They played The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY in 1981 and I snuck in by carrying equipment in from a local band called The Fatalitees. Best memories?
HR emerging from a cloud of smoke from behind stage and as the band started playing he stage dived and knocked EVERYONE on the floor over and made it
back onstage in time to sing the first verse. Few live bands give me chills and the Bad Brains were one of them.Discipline - 6-30-2005 at 01:14 PM

its even better then the cb's videoTodd - 6-30-2005 at 08:54 PM
Rock For Light, i against i, the ROIR tape. 'Let me Help' off of i against i kept me going when i was homeless in Philly.JawnDiablo - 6-30-2005 at 09:01 PM
i always liked the bad brains. dr know's guitar playing was incredible, HRs vocals were insane. my favorite is the self titled disc (with the white
house on the cover) and i aginst i...funny fact i read in a boof called american hardcore, the vocals to sacred love were sang over the phone while HR
was in prison...that whole record was great...i remember seeing the soul craft video on headbangers ball back in high school. i never saw them
live..wish i had though, but by time i was really into them, it was really time o pack it in.SHAKO KEN - 6-30-2005 at 09:54 PM
funny how no one considers their post '89 stuff as real bad brains. i have to agree though. one of my all time favorite bands.Jason the Magnificent - 7-1-2005 at 08:28 PM

Nope. It's true.forsaken - 7-1-2005 at 09:44 PM
word to the brains.
rock for light is my fav, it's just got soo many good songs on it.
I reckon I've spent more time in the past 5 years trying to play the sailin on solo, than looking at porn and eating food combined.newbreedbrian - 7-1-2005 at 11:09 PM

right on, i figured you probly seen it. damn i bet that 81 show ripscary thrasher - 7-1-2005 at 11:56 PM
anyone remember when hr freaked out and hit a skinhead with a microphone stand?
the dude was just standing there watching them play and hr swung the fucking thing
like an axe and came down on the dude's head. the liner notes of the omega sessions
cd credits it with ending bad brains once and for all. (well, before soul brains) that
happened here.clevohardcore - 7-2-2005 at 08:11 AM
He flippeed out here in CLEVELAND too. During one of his SOLO shows in 90 or 91. He jsut started throwing shit all over the place and left. What a
fucking shame. Bad Brains were great. I still hope they pull it together.tireironsaint - 7-2-2005 at 04:09 PM
I've always loved Bad Brains, I used to try to pick up on normal girls back when I was in high school and I'd tell 'em I was gonna throw on some
reggae and then I'd play the Brains....it was always good fer a laugh, but it never did work out....
Favorite records would definitely be Black Dots, ROIR Sessions, and Rock For Light, they got kinda silly after that. Too much religion and HR's
insanity kicked into overdrive...
I saw HR in a Denny's once back in Austin, he was sittin' in a booth with three or four little high school aged girls about an hour after they played
a show on that first tour after he rejoined the band, that shit was funny.Monkey_Julius_BoWaffle - 7-6-2005 at 05:12 AM
The roir sessions are amazing
call me crazy, but rock for lights prod. on a lot of the material gets on my nerves - I FAR FAR FAR prefer the Roir versions of the songs that appear
on both - I & I Survive kills on RFL however
Black Dots kicks ass
that Victory Records release (was it Omega Sessions or something like that?) kicks much ass too
an essential release (if you can still find it) is the "Live" album SST put out - it blows away "Youth are Getting Restless" and the other live
releases I've heard - I got the cassette years ago and actually transferred it over to CD last year
"I Against I" is another essential release - this album makes me wanna get all spiritual and shit!!!! Too bad Stryper could never make such an
emotional (that is truly EMOTIONAL and NOT widespread crapola adoration- and I have nothing against Stryper I just can't imagine them hitting the soul
the way a song like "Let Me Help" or "House of Suffering" does) impact on the X-tian community they claimed they were always trying to reach -
I was actually disappointed when Quickness came out - in retrospect, I appreciate it more now than I did when it was released, but it's still nowhere
near a match for the stuff that came before it.
I got the "Rise" album that doesn't have HR on it - it sucks minus maybe one or two halfway decent tracks
also, the God of Love album is crap - avoid it
Going way way back, I also have a couple of old 7''s that I think might have a song or 2 exclusive to 'em that are pretty fucking cool
I also have an HR solo album that I have actually never listened to a note ofmoron - 7-6-2005 at 03:35 PM
the first Bad Brains I heard was "Rise" and it was terrible. I didnt listen to them again until I heard Rock for Light a while back. The production
on that album is so thin, but the songs are awesome.
good fucking band.Dan of Pain - 7-8-2005 at 08:19 AM
probably my favourite band of all time.
love all their stuff, got the shirt, got the tattoo.
i against i was the first one i bought, along with the live sst album.
its way too hard to pick a favourite, but i guess rock for light comes pretty close to no.1, followed by i against i.
if anyone likes a bit of reggae then the i and i survived dub cd is cool.Ungodly - 7-8-2005 at 09:03 AM
Eh, they are OK.
JAY KAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the reggae too.BDx13 - 7-8-2005 at 09:07 AM
yo, is JAY KAY 'just kidding'? cause if it is, and i figured that out, i'm a little afraid of myself.JawnDiablo - 7-8-2005 at 11:14 AM

It stands for JK, which stands for, you are right, just kidding. But if you spell the acromyn phoenetcially, it seems these days, you are making fun
of it, though really using it too.
And see by explaining this tongue-in-cheek I am adding another level of the aloof and ironic, while being somewhat self-deprecating. I am SO ready
for some "loling" and "pwning" and messageboard "domination."

Supertouch is one of the greatest hardcore songs ever written.
Have any of you seen Fearless Vampire Killers? the do BB songs very well.Killthehumans - 7-10-2005 at 12:12 AM
hammer bros does a killer right brigade cover...i only mention this cause right brigade is my favoirte BB songSAAAAARS - 7-10-2005 at 01:11 PM
outbreaks sailin on is pretty sweet. outbreak covers bad brains a lottttttttttttThats Life - 7-11-2005 at 09:14 AM
KYI covered B anned in DC the other night. Bad Brains were too damn catchy.Ungodly - 7-11-2005 at 12:43 PM
IMO bands do not usually succeed in covering the Bad Brains. Outbreak's sounds good I think because they ahve been playing it for a long time. I
haven't heard KYI's.
I like when they try nonetheless.Thats Life - 7-11-2005 at 01:02 PM
i'll admit KYI's cover was pretty terrible. Can't do a BB cover without at least trying to do the dudes voice.XHonusWagnerX - 7-14-2005 at 04:34 PM
Bad Brains is one of my favorite bands of all time with out a doubt!
