This chill dude made some of the most crazy, loud, intense music ever.
Agree !!!!!!
Cadaver A.D He's "chill" because he's brain damaged
Big Boy yep. :(
@@__-wm9lu From what I read he is dealing with schizophrenia. Not sure if that's right. Once this began, his manner of speaking changed.
I think he thoroughly burned through his aggression in his youth.
Such an underrated band. You'd be surprised how many fans of Punk and Hardcore music these days have never even heard of Bad Brains and thier influence on Rock music history. Watching from London UK
I've been living just outside D.C. my entire life and it's pissed me off the *entire* time!
Dude couldn’t even keep a straight face when He was confused by HR being HR. Make no mistake as weird as he is HR is one of the nicest people and just a gentle soul. All the Bad Brains are
Rad Raspberry Razmin Fox who HR ?
Rad Raspberry Razmin Fox shut up
@Rad Raspberry Razmin Fox dude who fucking cares? go be woke somewhere else
@Rad Raspberry Razmin Fox What has he done? I'm genuinely curious.
H.R. is my all time favorite vocalist
FACTS!!!!
same
@Anthony B hell yeah. They're both absolutely killer.
Wow, a legend in punk and he's so soft spoken. Idk but it brings tears to my eyes.
I would love to see Bad Brains just once in my life. Any time soon would be great before its too late. Amazing musicians.
Saw them play Brixton Academy in 1996 they were amazing HR stopped me from getting kicked out for climbing up speakers and stage diving lol
You know one person I this group that they never seem to mention is Earl the drummer. I have got know him over the years and I consider him a good friend. We never hardly talk about the band. Here and there he would share a few crazy story’s with me about them out on tour. This is the guy someone should interview if you ask me. Just saying!
. th drummers are always
unintentional asmr
ASMHR
I really like the dude in the dead Kennedys shirt he's a great interviewer.
Yep. He handled himself very well, got the important info, and kept the tone in the zone for HR. Respect
Ghjyj Ghyhs graham is that you ?
I'm a little bit unhinged just a lil bit lol
Gruhammed?
Me too, he’s great👍
so soft spoken...
absolute legend
oi oi oi!
Looked them up on UA-cam last night, never heard their music or seen any footage of them. But when I saw the footage of them at CBGBs I was floored. Never seen a band grab the crowd like that. Glad to see H.R. doing well.
I need to get that book!
Look into the documentaries about and from The Foo Fighters! Dave Grohl started running the same streets here as Bad Brains hit their stride... they cannot say enough good things about those gentlemen!
And that's just the beginning!
PMA has gotten me through soooo much shit in my life! It was the BAD BRAIBNS that kept my spirits alive!
This dude was the same dude who sang how low can a punk get? Thats fucking amazing
Yeah and do you know what that song is about?
sound like asmr
My thoughts! He should make a video just talking about whatever.
Cool interview. Cool interviewer. And HR is a living legend who is very cool.
He literally is such a sweetheart, oh my god 😭❤️
A living legend
amazing im gonna buy that book. best of luck with your headaches
literally so sweet and soft spoken and sweet
This is why i see bad brains as the slayer of hardcore cause there attitude is just more calm then other bands in the genre
Will always be one of my favourite front men.
fantastic interview.. HR was very engaging for a change
What a beautiful person.
The interviewer is very great.
JAH BLESS HR
SPIRIT ELECTRICITY ⚡️ ❤️💛💚
He’s a legend doesn’t age greatest and only real punk/reggae band Of All Times!
Watching this makes me cry.
Its crazy man if you look at the Bad Brains show at cbgb in 82, that hr and this hr is like 2 different people, yes of course he is older blah blah but its crazy how different he seems now, love the guy man hope he lives out a healthy life and gets his medical issues sorted, along with Dr Know, much love for HR and Bad Brains, some of the best hardcore punk i ever heard.
The look on the interviews face when he realizes HR is religous man, a man of truth a man who has transcended himself.
