This whole collaboration happened because Scott Ian was always representing Public Enemy shirts a lot, so than Public Enemy threw a shout out to Anthrax in one of their lyrics. So then Scott Ian wrote the music for this song to remake Bring the Noize. Chuck D was originally reluctant to remake bring the Noize, but when he heard the music Scott wrote for it he was all in.
Lol i was only reading the comments to see if anyone had posted this exact thing. I was going to if not. Because as much as i love this song (which is a lot), i think the story of how it came to be might just be cooler than the song itself. Well written comment. 👍
Chuck D. didn't want to do this because he wanted to work with Anthrax on a new song together but Scott said "Just please listen to what we did first then make up your mind" and of course Chuck loved it.
@@lpphillyfan no, but i dont want it to die, forgotten and rotten like jazz and classical and punk. and eventually hip hop will, and as they only sell stuff and clothes, they will have a vey disgracefull dead, would you like that?
This song was groundbreaking. It brought two controversial, yet separate genres together in a way that no one had done before, and it also opened metalheads' eyes to rap, and vice versa for hip-hop heads. Not to mention, the number of rap/metal songs that would ensue after. I think Scott Ian (the bald guitarist with the goatee) mentioned how he went to school with Chuck D, and they were friends growing up
I'm a 43 year old nerdy white dude and one of the things I'm most proud of is that I can sing this whole song at karaoke. I've loved this song since the first time I heard it. This is the best of the early rap-rock connections - awesome from start to finish!
Anthrax was the first heavy metal band ( and part of the Big 4 -- Anthrax, Metallica , Megadeth and Slayer ) to incorporate rap with their music ... " I'm The Man" was their first song they used rap ( sung by themselves ) and it was amazing ! Peace!!
not the remix. It has to be the original. I wore out my old CD and bought a new one that was re mastered or something. It does not have the same mojo at all.
@@masonb9788 True, but you know PE and The Bomb Squad, along with Terminator X would cut some stuff up, you really had to listen and read the liner notes to pick out the samples LOL. Then again, PE was one of best rap groups to rap good to metal/rock beats, not everyone can.
If you want genre collaboration at its best. Check out the entire "Judgement Night" soundtrack. Each track is a different rock/alternative matched with a rap group. Acts like Pearl Jam, Cypress Hill, Sonic Youth, Booyaa Tribe, House of Pain, Slayer, Ice T, the list goes on!
The guy in Anthrax who was rapping is the guitarist Scott Ian he's a big Public Enemy fan & asked them if they wanted to collaborate on a song with them the rest is history
No one is ready for that song. It was entertaining in 87, but the song did not age as well as Bring the Noize. I use to get a kick out of I'm the Man, now I can't stand the song.
Your reaction to one of my old favorites put a huge smile on my face, thank you! This version of Bring the Noise was dreamed up by Scott Ian (bald guy with funky goatee) who not only is huge Public Enemy fan (and a big fan of rap in general), but also a friend of Chuck D. I think they did this in 1990, and the song was pretty big at the time. By the way, you pronounced "Anthrax" perfectly. Thanks for the video!
I remember seeing Anthrax, Public Enemy, and a little known group at the time called Primus in upstate NY. Was an odd billing, but man, what a great show....
John Sheehan Oh shit Primus !!! that rings a bell, I’m from the the Bronx and I new a kid who moved all the way from Watertown had family all in upstate and he had a shirt of the name Now I think he knew em personally didn’t know they weren’t so known
John Sheehan I feel ya brother I’m a New Yorker all day so any music from there I give em a chance it wasn’t till I joined the army and ended up being stationed in Peekskill that I realized NY state is beautiful first time I saw a bear up close was at West Point I advise all city kids to one day check out the upstate !
The metal backdrop they did to that song from and with Onyx just took that song to a completely new level. IMO, the beat is better than their original.
Yes!!! This is the song that single handedly spawned the Korn’s, Limp Bizkit’s & Rage Against The Machines!! It proved that heavy metal beats married perfectly with a rapping style vocals!! I love this song and you will enjoy reacting to Anthrax songs! Trust me!! Great band! Part of the Big 4!
