		He was replaced by Brian Baker in 1994 during the Stranger Than Fiction tour and started a new band, Daredevils, but rejoined Bad Religion in 2001 when they soon recorded their 2002 comeback album The Process of Belief.

		The big news is that guitarist/songwriter Brett Gurewitz, who started Bad Religion in the early ’80s with singer Greg Graffin and bassist Jay Bentley, is back in the fold for the first time since ’94, when they released their best-known disc, Stranger Than Fiction (Atlantic).
		Gurewitz and Graffin ended up producing the album themselves, and Gurewitz calls it "by far the most fulfilling thing I’ve done in the last seven years." The opening "Supersonic" finds the band at their hardest and fastest, a vibe that persists for much of the disc.
		Gurewitz’s drug problem eventually landed him in LA County Jail on a possession rap; he avoided a six-month sentence by agreeing to spend a year in a residential treatment center, where he got clean.

		Brett Gurewitz was brought up Jewish and became disillusioned with it when he was 9 or 10 years old.
		Brett agreed to stand in for this one show, and he had so much fun he ended up staying on.
		Brett says he personally recorded, mixed and produced every BR record while they were on Epitaph and functioned as BR's manager as well for the first 6 years or so before BR hired one for themselves.

		Gurewitz?s freshly declared love for electronic music may be a surprise, but its timing makes perfect sense.
		Ten years ago, the notion of those acts cross-pollinating with punk audiences would have been ridiculous: Just as Gurewitz kept his appreciation for Numan a closely guarded secret, anything that fell outside a few rigid guidelines was verboten for punks.
		Gurewitz knows first hand how fickle punk fans could be: Bad Religion?s second album, 1983?s Into the Unknown (Epitaph), slowed down the punk tempos and added a mass of keyboards and organs.

	The Memphis Flyer: Steppin' Out Cover Story - October 23, 1997
		Gurewitz at that point admitted he was investigating offers to raise money.
		The band was angered by Gurewitz's admission, and this was what spurred the Offspring to take label matters into their own hands.
		Ultimately what happened was Brett told us, I mean, he sat down in the midst of these kind of heated negotiations and told us he was going to have to sell part of the label at a time when we were the lion's share of [the income for] Epitaph.

		This is Brett writing about how heroin can destroy a person who people think of as strong, but in fact everyone is incredibly fragile and it is tragic when they are not helped to overcome their problems (as he was)."
		I think even in 1989, Brett had overcome many obstacles, and had still managed to be successful as a musician.
		Brett is not very kind about himself in this song, and the main solo riff is unforgettable.

		The band, with Gurewitz back in the fold, is heading for a concert Thursday at the World Café in Honolulu.
		The reunion with Gurewitz is something that seemed fairly remote at the time of the 1994 split.
		Gurewitz is easier to deal with creatively, and he is better able to accept criticism, Graffin said.

		Gurewitz eventually left the band and was replaced by Greg Hetson from speed punk pioneers, the Circle Jerks.
		Gurewitz on the other hand, found himself waging an agonizing battle with drug addiction that saw him eventually in jail, and most assuming he would be yet one more punk rock drug casualty.
		Gurewitz and Graffin had always kept in touch, but as attractive as collaborating again seemed, there were serious obstacles in place.

		It is the return of Brett Gurewitz, who is, I would have to say a relatively important aspect of Bad Religion's history and song writing.
		Brett's return has not only given us that Bad Religion sound that had been put in the back seat, but it is really these two guys working together and playing each other's music that has made everything better.
		Brian: The return of Brett and the return to Epitaph have been very positive amongst both people who have never really had a problem with Bad Religion being on a major label It is really a win-win situation.

		Brett Gurewitz, co-founding member of the band is back, they've returned to Epitaph, the label that loves them best and that they have always called home and their latest album, "The process of belief" is, after a few years of forgettable releases, a fine return to form.
		Brian Baker, who joined the band as Brett Gurewitz's replacement in 1994, agrees that the band is finally back on the right side of the road.
		As regards Brett Gurewitz rejoining the band, Brian, who looks like he could be someone's uncle, but with bleached blonde hair and torn jeans, believes it can only be a good thing.

