1. Generator

   Generator is a Foo Fighters song, released as a single in 2000 from their third album There Is Nothing Left to Lose. The single was only released in Australia and also released as a limited edition single in Europe. The song is particularly unique among the band's work because of Dave Grohl's implementation of the talk box in parts of the song. The usage of the device was partly inspired by Grohl's admiration of Peter Frampton and Joe Walsh, both of whom helped popularize it in the 1970s.

   A generator is a device or mechanism that converts mechanical energy, or other forms of energy, into electrical energy. This is often achieved through a process known as electromagnetic induction. Generators are commonly used during power outages, in vehicles, or in any instance where grid electricity is unavailable. In the context of mathematics or programming, a generator can also refer to a special routine that produces a sequence of values.

1. Generator

   Generator is the sixth studio album by the punk rock band Bad Religion. Although the album was completed in the spring of 1991, it was not released until 1992. The reason that the album's release date was pushed back was because Bad Religion was not happy with the artwork and packaging, and in order to release it, they went through ideas that were scrapped. Generator was the band's first release with drummer Bobby Schayer, who replaced Pete Finestone during the Against the Grain tour. It is also Bad Religion's fourth and last album not to display their classic font on the cover. Like Bad Religion's first five albums, Epitaph Records released a remastered version of Generator on April 6, 2004, with two exclusive tracks that were taken from the split 7" with Noam Chomsky issued by Maximum Rock'N Roll in 1991. On the same day, they released a DVD reissue of their long-out of print live video Along the Way, which was also released in 1992. These versions feature Finestone on drums, making it his final recordings with Bad Religion. As of 2008, the original CD version of the album is out of print. A video was made for "Atomic Garden". It is available for watching at Epitaph web site. This was the first video Bad Religion ever released.
