BRIAN BAKER - BAD RELIGION

Favorite Warped Memory

‘98 Warped Tour, Montreal. Something was wrong with our gear and Greg [Graffin, vocalist] started singing “Generator” a cappella - it sounded like every single person in Quebec was singing with him! Whatever was broken got fixed just in time for the band to come in right at the first chorus - a bit of accidental showmanship that was so cool we did it on purpose after that for many years.

Least Favorite Warped Memory

Somewhere in the Midwest, 2004 Warped Tour. Riding my Honda 50 drunk at night at top speed into a chain stretched across the road right about chest high. Ouch.

Who was the first band you remember being starstruck by or just excited to be spending the summer with on Warped Tour?

I’m not sure what year it was but when The Damned came on for some dates I went straight fanboy and would even hang out near their bus hoping to strike up a conversation. Best punk band ever.

Final Words To Warped Tour

So long and thanks for all the shoes!
