Bad Religion showed that melodic hardcore could include real lead guitar, dropping short, tuneful solos and harmony lines into fast, three-part-vocal punk. The guitar teams of Brett Gurewitz, Greg Hetson and Brian Baker kept their solos short and hooky, and the band's influence on 1990s punk made that approach a genre standard.
