"Maybe this is some punk rock shit I don't know about." LMAO The Mighty Mighty Bad Brains!!!
Daryl is so fucking cool
We agree! If you enjoyed Daryl's bit, you can check out the rest of the Classic Tales videos here: bit.ly/2bbPXSV
"We the Bad Brains. We got to be blazing." :)
"everyone knows HR can be eccentric..." is the best line EVER!!!
just a little
Yeah. Just a tad eccentric lol
I'm all like...do tell!
H.R.? Eccentric? Naaahhh...
my translate goes to "sentry" in this part, that's why i don't have understood, thanks
There was a degree of intensity to the Bad Brains live shows that few other punk bands could replicate.
None, respect the pioneers.
The only band that came close was Fishbone in their prime
The sad shit is; that's just the tip of the iceberg when HR and crazy shit is concerned.
bad brains is one of the sickest bands
Darry is so down to earth. Like the way he starts all frazzled, like he needs a hit, before talking much. HR is epic..
This is so far one of the best episodes yet
Spencer Will yesssss
@@vans what the fuck
"everyone knows HR can be eccentric..." is the best line EVER!!!
Biggest Understatement...
100% PMA!
we got that attitude
Totally
We got that PMA!
@@tradewinds2319Dont care what you may do
I talked to a guy at Pittsburgh Guitars who saw the Brains at Carnegie Mellon University in their prime, he told me they brought HR out, taped to an old school desk going berserk. Glad Darryl got to elaborate on the story.
Pittsburgh!!
Ah man, I was at that show! They told us that he had 'hurt himself' at a gig the day before and so that's why he was taped down. But by the end of the show he had wrangled himself out of the tape and did a most excellent stage dive onto the crowd (which must have hurt if he had a hernia). The other thing I remember from the show was being the mosh pit with skinheads during the hardcore numbers - and then we were all skanking around like Rastafarians during the reggae numbers! Totally surreal - and one of my favorite shows.
@@tmenner I'm so jealous right now bro
CMU put on the best gigs -- wish I was at that one! Holy shit!
I saw Bad Brains at the University of Buffalo in the '80s and after the first song, a tech guy came out and duct taped HR to a desk. The rest of the gig he was bouncing all over the stage taped to that thing. I always wondered what was up with that. Thanks Darryl.
This animation along with the way Darryl tells the story is totally on point
Please do more of these with Bad Brains!
one of those shows was in pittsburgh,now i finally know why he was strapped in that night..
Does anybody know where I can find a recording of one of those shows? Knowing how batshit insane HR could get onstage, it would be amazing to see him strapped to a chair going ballistic!
+Alex Greggary so true. assuming you checked here - have you tried Vimeo? if all else fails - you might want to hit up the band directly.
Alex Rees Did you ever find anything?
Alex Rees Not a lot of Bad Brains footage because their shows would get so batshit nuts, filming in the venue was damn near impossible with people flying all over the place.
Alex Rees even a photo would be great - would love it if anyone could point me in the right direction
@@vans wtf are you doing here?
I saw Darryl Jennifer in the 80's while cruising around Richmond Virginia on my skateboard. Odd thing is I saw HR at a party when Gwar played at Cedar Crest on top the half pipe. We were in the cat walks drinking beer and stuff. Ian McKay was there in the crowd and Jay Henry smoked that half pipe earlier in the day. 1988 before the roof/cover was installed over the half pipe. Awesome experience.
Bad Brains was the best thing that ever happened to music! Period!
Haha “this must be some punk shit even I don’t know about”
Saw BB at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel in Providence RI in 1985 with Murphy’s Law opening. Second best show of my life.
"the wild punk shit I never knew" - sounds like typical Bad Brains show.
I saw the Bad Brains at the University of Buffalo on that tour. I think it was 1988. All I could see most of the show HR's hair flying up and down. Finally got close enough to see the school desk. They still rocked.
Seen a thousand live shows...never seen better than this band....ever
That's so gnarly, fuck yeah Bad Brains
Favorite one so far because of the fuckin Bad Brains.
AnotherRandomPoser lol. he had me at "How you doing?". couldn't stop laughing at the radness.
Yeah man lol hes fucking sick
P.M.A on and on and on! Best shows ever!
