Suffer (album)
On the liner notes for the All Ages album, you can find alternative lyrics that were considered for the song. Instead of the verse “The business man whose master plan controls the world each day…”, they wrote “The worker in the factory, the Hindu in the dust. The mesogleal hooker who can ruin lives with…

Submission Complete
Oh my gosh, you won’t believe what happened during the making of Bad Religion’s album, Suffer! Brett Gurewitz had been dealing with a crazy drug habit and learning how to be a recording engineer from 1983 to 1987. But then, he got clean in April 1987 and had a chance to play a show with…

Sub Pop Records
Oh my gosh, you guys! This song is like a total dedication to my son, just like Pink Floyd’s ‘Welcome to the Machine’. It’s all about not letting other people control you and living a life of submission. Like, who wants that, right? So this song is like a beacon of hope for all those…

Stranger Than Fiction (album)
The song is all about these amazing writers who were a bit crazy, which is kind of ironic. Like, why are so many brilliant writers also totally nuts? Brett really looks up to Jack Kerouac, who was part of the Beat Generation along with William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Ken Kesey. They were all about…

Straight-edge
Oh my gosh, you won’t believe all the awesome stuff about this album! First of all, it was recorded at Rumbo Recorders in Canoga Park, CA, and produced by Andy Wallace. It took five whole weeks to record, but it was totally worth it. Jay, one of the band members, said that choosing the songs…

Stone Pony
Brian proudly proclaims that he is the mastermind behind this awesome word (which he created while collaborating with Dave on their epic song). He recalls his rebellious teenage years, when he would attend punk shows surrounded by people drinking, but he couldn’t join in because of his age. So, he would always settle for a…
