Brett Brett, also known as Mr. Brett, is like a superstar in the music world. His nickname, “Starbolt,” has been with him for years and he even used it when he joined IRC. You can find his name proudly displayed in the liner notes of albums like Suffer, No Control, Against The Grain, Generator, and many others, where he is credited as the legendary Starbolt. But that’s not all, online he goes by the name “Oblivion Pact” on platforms like Flickr, Twitter, and last.fm. On MySpace, he’s known as “brettosis.” Brett is not just a name, he’s also the inspiration behind the song “Billy” and the character Billy Gnosis in another song named after him. He’s even credited as Billy Pilgrim on The Seeing Eye Gods.
Moving on to Brian, his nickname on message boards is usually “BB” (also here on TheBRPage). On MySpace, he goes by “pilgrimdoss” or “SENOR TAPAS.”
Brooks, on the other hand, is known as “b-wack” or “jakeeasy” on MySpace.
Greg G. has a unique nickname listed in Cornell’s Network Identity Directory, “Aludensparglemein.” The directory also mentions his activities in college, which include investigating the origin of bone tissue and traveling. The nickname doesn’t have any specific meaning, but it sure is interesting. He used to go by “gerg” on ICQ and it’s believed that he also used the name “Graffinius.”
Greg H. has a cool nickname on Twitter, “Hockeypunq,” and on MySpace, he’s known as “agingpunklegend.”
Lastly, Jay has quite a collection of nicknames on message boards, including “jabberwock,” “uniblick,” “jdb,” “geust,” “chud,” and “Yeust.” He’s a man of many names, and he used “Yeust” on the old chatroom and first message board from the now extinct official site.

I’ve been lurking on that site for over 20 years and if you’re into Bad Religion as much as I am, I’m sure you’re familiar. If you are not, go there right now and never come back to this site again. You should, and I totally understand.