I saw Anthrax in Woodbridge, NJ back in 1999-2000 & they opened up with this song. They were fun seeing live. Scott Ian is the guitarist who was rapping. Another great video Shaq, keep up the great work my guy.
I remember hearing this when it came out and having my little metalhead mind blown. React to their other rap track, "I'm the Man." In that one they make fun of themselves for being white guys rapping.
So, since, obviously, you're too young to know how this came about: "Bring The Noise" was a single off of Public Enemy's: It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back. (which came out in ...either late '87 or early '88). The song's lyrics shouted-out a number of artists (all N.Y.-based, I believe), the Thrash Metal band: Anthrax [Yes: Named after the virulent disease. 👍😜], being one of those. [the relevant couplet: "Beat is for Eric B. and L.L. as well, hell! Wax is for Anthrax! Still it can rock bells..." (a reference back to L.L. Cool J.'s "Rock the Bells" from his debut album Radio)] Anthrax were hip-hop fans and were honored by Chuck including them in his lyrics and wanted to, somehow, "give props back" in regard to that. ...So, what ended-up happening was that, for P.E.'s 4th full-length [Apocalypse '91 ...The Enemy Strikes Black], they re-cut (or "covered" - It's not, really, a "cover" if you are doing your OWN SONG!!!!-Duuuhhh! 😛😛) "Bring The Noise" (maybe, their most popular song ...of all time!) incorporating all the members of Anthrax into it (and filming the video, with a bunch of fans of both artists invited to show-up and be in the vid., in downtown Manhattan). Anthrax had done a "comedy rap track" called: "I'm The Man" [yes: based on some crazy dialogue from a Rodney Dangerfield movie (Easy Money [1983]) ], (written in, about, 1984) which they performed live at most shows and during which band-members Charlie Benante [drummer] and Joey Belladonna [lead vocalist] switched instruments [i.e.: Belladonna played most of the drums and Benante rapped]; the other raps and vocal sections (including the lines from Easy Money! - That is NOT a sample!!) were performed by, rhythm guitarist (at the time): Scott Ian and bassist: Frank Bello (who did the "Julio" parts). ...so: these guys had some, actual, experience in "spittin' bars" and, although, "I'm The Man" was written to be "a joke song," really, Anthrax did NOT think hip-hop or rapping was "a joke" by any means and were some of the first rock musicians to, often and loudly, state and reiterate their respect for hip-hop music, artists and styles. They had a sense of humour, but they took hip-hop seriously. 👍 The shaved-headed guy that you see doing the 2nd verse (which, yes, contains the "wax is for Anthrax" line, in it [He doesn't say that line! 😛🤘🔥] ) in the video is Anthrax's (rhythm) guitarist: Scott Ian (He had, just, shaved his head at this time - this was NOT a "popular" thing in metal or in music, in general - It was, still, relegated, mainly, to being a "hard-core punk" style or stylistic reference. ...Yes! Even in '91! -- Scott had, probably, recently, resigned himself to going bald and figured: "this is my best option," too 😛). ...so: there's some real background! Anthrax and P.E. and Chuck and Scott and Charlie and Dan Spitz (etc.) remain friends to this day, as well. 👍
@@chilesuicmez you should hit wiki and you'll see that dude just knew the story from back in the day. This song was super popular, and the story followed it around. Ask anybody born in the mid seventies to early eightys that listened to both metal and hip hop.
@@rshelburg nah, for a song that hurted metal and the identity, and eventually killed it, nah im good. this and aerosmith with the other rapper was the beginning of the end.
This song was released in 1987. The bald dude rapping is Anthrax's guitarist, Scott Ian. He was the one who first approached Chuck D with the idea for this collab. He's a huge Public Enemy fan. Chuck apparently turned him down at first, but Scott gave him a demo of the guitar track he had already done for the song. Chuck called him after listening to the track and said "Let's do it." The rest is history.
