Bad Religion‘s Jay Bentley spoke to Jesse and Marty from The BR Page during their recent performance at the Melkweg in Amsterdam. Along with a bit of a history lesson about the band, Bentley talked about the rumours that the band’s forthcoming album would be their last:
We learned a long time ago that we’re not really super forward thinking. It’s better not to make plans for the future. Obviously we have a record coming out in September, that’s for sure. The record is done. If we all die on the bus drive tonight, the record will still come out. So we’ve got this tour that’s booked. On to the process of booking the US tour, that’s now going to start on October 7. That’s the plan. It’s like staying about six months ahead. The only time we’ve really discussed when it stops is that it’s going to stop. It’s not going to some long drawn out farewell tour and a reunion tour. I can’t say for sure what we’re going to do. Maybe this is our last tour. I don’t think so. There’s no discussion in the band that this is it; that we’re packing it up after this.
Jesse and Marty also asked about the Internet, specifically those Punknews.org folks:
I think they’re hilarious! They’re funny. Both Brett, Brian and myself will always go like ‘hey, did you read that?’ And we’ll all have a laugh about it. Brett might get a little bit more upset then others. [Brett indeed posted in the comments once, but no one believed it was him] And rightfully so. You should never believe anything on the internet. That’s why have have that signature. It’s all bullshit [laughs]!”