I don’t know why but Daryl’s impression of HR had me in tears especially when they had that music in the background 😂 😂 😂 😂
Never has a long intro been so charming
I was at one of the famous chair shows (around 88 I'm thinking) when they played the Token Lounge in Detroit. I can't tell the story as well as Mr. Jennifer, but this is crazy. Before they launched into their set, the techs using leather belts, the same kind used to keep your pants up ( when that was popular ) and just before they started their set someone put a joint in HR's hands which were bound to the arms of the chairs so he couldn't smoke it even if he wanted to. Someone lit it and it burned down to nothing while it was between his fingers, unreal.
centralscrutinizer66 good times.
centralscrutinizer66 I remember hearing about him taping himself to chairs in the 80's in Jr. High School. I heard he brought out his g/f on stage one night, handcuffed to her for the while show.
Sweet! The funny thing about HR that people may or may not be aware of. HR was a true "cocksman" meaning that he was extremely popular with the ladies sexually. Before HR claimed that HR meant human rights, it was a nickname given to him by the people who knew him standing for Hunting Rod. HR was taking premed courses before the band became popular and he dropped out of school. Look at early footage and you'll see he was built like an athlete and when not on stage (and on a little down the road) extremely well dressed. I don't question your story, because he did some really crazy shit, like delaying a show for 7 hours in Philly because they didn't have weed and wouldn't go on without it. The BBs have a long history and I don't doubt anything. I never heard that he handcuffed himself to a female, but if that was the case it was probably a wild ride and a sore wrist for her.
eruweraranj0r
not in Detroit, where it's half tobacco and half shake.
This was in the eighties, weed was different then. It was far from sticky icky and wrought with seeds, can't believe I smoked it.
We all went to watch them in 1987 in the UK and they were so fuckin good 👳 . . We all went skating ▶️ sick night
Punk as fuck, guys suffering from a hernia and still puts on a gig!
Thanks bad brains for having that ATTITUDE!!
I smoked weed him and the rest of the band at the Santa Monica Civic when they opened for Discharge in 1982.
I saw one of these shows. It was 1986 promoting I Against I.
+Bruce Reckahn Talbert, saw that one too.
These are the best I like how half the thing is the begining
This must be some wild punk shit I don't even know bout.
What an absolute legend, just as an old Bad Brains fan i love this guy in a total fanboy way, i don't care man Bad Brains are one my fav bands of all time, it sucks i will never get to see them perform back in the 80s.
Hey, DopethronePunkUK! Thanks for sharing that. If you thought this was cool, catch more from Classic Tales here: bit.ly/2lDZDNN
FUCK YES BAD BRAINS PMA ALL DAY
Right Brigade!!!!!
This guy gets it
HR in his time was and still is the best singer I have ever seen and argueably the best there ever was.
omg are they back!? new episodes?
Yeah!!!
Confirming HR was taped to a chair in Detroit or maybe Ann Arbor MI, can’t remember which club though.i have pictures somewhere
This is one of the coolest stories ever
FUCKING BAD BRAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Moshes in room*
that's wat i would do
HR is the baddest muthafucka on the planet and he knows it.
The Bad Brains took Punk and sent that shit to Mars!
There is NO other band with the influence on hardcore punk that these beautiful black men had. They stay golden.
Pittsburgh. I against I tour. Skeebo Hall, Carnegie Mellon University.
Holy shit dude, Travis Scott should take notes. Fucking insane!!
He can go on ahead and tell us some more stories. I know he has plenty🤗
yess! bad brains!
bad brains are huge assholes, they vandalized the home of the big boys in austin tx
blisterpacman, maybe because "Biscuit" pulled some stupid shit. He pissed off his other band members at the time enough that even they wouldn't continue in the band with him:
"After a Bad Brains show in Austin that ended in controversy involving Biscuit (and later inspired the songs "Brickwall" and "Pay to Come Along" by MDC), conflicts began to arise within the band, specifically between Biscuit and Chris. The Big Boys played their last show very unexpectedly. Biscuit and Chris never spoke to each other again."
Hahaha! Oh, man, I remember hearing about this back then. No internet at the time so I didn't believe it. 35 years later I find out it was TRUE!
Bad Brains invented chaircore gotta love it 🙂
Hilarious animation!
I love to think he said, "You're going to have to ducktape me to the chair because there's no way I will be able to stop myself."
I read an auto biogeography about Bob Marley he said I think the punk music ok
Even with medical issues , he still plays the show
The animation is hilarious!
I wish it was on video!⚡
I definitely here the DC in his talk. I wonder if they were fans if GO-GO music. Being black in DC thats all one listens too.
One thing I miss about D.C (born n raised) is driving around and hearing people blast go-go in their cars. In LA now.
