    Whoa, Fugazi and Bad Brains! Reacting to actual punk! Bad Brains were the "house band" for the legendary CBGB's venue. The video of their 1982 concert there is like getting punk injected through your eyes. A reaction to the first 10 minutes of that would be awesome, since the songs are way too short for a normal reaction.

      I literally just found out about this band bc of the STEVE-O podcast on YT. He has the legendary comedic actor Fred Armisen (SNL, Eurotrip, Portlandia) on and they got into a top-5 punk albums and on FREDS list he mentioned BRAD BRAINS - I AGAINST I and Steve-O yelled outloud that it was in his list too! Fred went on to say that they might be the best punk band EVER and after listening to the whole I Against I album that was release in 86' - I AGREE. THEY ARE THE SOUND that ALL PUNK imo should be molded.
      Rolling stone on their WIKI page said that BAD BRAINS is the mother of black hard rock bands. I believe it. They are truly a hardcore punk, alternative metal, Punk rock group fully by African Americans and FUCKING ROCK harder than anyone before them to my knowledge.
      The Wiki page also said that the Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Guns N' Roses, Soundgarden, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, Deftones, Clutch, Green Day, the Offspring ALL WERE HUGELY INPSIRED BY BAD BRAINS. Without Bad Brains SO MANY LEGENDARY BANDS to come in the 90's would not be the same.

    Bad Brains formed in the late 70s and were a ferocious Hardcore punk band until the mid 80s, when they incorporated a more "Metal" sound into their music. All of the band became Rastafarians in the early 80s and they would usually play a few reggae songs during their live sets. I saw them play live in 1982 and they were absolutely phenomenal, one of the best live acts I've ever seen. If you want to react to one of their earlier songs, I'd suggest "The big takeover" or "Banned in DC".

    Not the song I probably would have started with (especially for reactions), but glad you have dipped your toes into the Bad Brains waters. They are as punk as anything, as pioneering as anybody, and as influential as The Beatles. So many artists...from Ian Mackaye to Henry Rollins....From Beastie Boys to Dave Grohl.....were influenced by Bad Brains. Check out other songs by them! I suggest Supertouch/Shitfit (my favorite), Pay To Cum, Attitude, Sail On, or FVK (Fearless Vampire Killers). That whole ROIR Sessions album is OUTSTANDING. That said, any Bad Brains song with HR singing is great by me....even if the reggae stuff is a little wonky at times.

      I saw them many times, the more weed the more Reggae I was told but probably more HR needing meds. That said they had a few killer reggae songs, the live daytripper/shes a rainbow, hell even when BB did MTV Springbreak with a live performance of I and I survive I think.

    See lyrics below.
    In the quest for the test to fulfill an achievement
    Everybody's only in it for themselves
    When the fact of the matter
    Is they just don't care
    To extend a helping hand to anyone else
    So tell me why, did you have to lie
    And try to make me all confused about the U.S.A.
    When the fact of the matter is you just don't care
    To comprehend or understand a single word I say
    I don't want to have I go against I
    I don't want to have I go against I
    Oh let me tell you
    The same old story, no factual glory
    I against I against I against I
    And I say I don't like it,
    And I know I don't want it
    I against I against I against I
    Almighty watching, almighty watching
    I against I against I against I
    And I say I don't like it,
    And I know I don't want it
    I against I against I against I
    I said who's gonna tell the youth about the drugs
    About the drugs, mugs, bugs, and the police thugs
    About the rotten stinkin' rackets and the fantasies
    Around the nation, around the nations
    Oh baby what you gonna do
    I tell you the truth is looking straight at you
    I got a brass continental with a 300 Z,
    Two color t.v.s, now a video too
    I got a rest home in Jamaica for my fantasty,
    For my family
    Around the nations
    What you gonna do...