Love your reaction man... I was a kid when Run DMC was tearing up the Rap and rock world... this song with Public Enemy and Anthrax united two groups that seemed to be so different...music has so much power to cross all boundaries and bring people together
Damn straight, son! I was cranking this out in my car with the windows down almost 30 years ago here in the UK. 🇬🇧 🤘 Attack Of The Killer B's is an essential Anthrax album.
Chuck D is like a precise weapon....his lyrics are fire. Anthrax, they are normally turbo shred, but here, they are surprisingly resilient. This is the first real fusion of hip hop and thrash.
I’m an old guy. Thank you for reacting to these classics. I actually forgot about this one. I too am a music lover of all genres. Outstanding work! Keep it up!
I remember being a teenager in the early 90's when this came out. First time I ever heard rap and metal played together and I dont think anyone has done it as great ever since.
Back when this came out I almost always had it on blast in my 78 C10 pickup. I always thought it was nearly the most perfect blend of the 2 genres I loved the most.
“ Radio stations I question their blackness They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this “......my favorite line in the song....and many urban stations did not play this....at least not in the Washington D.C. area...
It's true! Hardly got air in MANY areas - and it's a fabulous song! I always wondered if it was just "too loud" still, like Slayer, Celtic Frost - they delegated metal to one night/ one hour on MTV back then...
Sad, as this was a song that kicked down doors and got no airplay. Radio is the next form of media to die more than likely. They continue to resist change and not take a chance on new artists (this, at the time).
Seriously Bud, You make us OG's proud ( not kidding ) Your reactions are genuine and honest, AND you like the music we grew up with. Please keep reacting to vids.
Gotta do Helmet with House of Pain (from Judgement Night soundtrack): “Just Another Victim." I like it even better than this one, but both are classics.
This is a rare one. I remember seeing this and it blew my mind, two worlds colliding and making a whole new sound. This created a lot of bands like limp bizkit style. Anthrax has a song called NOT, it’s a rap style song, love this band
Coach....gotta do "I'm the MAN" by ANTHRAX. Make sure it's the uncensored version.... bars for days. "They say rap and metal can never mix, well all of them can suck my......" finish dat man, finish dat.
Not the first time Anthrax played around with rap. They did "I'm the Man" which was kind of a novelty song, and then the pre-chorus of "Blood" has Joey and Scott rapping. Anthrax and Public Enemy even toured together.
"We are all closer than we think" Sums it all up right there. There are forces that keep trying t divide us, but we shall overcome. Seriously. It had to get this bad before it gets good.
I saw them do this live in Oakland at the Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium when they toured in 1990. It was very cool. Public Enemt opened, Anthrax headlines, the encore was Bring the Noise with everyone on stage.
Hell yeah Shaq! Thank you! I consider that reaction a personal favor! I saw that show live in Salt Lake City. The Attack of the Killer Bees tour. Fucking awesome! Gangstas and metal heads all in the same place, same time. No violence, no animosity.... Just proof that music can bring folks together, that music transcends division and create unity. We need more of that in the world today! So thanks! From a metal head trucker!
Rap Metal was very popular during the '90s. Especially in the inner cities. Urban areas. Cali, the west coast, NY, Texas it was big. Still is. Hell most Nu-Metal and Alternative Metal pretty much this. Rap and Metal/punk has the same type of FU in your face attitude. True to life lyrics, edgy stuff. See Body Count, RATM, Urban Dance Squad, Cypress Hill, Beastie Boys, Papa Roach, SOAD, KORN, early Limp Bizkit, some Suicidal Tendencies, etc
Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm. It is inspiring to see someone loving the music and being so open to it, demonstrating the power of music when you LISTEN to it rather than just having it play in the background.
This whole collaboration happened because Scott Ian was always representing Public Enemy shirts a lot, so than Public Enemy threw a shout out to Anthrax in one of their lyrics. So then Scott Ian wrote the music for this song to remake Bring the Noize. Chuck D was originally reluctant to remake bring the Noize, but when he heard the music Scott wrote for it he was all in.