The moment he realized his hero is a Christian😲😁😅....Reggea, Bad Brains, Ganja, dreadlocks, smooth accent and tropicsl beats sooting our troubled minds, and its all just s prayer to God.
He said fuck to himself after all the rebeling against everything. Thats why people like Jello and HR are Legends. They actually got it. They found their humanity and are trying to get ppl to do the ssme.
The moment you realze this is shocking as the DK wearing tshirt teenager gets it. Rebrl so hard sgainst everything only to come back to coming to terms with ones humanity. Its s marvelous moment in ones life.
Rasta is Christian. You rebeled agsinst that so hard and they were teaching you the way of Christ Hahshahaja!!!!!!!!
I am no rasta but dammm HR, if there is or was a God, it would be this Great Man. H(human)R(rights) . HR ♥️🙏♥️
That is saying something.
HR inspired me to become the man I am today🙏. Bless him that he remains to show people the way for unnumbered years🙏
@@sydneykamer3434 For real.
I saw these guys in portland 07/08, HR in pure form, in his element. Bad brains sounded just like they did in the studio. Perfection..
just wondering if he has an audiobook for his novel.
Never thought Bad Brains would make ambient music
One of the father of NYHC and there from DC ROCK on BROTHERS.
Hr rules
It threw me off when he was talking softly because he is the front man of one of the hardest rocking punk band
I saw them in Boston at mama kin
❤️💛💚❤️💛💚❤️💛💚
I had the privilege to jam with him and have him at the house. Miss u dude , salasee, rastafari...
Ledgend
Bad Brains is the best Punk Bad e ever..... Well maybe Misfits but still top 2 for sure.
This man is banned in DC???? But he’s no chill and nice
Bob Ross.
He was pre med.....I think I read.....Was gonna be a Doctor.
is there something wrong with him or is this how he actually talks?
I dont care what ya'll say, this man is a living legend. H.R and Bad Brains changed my life forever
He's a nutbag, veganism causes brain fog
Meee toooo.❤
This punk/hardcore legend is such a sweet old man
@Rad Raspberry Razmin Fox Seriously?
@Rad Raspberry Razmin Fox Please explain how
Rad Raspberry Razmin Fox if you're talking about the song don't blow bubbles and the "big boys incident" members of the band have since come out and apologized and spoken regret on their old beliefs except hr, as you hr was going through untreated schizophrenia etc spiraling and the rising into this sort of shaman etc (not a full excuse) he then suffered brain damage. in this current timeline if he remembered the trouble of the past he certainly would apologize no doubt as he's risen into acceptance of all.
I have to know what red raspberry razmin fox said
Hard to believe this calm, soft spoken dude is responsible for some of the most unhinged sounding vocals in the whole of the classic punk pantheon.
beware of the silent ones
@@torontotonto6189 Beware indeed!
think thats some condition he is in tbh
@@pyrox2518 Nah even in older interviews he was relatively soft spoken, not to the same degree as he is now, but back in the 80s he was still very much that way.
... and you ask yourself : Whre's the Bad Brain. :-)
So good to hear he's recovering from surgery. I suspect part of the reason he speaks so softly is due to the endless headaches. I would love a chance to see a rejuvenated H.R. on stage.
He's already proven himself 10 fold. He was a legend by 1983. How many of us will make a mark on the world like he has??? He was/is a brilliant musician.
@Rad Raspberry Razmin Fox When was the last time you talked to him?
Bad Brains's vocalist recovering from brain surgery, that's life's crude humour.
There is a gofundme for helping out with the bills. www.gofundme.com/r4ua4wng
Dr. Know has been having a rough time the past couple of years, too.
grrizo Exactly what I was going to say. He's been weakened by the surgery and the debilitating condition it was for.
Hemiac Plurge Just saw this, will donate.
grrizo he didnt have brain surgery man. Hes schizophrenic and has a debilitating headache issue
@@hemiacplurge3572 where can I donate? this gofundme thing is no longer available.