    In 1977, two years before Ian McKaye’s first band Teen Idles, the Bad Brains kick off DC hardcore, (check out the DC Hardcore documentary, Salad Days, streaming on Tubi and available on Amazon Prime.)
    Though they, and perhaps specifically the singer, are a bit problematic, they are still one of the essential hardcore bands of the era. Remember, that same year Rod Stewart tops the Billboard 100, and he is in the company of Barbara Streisand, Andy Gibb, Eagles, and Abba.

    A SUPER important band, whose influence is present in many, many, many popular and successful acts that followed. These guys defined American Hardcore Punk music in a large way in their era, and were godfather figures to multiple important scenes in American underground punk and hardcore music. I would have suggested starting with a different song, from their first record. Their live performance of "Big Takeover" at CBGB in 1982 is one of the most insane performances I've ever watched, and really better captures their sound (or at least the one sound of their many sounds that they are probably best remembered for).

    Bad brains is considered one of the greatest Punk bands ever. They put on an awesome live show. They chill the crowd out by playing really good reggae after a few hardcore punk songs. Later they did a thrash album called “quickness” which is one of the main reasons grunge even exists

    Bad Brains couldn't get any legit bookings so they went to the low scale venues where punk bands played and they found a new audience. Back in the day there wouldn't be just one band on the ticket; there would be three or four and Bad Brains would sometimes be placed in the middle of hardcore thrash bands. The crowds loved them.

  • @sukhbir6246

    I discovered them when Quickness came out in 89. I was a thrash metal kid and that all changed in an instant - I become a lover of Hardcore Punk all my thrash metal albums went out the window and in came punk and Hardcore music. Yes, possibly one of the greatest / most important bands of all time. Had the honour to meet HR in London a few years back - he is such a lovely gentle shy soul. Lovely channel btw.

    One of the most violent shows I ever went to was Bad Brains in Tijuana at Iguanas. The opening band was Daddy Long Legs and I was told it was HR's younger brother singing...cannot confirm. The pit was incredible and violent at the same time. A bunch of skins were kicking the shit out of long hairs and blood was everywhere. I was not a skin...but I had short enough hair I was not a target. The show...WOW... BB was on it that night.

A Black guy who was a classmate was an audiophile who liked Motown, Joe Tex etc. I remember buying an Album at a local store .I bumped into him and he wanted to know what I had . He looked at it and he said “ Oh the new Black Sabbath album.I asked are you familiar with them. He said “ You guys obviously don’t know this but black guys love hard rock .”

    This was the best record I ever heard back in 1986 and It still is by music and Lyrics wise. Brilliant Musically constructed starts slowly like unfolding beast before get to incredibly rhythmical and dynamic speed, the band throw few cool bad brains guitar and rhythm riffs before they change to higher gear. This two kids have no idea they are listening the masterpiece of the history ...

    I literally just found out about this band bc of the STEVE-O podcast on YT. He has the legendary comedic actor Fred Armisen (SNL, Eurotrip, Portlandia) on and they got into a top-5 punk albums and on FREDS list he mentioned BRAD BRAINS - I AGAINST I and Steve-O yelled outloud that it was in his list too! Fred went on to say that they might be the best punk band EVER and after listening to the whole I Against I album that was release in 86' - I AGREE. THEY ARE THE SOUND that ALL PUNK imo should be molded.
    Rolling stone on their WIKI page said that BAD BRAINS is the mother of black hard rock bands. I believe it. They are truly a hardcore punk, alternative metal, Punk rock group fully by African Americans and FUCKING ROCK harder than anyone before them to my knowledge.
    The Wiki page also said that the Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Guns N' Roses, Soundgarden, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, Deftones, Clutch, Green Day, the Offspring ALL WERE HUGELY INPSIRED BY BAD BRAINS. Without Bad Brains SO MANY LEGENDARY BANDS to come in the 90's would not be the same.
    Now put Bad Brains, Scorpions, and Foreigner in the R&R HOF finally! Its a crime these men arent inducted!
