Bad Religion - Los Angeles Is Burning 

It is truly an all time great song by the most underrated band in the world. Never truer than today, brilliant clip

As someone who lives in LA, this song becomes seasonally relevant every year around now.

Super relevant again.

20 years later and LA is still on fire

My dad introduced me to this band when I was a kid. He said any band whose lyrics make you look up the words in a dictionary, that's a good band.

I cry every time I listen to this song, March this year my dad took his life and him and I used to listen to this in his car going to school and everywhere else. I listen to this every night to remind me that my dad loved me.

The best melodic hc/punk old school forever. This song and voice going into a future for generations!

"How could hell be any worse" subtle nod to their first album

gotta love this vocalist. he just makes me happy by singing anything. really. love these guys.

Super relevant right now.

Bad Religion changed my life and perspective. When people ask me what my favorite band of all time is, I say with pride "BAD FUCKING RELIGION", the greatest and most influential punk band of all time.

Bad Religion I want to my thanks for the many years and amount om music you have made and played. I am a So Cal Gen X Punk ! Beach Local surf, vert skate and snow boarder listening to Bad Religions great Old School Punk and it all today. KEEP IT UP as long as you can. I just turned 50 and still Punk and proud. Thank You

Personally this is my favorite Bad Religion song by far. They have many other amazing songs but this sticks out as my absolute favorite. Probably cause this was the first one I heard.

This group is awesome. Simple as that.

Somewhere high in the desert near a curtain of a blue Saint Ann's skirts are billowing But down here in the city of lime lights The fans of Santa Ana are withering And you can't deny the living is easy If you never look behind the scenery It's showtime for dry climes And bedlam is dreaming of rain When the hills of Los Angeles are burning Palm trees are candles in the murder wind So many lives on the breeze Even the stars are ill at ease And Los Angeles is burning This is not a test Of the emergency broadcast system When Malibu fires and radio towers Conspire to dance again And I cannot believe the media Mecca They're only trying to peddle reality Catch it on prime time, story at nine The whole world is going insane When the hills of Los Angeles are burning Palm trees are candles in the murder wind So many lives are on the breeze Even the stars are ill at ease And Los Angeles is burning A placard reads "the end of days" Jacaranda boughs are bending in the haze More a question than a curse How could hell be any worse? The flames are starting, the camera's running So take warning When the hills of Los Angeles are burning Palm trees are candles in the murder wind So many lives are on the breeze Even the stars are ill at ease And Los Angeles is burning

This song is increasingly timeless...

This song has stuck with me for 16 years, since the 2004 San Diego County wildfires rained ash on us all. My heart goes out to all those in the paths of the fires on the west coast.

more a question than a curse how could hell be any worse...fuck man golden line right there....

With all the wildfires in California and the blackouts this is the song that comes to mind.

This song is fire. Literally

Best album ever. I'm a catholic too. Just shows you don't have to be atheist to respect this guy. And that I'm not a closed-minded fool.

I love the "How Can Hell be Any Worse" as the climax in the bridge, a wink to their early stuff. I love little meta easter eggs like that in songs. It reminds me of NOFX ending "All His Suits are Torn" with the hook/chorus of "Leave it Alone".

Had this song stuck in my head all day. The opposite of a problem!

It's November 2018 and it's happening again!

what i love about them is that there lyrics are intelligent. a lot of punk bands dont have the most intelligelible lyircs, but there still good; but its the lyrical power of Greg Graffin that makes this music so great!

Somehow this song never gets old. I love this song so much

Bad Religion have a gift for melodies

My grandparents lost their home in the Woolsey Fire. This song came to mind... Hope you Malibuites and folks from Conejo Valley are safe.

bad religion's music videos were pretty unique and original

First BR tune I ever heard. Absolutely killer. “More a question than a curse, How could hell be any worse?” 🔥🤘🏻🔥

I Love the style of this video. Graffin for President 2016.

killer song. seen this band more than any other. will always rule🔥🔥

Such a masterpiece by a band full of genius minds! Love you guys!!!

God I love this song. That tasty bass riff at about 2:00 is awesome. This was the only cd in my car for like 2 years, never tire of it.

IM GONNA MARRY THIS GOD DAMN FUCKING SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O melhor som do Bad Religion 🤘

Fu**ing awesome! Love Bad Religion: great lyrics, great music, great attitude. And live, they really kick a**! I saw them in a club in Hamburg with no more than 400/500 people. They created more energy than an atomic power plant!

Love the visuals of the camera man flame thrower and the camera headed person. Also love the headlines "is media coverage of LA destruction too negative". Couldn't have actual news with this level of insight.