	Weekly Planet \| THIS WEEK IN MUSIC
		Epitaph founder Brett Gurewitz surely wasn't thinking of building a cultural touchstone -- he just wanted a way to put out records by his band, the legitimately legendary Bad Religion.
		Gurewitz -- who started the band in 1982 with singer Greg Graffin and bassist Jay Bentley, but left to tend to Epitaph in 1994 -- had recently rejoined the fold; it only made sense for the group to return to his imprint, bringing their career full circle.
		Brett" issued Bad Religion's rudimentary, self-titled debut EP as Epitaph's first product the same year that the band was founded.

		In fact, that show-down between the band and Epitaph's outspoken founder Brett Gurewitz was well documented in almost every entertainment-related publication--trade and consumer.
		Those "meetings" that Gurewitz took with other major labels were, as Holland claims, well publicized, but the intent of the meetings was only speculated by the press.
		Brett was offering us a good deal to stay, I've gotta give him that, but I still think it was more of him trying to keep us so that he could sell it to the next guy.

	JS Online: Bad Religion founder has faith in newest release
		The aroma of hype instantly generates a dissent from one of the veteran punk group's founding members: "As a musician, I disagree strongly, as it is outside the bounds of humility," counters Bad Religion guitarist-songwriter.
		During the years Gurewitz, 38, has been otherwise engaged - in part overcoming what he has said was an addiction to heroin - the hard-core punk band he formed 21 years ago with several high school buddies in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley put out three albums without him.
		Gurewitz collaborated with Graffin in writing one song - "Believe It" - for "The New America," Bad Religion's latest album and the final one under its contract with Atlantic Records.

		I had the opportunity to talk to Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion about their experiences in a band that spanned more than two decades and is one of the main reasons why this site is here today.
		Brett: It is mainstream; when I was coming up in the LA Hardcore scene, the major labels weren’t paying attention to our scene, but the first punk rock bands like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols were on a major label.
		Brett: I don’t know how inclusive it is right now, since I’m not kid and I’m that guy from Bad Religion and most kids are cool to me so I have a skewed world view, but back in the day, it took awhile.

	Gurewitz Rejoins Bad Religion - Aversion.com
		Founding guitarist Brett Gurewitz will be rejoining Bad Religion as a full-fledged member on its next alubm, which is set to be released on Gurewitz's Epitaph imprint.
		Gurewitz's return to the fold, as well as the band's return to the label it helped to found in the early '80s, may signal a return to old-style Bad Religion punk rock.
		"Having Brett rejoin the band, and being back home at Epitaph are personally more significant to me than almost anything we have ever achieved as a band," he said in the statement.

		Gurewitz's departure meant that singer GREG GRAFFIN was now left to compose all the songs himself.
		And even relative newcomer BRIAN BAKER, Gurewitz's replacement, gets more in the act this time, generating the chords for five of these 16 cuts; both his knockout "All Fantastic Images" and the bouncy "The Same Person" show the renewed benefit of a second writer, as Gurewitz did time and again.
		Mind you, Gurewitz's lyrics are still missed, but Graffin was always his equal, and appears prepared to grapple with the whole salami of fear and loathing, while hitting a string of intelligent targets with his warnings.

		They formed when bassist Jay Bentley, singer Greg Graffin and guitarist Brett Gurewitz were just tenth grade classmates in Los Angeles and, 22 years later, they're still around.
		But Gurewitz also suffered his own dark days with drug addiction and Bentley thought that the guitarist would never come back to the fold.
		When it was done, I called Brett at work and said that it was a pity he couldn't come to the studio.

		With the release in 1988 of Bad Religion’s Suffer, a co-production of Brett Gurewitz and present Westbeach Recorders owner Donnell Cameron, a new wave of punk began to explode.

		At another meeting with Brett, offspring told him they didn't want to leave the label, but Gurewitz wasn't really giving a fuck since he'd make millions by releasing offspring to Columbia.
