Back in the day after this came out Anthrax and Public Enemy did a tour together. Talk about 2 different crowds that people didn't think would get along. Quite the contrary. Thrash metal fans jammin through a Public Enemy set and then the other half, the Public Enemy crowd jammin through a thrash metal set. It was an awesome mixing of worlds and people and the shows were amazing. I was lucky enough to catch one.
I was at the show in Chicago. Primus opened, then PE, then Anthrax. Ended with Bring the Noise and Les Claypool sweeping the stage while they were playing. Primus did not fit with either genre, so it was like three different concerts. It was one of the best I have been to. Great Audience everyone got along and loved all the bands!
I’m 49 years old and I remember when this song first aired on MTv’s Headbanger’s Ball. I was in high school at the time. My mind was blown the first time I saw it. Rap was just starting to gain traction outside of the black community, especially by the metal kids. We didn’t know what we were looking at, almost like we were getting away with something. I have so much love for this song and Aerosmith & Run DMC’s “Walk This Way” before it. They opened the doors for so many bands and styles to follow!
If you're doing Anthrax start with the Among The Living album. I Am The Law(a song about Judge Dredd)is a good starter. Efilnikufesin, Caught In A Mosh, Skeleton In The Closet, & the title track are great choices
This was huge in the metal community when it dropped. These guys even toured together and had both fanbases coming together without issue in a time when people were trying to divide the music.
Some metal fans had a hard time swallowing it. I was at ... I think it was called Clash of the Titans tour, with Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. Alice In Chains opened, their “Man in the Box” song just came out. Anyway, after years of trash talking rap, a lot of fans were having a hard time processing the mix of genres. Someone said there are three stages to every movement. 1. Denial 2. Dismissiveness 3. Acceptance ... ... ... 4. Giving credit to the wrong people. Aerosmith and Run DMC mixed metal and rap six years before this song.
@@mikekolokowsky Aerosmith and Run DMC mixed rap with rock, not metal... it's not the same thing, it's like blues and jazz, they both might have a few things in common, but ultimately, there's just too many tropes and stylistic choices that set them apart from one another and make them very distinct separate genres
There's a history of Metal and Rap crossing over. From the Judgement Night soundtrack Slayer and Ice-T, Biohazard and Onyx, Faith No More and Boo-Yaa Tribe. Properly worth a look.
I remember seeing the Slam video by Onyx, and i recognized the white dudes in the video as Biohazard. None of my friends knew who they were. A few months later, Headbangers Ball started showing the Bionyx version of Slam. Early 90s was a great time to be a teenager, lol.
It was first released as a single in February 1988. The song was later included in Public Enemy’s album “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” which was released on April 14, 1988 ..Anthrax and Public Enemy collaborated again to release a new version of the song in 1991... i still have this on vinyl to this day.
It was originally on "It takes a nation..." and when Scott heard the shout out to anthrax he had to do a cover. So their management origannly asked for the rights and Chuck really wanted to meet the band so this happened. It was then released on Attack of the Killer B's from Anthrax and then PE put it as a bonus track on Apocalypse 91...the enemy strikes black.
I'm 50 and when this came out I was blown away. I learned every word and still sing along to it. This song is fun as hell and important as rap and rock go.
Both Anthrax and Public Enemy were from NYC areas. Charlie Benante (Anthrax's drummer) writes all their music, and is a huge fan of a lot of genres. Scott Ian was the founder of Anthrax with one of his friends, and he loved rap. Frank Bello is Charlie's nephew, and also shares same interests. They were friends with Beastie Boys, and they wrote a rap song that was similar to Beastie Boys style, and was supposed to have Beastie Boys on it, but the scheduling didn't work. Scott Ian was a huge fan of Public Enemy, and was known to wear a Public Enemy t-shirt on stage often. Chuck D was told about it, and saw them play live in NYC area at some point, and saw Scott wearing the shirt. He decided to name drop them in the song Bring The Noise. Anthrax loved it. Then they started trying to work through Public Enemy's management to meet up. Chuck D just heard some group was trying to cover one of their songs, and didn't know it was Anthrax. They didn't want it done at first, then they found out it was Anthrax, and they thought it could be interesting. Charlie wrote the music, Anthrax sent it over and Chuck D loved it. They tried to work it out to rerecord the vocals, with both Anthrax and Public Enemy for a new version of Bring The Noise. It didn't work out, scheduling wise, again. Anthrax was able to get the Public Enemy vocal tracks pieced together to match the beat of the music Charlie wrote. In Scott Ian's book, he said it took a good amount of work to get it to match right. After the song was released, as a single for both bands, it was a huge hit. Then they were like, "what now?" Anthrax approached Public Enemy about doing a joint coheadlining tour. They did a full tour celebrating rap and metal. Chuck D said the first show, they felt great, they put on a great show. Then they watched Anthrax perform. At the time, rap wasn't getting the big production of metal and rock bands for tours. Anthrax had a full team, lights, and stage setup to take playing live to a full on performance experience. Chuck D was like, "WTF???? We're going to get blown off the stage every night!" He went to them, and asked them about it. Anthrax said, "you don't have a light guy that choreographs your show?" Chuck D was like, "what?" He said they always had a "guy," just some guy that would fill in for whatever they needed, so he had that guy go to Anthrax's light guy and learn how he sets up the performance, and then went back to Public Enemy, and set up their performances. Chuck D said from then on, they learned every night, and got to where they held their own, every night on tour and was so thankful Anthrax did that, when they could have just let them flounder. But both groups wanted the best possible show every night, and worked together to do it. Even now, Anthrax plays Bring The Noise often, or their other rap song, I'm The Man. Sometimes Chuck D shows up and performs it with them. When Public Enemy was inducted into the Hip Hop Hall of Fame, Scott Ian and Charlie were there, and played Bring The Noise with Public Enemy.
This song changed music and that there's no color or race. Chuck D and Flava Flave had a very Black Millitant vibe, so it was big that they did a colab with one of the Big 4 thrash bands. To this day it's still an Amazing jam
The movie Judgement night had a brilliant sound track where metal and rap artists collaborated. My favourite off that was Faith no more and boo ya tribe "another body murdered" ICE T also has a metal band...called body count, worth checking that out.
Nice pick on this one!! This song really epitomizes how great different genres of music can blend together sometimes. Other Anthrax songs that you should check out are "I Am The Law", "Caught in a Mosh", and "Indians"
MOLLY BOY!!! I actually got to see them tour together. The show was awesome. The mix of hip hop fans and metal fans sharing the love of music was insane. One of the greatest experiences ever
Me too at Wembley Arena,fucking amazing gig because I loved both bands anyway. Scott Ian was always wearing Public Enemy t-shirts live, so I'm guessing this was his idea.
Saw them in New Orleans, we all rocked out, and nobody got shot. Wait. I mistaken. Barry and Mike taught us we were waciss before 2008, so there's no way that really happened. 🙄
Anthrax released a song in the late 80's called "I'm the Man" that was a rapping metal song. Public Enemy released "Bring the Noise" on an album (pre-Anthrax influence). The line "Wax is for Anthrax," was the catalyst for this genre-bending, amazing remake. Anthrax in the late 80's/ early 90's is an often overlooked gem. Indians, I am the Law, the entire Persistence of Time album...just amazing thrash metal.