I saw Bad Brains in Philly in 1984 or so, they pull up in a shitty van and walked up the steps to the entrance door past the few of us that were out front. I looked at my friend and said "I think that is them", we didn't know what the band looked like, I only had the banned in DC cassette, no more than 200 people in the club, there was times of intense moshing to smooth reggae then back to ferocity. The Bad Brains were all you could want, rhythm, power, drive and Prime HR was a force of nature. It was fucking real, real special. HR was a spastic, wailing, electrified rag doll, dude put on a fuckin SHOW, he was an experience.
bad brains the best there ever was. period.
Chuck H. 100% absolutely , the mighty brains
this interviewed man was the singer of bad brains? (dont know if it was well writen, english not my nativ languaje
Chuck H. set the foundation for lots of stuff
Nico. Yeah, he was. He just recovered from brain surgery. What an irony!
+grrizo thanks for the reply, poor guy.
Living legend
HR YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!! You are a legend forever. Thank you for being you. And thank you for uploading these videos!!
wow some very ignorant commentors here.this man is a true living legend.Bad Brains changed my life when I heard them as a young skater in the 80s
DC changed the way you listened to music?
Bobby Bell what's crazy is most of the stuff on the first record predates all other main stream punk rock plus h.r. has one of the most killer reggae voices ever
I'm only 15 and they've helped shaped me after recently discovering them, mad respect to these underapreciated legends
@@pitapajaro they, as well as other hardcore bands, cater to a different audience. I'm assuming you're not a fan of that scene in general...?
Exactly!! Hollywood should definitely do a movie about Bad Brains. Such an amazing influence on Rock music history.
The most soft spoken chilled out guy made some insane music !!!! Mad Respect !!!!!
God, please let them tour just one more time with no problems(inner turmoil)!
I pray they come to the Midwest. I'll be there front row. I hope HR can give us a show worth seeing
I donnow guys...did you say that footage of HR at Chile(I think?) A few years back?
Friggen embarassing for the Bad Brains legacy man...the guy wasnt all there...
Don't know how the guys could let him get up in front of a crowd like that..but okay.
At least we have 'White Mandingos' now...that album was killer
js92css They are going to play riot fest in Illinois soon.
Saw them in Chicago a few years ago and it was ass-puckeringly bad. HR was clearly not in a good way, and Darryl was hiding behind his amp. It was so sad. I hope, if they tour again, things go better.
he's like 60 man, those days havea been over for a long long time
@@Jacob-fv9tg but he released a great album in 2019
Man, literally Im in tears while watching this video....May God Bless you H.R...so pure...you're a living legend...
I got to meet H.R in the legendary Dobbs in Philly when he was touring with his band the Dub Assassins I believe...And it was such an honor to even be in the presence...I introduced myself shook his hand...And when I walked away I was floored...Him and the rest of the Bad Brains are legends...MUCH RESPECT...JAH BLESS
It was a bit small but I loved seeing shows at JC Dobbs.
RESPECT THE LIVING LEGEND. Read about them, listen to their music and watch their shows. This man has nothing to prove to anyone. We’re lucky.
Buy Their Vinyl, But Their CD's, Digitally Download their music, get the VHS and DVD's that came out, and Buy Darryl Jennifers Du Album "In Search Of Black Judas"
who woulda thought the lead singer of one of the loudest punk bands ever would be such a soft spoken humble person
If anyone wonders about which verse he is referring to, this is it;
Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his[a];
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Oh shit that actually is spiritually deep.
God bless🙏👍
i and i give thanks. Praise Jah!!!
amen
Great verse!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I feel like Bad Brains live would not be what you'd hope for now a days...unfortunately.
alexander johnson give it a chance. pessimistic much?
alexander johnson i saw HR, hes not the same. Love the fact that I saw him.
Who cares I'd still
Love to see HR up there...
