I have returned, halleluja

Well, I don't know what you should call it, but in some senses I am "back". I will from now on start doing updates when I feel like it, adding stuff, and probably slapping up that needed re-design that I've been holding off. It offers frames for easier navigation (that ain't very often :) and some more lame graphics to have you sitting there all day waiting for the damn thing to load.

As for new content, don't hold your breath. I will update the new stuff so that it holds correct information, but I'm quite pleased with what I've accomplished so far. But, you never know, I might turn a new leaf and start doing crazy things with this page.

Please, do contact me, I always appreciate feedback. Later.
(no this is not some stupid April fools thing)

Bad religioners, The reason why this page is so seldomly updated is because there is nothing to update. What I really need is that you who reads this send me all bad religion info, pictures, tabs, and so on that you have. There's a large request for "Into the unknown" tabs. Also give my clues on how to improve and reform this page, I need your opinion. I have the will but not the resources

The tab archive is finally up 
Now i have uploaded all the tabs and everything, Enjoy! 
But I'm still missing tabs from Into the unknown and I don't have it myself, so if you have it and knows how to play the guitar, I'd be very thankful if you send me some tabs.

New Maintainer, that's me! 
As you probably know Petter has decided to step down as the maintainer of this page. And as an effect of that he had to find a new maintainer, and that is me! I'm very glad to receive such confidence from him. Just as Petter I'm from Sweden so please despite my language difficulties. The first major update I will do as the new maintainer is to create a complete tab archive, I have experienced some difficulties but soon it will be up and running! I'm also concidering to put up an art gallery, but that will be a later project. You probably wont hear much from me in a while because I will be working on the tab archive all my spare time. Hasta mañana til´ we meet again!

A New Maintainer... 
I have decided to step down as a maintainer of this page, and leave the responsiblity to someone else, I won´t reveal who it is, but I have great trust in him that he will do a good job of evolving and steadily updating this page - something I have been lacking lately. 

 Don´t grieve, I will still be here... as a sort of Big Brother, watching his every move... and maybe I´ll do some updates now and then.

Some news from Atlantic Records... 
I snapped this up from Atlantic Records Bad Religion news page; 

 Bad Religion is currently pouring over papers and pondering postulations as they prepare to award the first-ever scholarship in the band's name. The special scholarship program was announced by the quintet late last year as a way to endorse and support budding geniuses in the cultural and physical science fields.  

Lead vocalist Greg Graffin, who holds a degree in evolutionary biology from UCLA and is working towards his PhD. at Cornell University, has taken charge of reviewing proposals for field studies as submitted by high school and college students. The group will announce the winner of the band-financed $3,000 grant during this summer's Vans Warped tour - which the band is headlining. The much-anticipated outdoor festival's itinerary kicks off June 30th in Phoenix, Arizona and runs through August before moving on to Europe.  

Bad Religion's summer festival itinerary follows the May 5th release of their new album, NO SUBSTANCE. Road tested last fall during a series of super-discount all-ages New York City club shows, NO SUBSTANCE was produced and engineered by Bad Religion, Alex Perialas, and Ronnie Kimball and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Sugar Hill Gang, The Replacements, No Doubt). The album's Graffin-penned debut single, "Shades Of Truth," has debuted as the #5 most-added single at modern rock outlets nationwide. This past weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, the group embarked on a special pre-Warped American club tour. The current trek finds the band booked into more intimate than normal venues, with ticket prices set at-or-below $10.  

In other Bad Religion news, the group will be on hand at Tower Records on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles following their May 4th performance at the Roxy for a "midnight madness" in-store celebration marking the release of NO SUBSTANCE. Greg Graffin, Brian Baker, Greg Hetson, Jay Bentley, and Bobby Schayer will greet fans and sign autographs until the manager takes their Sharpies away and closes the place.

Against The Grain Special 
Corn-Cob In my everyday boredom I created a background-picture from the Corn-cob with Arrow image on the back of the inlay from Against The Grain. On the thumbnail it might not look so good (follow the link), but I think it's pretty cool to have on your desktop. I have made four version availible to the end-user (woah, nifty industry words there, huh ?); 

 1: A zipped .PSD version , with Layers so you can edit your backgroundcolor, shaded or not and or outlined. 
2: A JPEG version with Black background color. 
3: Another JPEG with White background color. 
4: Yet Another JPEG this time with Gray background color. 

 If you have Photoshop it is preffered that you download the .PSD version, which is more customizable and has a much higher quality.

It's Here! 
Yes! The new album is here and let me say it's different, in many different aspects. The design is somewhat strange, but kind of funny all the same. The design contains 1-800 numbers with messages like "Your future is waiting" etc. You can go to the album section for some more images. Ok, Now onto the vital piece - the music: It's different, when it's slow it's slow, and when it's fast it's really fast, like in Hear It, which Greg's voice almost is lost in the speed. There aren't many downsides of this album, except track #6, Raise Your Voice... I think it's a real pity they chose this as the European single, ... the song is according to me the worst every released by BR, but the quality of this song does not correspond with the rest in any way. After one or two sweeps over it I totally love it. Maybe not their best album, but sureley at the top. 

 I will soon put up a longer review of the album, plus reviews of the older albums.

Ok, now I‹m gonna give you every piece of info I have about the new album: 

 Sweden Release: 6th April (14th maybe) 
Rest of Europe Release: Maybe as scheduled- 4th of April 
US release dates: May 5th. 

 Special version of the album is a fact, at least if you trust my main man over at Sid's Music - he said there had been alot of requests for the album, and the special version.

Video..., a portion



I heard(saw*) a bit of the 'Raise

Your Voice' video, (like 7 sec)

and it was a portion of the refrain

and to be honest I did not like it

that much, at least what I heard 

of the refrain. There was a full-

length version showed but 

unfortunately I missed it :(



Anyway, I‹ll wait til the album 

gets out before I comment it

further.

'Finished this Friday' / Scandinavia Tour





I snapped up this from the BRML ;



>From: Roger Vulture 

>Subject: News

>

>Bad Religion will be completely finished with the album this Friday!



SO, This means we can expect the loveley

new music of Bad Religion soon! YAH! If

you haven‹t heard it, it goes back to the

old Suffer/No Control Recording style,

which results in a wonderful sound. You

can scroll down a bit and find a news

clip of "In so many ways" from the new

album.





The other day I saw a short news clip

on ZTV (swedish loser pop channel) that

Bad Religion was coming to Sweden and 

Denmark (?).. rather ultra cool, cuz

I‹ve never seen them live, so this 

would be like the event of my life!