I saw this live at Madison Square Garden with Slayer, Megadeth & Anthrax headlining since NYC is their home town & they brought out Public Enemy. What a time to be alive. I miss those days. There were a lot of rap & metal collars in the early 90s. Slayer &! Ice T, Onyx & Biohazard, House of Pain & Helmet, Faith No Nore and Booya Tribe are some to name a few. But going back to Anthrax you should do “Among the Luving” since you like that heavy crunchy sound.
Agreed. And the next one, For All Kings, is just about as good. I like some of the John Bush era, but at the end of the day Joey’s vocals are THE best voice for Anthrax, so from that perspective it’s not as surprising that they truly found their groove again once reunited with him. Either way, to come out with back to back albums so awesome that many years into their careers is amazing.
Finally someone who, after so many years, mentioned somewhere Worship Music :D I thought it wasn't going to happen. That album is a fucking masterpiece from start to finish
As someone who's been an Anthrax fan since ATL, I'd put Worship Music & For All Kings up at the very top of the Belladonna era albums. I'm still a Bush era fanboy, however. I like his angry tone so much more than Joey's melodic voice.
@@scottinokc As a fan you’ll probably know this, but when WM was written, it was with JB as the singer. Fascinating that Joey came in and made the songs his own.
Senser...states of mind...criminally overlooked by the masses..their first album stacked up is immense...if you dont react to it..at least give them a listen..you wont regret it...
Stacked Up remains the absolute bomb album. “The key” being a track I wore out. There was a single around the same era by a group marxman “ship ahoy”which fitted right in to this urban rap. Probably getting a few plays lately as sinead O’Connor provided backing vocals. Cd single still gets rotated as can’t find it in spoti
I saw Senser in '93, opening for Ozric Tentacles in Amsterdam, I'd never heard of them before but they were superb live and I ended up buying the Stacked Up album a week later when I got back to the UK. Still listen to it regularly
You have no idea the impact this made to me and many others. When I was a teenager, I thought rap had the same spirit as punk and metal. To see them come together was beautiful. Music and food can solve almost any differences. If you look at the history of this colab, you’ll see the impact it made. I was lucky enough to see public enemy and anthrax tour. Was insane and a social experiment that lives on with strength to this day. Love everyone. We all have way more n common than not.
Saw Anthrax and PE tour together when I was in High School at Irvine Meadows, CA (there's actually a live video of that show). When they closed the show with this song and brought everyone that played that night (openers and all) on stage, it was WILD.
This WAS an influence on the later bands that you mentioned. I wanna say it was about 1991, without Googling. I was in high school and played it on my radio show. My favorite Anthrax is "Antisocial" and I think you would like "Got the time".
@@gingataff I have other favorites like "Caught in a mosh" and "I am the law". I just figured with his taste in other music, those would probably appeal to him first. Good introduction songs, ya know?
When this video got dropped on MTV it was a game changer. In my group of friends we had metal heads and rap fans and everything in-between and this video was a party favorite for years, along with Run DMC and Aerosmith.
Scott Ian kept wearing Public Enemy tees on stage and in videos. Kept asking the band to team up in the late 80's When they did they gave us this and it was the second rap metal record ever. Aerosmith and Run DMC were the first but Anthrax and Enemy created the genre of rap metal which insired the more 90's bands of Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park. It was that groundbreaking no one knew what to make of it but everyone who liked it knew where their new sound was. I remember seeing this on TV in the late 80's. It just gave hair metal a good kicking and then it went on kicking it until it encountered Grunge and from there it was game over.
You might have skipped a few between Aerosmith/ Run DMC and Public Enemy/Anthrax. Pretty sure the Beasties did a lot with rock, he'll most of License to I'll is Zepplin samples. Rick Rubin had a huge influence on melding the two genres in the 80's. He did for all three of the bands in this post.
Anthrax and PE were the first Rap Metal collaboration, Run DMC and Aerosmith would be a Rap Hard Rock collaboration. There’s also a huge difference between bands/groups/crews collaborating and sampling stuff from Led Zeppelin as was also pointed out in this thread. I’m not saying one is better than the other either because I really enjoy both, I’m just pointing out that there’s a difference.
@biohazard_613 the Beastie Boys and Rick Rubin had Slayer (Kerry King) played on two songs on License to Ill....no sleep til Brooklyn and fight for your right to party came out way before PE and Anthrax. Don't get me wrong Anthrax is one of my favorite bands but Rick Rubin and def jam were mixing metal and hip hop long before this collaboration.
Anthrax was my first ever "favorite band" (started with metal, why not) and some 8-10 years later this was the song that started my transition from a total metalhead to rapper-metalhead in the 90's. A piece of history. Great choices, man!
There was a whole album released in the 90s called "Judgement Night" that was a collaboration of Rock and Metal acts with Rap and Hip Hop artists. It was the soundtrack to the movie of the same name. You should definitely give it a listen. My personal favourite track from that album was a collaboration between "Slayer" and"Ice T" called "Disorder". Give it a burst. I know you won't be disappointed!
I was 16 years old when this first came out (“Attack If The Killer B’s”). This was meant as a collaboration after Anthrax (1 of the Big 4 in thrash metal) had come out with their rap parody song “I’m The Man” in 1987. When I was in high school, I ran with the metalhead crowd and Anthrax was one of the bands that we collectively loved. This song was a major leap in music because prior to this, the rap crowd and the metal crowd were mortal enemies. This bridged that divide, like Lenny did with punk and metal.
Another sic reaction 🤘🤘 Check out some Biohazard. They were part of the original Hardcore scene outta Brooklyn NY. By themselves they were a fusion of rap beats and metal.... but they also did collabs with ONYX and some of the guys from Cypress Hill. Check out the ONYX shit "SLAM" and "Judgement Night".... and Cypress "How it is" and "Last Man Standing"..... Think you might like a couple 😁
Yes! Some Anthrax at last! I'm guessing you'll enjoy this one since you're into hip hop, but don't expect every Anthrax song to sound like this since almost all their other stuff is straight up thrash. They did do an album called Attack Of The Killer Bs though that was more punk/hardcore and featured some joke songs too, including another metal/hip hop song called I'm The Man.
"I feel like this could have been a good influence for bands like Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park." Well...yeah. This is it man. This and Run DMC's cover of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" were what kicked it all off man. What you just watched was the birth of everything that came after.
And glad that you got around to listening to some Anthrax. They've got a lot more of a sense of humour than many of the thrash bands, or at least more of one that comes through in their songs. Also, Scott Ian (the guitarist with the beard and shaved head) is married to Meat Loaf's daughter. Apparently, when Meat Loaf was considering having some rap on one of his tracks, but wasn't sure how to find a rapper, it was suggested that he give his son-in-law a call, given that Scott is still good friends with Chuck D from Public Enemy.
Scott Ian (bald guy in video and main man behind Anthrax) was always a huge hip hop fan. Beastie boys had a song on Paul's Boutique called 'Looking down the barrel of a gun' with a very metal riff and Anthrax covered it on the Beavis and Butthead movie. Also another OG, Ice-T, had a metal band called Body Count and they recently (2017) Did a massive cover of 'Rain in blood' by Slayer and killed it. Hiphip and Metal has much deeper ties than most are aware of.
I was listening back in the 80’s to old school hip hop and Thrash metal, I was loving it when metal and hip hop started doing collaborations. Bangers all of them
BTW you NEED to listen to the entire soundtrack of the movie Judgment Night if you like the rap/rock mix. Each song paired a huge rap and huge metal/grunge/rock band of the time. Everyone song is AMAZING!!! Biohazard and Onyx!! Then look up Ice T’s Body Count.