Well Randy Blythe played with them in NY and he nailed it
AlexanderW they are old.
two best hardcore bands ever: NoMeansNo and Bad Brains
His voice is so relaxing to listen to
Well done to Graham - interesting questions and really respectful to this legend who I'm surprised is up and about so soon after brain surgery. Get well soon H.R.
Crazy to see him so quiet and cool n collective knowing what he was on stage... Polar opposites.
H.R. is an absolute legend!!!!
I'm in tears I meet this man and he was so nice and aware I had no idea he is such a badass.. People PMA is real wow
Bad Brains has influenced generations of musicians!!!!! 🙏 🔥🎼🔥
Great vocalist he was, original - powerful and a highly inflectional vocalist. HR went off the rails for a while but seems levelled now. He will never be like the young HR but it´s great he is still alive. Bad Brains are and always be beyond!!
from screaming to ASMR
I never would have expected the most relaxing video on UA-cam to be released by Loudwire
This man will always have the music world's respect!
HRs talking voice is a hell of a drug
We need a Fact or Fiction with HR!
Bought the Rock for Light cassette bitd. My first punk rock purchase. What a great buy! I cherish my pic with my arm around him.
Greatest frontman of all time🤔👍
I am glad I found their music. What an iconic band!
Healing prayers and Love to HR, one of the greatest frontmen of all time in any genre!
The almighty Bad Brains! Great interview HR. Thank you
What a great man with so so much talent.
I'm atheist but HR is like a shaman, dude. Peace,
I saw Bad Brains at Hammersmith Odeaon, London in 1986: best punk band I've ever seen. Victor...
...I was NOT expecting him to be so soft spoken. Holy shit.
HR is FAMILY!!!!..The World.. would love to have the Brains on tour again... More amazing than words can say is their influence on the music scene.. .
No bad brains no nirvana
been a bad brains fan for years, never heard H.R talk though. and god damn this is not what I was expecting haha. much love
Nerve wracking voice... Made me sleepy... Kudos!!!👍👍👍
I'm now in my late 40s. My favorite band as a young teen punk was Bad Brains. Still my fave. Time didn't change my opinion.
early 50s and i couldnt agree more. Rock for light came out and changed my life. it was like everything i wanted to hear in music it literally talked to us. if we weren't skating, we were practicing and 5months later we formed our own Brains cover band "Riot Squad" and started spreading the word wherever we could play. P.M.A.
He seems more coherent than he has for a while.
ultrahero2115 they must have figured out the right dosage. I love HR, but I saw him in 2011 and it just seemed like a guy who we weren't going to have around much longer. glad he's coherent, stable and still doing his thing.
His wife, Lori, has also helped him a lot in the past few year. Getting him to the doctor, moving out of his warehouse..etc
ultrahero2115 hr is a legend but who is this fruitcake interviewer? He makes me never want to listen to punk or heavy metal music ever again.
He's so soft spoken during this interview, which kind of surprised me as I've never seen an interview with him. He was such a wildman onstage. What a sweet dude.
Amazing that H.R.'s can be so calm and zen, when he is so incredibly intense and wild on stage!
Good to see he's doing well!
A true inspiration!
So much respect for this man, H.R.
He's got such an amazing voice. Such a change from his frantic screeching in the Bad Brains that we all love.
The teacher of teachers!
Daniel Castillo facts
There's no way I'd look at him and be like he is a punk legend damn
Ironic that a man named “human rights” committed an actual hate crime towards randy biscuit.
Wait, what? Someone called Randy biscuit or A Randy biscuit? Because they're two very different things.. I'm new to a lot of BB.
Grear band great man I saw them was fortunate enough to see them live in london I think 87 ! Thw Camden town electric ballroom, jah jah jah , P.M.A. all the. 🙏🏴🙏 way,
The same my friend 👳 they played Huddersfield too and just destroyed the place . Was incendiary . . Went skating afterwards . So lucky we were , to see it go off !
