These guys should be in the Rock n Roll hall of fame period. Their influence goes so far. From Metallica too Nirvana. They changed the punk sound and made it much faster and aggressive. They gave it that "Hardcore" sound. My first punk show was the Bad Brains in 1981 in San Francisco.
So many bands credit Bad Brains. Beastie Boys entire name is homage to Bad Brains. Black Flags main inspiration is Bad Brains. Just the fact that I see high school kids wearing their shirts they should at least be more widely known.
@@ev1lsm1th They are known here in Izmir, Turkey.
I saw them in Santa Barbara at around the same time. They changed my outlook on a lot of things. Been a fan ever since.
100%
They were nominated in 2016, but never inducted. What a damn crime 👎🏿
You're a lucky young man, finding out about Bad Brains in this day and age. The scope and depth of their impact upon hardcore and beyond probably can't be overstated. Very few people would ever "like" them, but everyone should KNOW about them.
Aw yes, please do more punk. Theres a serious lack of it in the react community, this is awesome.
Most definitely
Great reaction man, and lemme point out that Bad Brains also plays reggae, like traditional reggae, not two-tone ska. They're one of the originators of the hardcore punk sound- see also Black Flag, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Circle Jerks
Saw them live in the 80's and was blown away. Probably the most unique band that pretty much created a new genre called Hardcore Punk.
The Bad Brains are probably a top 5 band for me. They are the original hardcore punks, The album you have as the thumbnail o your background "Roir Cassette" is possibly the most perfect hardcore punk record of all time while HR (Human Rights) the singer of this group is as eccentric and interesting as they come. All of them are mazing musicians and did so much to break barriers and usher in other hardcore bands that were influenced by them (mainly in the DC Punk/hardcore scene Minor Threat, SOA etc etc). Oh and they play reggae too :)
I can talk about the Bad Brains for hours lol
HR didn’t get his name from human rights. He used carry a staff and a Bible, his “hunting rod” Hence HR.
⚡Bad Brains⚡
Bad Brains are so influential people don’t even know.
Bad Brains are your favorite band’s favorite band.
More bands (post Bad Brains) give them props on their albums than any other band. Soooo Influential! My all time FAV band!
Right!!!!! "A Bands Band"
@@MyCheriAnolani Bad Brains was magic...and their willingness to stretch hard-core punk rock boundaries helped a band like Fugazi become possible. Another progressive-style punk band: NoMeansNo (check out their song Humans...fun stuff). Saw them live having never heard of them (my college volleyball coach knew I listened to different music, so he got us tickets to a DOA show...NMN opened & snuffed DOA out. For yrs I sported the shirt of theirs I got that night...it said in huge letters, KILL EVERYONE NOW. Everyone at the Christian college I was at loved it. ;)
@@paulstoliker3303 marry me Paul 😂 I can feel your enthusiasm and it's infections!!
@@MyCheriAnolani it's funny, but nobody who spends time w/me has ever accused me of appearing to be an enthusiastic person. But the fact is that music kind of does it for me. It may not show on my face (which is why the "KILL EVERYONE NOW" shirt was so funny, b/c nobody could ever tell what was going on with me by looking @ my face...so just consult the t-shirt, right?)...but it's there. I'm also a huge mike Patton geek, & I like death metal and quirky movies.
First Hardcore Punk band and one of the best Reggae bands live shows back in the 80's were some of the best
"She's calling you" and "Sacred Love", a couple of other great tracks from that album!
They were a reggae band that ran out of
Places to play in DC, so they started playing punk to get gigs. If I remember correctly they still call themselves a reggae band. DC punk was post English punk. Very cool bands came out of that town
They were, originally, a "Jazz- Fusion" band, named "Mind Power." That was in 1978, which is also the year that they discovered Punk. After discovering Punk, they changed their name to "Bad Brains," after the Ramones song, "Bad Brain," and began playing, what came to be known as "Hardcore" or "Hardcore Punk." They were one of the pioneers, of this new style of Punk. They also added: Jazz, Jazz-Fusion, Funk and some Caribbean influences (Rock-Steady? Ska?), and later, even a little Heavy Metal, into the mix. The frontman, Paul "H.R." Hudson,
and the drummer, Earl Hudson, are brothers. Their father was an American, in one of the branches of the military, so they moved around a lot. Their mother was from Jamaica, and they lived there, for a short period of time. They finally ended up in: Suitland-Silver Hill, Maryland (just outside of Washington D.C.). They went to a Bob Marley concert, when he came to D.C. in, I believe, 1980, and then decided to become Rastafarians. That is when they also began adding Reggae songs, to their repertoire. They are legends in the Punk Rock community, and they influenced both directly, and indirectly, numerous bands, such as: Minor Threat, Living Colour, Fishbone, 24-7 Spyz, Skunk Anansie, and many, many more!