Released un 1991. The bald guy rapping at the end is the guitarist from Anthrax. A few years after this there was a movie call Judgement Night and the whole soundtrack was metal and rap bands doing colabs. Worth finding the soundtrack for a listen. Anthrax were always the light hearted of the big 4. Always up for a laugh and tonnes of energy.
If this crossover stuff is your jam, I recommend you take a listen to the soundtrack of the movie Judgment Night. It's a whole album of rock/metal bands paired with hip hop artists. Really cool stuff.
Both artists were highly respected outlaws of their genres and now enjoy iconic status. This song was probably the first rap/thrash collab that alot of people heard. The vidoe showing them all performing and a crowd of hip hop/metal heads all getting down together really adds to the fun. The only other near examples to predate it would be RUN DMC/Aerosmith "Walk This Way" but that was more rap/rock/funk. Both this and Walk This Way are regarded as some of the greatest genre collabs ever made.
If you like the rap / metal crossover there's an album called Judgement Night Movie soundtrack, it has loads I tracks from rap artists with metal bands
Probably not popular enough for a reaction, but the entire soundtrack for the movie Judgement Night is metal rap collabs. Pearl Jam and Cypress Hill, Ice T and Slayer, Onyx and Biohazard.
2 legend bands creating magic. Public Enemy is such an awesome band, loved them in the 90s and had the privilege to see them live in London a few years ago opening for Prodigy. And Anthrax, wow, amazing heavy metal band with the rare quality of not taking themselves seriously, just having fun (have a listen to “I’m the Man” and “Friggin in the Riggin”). If you enjoy a mixture of musical genres, you might enjoy Faith No More. Thank you for another awesome video and a beautiful trip down memory lane ❤
I was fortunate to see Anthrax and Public Enemy live in support of this album. Primus was the opening band, and when they played Bring the Noise at the encore, all three bands were on stage.
Saw these guys at the Bring the Noise tour in 1991 in Oakland California. The lineup was Anthrax, Public Enemy, Primus and young black teenagers. Our show was cut short due to the Red Cross needing the arena to house the victims of the Oakland Firestorm that was happening at the same time. I remember hanging out in the parking lot before the show where we could see the smoke just across the freeway and when we left all the vehicles had soot and debris on them from the fires.
Loved when they toured together. Anthrax and Public Enemy both played their sets then ended with this song. Not only bringing 2 genres of music together and bringing 2 crowds of people together that otherwise wouldnt have been together. And yes, they influenced the rap metal, or metal rap, whatever you call it. Look into blood eagle wings for some newer anthrax. Or come caught in a mosh for some older anthrax.
This got so many of my hip hop mates into metal. i was already on the PE train. Judgement Night soundtrack bruv. Metal and Rap collabs from early/mid 90s. Slayer/Ice-T doing an Exploited (UK punk) song.
The Rap/Rock and Rap/Metal crossover started in 1986 with Walk this Way by Aerosmith and Run D.M.C. and 1988 with Bring the Noise by Anthrax and Public Enemy, In 1990 Ice-T forms his Metal band, Body Count, and 1993 we got the Judgement Night soundtrack. These, in my opinion, are the pioneers of the Nu Metal genre and they rarely get the credit they deserve.
Check out "Stuck Mojo....Not promised tomorrow" Love the channel, always great to see someone discover another genre, "bionic jive...ricochet" is also good
So glad you liked it! ^_^ I'm a huge Anthrax fan. If you wanna jump one aside from there, Scott Ian (the rhythm guitar player - bald bearded white guy doing the rapping in Bring The Noise) and Charlie Benate (drums) are in both Anthrax and a side band called Stormtroopers of Death (SOD); their first album was 1985's Speak English or Die. "March of the SOD" was used as the intro to Headbangers Ball on MTV back when they showed actual music videos; they also used "Chromatic Death" as a bridge bit. Watch the "Live At Budokan - Full Show". They explain the album concept (it's a caricature - a joke) and how it all came to be.
Saw Anthrax and PE play this live on the same stage on a Saturday afternoon at Univ of Conn back in the day. This song brings back so many memories and bunch of stuff I dont even remember.
You said, a big step. It was. Yes. This is me. This is about when I opened my m8nd to all kinds of sounds. I saw this in person. I loved both. PE and Anthrax. Saw both live. Oh my god…to go back in time again.
Saw a live show with both of them. Half of the people metal dudes, the other half Hip Hopper. They didn't even mix in the venue. But when they played this song all together there was a huge Metalhead/Hip Hopper party going on. It was so funny.
Anthrax and Aerosmith were the first to mix rap and metal/rock that we know about. There were obscure bands during the same time, some NY and East Coast (US) hard core, etc. I could lead you into the deepest rabbbit hole with your music searches.
@NiF617 Blondie: Rapture....1980. Although not metal or hard rock, it's recognized as the song that crossed over mixing a different genre with rap music and is the first song to reach number one with rap vocals in the song. All just on year after the very first rap song.......Rappers Delight
Was lucky enough to see this performed live and to see Public enemy during the 'Nation of millions ' tour These guys are a genuine cornerstone of Hip Hop culture
A band I think you'd really enjoy is Body Count. It's the metal band that old school rapper Ice-T put together mainly so his buddy Ernie C could shred, and it's amazing. There's a certain degree of hip-hop to it, but they definitely lean more towards metal.
Wes Borland (Limp Bizkit guitarrist) said in an interview he was actually inspired by this exact song, so u hit the nail on the head with that observation.
If you dig "Bring The Noise", you should listen to the "Judgement Night Soundtrack", there are a Bunch of Supreme Collabos on. And maybe "Gunshot - Mind of a Razor (Jagged Edge Mix)" and you should definitely listen to "Senser", their Album " Stacked Up" is a true Masterpiece.
We can thank Mr. Scott Ian for this amazing collaboration. He is a huge fan of P.E. A complete ice breaker of a clashing (in a good way) of artists. Much love to Anthrax and Public Enemy.
Scott Ian of Anthrax wanted to colab with Public Enemy cause he loved their music! And so they did it and it was this! Bring the Noise is a Public Enemy song and Anthrax played a metal tue for it and Scott got to rap with Flavor Flav and Chuck D! It is really cool that this could and did happen!
Back in New York City in the 1980s, there weren't a lot of clubs that would book hardcore/punk and rap shows because of the reputations the fans had for violence/fights/damage, etc. occurring. Club owners were nervous and avoided booking those bands/rap acts. There were a select few clubs that would book both genres, and it was this reason the members of these music scenes would play these same clubs and even played shows with each other. So the hardcore punk and rap scenes formed close friendships in New York City way before the whole Rock/Rap thing exploded in the mainstream. It wasn't uncommon to see Murphy's Law and Public Enemy share the stage, on the same night. It was really cool to grow up there and be a part of that. Anthrax had ties to the the hardcore scene in New York City. They played shows with many hardcore punk bands before they blew up, and they formed the same sort of bonds with the rap bands. To their credit, they were one of the first metal bands to actually record with rap acts, before they released their own breakout hit, the rap metal song called: "I'm The Man". They recorded with UTFO, which is a well-known rap band in the 80s. You can search UTFO and Anthrax on UA-cam. You'll find the UTFO/Anthrax record called "Lethal". UTFO was famous for their song Roxanne. It was a great time back then. And I was lucky to have witnessed it.