It’s our City Anthem and a yearly event!

raise your hand if you love these guys

Relevant once again

love it

First off, awesome song. I love me some Bad Religion. Second off, whoever edited and made this video, just give them an award. I don't know which award, but give them an award of some kind. This video is fantastic and I really feel like it needs to be mentioned.

Eu vi essa música no filme desespero profundo, foi tão emocionante ❤❤

Battle of Los Angeles, the most peaceful , punk rock song to write about los angeles burning which it is right now, just not in visible flames.

Yes this is an amazing song by an amazing old school band and even topical for the entire west coast nowadays...

Such a powerful video. Really. The peace dove burning? The media devices spewing fire? Just....so good. Plus the style of the video is pretty awesome.

Underrated song from an underrated album.

Best band ever! And I am a dedicated metalhead.Their lyrics are Amazing and it is my favorite bandnext after Die Toten Hosen and Toy Dolls.

I got to see them open for Offspring last year on the Summer Nationals in Boston! This song is fucking amazing.

Meanwhile, LA is literally burning 🔥

Sending love and good vibes to Cali right now!!! 💖💖💖

L.A. is in a post-apocalyptic world as we speak. Literally. The hills of los Angeles are burnin'..

These guys are epic live...saw em in Auckland NZ

This song keeps becoming super relevant

Again...repeat. Love this song!

2:24 RIP little pigeon friend

Holy shit! I cannot believe this song is that old. I remember when it came out!

Top das top nostalgia pura saudades dessa época maravilhosa

Igual es un poco tarde pero quiero pedirte un favor que vayáis al decathlon y me compréis una cubierta mixta para carrera y caminos y una cámara ambas de26 si podéis ya se que es tarde es porque aquí son más caras y para no traerlas en el autobús solo si no os supone mucho problema sino dejarlo muchas gracias de todas maneras

This song comes to my mind every time a new forrest fire starts, which is more often that I'd like to admit. There's one going on in Canada right now and all the smoke from it is floating down to NY making the sky turn piss-yellow and making the air neigh unbreathable. Maybe it's a little gauche to think of a song as soon as something like this happens, but it gives me at least a little peace of mind.

So dang cool it is

This was how i I discovered BR - on a free giveaway Kerrang cd and fell in love immediately. What a band 🤘🏻

Super relevant still

the best song ever!!!

Greg is one of the best rock singer, of any subgenre, Period

Greg Graffin is one of the most intelligent lyricists i've ever heard

Epic song. L.A. is truly burning right now... gnarly winds and fires 🔥...

Every couple years this song manifests as reality

I saw them on this tour, at The Warfield in S.F.. GREAT SHOW!

December 2017 Yes it is.

Very apt song today!

I found this on a search for a different song that’s driving me crazy, but this is a song that my step dad had playing in the car when I was younger so I decided I’d stop my search for the other song for now until I can ask him tomorrow, but this song gave me some comfort since it’s a song that I didn’t think I’d hear again even if I didn’t look for it

This video pleases both my ears and my eyes.

Montenegro Rs, Brasil is burning !! kkk bad religion é foda uma das bandas q eu mais gosto !

Amazing song, amazing video.

Their best song ever by far

Totally awesome video.

Useless trivia: Tom Petty's guitarist, Mike Campbell, played the solo on this song. Cool story behind how that came about.

This song never stops being relevant, sadly.

Punk rock will always be relevant in one way or another

YOU GUNA LOVE EM !!! eVERY SINGLE RECORD IS FULL OF KNOWLEDGE AND MAGESTIC MUSIC AND HARMONIES !

Still relevant 😪

This song is just AWESOME!

Manaus is burning (em todos os sentidos, calor da porra)

マジでかっこいい！

How relevant in 2020. Anyone notice "plague" and "feel the burn" on the t.v. screen in the music video?

went back to listen because of the obscure and insane relevance to the massive fires in LA now, love you bad religion ❤

Driving down the 405 in LA tonight, this one's terrifyingly up-to-date.

So intelligent and so forthright. Amazing lyrics.

Both the song and music video aged really well.

I used to listen to this as a teenager. So many memories 🥰

R. I.P lost Angeles

I’ve lost this song twice now . I entirely forget about it every now and then . Refinding it makes me so happy.

During this heat wave this video is an accurate portrayal of Los Angeles.

Still one of my favorit Bad Religion songs, hope they play it this year

This song has become totally apt in 2023

Temazo aguante bad religion

Os caras são tão fodas q até quando querem ser pop eles acertam

Was 14 when BR released their debut album, but I was into metal at the time. I just discovered them (beyond the radio hits) in 2023. Wish I was with them from the beginning and had grown up with them.