So wrong haha they became rasta and started playing reggae AFTER they were a punk band that started as a jazz fusion band as the other commenter mentioned. It's a widely known fact
They do reggae tracks as well. On their debut album it ebbs and flows between hardcore punk and reggae.
Bad Brains is from Washington, DC. You should also check out the band, Death, & their song, 'Politicians In My Eyes', & as for Living Colour, listen to, 'Funny Vibe'.
This is the BEST ALBUM.....my Top 3❣️Great BOP. Raw & Prominent IS Bad Brains Punk at its finest. Btw they are very Rootsy Reggae as well.
The fact you are playing this and appreciating it too, gives me some confidence that there is hope for us all after all.
"Punk Vibe", yea, back then you'd find 'em in the punk/hardcore section at Tower Records.
Bad Brains was one of the bands, like DRI, who started the punk/metal crossover scene.🤘🏼!
edit:bad brains lp rock for light was produced by Ric Ocasek
Glad you found some Bad Brains!
Another great song from bad brains that’s reggae is youth are getting restless
More Brains!
Bad Brains - Right Brigade.
THE definitive founding fathers of Hardcore
TH-cam Badbrains CBGB's Live 1979. Then watch the same 1982. You will witness the birth of Hardcore Punk. Yes, another genre of music was created by African Americans which doesn't earn the respect it deserves. Respect! In the crowd you might see a young Henry Rollins (Black Flag, Rollins Band), Ian McKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi), and Joey Ramone...(Ramones). They all got kicked in the ass by the Bad Brains and became legends themselves. Badbrains is one of the most underrated bands EVER for their influence on music today.
Bad Brains were pioneers of DC hard core punk. Great band. And I love that you dig into the lyrics.
GREAT break down young brotha! I've been listening to the Bad Brains since the 80s and they are one of the MOST underrated EVER!
Checkout the Bad Brains full live show at CBGB’s 1982. It can be found on TH-cam.
Bad Brains where a band with a message. Punk & reggae... but I'll tell you as a 10 year old white boy that saw this stuff and heard it...they where heroes to me. I saw a black band. I saw guys singing about stuff I saw/did/lived. UNITY.
BAD BRAINS!! Thats what im talking about man!
Badd brains heavily influence the Beastie Boys. You should check out their song day tripper
You gotta react to bad brains live performances, you wont be disappointed
Punk royalty.
Nice to se a smart individual doing these reaction video's - talking about time tricks and what they are doing is refreshing - subscribe.
I've been lucky enough to have seen THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BAD BRAINS here in Aotearoa New Zealand about 30 years ago with my favorite new Zealand band OPENING and top five from anywhere in the world STICKY FILTH who have also opened for suicidal tendencies
AND MOTORHEAD
I'm so glad to see you doing punk, and one of the originators at that! We definitely need more punk bands. I highly recommend checking out Bad Religion ✌❤💫
I second & third that. Preferably pre-1994 or so.
Yup. "I Want To Conquer The World" or "You" would be sick
The pioneers of black punk. Thanxxx man.
Way ahead of their time! Saw them live in the early 90’s and they fu#king slammed! If you want a more polished metal song try “Rise”
Legendary, ahead of their time..Their drummer actually played bass on Billy Joels "river of dreams album..You should check out Biohazard "punishment", if you already haven't
Well, Chuck Treece did. I don't think he played on any Bad Brains albums at all. Probably just toured with them
YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!! PMA!!! The Bad Brains set the bar for all real hard core punk. Their albums do them no justice at all. Though their albums are amazing, their live shows were nothing to be fucked with. They were simply the best. Made all of us white punk rock kids in the 80s pay the fuck attention and get our shit together. Fun fact, the Beastie Boys names themselves that because of the Bad Brains. B-B.... Rock For Light is classic (not the newer bullshit hardcore), true hard core punk bible.