This actually a cover. PE did it on their It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back album. Chuck found out that Scott Ian(the bald guy)would wear PE shirts on stage at Anthrax shows & shouted them out in the original version of this song(Wax is for Anthrax). They became friends & teamed up for this version that came out on their Apocalypse 91 album as well as the Judgement Night soundtrack
Totally with you regarding Linkin Park. Loved Chester all the way through. Can’t believe you’ve never heard this song! I was a teenager when this came out. Major influence on LP, Bizkit, Korn, etc. Love your reactions. Only found you this week! Keep up the good work. ❤
Yooooooo! Bad ass tune man!. 1991......I was at the tail end of high school when it came out. Anthrax was from NYC, so they were exposed to the hip hop culture genuinely. I cant think of much more before that except Aerosmith and Run DMC (85 or 86, I cant remember), joining up for Walk This Way. But yeah man, those 4 pretty much started the whole rap rock thing. Awesome vids man, keep em comin'. I can tell youre for real........Subbed up! \m/
The first proper metal/hip hop crossover track I remember hearing was "Every Day's A Holiday" by Mordred. Never seen anyone react to that tune, but it's a banger and it dropped years before "Bring The Noise".
Anthrax started the whole rap-rock thing in 88 or so when they did the I’m the Man EP. It’s an original rap song but played with the band. If you check it out do the Def Uncensored version. All other versions are just alternate remixes, and they’ve remixed it a few times over the years. Public Enemy noticed that Scott from Anthrax was wearing Public Enemy shirts in videos and photos and they gave a shout-out to Anthrax in their song Bring the Noise. This version is a cover, which Anthrax did for a compilation of B-sides, and they invited Public Enemy to appear on it. This was in 91. In 1993, the Judgement Night soundtrack came out, and the gimmick there was that metal/alternative bands would collaborate with rap bands. Slayer and Ice-T did a song, and Onyx and Biohazard had a song as well. These two were important as they were like two sides of the same coin. And then by the end of the 90s all kinds of bands who grew up with both rap and metal started mixing them together. But Anthrax was the first.
I’m talking about heavier music. Run DMC and Aerosmith were first, of course. Run DMC hit the mainstream a few years before Public Enemy did. And Walk This Away put Aerosmith back on the map, after they had completely sunk themselves due to drugs.
Slayer doing two songs on License to Ill and Slayer being sampled on early Public Enemy was before I'm the man and before bring the noise. Rick Rubin had a much bigger hand in fusing these two genres then any band did. Check out the song She Watch Channel Zero from PE, the sample is Angel of Death from Slayer
@@gveharso none of the rap-rock between 1980 and 1988 counts? I know of a bunch from that time period and some of it is even heavy if you count punk as heavy.
@@ScreaminSeamenSlayer did not do 2 songs on Licensed to Ill, Kerry King from Slayer did 2 songs on Licensed. Tom, Jeff and Dave had nothing to do with it.
I didn’t say it didn’t count, just that there was a difference between mainstream music and the heavier side. There was a big divide between metal/rock and hip hop at first. Anthrax were an important breakthrough in genre-bending in that they were getting to be one of the big four at the time, and they were the only ones open about their love of hip hop. I am writing on a phone and this is just a UA-cam comment, so I wasn’t going to write an article about it. Some things had to be left out. Faith No More’s Epic was also crucial when it came out. I wouldn’t quite say not mentioning PE sampling Slayer was an oversight. It was a sample, not a collaboration, but it probably did open the door a crack, so good job for thinking of it.
Ah man, this takes me back. ICE T fronts a hardcore band called Body Count. I recommend a song called Black Hoodie. I'll tell you something that links this video to your previous Slayer reaction too. Public Enemy wrote a song called "She Watch Channel Zero?!" and it samples the riff from Slayers Angel of Death. That's a sweet track too!
The whole "JUDGEMENT NIGHT" movie soundtrack album is all colabs like this!
1. Helmet & House Of Pain - Just Another Victim
2. Teenage Fanclub & De La Soul - Fallin'
3. Living Colour & Run D.M.C. - Me, Myself & My Microphone

Judgement Night and Just Another Victim were floor fillers at my local metal clubs for years. Epic tracks.
Absolutely. This. An album packed front to back with brilliant tracks.
One of the best albums I own
One of the best albums that ever came out and a awesome soundtrack.
Heh. I should have scrolled down to this before I typed my comment. You're damn right there. Excellent album.
Back in the day after this came out Anthrax and Public Enemy did a tour together. Talk about 2 different crowds that people didn't think would get along. Quite the contrary. Thrash metal fans jammin through a Public Enemy set and then the other half, the Public Enemy crowd jammin through a thrash metal set. It was an awesome mixing of worlds and people and the shows were amazing. I was lucky enough to catch one.
I was at the show in Chicago. Primus opened, then PE, then Anthrax. Ended with Bring the Noise and Les Claypool sweeping the stage while they were playing.
Primus did not fit with either genre, so it was like three different concerts. It was one of the best I have been to.
Great Audience everyone got along and loved all the bands!
Gonna sound old here, but...those were the days.
Reminds me of the Ozzy / Beastie Boys tour in the 90s. Awesome.
I’m 49 years old and I remember when this song first aired on MTv’s Headbanger’s Ball. I was in high school at the time. My mind was blown the first time I saw it. Rap was just starting to gain traction outside of the black community, especially by the metal kids. We didn’t know what we were looking at, almost like we were getting away with something. I have so much love for this song and Aerosmith & Run DMC’s “Walk This Way” before it. They opened the doors for so many bands and styles to follow!
Yeah!! Me too. It changed my life
If you're doing Anthrax start with the Among The Living album. I Am The Law(a song about Judge Dredd)is a good starter. Efilnikufesin, Caught In A Mosh, Skeleton In The Closet, & the title track are great choices
BTW, the song Among The Living is about the Stephen King novel The Stand & The Walkin Dude Randall Flagg, the evil bad guy in the story
Facts! Now he needs to do Ice T with Body Count covering Slayer: Rain In Blood!
Yes sir
@@parallelearthstudio8385
This was huge in the metal community when it dropped. These guys even toured together and had both fanbases coming together without issue in a time when people were trying to divide the music.
Some metal fans had a hard time swallowing it. I was at ... I think it was called Clash of the Titans tour, with Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. Alice In Chains opened, their “Man in the Box” song just came out. Anyway, after years of trash talking rap, a lot of fans were having a hard time processing the mix of genres.
Someone said there are three stages to every movement.
1. Denial
2. Dismissiveness
3. Acceptance
... ... ... 4. Giving credit to the wrong people.
Aerosmith and Run DMC mixed metal and rap six years before this song.
@@mikekolokowsky Aerosmith and Run DMC mixed rap with rock, not metal... it's not the same thing, it's like blues and jazz, they both might have a few things in common, but ultimately, there's just too many tropes and stylistic choices that set them apart from one another and make them very distinct separate genres
@@mikekolokowsky
Yes! Went to this concert. Was trying to remember if I saw Megadeth & Alice at same festival. Thank you
Anthrax - Among The Living. It's their equivalent of 'Tallica's Puppets. All killer, no filler. And this track - 1991
Now I've got "Caught in a mosh" stuck in my head.
There's a history of Metal and Rap crossing over. From the Judgement Night soundtrack Slayer and Ice-T, Biohazard and Onyx, Faith No More and Boo-Yaa Tribe. Properly worth a look.