it was exactly in this song where they namedropped Anthrax. PE recorded the original in It Takes a Nation, the collab came three years later.

Yep, the same reason Gn'R asked NWA to open their tour in '91, and NWA's managers ruined it.
Especially when this came out with Tipper Gore and her bullshit PMRC labels that actually helped sell more albums
All these artists were pioneers in the hip-hop + rock revolution.

Absolutely. Every backwards ass thinking ignorant fool needs to feel and accept that.

Onyx and Biohazard "Judgement Night" and "Slam" are some other collabs of metal and rap
Of that track...house of pain and helmet..."Just another victim" ...I can still recite the bars 30 years on
That whole sound track was sick. I remember that when it came out.

I’m an old guy. Thank you for reacting to these classics. I actually forgot about this one. I too am a music lover of all genres. Outstanding work! Keep it up!
I remember being a teenager in the early 90's when this came out. First time I ever heard rap and metal played together and I dont think anyone has done it as great ever since.
"Walk this Way" came first. I know Run DMC and Aerosmith were less extreme, but same idea.
My face hurts from smiling through the whole video.
Ice-T once said something to the effect of "I look at music as music, and I happen to like good music."
Chuck D is severely underrated as an MC.
How is he underrated? Public enemy is in the rock and roll Hall of Fame
Not sure about that...
He's the man. He isn't as highly rated now bc of time. But he's well respected in music
Damn right
One of the best of all time. Hands down.
Check out "I'm the man" by Anthrax. Also the other guy rapping is Anthrax rhythm guitarist Scott Ian
These two went on tour together and would do bring the noise together at the end of the show. Was one of the awesomest moments in my life ever!
“I feel like I’m the Flavor Flav of UA-cam.”
You rock, dude. Love
"I don't know nothin about Anthrax, I don''t even know if im saying that right" choked on my food lol. and yes you were saying it right.
Yes! Loved this song back in the 90s. Best HipHop/Metal mash up. Glad you got around to doing this track Shaq!
Clicked so fast my guy back on the metal
Same
YEP!!!!!!!!!
Also Anthrax is one of the biggest metal bands of all time lol
One of the big 4!
One of my all time favorites...❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
I want to see this dude react to:
Push it - Static X
God, I love that whole album!!! Shaq, please do Static X!!!!
Anything from the Static-X 'Wisconsin Death Trip' album is gtg!
@@bethlewis639 X-cutioners with Static X and Mike Shinoda It's Goin Down
duke nukem: land of the babes intro music
I loved that shit :D
Bled for Days is way better than Push It, but WDT is one of my all-time favorite metal albums
Say what you want about Flavor Flav, he is one of the best hype men ever. Anthrax and Public Enemy are two greats in their respective genres.
Back when this came out I almost always had it on blast in my 78 C10 pickup. I always thought it was nearly the most perfect blend of the 2 genres I loved the most.
“ Radio stations I question their blackness
They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this “......my favorite line in the song....and many urban stations did not play this....at least not in the Washington D.C. area...
It's true! Hardly got air in MANY areas - and it's a fabulous song! I always wondered if it was just "too loud" still, like Slayer, Celtic Frost - they delegated metal to one night/ one hour on MTV back then...
Sad, as this was a song that kicked down doors and got no airplay. Radio is the next form of media to die more than likely. They continue to resist change and not take a chance on new artists (this, at the time).
Chuck D was definitely taking a dig at black radio stations not playing certain types of music, even his own rap music much less metal and rock.
It got plenty of airplay on MTV Headbangers Ball but nothing on radio
Never hit a notification this fast. Been begging Lost in Vegas for a year to react to this song. Your no. 1 now bro.
I love your reaction and your love of heavy metal and rap all smashed together. Great track.
Seriously Bud, You make us OG's proud ( not kidding ) Your reactions are genuine and honest, AND you like the music we grew up with. Please keep reacting to vids.
Gotta do Helmet with House of Pain (from Judgement Night soundtrack): “Just Another Victim." I like it even better than this one, but both are classics.