I got my ATTITUDE!
Great punk/ hardcore band. Love these guys. Keep it up.
yes more bad brains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Screwtape - Live at 7th Circle - 5/6/16
How could I have forgotten to mention, their other lead singer was Chuck Mosley..The singer of faith no more who Mike Patton replaced. Small world
These guys had a vibe in the mostly white punk scene that no other band had or will ever have.....4 black dudes that played again in a mostly white punk scene better than anyone else.....period.
I kept thinking while listening to this that the vocals sound a lot like some of Mike Patton's stuff so I looked into it and it turns out the singer for Bad Brains was his biggest vocal influence. He even wrote a recent article about it.
You are not wrong, sir. Mike could do a fun but faithful cover or vox stand-in for this.
one of the best things to ever grace our planet are the Bad Brains
Now that's an eclectic band lol. I love their reggae tracks.
Bad brains are punk hardcore genius !!!!
love "Banned in DC" and "I" from their first album/tape.
Fuck yeah!!
Bad Brains.
🖤
Speak what’s on your mind brotha. Instant subscriber
They mix hardcore with reggae in their sets.
Damn someone did bad brains … awwww yeah !!!
Please continue to spread the Glory of Bad Brains.. They Punk Rock/Hardcore pioneers, been around since 1977. They deserve all of our praises.
Bad Brains play better than almost every other punk band. Of course they also play lots of reggae and sort of nu-metal and other components. They kept going off and on. Not sure about now, I think they're retired. I met the singer HR a few times. They always inspired me
Bad Brains are OG punk at it's finest
One of the greatest bands of all-time. Got lucky enough to see them live a handful of times in the 80’s. That is a real crowd. You were either in it, or out of the building. No in-between!
Still listen to Rock for Light, I against I and quickness a lot.
BTW, bad brains are their own genre. Nobody has ever sounded like them then or even now. It’s impossible.
Hope you listen to more of their catalog and dig it.
Pausing before the start...
THIS should get interesting...
😎
See if you can find the song Universal Peace, and hear Darryl Jennifer do his impression of God, on the bass!
I was waiting for this... HR bro
This is the first reaction channel I've felt compelled to subscribe to. This is some really good content! I didn't see this mentioned anywhere, so on the topic of Bad Brains and black punk bands who should be in the R&R HoF, I STRONGLY recommend checking out an album called "For the Whole World to See" by a band called Death. Even if you never react to it. It's amazing, and there's also one hell of a story behind it.
Bad Brains was influenced by another black punk group Pure Hell. Check them out when you have some time, along with Death and King's X.
You are gonna love Bad Brains singer HR...
You want a 8-10 song brother, check out the live version of Death Letter by the White Stripes under the Blackpool lights. Its a cover of a blues song by Son House. Jack White melds traditional blues slide guitar with hard rock in a way that....all i can say is that the first time i heard this i realized that this was a sound id been waiting for all my life...
Kia ora hello from aotearoa New Zealand hay my brother i found these guys on student radio in 1984 14 years old and it was my left turn right turn moment and 38 years later still have a mohawk and a bad attitude towards authority Skinheads/Racists and just plain old bullies THE CLASH ARE MY FAVORITE BAND EVER my 16 year old son is called Strummer Clash Palace 👍 Hay Cuzz check out THE MURDER CHORD Auckland new Zealand songs to check out are NEXT YEAR'S GONNA BE BETTER AND OR MY BRAINS AND ME have a crack Cuzz i think you will be happy you did. Stay safe and happy my Cuzz
Overstand is a Rasta term for understand. And downpressor means oppressor
Downtempos , chords and then they drop pure punk so that every single person goes mad slam dancing like u dont care, never forget this music is made for LIVE MADNESS
Oooh! Bad Brains! Great band. I’m looking forward to this reaction. They were one of only a very few Black punks bands
That great fuzzed out guitar is commonplace in Punk. Metal typically goes for a more metallic guitar distortion. Bad Brains are one of the top tier bands in the Punk scene. Their first three albums; Bad Brains, Rock for Light, & I Against I are complete classics.