☝🏼This! The Faith No More song is so good!
Didn’t see this comment, thought I was well clever bringing up Judgement night! Should have known someone would beat me to it😂
Epic Soundtrack, bad movie
I remember seeing the Slam video by Onyx, and i recognized the white dudes in the video as Biohazard. None of my friends knew who they were. A few months later, Headbangers Ball started showing the Bionyx version of Slam. Early 90s was a great time to be a teenager, lol.
Came here to say this!
Spam this man with the Judgement Night recommendations!
It was first released as a single in February 1988. The song was later included in Public Enemy’s album “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” which was released on April 14, 1988 ..Anthrax and Public Enemy collaborated again to release a new version of the song in 1991... i still have this on vinyl to this day.
It was originally on "It takes a nation..." and when Scott heard the shout out to anthrax he had to do a cover. So their management origannly asked for the rights and Chuck really wanted to meet the band so this happened. It was then released on Attack of the Killer B's from Anthrax and then PE put it as a bonus track on Apocalypse 91...the enemy strikes black.
I'm 50 and when this came out I was blown away. I learned every word and still sing along to it. This song is fun as hell and important as rap and rock go.
I'm 50 also,and my little gem is I'm the Man.
@@gregthompson3785 I love that one too
@@gregthompson3785 I'm 50 too & I remember when this song hit the charts, it ROCKS to this day! Both bands are wicked!
Both Anthrax and Public Enemy were from NYC areas. Charlie Benante (Anthrax's drummer) writes all their music, and is a huge fan of a lot of genres. Scott Ian was the founder of Anthrax with one of his friends, and he loved rap. Frank Bello is Charlie's nephew, and also shares same interests. They were friends with Beastie Boys, and they wrote a rap song that was similar to Beastie Boys style, and was supposed to have Beastie Boys on it, but the scheduling didn't work. Scott Ian was a huge fan of Public Enemy, and was known to wear a Public Enemy t-shirt on stage often. Chuck D was told about it, and saw them play live in NYC area at some point, and saw Scott wearing the shirt. He decided to name drop them in the song Bring The Noise. Anthrax loved it. Then they started trying to work through Public Enemy's management to meet up. Chuck D just heard some group was trying to cover one of their songs, and didn't know it was Anthrax. They didn't want it done at first, then they found out it was Anthrax, and they thought it could be interesting. Charlie wrote the music, Anthrax sent it over and Chuck D loved it. They tried to work it out to rerecord the vocals, with both Anthrax and Public Enemy for a new version of Bring The Noise. It didn't work out, scheduling wise, again. Anthrax was able to get the Public Enemy vocal tracks pieced together to match the beat of the music Charlie wrote. In Scott Ian's book, he said it took a good amount of work to get it to match right. After the song was released, as a single for both bands, it was a huge hit. Then they were like, "what now?" Anthrax approached Public Enemy about doing a joint coheadlining tour. They did a full tour celebrating rap and metal. Chuck D said the first show, they felt great, they put on a great show. Then they watched Anthrax perform. At the time, rap wasn't getting the big production of metal and rock bands for tours. Anthrax had a full team, lights, and stage setup to take playing live to a full on performance experience. Chuck D was like, "WTF???? We're going to get blown off the stage every night!" He went to them, and asked them about it. Anthrax said, "you don't have a light guy that choreographs your show?" Chuck D was like, "what?" He said they always had a "guy," just some guy that would fill in for whatever they needed, so he had that guy go to Anthrax's light guy and learn how he sets up the performance, and then went back to Public Enemy, and set up their performances. Chuck D said from then on, they learned every night, and got to where they held their own, every night on tour and was so thankful Anthrax did that, when they could have just let them flounder. But both groups wanted the best possible show every night, and worked together to do it. Even now, Anthrax plays Bring The Noise often, or their other rap song, I'm The Man. Sometimes Chuck D shows up and performs it with them. When Public Enemy was inducted into the Hip Hop Hall of Fame, Scott Ian and Charlie were there, and played Bring The Noise with Public Enemy.
Thank you so much for sharing this back story ❤
Got kicked off stage by Frank bello once LoL I took out half the mosh pit.
This song changed music and that there's no color or race. Chuck D and Flava Flave had a very Black Millitant vibe, so it was big that they did a colab with one of the Big 4 thrash bands. To this day it's still an Amazing jam
Yeah, Chuck definitely had something to say.
The movie Judgement night had a brilliant sound track where metal and rap artists collaborated. My favourite off that was Faith no more and boo ya tribe "another body murdered" ICE T also has a metal band...called body count, worth checking that out.
Yes! But based on this guy's tastes id recommend later albums like Manslaughter, bloodlust and Carnivore.
Nice pick on this one!! This song really epitomizes how great different genres of music can blend together sometimes. Other Anthrax songs that you should check out are "I Am The Law", "Caught in a Mosh", and "Indians"
Don't forget "Madhouse"!! :)
Or I'm the Man....the song they wrote to be a collab with the Beasties Boys.
I am the law is up there with the best thrash songs 🤟🤟🤟
Public Enemy’s “It takes a nation of millions to hold us back” one of the best albums ever released.
MOLLY BOY!!! I actually got to see them tour together. The show was awesome. The mix of hip hop fans and metal fans sharing the love of music was insane. One of the greatest experiences ever
Me too at Wembley Arena,fucking amazing gig because I loved both bands anyway. Scott Ian was always wearing Public Enemy t-shirts live, so I'm guessing this was his idea.
Saw them in New Orleans, we all rocked out, and nobody got shot.
Wait. I mistaken. Barry and Mike taught us we were waciss before 2008, so there's no way that really happened.
🙄
Anthrax released a song in the late 80's called "I'm the Man" that was a rapping metal song. Public Enemy released "Bring the Noise" on an album (pre-Anthrax influence). The line "Wax is for Anthrax," was the catalyst for this genre-bending, amazing remake. Anthrax in the late 80's/ early 90's is an often overlooked gem. Indians, I am the Law, the entire Persistence of Time album...just amazing thrash metal.
I saw this live at Madison Square Garden with Slayer, Megadeth & Anthrax headlining since NYC is their home town & they brought out Public Enemy. What a time to be alive. I miss those days. There were a lot of rap & metal collars in the early 90s. Slayer &! Ice T, Onyx & Biohazard, House of Pain & Helmet, Faith No Nore and Booya Tribe are some to name a few. But going back to Anthrax you should do “Among the Luving” since you like that heavy crunchy sound.
I actually think one of Anthrax's later albums is their best. Worship Music is colossal.
Agreed. And the next one, For All Kings, is just about as good. I like some of the John Bush era, but at the end of the day Joey’s vocals are THE best voice for Anthrax, so from that perspective it’s not as surprising that they truly found their groove again once reunited with him. Either way, to come out with back to back albums so awesome that many years into their careers is amazing.
Finally someone who, after so many years, mentioned somewhere Worship Music :D I thought it wasn't going to happen. That album is a fucking masterpiece from start to finish
As someone who's been an Anthrax fan since ATL, I'd put Worship Music & For All Kings up at the very top of the Belladonna era albums. I'm still a Bush era fanboy, however. I like his angry tone so much more than Joey's melodic voice.
Yes! “in the End” and “Crawl” from Worship Music Molly🤘
@@scottinokc As a fan you’ll probably know this, but when WM was written, it was with JB as the singer. Fascinating that Joey came in and made the songs his own.
