I hear people making observations about the lack of women, and non whites in our communities and scenes, and then you wonder why with bands like dayglo abortions, BFG, Anal Cunt, Big John Bates, and many others I could list, being poppular and treating women like shit, or objects to fuck. I am sure "punker bitches" really helped, I am sure that none of this has any thing to do with that... I see kids walking arround with patches for bands like skrewdriver, the exploited, fear, or combat 84, all verry right wing bands, and yet we wonder why so many coulored people think all punks are nazis? (note fear was not racist, just verry right wing)
You hear people bitch just as much about scenster crap and all, but when a band like bad religion, the casualties, or rancid comes to town, people rush out to buy tickets.... The local bands are practically plowing over each other to get in line to open for these bands, and we claim to not support MTV and all, we calim to be underground, yet we will continue supporting this kind of crap, cause "the music is good" NO IT'S NOT, It is generic, pop, built on a formula, that usually rips off older rifs and songs, with little thought put into most of the lyrics.

either way, the issue is true no matter what you call it.
Yeah I am white, and was raised in a white neiborhood, with racist parrents, and now I do what I can to fight this inherant racism, but I can not forget that whether I like it or not that is my background. I am refering to people that are not white, call em coulored, visible minorities, or what ever...

the fact still exists, this is a prodominantly white male scene, and racism and sexism exist, and are even some times promoted with in it. I want to see that change.
I feel we need to quit supporting bands that are racist and sexist first, or all our efforts are just superficial - Fri, 22 Sep 2006 3:48pm

So sure NNB, tell people what you know and then step aside and let them judge what to do with that info. I don't believe everything I read on a message board from some guy I've never met either. Especially some guy who's taken to kinda raging (no offence). That may not seem fair, or make sense to you, but try to see it from another perspective.

I've been idealistic my whole life, and I've been known to get pretty preachy as well.. but what I've learned is that it doesn't work. Getting all riled up and sarcastic and condescending and bitchy (not saying that describes you) isn't going to charm people over to your way of thinking. Its just going to make you more frustrated and rob you of energy you could be putting into more effective ways of getting your point across. Also, it'll make you depressed, fixating on people who're defiant, rather than on your successes. Raging will just make you ill and then you won't be of any help to anyone, or worse, you'll give up all your idealism. I'm kinda with you NNB, and I know of what I speak.. I'm on my own warpath!

And I may have said this before on these forums, but I believe that all activists should be given a piece of advice and that is, be careful not to alienate those that are with you, or just about there, by venting all your frustrations AT them. If I go to some gathering and the speaker is getting all angry and directing that anger at the crowd who came to see him/her speak and actually consider his/her views, they're gonna lose them. Maybe I am too sensitive, but I can't take it - its a bummer and worse, it hurts. I usually leave gatherings like that cuz I don't tolerate being yelled at by anyone, whether I empathize with their frustration or not.
I know we're an easy target, cuz we're your audience here, but come on, are people on LiveVic really the enemy? It doesn't really seem that way to me. Its mostly just assholes looking to see who they can annoy, haha!
On that note, I'm gonna go out and dig up some dirt on Hesher so I can wreck your show! - Fri, 22 Sep 2006 6:59pm Edited: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 7:01pm

N' no, I don't think I will change the world by posting on internet forums, but shit, it can be fun to see people react. it is funny, I am occasionlly wrong, but no one ever critisizes those points, they just attack my lifestyle, or spelling.

Haha Macen, nice. Do people on here know you have your own section on the Cobalt board? Hours and hours of.... Macen, in all his glory.

Anyway yeah, I sometimes think everything's a battle with me too, its just cuz I get pissy.
And for the record I think its total bullshit when people on here attack anyone for their spelling or for living off of nothing. I know a lot of people who won't post cuz of their spelling, and they have a lot to say... those who post anyway are inspiring for keeping on. (Same way this tenured university prof I used to work for kept on despite never being able to spell the simplest thing.)

And lifestyle... I often wonder whether most people on LiveVic are privileged & living with their parents, or have inheritances waiting for them. Life is tough and learning that you can live on nothing means you don't have to give in whoring yourself out in whatever ways for (as my friend Eddy called it, "the rent addiction"). And when you do you CHOOSE to with joy because you know that whatever cause you're doing it for is absolutely worth it! YAY! - Sat, 23 Sep 2006 4:24pm

And Sati? You know people who are afraid to post online because of their spelling? Those people are fucking wankers. Why does spelling matter THAT much to them? I think you are lying. I couldnt imagine someone saying "Oh no I wont post on my hometowns music scene onlife forum because I can't spell anything". Liar!

Bad religion sucks. If you disagree... BIG WOOP! WADDA FIDE ABOUDID?

THERE IS FOOD IN DUMPSTERS! If you really have nothing going for you in life that you feel you have to eat garbage, knock yourself out! Whats a little food poisoning to a bum?

I love the following: Skrewdriver, combat84, Fear and the Exploited and I am not a nazi. You, however, are a WANG!

And predominantly in this scene I see mostly coloured people and women.

Though his understanding of music has grown far beyond even rock & roll, on many levels his attitude remains as punk as they come: “Now it’s gotten to the point where I’ll put out whatever the fuck I want on any of my labels.

It's a place that goes against the grain, and we all come from different grains. There's the big one, but then there are the smaller ones in that.
Like, for me, punk isn't about getting messed up and thrashing out. It's just a fun thing to do, but I don't see anything "punk" about it, becuase, well, there are tons of bands that don't get messed up (but still thrash around), and I regard them as "punk". To some people though, punk is nothing more to them then a way to let loose and bring out their rage and anger at, what is usual a lot of different things, the MAN...and Tuesdays. Punk is a lot of things to different people. To me, it is a lot of positive energy, but also a place where communities can talk and exchange ideas about how WE would like to run OUR lives, and not have it run by 30 seconds of democracy every few years. To some, again, it's a place to let go and just get away from what takes them down. It's a party! Bring the hats! - Thu, 4 Jan 2007 5:19pm