They were fans of GO-GO! They talk about it in a recent documentary how they were building off GO GO and going more hardcore with it, they said the American GOGO dance was the mosh
Thanks for the super cool little story from our idols, if I say I need more of these how about a classic tale from L7
That's a good story
I 💋bad brains 4ever🧠🤯
Wow so sick
i grew up in the 70's and80's in la.remember watching these guys throw it down with black flag.hard as hell
For a trip down memory lane check out more Classic Tales here: bit.ly/2u2DAD6
My one interaction with HR was when he'd just moved to El Paso, outside the venue after his show he was walking by and I said great show my man, to which he replied without missing a beat or step and said "Yes, Sir!" as he kept walking past. Legend.
BAD BRAINS BABY!!!!!!!!!!
Classic bad brains.
Uggghhh I love him!
Thanks for the support, Jessica! If you were hyped on that, you can catch more from Classic Tales here: bit.ly/2lDZDNN
best tale ever. maybe the only one worth watching so far.
Kids these days don't have heart like that in music
Only bumper sticker I ever rocked, BAD BRAINS, legit got it from a dread on Venice beach
I ducking love you my man!!!!!
Lol. Love The Bad Brains
I love him
BAD BRAINS!!
I have followed your whole career. H.R. has done lost his mind! Bad Brains in my opinion is the greatest band on the planet! Just watched your new video A Band In DC and was shocked at how HR was acting. He acting like he's in a dream and everything is perfect. Tell him put down the hash pipe and rock wit da Bad Brains. Rasta Live...
Saw the brains at the international 1 venue in mqnchester i think it was 89? There were punks, rasta's and rockers moshing dancing.....smoking!! One of the best gigs of my life, all for one one for all.\,,/
Man I wish there was footage of this.
Him : everyone knows how HR was
Me : who the fuck are you?
1:24 vans hiring the bob's burgers team to do their animation
Yo,,,,, I was at one of their shows in Buffalo and I was witness to that school chair and HR did half the set taped up to that shit....un freakin believable !!!!!!
HR had a hernia!
Saw bad brains with ny hoods
At cbgb in 80s. We had a good time anyway but looking back show sucked had to keep stoping due to lights not working .lol
I wish I could find video of one of these chair shows
Re-ignition, At The Movies, I and I Surivive, I Against I, and She's Calling You
Crazy... I can relate.
intro song?
twas wonderin what that chair was about - HR/played Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill NC -sat on a chair the whole show time - but no duct tape
HR what a showman!
.When ever I see or hear the name HR...I get flashbacks...LOL...
I got HR stories....My brother Eric Dantas had him living with us at our Music Club/Hotel....the Church House Inn/Red Brick Tavern...Providence RI...somewhere between 1987-1992.
.....My brother had him do some shows...where he chatted over a DJ and then we got some hardcore kids to back him....
...He was Out There....Literally every single women that walked close to him...He would reach out and say..Come with Me...He slept with all our Maids and would hit on every single women in the Club...Non Stop....
....I believe he already had like 4 kids in Providence alone from different women.....He even hit on my Mother who was 58 or so.....
......He would swim thru the Bar and gently touch every girl he would walk by and say .".Come with me"....and they did.....Ive heard he has at least 80 known children.....If the Bar wasnt open... during the day he would walk the streets and he would come back with some girl somehow........you had to see it to believe it....This guy was more of a Machine than a shark..He wasnt rude or aggressive...He was just a man on a mission....It was like he was picking fruit...not picking up women....
......
............It just so happened that AL Anderson guitarist for Bob Marleys Wailers....Just finished some gigs with a band he had called Al Andersons All-Stars.....So Eric put them together and booked them at a Vermont Reggae Fest..And he rented a van and packed the equipment and they drove up....Got backstage opened the door to the Van to unload...HR stepped out.....A women walked over..And they blinked for a second...And nobody saw HR again...They never played.....
A few years later . I was living in Amsterdam and Al Anderson was touring with his band the All-Stars and the Itals.....and he came to town with a German girlfriend...And he told me they had to go over to do some UK shows and asked if she could stay with me....So I said sure....
.....Like 3 weeks or so later....I got a German friend to help me get her to contact her family and get her back to Germany...I had to tell her he is not coming back..........I learned a few years later.....That two of the Itals members got into an argument at the Train Station and one pulled out a knife...and was just waving it around and accidently cut someone just a little bit ..but they got arrested..and the tour was off...And Al just left the girl with me.....
......But having lived with HR for a couple weeks was a you had to see it to believe it..experience......
I've had two hernias, one on each side, one when was 20, and again when i'was 40. Them motherfuckas hurt
👍🏿👍🏾👍🏽👍🏼👍🏻👍