Senser...states of mind...criminally overlooked by the masses..their first album stacked up is immense...if you dont react to it..at least give them a listen..you wont regret it...
Stacked Up remains the absolute bomb album. “The key” being a track I wore out. There was a single around the same era by a group marxman “ship ahoy”which fitted right in to this urban rap. Probably getting a few plays lately as sinead O’Connor provided backing vocals. Cd single still gets rotated as can’t find it in spoti
@@mradriankool it is on spotify...got the whole album on my playlist...
I saw Senser in '93, opening for Ozric Tentacles in Amsterdam, I'd never heard of them before but they were superb live and I ended up buying the Stacked Up album a week later when I got back to the UK. Still listen to it regularly
aye
You have no idea the impact this made to me and many others. When I was a teenager, I thought rap had the same spirit as punk and metal. To see them come together was beautiful. Music and food can solve almost any differences. If you look at the history of this colab, you’ll see the impact it made. I was lucky enough to see public enemy and anthrax tour. Was insane and a social experiment that lives on with strength to this day. Love everyone. We all have way more n common than not.
Saw Anthrax and PE tour together when I was in High School at Irvine Meadows, CA (there's actually a live video of that show). When they closed the show with this song and brought everyone that played that night (openers and all) on stage, it was WILD.
This WAS an influence on the later bands that you mentioned. I wanna say it was about 1991, without Googling. I was in high school and played it on my radio show.
My favorite Anthrax is "Antisocial" and I think you would like "Got the time".
Interesting you have picked 3 cover songs ;) Anthrax does do good covers though. Parasite and Friggin in the rigging can be added to the list.
@@gingataff I have other favorites like "Caught in a mosh" and "I am the law". I just figured with his taste in other music, those would probably appeal to him first. Good introduction songs, ya know?
When this video got dropped on MTV it was a game changer. In my group of friends we had metal heads and rap fans and everything in-between and this video was a party favorite for years, along with Run DMC and Aerosmith.
Scott Ian kept wearing Public Enemy tees on stage and in videos. Kept asking the band to team up in the late 80's When they did they gave us this and it was the second rap metal record ever. Aerosmith and Run DMC were the first but Anthrax and Enemy created the genre of rap metal which insired the more 90's bands of Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park. It was that groundbreaking no one knew what to make of it but everyone who liked it knew where their new sound was.
I remember seeing this on TV in the late 80's. It just gave hair metal a good kicking and then it went on kicking it until it encountered Grunge and from there it was game over.
You might have skipped a few between Aerosmith/ Run DMC and Public Enemy/Anthrax. Pretty sure the Beasties did a lot with rock, he'll most of License to I'll is Zepplin samples. Rick Rubin had a huge influence on melding the two genres in the 80's. He did for all three of the bands in this post.
@@ScreaminSeamen PE sampled 'Angle of death', with there song 'Channel Zero' back in 87🤘
Anthrax and PE were the first Rap Metal collaboration, Run DMC and Aerosmith would be a Rap Hard Rock collaboration.
There’s also a huge difference between bands/groups/crews collaborating and sampling stuff from Led Zeppelin as was also pointed out in this thread. I’m not saying one is better than the other either because I really enjoy both, I’m just pointing out that there’s a difference.
@biohazard_613 the Beastie Boys and Rick Rubin had Slayer (Kerry King) played on two songs on License to Ill....no sleep til Brooklyn and fight for your right to party came out way before PE and Anthrax. Don't get me wrong Anthrax is one of my favorite bands but Rick Rubin and def jam were mixing metal and hip hop long before this collaboration.
@@ScreaminSeamen drop the word Slayer and everything else in your post is true.
This is high school for me and im 50 this was the 1st metal hip hop collaboration ever and it is basically what kicked off what became Nu Metal 🤘
I'm 52 and I've been listening to Anthrax since they came out in the early 80s.
same for me one the best metal bands ever
Anthrax was one of the bands that first combined rap and metal with "I'm the Man". This jam is probably one of the best rock/rap collabs to exist.
I'm the man was the best!!
Anthrax was my first ever "favorite band" (started with metal, why not) and some 8-10 years later this was the song that started my transition from a total metalhead to rapper-metalhead in the 90's. A piece of history. Great choices, man!
That outro beat was a hip hop staple and came from James Brown and Maceo Parker’s Funky Drummer. I think it is on the album In The Jungle Groove.
There was a whole album released in the 90s called "Judgement Night" that was a collaboration of Rock and Metal acts with Rap and Hip Hop artists. It was the soundtrack to the movie of the same name.
You should definitely give it a listen.
My personal favourite track from that album was a collaboration between "Slayer" and"Ice T" called "Disorder".
Give it a burst. I know you won't be disappointed!
💯👍🍻
The outro on this song is beast.
Anthrax - Finale. and Intro to reality then straight into the next song belly of the beast.
I was 16 years old when this first came out (“Attack If The Killer B’s”). This was meant as a collaboration after Anthrax (1 of the Big 4 in thrash metal) had come out with their rap parody song “I’m The Man” in 1987. When I was in high school, I ran with the metalhead crowd and Anthrax was one of the bands that we collectively loved. This song was a major leap in music because prior to this, the rap crowd and the metal crowd were mortal enemies. This bridged that divide, like Lenny did with punk and metal.
Another sic reaction 🤘🤘 Check out some Biohazard. They were part of the original Hardcore scene outta Brooklyn NY. By themselves they were a fusion of rap beats and metal.... but they also did collabs with ONYX and some of the guys from Cypress Hill. Check out the ONYX shit "SLAM" and "Judgement Night".... and Cypress "How it is" and "Last Man Standing"..... Think you might like a couple 😁
I was waiting for someone to mention Biohazard. I think he'll love them.
Shades of Grey, DFL, Punishment.. 🙌
The soundtrack to "Judgement Night", a movie from the 90s, is a colection of hip hop and metal colabs.
Yeah, I was a big fan of that soundtrack when it came out.
Yes! Some Anthrax at last! I'm guessing you'll enjoy this one since you're into hip hop, but don't expect every Anthrax song to sound like this since almost all their other stuff is straight up thrash. They did do an album called Attack Of The Killer Bs though that was more punk/hardcore and featured some joke songs too, including another metal/hip hop song called I'm The Man.
.....and you gotta give honorable mention to startin' up a posse
Tipper Gore's all time favorite
Thank Ian for convincing Public Enemy that this would work. So good!!
"I feel like this could have been a good influence for bands like Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park."
Well...yeah. This is it man. This and Run DMC's cover of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" were what kicked it all off man. What you just watched was the birth of everything that came after.
I was lucky enough to see Anthrax and Public Enemy play live together in 1991. This song was the highlight of the night.
One of the 4 founding Fathers of Thrash!! This ones a bit too much maybe for the first time listening. But...He can take it!!😊🤘
And glad that you got around to listening to some Anthrax. They've got a lot more of a sense of humour than many of the thrash bands, or at least more of one that comes through in their songs. Also, Scott Ian (the guitarist with the beard and shaved head) is married to Meat Loaf's daughter.
Apparently, when Meat Loaf was considering having some rap on one of his tracks, but wasn't sure how to find a rapper, it was suggested that he give his son-in-law a call, given that Scott is still good friends with Chuck D from Public Enemy.
You have to check out the judgment night soundtrack. All collabs between metal and rap and I love every bit of it.
