I got to meet...BAD RELIGION!
Back in late September there was a Dropkick Murphys/Bad Religion concert and naturally, I had to go.
I've always considered Bad Religion as one of the best band out there, and definately the most under-rated band in the history of music and humankind. They've been played for over a quarter of a century and have released classic after classic, and their older albums are just as listenable and relevant to today as their newer albums.
Anyways, after the concert my bro and I hung out near the back exit where both DKM's and BR's buses were waiting...hoping that maybe the security there would let us talk to them, and we weren't the only ones, there were around 4 others. I suppose security were doing their jobs...but when Jay Bentley left the Saddledome, he saw us and came out to us! Brian and Brooks soon followed. Greg G. had to leave the concert right away, if you went to the concernt and wondered why he almost ran off the stage at the end it was because his throat was killing him. :P Hetson was busy and couldn't make it out.
But yeah we talked about a whole bunch of stuff, about what's gonna happen after the concert in B.C. up until the next album (which will be a single CD, not a double like Brett mentioned on the DVD). Brooks is gonna tour with Tenacious-D (he beat out Dave Grohl for the part!), and Hetson was gonna swing East touring with the Circle Jerks. Graffin's gonna be teaching at UCLA. Brett has a bunch of songs ready to go for the next album and Greg was still working on some.
Oh yeah, and when everyone was singing "O Canada" and then it broke out into "I want to Conquer the World", that was totally unscripted!
The experience was somewhat a blur because I was actually pretty tired (was fasting that day and I just got out of an exam to catch the concert in time), and it felt surreal.
Anyways, I finally realized that hey, I could post this on my blog, hence it's nearly a month late. :P
