| Bad Religion – Heaven Is Falling Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Hey Gallium, You obviously know nothing about Bad Religion. They released their first single in 1979, were pioneers of the LA punk rock scene, and are among the most intelligent musicians on earth. The singer, Dr. Greg Graffin received his Ph.D. in evolutionary biology, and has taught at Cornell and UCLA. Just because you don't understand their lyrics - here's an example: "the anechoic nebula rotating in my brain. Is persuading me, contritely, to persist." or another song on that same album, "A misanthropic anthropoid with nothing to," and from another album, "Going through a world of sad debris, Regard quixoitic reveries of ownership: The blossoming disease of man called tenure and accretion, The ancient western treadmill of deception and derision. But I want something more," and finally, from that same album, "your achievements are unsurpassed you are highly-ordered mass but you can bet your ass your free energy will dissipate two billion years thus far now mister here you are an element in a sea of enthalpic organic compounds" Not that you can pronounce half of these words in your ignorance. Real guitar rif? Don't you mean riff? What is a real riff? Some jerkoff metal showoff lead, or some MI bullshit guitar lead? Let me guess...Steve Vai, right? Tool? Some prog rock pretentious lame shit that only appeals to elitist assholes like you? These guys played music with NO INTENTION of making money. They just did it for the love of music. They are THE BAND who created their own independent record label (Epitaph Records) in the late 70s/early 80s, which turned into the label that released the very first commercially successful album (The Offspring SMASH, which sold millions of copies). Then from there, they didn't sell the label to a major because they were overworked. They kept it indie, and released more albums. That was the first blow against major labels and the greedy industry types. I'm sure you are all about that type of shit, along with Pay-To-Play shows and dressing up in make-up with a top-hat. Right Slash? Yeah, they don't play real riffs, because we (the old-school punks of the 1980s) don't want people like you involved in any authentic punk rock. Keep out of my scene. Go listen to Frampton Comes Alive, and bite me. Oh, by the way - These guys not only released a non-profit single (vinyl 7") in the early 90s with this song and another called Fertile Crescent, but they had the B side as a spoken word album split with Noam Chomsky, who gave a very intelligent anti-war stance. All of this at a time when most people were supportive of the military action for Desert Shield/Desert Storm. They were one of the first to actually bring attention to the conflict from another angle. |