It’s been so many years but I still know every word of this amazing song!
Scott Ian (bald guy in video and main man behind Anthrax) was always a huge hip hop fan. Beastie boys had a song on Paul's Boutique called 'Looking down the barrel of a gun' with a very metal riff and Anthrax covered it on the Beavis and Butthead movie. Also another OG, Ice-T, had a metal band called Body Count and they recently (2017) Did a massive cover of 'Rain in blood' by Slayer and killed it. Hiphip and Metal has much deeper ties than most are aware of.
The rebellious music genres! They go well together.
Body count is still active.
I was listening back in the 80’s to old school hip hop and Thrash metal, I was loving it when metal and hip hop started doing collaborations. Bangers all of them
BTW you NEED to listen to the entire soundtrack of the movie Judgment Night if you like the rap/rock mix. Each song paired a huge rap and huge metal/grunge/rock band of the time. Everyone song is AMAZING!!! Biohazard and Onyx!! Then look up Ice T’s Body Count.
Released un 1991.
The bald guy rapping at the end is the guitarist from Anthrax.
A few years after this there was a movie call Judgement Night and the whole soundtrack was metal and rap bands doing colabs.
Worth finding the soundtrack for a listen.
Anthrax were always the light hearted of the big 4. Always up for a laugh and tonnes of energy.
Check out the entire Judgement Night soundtrack! It’s hip hop meets rock/metal collab! You’re welcome!!!
This was one of the sound tracks of THPS2, incredible game and soundtracks!
If this crossover stuff is your jam, I recommend you take a listen to the soundtrack of the movie Judgment Night. It's a whole album of rock/metal bands paired with hip hop artists. Really cool stuff.
I was looking to see if anyone mentioned this👌
Both artists were highly respected outlaws of their genres and now enjoy iconic status. This song was probably the first rap/thrash collab that alot of people heard. The vidoe showing them all performing and a crowd of hip hop/metal heads all getting down together really adds to the fun. The only other near examples to predate it would be RUN DMC/Aerosmith "Walk This Way" but that was more rap/rock/funk. Both this and Walk This Way are regarded as some of the greatest genre collabs ever made.
If you like the rap / metal crossover there's an album called Judgement Night Movie soundtrack, it has loads I tracks from rap artists with metal bands
ua-cam.com/video/MflHeX81nW4/v-deo.htmlsi=6EwI2a13x7FLF68z
Slayer & Ice-T
1991. I was a sophmore in highschool. This was aired on Headbangers Ball. I'll never forget seeing this for the first time it's so good.
since you are into Metallica listen to "the four horseman" and with Slayer "hell awaits"
Probably not popular enough for a reaction, but the entire soundtrack for the movie Judgement Night is metal rap collabs. Pearl Jam and Cypress Hill, Ice T and Slayer, Onyx and Biohazard.
2 legend bands creating magic. Public Enemy is such an awesome band, loved them in the 90s and had the privilege to see them live in London a few years ago opening for Prodigy. And Anthrax, wow, amazing heavy metal band with the rare quality of not taking themselves seriously, just having fun (have a listen to “I’m the Man” and “Friggin in the Riggin”). If you enjoy a mixture of musical genres, you might enjoy Faith No More. Thank you for another awesome video and a beautiful trip down memory lane ❤
This crossover era was one of the most fun times ever to be a concert-goer. Saw so many good shows during those years.
Find the soundtrack for the movie "Judgement Night". Its all collabs like this and its pretty spectacular.
I met Scott Ian from Anthrax once at a concert a very laid-back and chill guy was super nice he signed all the autographs we asked him for
I bought this on 12" back in the day.
Yes, I'm old 😄
I highly recommend you buy the Judgment Night soundtrack as its the best rap & metal collaborations you'll hear, Slayer with Ice T is awesome
I was fortunate to see Anthrax and Public Enemy live in support of this album. Primus was the opening band, and when they played Bring the Noise at the encore, all three bands were on stage.
Saw these guys at the Bring the Noise tour in 1991 in Oakland California. The lineup was Anthrax, Public Enemy, Primus and young black teenagers. Our show was cut short due to the Red Cross needing the arena to house the victims of the Oakland Firestorm that was happening at the same time. I remember hanging out in the parking lot before the show where we could see the smoke just across the freeway and when we left all the vehicles had soot and debris on them from the fires.
Anthrax’s “In My World” has been one of my favorite songs of all time since it came out. Please react to that one
Loved when they toured together. Anthrax and Public Enemy both played their sets then ended with this song. Not only bringing 2 genres of music together and bringing 2 crowds of people together that otherwise wouldnt have been together. And yes, they influenced the rap metal, or metal rap, whatever you call it.
Look into blood eagle wings for some newer anthrax.
Or come caught in a mosh for some older anthrax.
These two were the the biggest bands of their genres,thrash and rap,great separately awesome together!💘💘💘🤘🤘🤘
This got so many of my hip hop mates into metal. i was already on the PE train.
Judgement Night soundtrack bruv. Metal and Rap collabs from early/mid 90s. Slayer/Ice-T doing an Exploited (UK punk) song.
If one of your viewers told you to react to this video, you're doing something right!
Keep it up
I saw this tour with PRIMUS opening for them. Never seen a lineup like that again. This song as the finale with EVERYONE on stage at once.
The Rap/Rock and Rap/Metal crossover started in 1986 with Walk this Way by Aerosmith and Run D.M.C. and 1988 with Bring the Noise by Anthrax and Public Enemy, In 1990 Ice-T forms his Metal band, Body Count, and 1993 we got the Judgement Night soundtrack. These, in my opinion, are the pioneers of the Nu Metal genre and they rarely get the credit they deserve.
And Rage Against The Machine in 1991
@@EmbassyNerdcore Good point. Somehow I completely forgot about them.
Check out "Stuck Mojo....Not promised tomorrow" Love the channel, always great to see someone discover another genre, "bionic jive...ricochet" is also good
So glad you liked it! ^_^ I'm a huge Anthrax fan. If you wanna jump one aside from there, Scott Ian (the rhythm guitar player - bald bearded white guy doing the rapping in Bring The Noise) and Charlie Benate (drums) are in both Anthrax and a side band called Stormtroopers of Death (SOD); their first album was 1985's Speak English or Die. "March of the SOD" was used as the intro to Headbangers Ball on MTV back when they showed actual music videos; they also used "Chromatic Death" as a bridge bit. Watch the "Live At Budokan - Full Show". They explain the album concept (it's a caricature - a joke) and how it all came to be.
Saw Anthrax and PE play this live on the same stage on a Saturday afternoon at Univ of Conn back in the day. This song brings back so many memories and bunch of stuff I dont even remember.
You said, a big step. It was. Yes. This is me. This is about when I opened my m8nd to all kinds of sounds. I saw this in person. I loved both. PE and Anthrax. Saw both live. Oh my god…to go back in time again.
Saw a live show with both of them. Half of the people metal dudes, the other half Hip Hopper. They didn't even mix in the venue. But when they played this song all together there was a huge Metalhead/Hip Hopper party going on. It was so funny.
Anthrax and Aerosmith were the first to mix rap and metal/rock that we know about. There were obscure bands during the same time, some NY and East Coast (US) hard core, etc. I could lead you into the deepest rabbbit hole with your music searches.
I beg to differ......Blondie!!!!