PMA! fuck yeah!
Punk Legends
So watch:Bad Brains, -docu. ARTE tracks..... German /french tv docu....
Bad Brains were not a band. They were a force of nature.
Listen to Terror - Overcome. Intense and positive
Good vid mate. You should check out We Live Here by Bob Vylan...it's hard-core punk meets rap in all the best ways.
Brother listen to I AND I SURVIVE OFF 1983s album rock for light THIS ALBUM IS A TRUE MASTER PIECE OF HARDCORE AND REGGAE and...I and I survive is my favorite reggae song ever and i fucking love reggae Ska and Punk rock
Fuck yeah man.
They do play reggae in addition to punk.
Check out the late, great Lucy Brown from DC.
You are right. Rick and roll came from blues. Blues came from gospel. It’s all black heritage. I am a mixed brother with native. I see and feel our beats in all music.
Nice reaction the bad brains first album is GOAT
Bad brains were seriously talented musicians when almost no punk bands back then were. bad brains would just blow bands off the stage. Bad brains...amazing and yes the would go from hardcore to reggae and then back to hardcore. Most punk rockers learned about rasta from bad brains.
Ps bad brains were big into self help, napoleon hill, think and grow rich and the whole do it yourself movement.
One thing to add, I was thinking about your comment on the low end. You’re correct and this was especially true of punk. Low end wasn’t really a thing back then and if I remember correctly this album was put together with almost no money. As a teen in that era and completely out of my element in small town Indiana our biggest complaint when we discovered punk was sound quality.. punk sound mixes sucked.. we wished for higher quality recordings. There’s been a return to that sound in the past 5 years, they call it LO-FI
DC Hard fkn Core!!!!!!!!
Coming up in the VA/DC scene?! NO ONE could touch this band!!! H.R. was a fucking shaman for the bored suburban kids that all went out and started their own bands (including me).
styled like our generation and how we grew up listening to what we grew up with weird
i like it
D.C. punk at its best.
PosiTraction
Next do Banned in D.C or FVK
Watch the 'Finding Joseph I' documentary. It is heartbreaking but brilliant.
Schizophrenia is no joke.
It was fantastic but damn what he went through and still goes through
I got a bad brains tshirt right before Covid and then went ahead and gained 20 pounds during quarantine. Bummed out.
May as well just get on the covid diet...you'll fit in no time. Falking LOVE BB!
All American music, outside country, is originated in from Black Americans.
If it's not the Omega Sessions' version, it ain't right, I'm telling you.
Bad Brains > Hardcore Punk
Rastafari
Sorry BUT THIS to me personally is some ST8 BUL MANURE lol.
LMAO ya, just not my 'Type' of Genre
Just never got into the Whole Punk scene.
Now the Lyrics on the other hand are to me, something Worthy to Heed.
Probably 1 of the 1st songs that you've reacted to that I give a thumbs down to lol .
To chaotic, lacks any real melody, just ST8 sucks..
With all that being stated, my opinion is just that an opinion and we ALL KNOW EVERYBODY'S Got 1...
J. I wouldn't feel bad if you discarded this lol..
Peaceout!!
Love ALL Y'all!!
They are deff not for everyone, but you gotta admit the playing ability of the members is good. I don't like everything but I try to find something in each peace of music. Maybe the way it triggers ur dislike is a good thing as it helps define what you will gravitate to in the future. Give a few of their other songs, maybe the Reggae stuff? They are LEGEND in the music industry so SURELY all those bands you do like can't be wrong. :}
@@theidajawho I can agree with that. So I will go and check out some of their other tracks..
Thank you.
Remember, Live Steam Tomorrow @11pm. Eastern time zone..
@@killurbluffkillurbluff5570 it's good you're open to more. Don't know if you're more rock, metal, reggae or rap, but ea. of their albums showcases stylistic difference. Banned in DC (the song) has some great work, tempo & style changes as well...the album Quickness showed more reggae and metal...but most of all I'd say just enjoy the frenetic energy and fun they had .
This is a "Bands Band" 🤦haha do you have teenagers yet? Can't wait till you do haha.