This is a rare one. I remember seeing this and it blew my mind, two worlds colliding and making a whole new sound. This created a lot of bands like limp bizkit style. Anthrax has a song called NOT, it’s a rap style song, love this band
Coach....gotta do "I'm the MAN" by ANTHRAX. Make sure it's the uncensored version.... bars for days. "They say rap and metal can never mix, well all of them can suck my......" finish dat man, finish dat.
Yep
Oh yeah I forgot “I’m the man” hell yeah Joey and Ian were awesome
yo watch the beat!

@@Jimbodaddy74 No man it's DICK!
For the record, he's just rhyming Chuck's last verses from the original song.
This song is perfection, a perfect drug , the beat , the combination of metal and rap , lyrics , the way they work together. Absolutely perfect
Just listen to the entire "Judgement Night" Soundtrack 😃
Perhaps the greatest soundtrack ever. SAVAGE.
Very true
To this date....that is still one of my all time favorite albums.
Hell yes
Dam i forgot about that album
Not the first time Anthrax played around with rap. They did "I'm the Man" which was kind of a novelty song, and then the pre-chorus of "Blood" has Joey and Scott rapping. Anthrax and Public Enemy even toured together.
Also worked with UTFO as well.
"We are all closer than we think" Sums it all up right there. There are forces that keep trying t divide us, but we shall overcome. Seriously. It had to get this bad before it gets good.
I couldn't have clicked any faster on this
You have got to hear “I’m The Man” from Anthrax!!! It’s the craziest song they have ever recorded!
Ive never heard this song honestly till now but its slammin. Love the beats and even the lyrics in it. Very cool. 👍🏻
"Music brings everybody together"
🖤
This song was a GAME CHANGER.
Game changer? How?
@@soloparaplaystation6624 metal rap boom
Yes you're saying it right and that is Scott Ian. 🤓🤘
I saw them do this live in Oakland at the Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium when they toured in 1990. It was very cool. Public Enemt opened, Anthrax headlines, the encore was Bring the Noise with everyone on stage.
Coach, you need to do Pink Floyd - Echoes live at Pompeii! It'll seriously blow you away
This song was in WWE day of reckoning for GameCube. Love this song.
Hell yeah Shaq! Thank you! I consider that reaction a personal favor!
I saw that show live in Salt Lake City. The Attack of the Killer Bees tour. Fucking awesome! Gangstas and metal heads all in the same place, same time. No violence, no animosity.... Just proof that music can bring folks together, that music transcends division and create unity. We need more of that in the world today!
So thanks! From a metal head trucker!
Rap Metal was very popular during the '90s. Especially in the inner cities. Urban areas. Cali, the west coast, NY, Texas it was big. Still is. Hell most Nu-Metal and Alternative Metal pretty much this.
Rap and Metal/punk has the same type of FU in your face attitude. True to life lyrics, edgy stuff.
See Body Count, RATM, Urban Dance Squad, Cypress Hill, Beastie Boys, Papa Roach, SOAD, KORN, early Limp Bizkit, some Suicidal Tendencies, etc
Listen to public Enemy Fight The Power
Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm. It is inspiring to see someone loving the music and being so open to it, demonstrating the power of music when you LISTEN to it rather than just having it play in the background.
The whole "Judgement Night" sound track..trust me
The entire "Judgement Night" soundtrack
This!!! 👆🏻
YES
Dope choice!! 🤙
I was going to say this, but figured I should scroll through to see if anybody else had already done so!
/hero
\m/
Greatest show I ever saw back in the day was Primus, PE, Anthrax. So many different people at one show. It was amazing.
You guys think he's ready for Gojira - Flying Whales?
Heaviest matter in the universe but it might scare him lol 😂❤️😉
Whether he's ready or not it's something he needs to hear.
Pretty deep shit. Maybe let him get some more "underground?" metal first. Don't wanna scare him away lol
I wasn't and I'm so glad I heard it
RiskySkiita maybe start him with some thing milder, like LOVE, lololol