@@nitrojunkie9027 name the song and date i will check it out
@NiF617 Blondie: Rapture....1980. Although not metal or hard rock, it's recognized as the song that crossed over mixing a different genre with rap music and is the first song to reach number one with rap vocals in the song. All just on year after the very first rap song.......Rappers Delight
Was lucky enough to see this performed live and to see Public enemy during the 'Nation of millions ' tour These guys are a genuine cornerstone of Hip Hop culture
A band I think you'd really enjoy is Body Count. It's the metal band that old school rapper Ice-T put together mainly so his buddy Ernie C could shred, and it's amazing. There's a certain degree of hip-hop to it, but they definitely lean more towards metal.
Wes Borland (Limp Bizkit guitarrist) said in an interview he was actually inspired by this exact song, so u hit the nail on the head with that observation.
If you dig "Bring The Noise", you should listen to the "Judgement Night Soundtrack", there are a Bunch of Supreme Collabos on. And maybe "Gunshot - Mind of a Razor (Jagged Edge Mix)" and you should definitely listen to "Senser", their Album " Stacked Up" is a true Masterpiece.
Hell yeah! You’re picking some bad ass songs to react to! You need to crank this loud.
Another banger! I was 20 when this dropped and I was so very happy!
We can thank Mr. Scott Ian for this amazing collaboration. He is a huge fan of P.E. A complete ice breaker of a clashing (in a good way) of artists. Much love to Anthrax and Public Enemy.
Scott Ian of Anthrax wanted to colab with Public Enemy cause he loved their music! And so they did it and it was this! Bring the Noise is a Public Enemy song and Anthrax played a metal tue for it and Scott got to rap with Flavor Flav and Chuck D! It is really cool that this could and did happen!
One of my all time fav collaborations...love watching your music education & your reactions mollyboy...cheers man👍🍻🇦🇺
The big four did a world tour together, at the end of the show all four bands bands played a cover of ‘am i evil.’
this song is still one of the best songs ever written! so fkn good.
Back in New York City in the 1980s, there weren't a lot of clubs that would book hardcore/punk and rap shows because of the reputations the fans had for violence/fights/damage, etc. occurring. Club owners were nervous and avoided booking those bands/rap acts. There were a select few clubs that would book both genres, and it was this reason the members of these music scenes would play these same clubs and even played shows with each other. So the hardcore punk and rap scenes formed close friendships in New York City way before the whole Rock/Rap thing exploded in the mainstream. It wasn't uncommon to see Murphy's Law and Public Enemy share the stage, on the same night. It was really cool to grow up there and be a part of that. Anthrax had ties to the the hardcore scene in New York City. They played shows with many hardcore punk bands before they blew up, and they formed the same sort of bonds with the rap bands. To their credit, they were one of the first metal bands to actually record with rap acts, before they released their own breakout hit, the rap metal song called: "I'm The Man". They recorded with UTFO, which is a well-known rap band in the 80s. You can search UTFO and Anthrax on UA-cam. You'll find the UTFO/Anthrax record called "Lethal". UTFO was famous for their song Roxanne. It was a great time back then. And I was lucky to have witnessed it.
This actually a cover. PE did it on their It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back album. Chuck found out that Scott Ian(the bald guy)would wear PE shirts on stage at Anthrax shows & shouted them out in the original version of this song(Wax is for Anthrax). They became friends & teamed up for this version that came out on their Apocalypse 91 album as well as the Judgement Night soundtrack
Totally with you regarding Linkin Park. Loved Chester all the way through. Can’t believe you’ve never heard this song! I was a teenager when this came out. Major influence on LP, Bizkit, Korn, etc. Love your reactions. Only found you this week! Keep up the good work. ❤
Yooooooo! Bad ass tune man!. 1991......I was at the tail end of high school when it came out. Anthrax was from NYC, so they were exposed to the hip hop culture genuinely. I cant think of much more before that except Aerosmith and Run DMC (85 or 86, I cant remember), joining up for Walk This Way. But yeah man, those 4 pretty much started the whole rap rock thing. Awesome vids man, keep em comin'. I can tell youre for real........Subbed up! \m/
So glad you did this one...huge influence on so much especially nu Metal...still hear this on my local metal radio station to this day
Anthrax was my first metal concert back in 1987. Still an amazing band today!
I saw these two bands tour together at this time..This was about a year or two after I graduated high school.
The first proper metal/hip hop crossover track I remember hearing was "Every Day's A Holiday" by Mordred.
Never seen anyone react to that tune, but it's a banger and it dropped years before "Bring The Noise".
That was more "Funk Metal" and had ska roots
Huge congrats on 30K!
Anthrax started the whole rap-rock thing in 88 or so when they did the I’m the Man EP. It’s an original rap song but played with the band. If you check it out do the Def Uncensored version. All other versions are just alternate remixes, and they’ve remixed it a few times over the years. Public Enemy noticed that Scott from Anthrax was wearing Public Enemy shirts in videos and photos and they gave a shout-out to Anthrax in their song Bring the Noise. This version is a cover, which Anthrax did for a compilation of B-sides, and they invited Public Enemy to appear on it. This was in 91. In 1993, the Judgement Night soundtrack came out, and the gimmick there was that metal/alternative bands would collaborate with rap bands. Slayer and Ice-T did a song, and Onyx and Biohazard had a song as well. These two were important as they were like two sides of the same coin. And then by the end of the 90s all kinds of bands who grew up with both rap and metal started mixing them together. But Anthrax was the first.
I’m talking about heavier music. Run DMC and Aerosmith were first, of course. Run DMC hit the mainstream a few years before Public Enemy did. And Walk This Away put Aerosmith back on the map, after they had completely sunk themselves due to drugs.
Slayer doing two songs on License to Ill and Slayer being sampled on early Public Enemy was before I'm the man and before bring the noise. Rick Rubin had a much bigger hand in fusing these two genres then any band did. Check out the song She Watch Channel Zero from PE, the sample is Angel of Death from Slayer
@@gveharso none of the rap-rock between 1980 and 1988 counts? I know of a bunch from that time period and some of it is even heavy if you count punk as heavy.
@@ScreaminSeamenSlayer did not do 2 songs on Licensed to Ill, Kerry King from Slayer did 2 songs on Licensed. Tom, Jeff and Dave had nothing to do with it.
I didn’t say it didn’t count, just that there was a difference between mainstream music and the heavier side. There was a big divide between metal/rock and hip hop at first. Anthrax were an important breakthrough in genre-bending in that they were getting to be one of the big four at the time, and they were the only ones open about their love of hip hop. I am writing on a phone and this is just a UA-cam comment, so I wasn’t going to write an article about it. Some things had to be left out. Faith No More’s Epic was also crucial when it came out. I wouldn’t quite say not mentioning PE sampling Slayer was an oversight. It was a sample, not a collaboration, but it probably did open the door a crack, so good job for thinking of it.
The first song that Anthrax did as a rap song was a song called I'm the Man. They wanted to show that rap and metal can mix
You should listen to the Judgement Night soundtrack, it's all metal/rock bands mixed with 90's rap.
Ah man, this takes me back. ICE T fronts a hardcore band called Body Count. I recommend a song called Black Hoodie. I'll tell you something that links this video to your previous Slayer reaction too. Public Enemy wrote a song called "She Watch Channel Zero?!" and it samples the riff from Slayers Angel of Death. That's a sweet track too!
Yesss! I love their last three albums. In my opinion they've gotten better over the years which is rare for bands that have been around that long.
