Bad Brains. Guys who came from jazz backgrounds who embraced punk, and were crucial to the creation and rise of hardcore music. Amazing band--technically way more talented than virtually all of their peers.
They influenced bands like Metallica as well
MINOR THREAT BLACK FLAG BAD BRAINS GAVE THEM A KICK START HARDCORE REGGAE THEY ARE THE PINNACLE DON'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THE BAD BRAINS
They also did reggae
Vernon Reed and doctor strange were tight
their whole postive message changed the tone of the hardcore scene as well. Sending a positive vibe through an extreme form of music in a volatile scene with a potential for violence.
They need to be in the R-N-R Hall Of Fame. Period.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU IT'S CRIMINAL THAT THEY'RE NOT IN THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME THEY'RE GAME CHANGERS AND MUSIC IS IN A FAR BETTER PLACE BECAUSE OF THEIR INFLUENCE ACROSS THE BOARD
And Kraftwerk
Inducting them would be an admission to decades of ignoring them. Ask Vernon Reid what he thinks.
They already are. And have been.
@@modifidious7171 nominated for the hall of fame in 2016 but didn't get induction so there YA GO IT'S A CRIMINAL OVERSIGHT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED
The BAD BRAINS ARE LEGENDS!!!! they are the reason the BEASTIE BOYS have their name. One of the most influential punk bands ever. Ask any punk. GOATS
Facts!
Never heard of them and I was a teenager in the 80s.
@@celebrityinhiding4938 str8 facts!!
ROCK FOR LIGHT : )
True true..... as far as I'm concerned though I would probably say the misfits had the biggest impact of all in the U.S. but I could be wrong
Bad Brains aren't just a band. They're a force of nature!
Still one of my favorites bands after 38 + years. I remember hearing them as a young punk in the early 80's and I still listen to them in my 50's. There influence on numerous genres music and can not be over stated.
Exactly! Best Band EVER! So much fun! "Banned In DC"
Good to hear. I'm 28 and exiting my youth. I worry that I'll grow out of my roots, but it's good to know it doesnt happen to everyone!
@@dustinwroten353 I'm 52 i first heard these guys when I was 14 year's old and they are still in my most played list of band's i saw them here in Aotearoa new zealand many many years ago DON'T LET AGE GET IN THE WAY OF WICKEDLY AWESOME MUSIC AGE DON'T MATTER POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE DOES. I've got THAT P.M.A
@@dustinwroten353 Bro I'm 52 years old been listening to PUNKROCK since I was a kid and apart from SKA AND REGGAE IT'S ALL I LISTEN TOO YOU DON'T GROW UP AND OUT OF STEP WITH GREAT MUSIC
Randy 38 year's ago i was 14 year's old and every Monday night at 730 on student radio it was the RESURRECTION PUNK SHOW I'd be doing the dishes after dinner with my shitty little mono tape deck next to me I'd record every song if i liked it keep if not rewind and wait for the next song ONE MONDAY NIGHT IN 1984 A SONG CAME ON WHEN IT FINISHED I PUSHED REWIND AND LISTENED TO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN IT WAS ONE OF THOSE LEFT TURN RIGHT TURN MOMENT'S IN LIFE..... THE SONG WAS
ATTITUDE
Got that P.M.A I'M LUCKY TO HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SEEING THEM 30ish years ago
This godamn record changed the whole game. They bridged the gap between punk, hardcore and metal. No one could touch them in that era. They inspired everybody, and everybody is still trying to catch up with them.
Love Bad Brains. Hard to think of a better, more energetic live band. Legends they are.
Fishbone is up there in live energy!
Having seen both in the 80’s, I can’t argue with you.
Not really tho
I saw Bad Brains in the '80's with my best friend Fred! That show was pure electricity!!
Whoa, Fugazi and Bad Brains! Reacting to actual punk! Bad Brains were the "house band" for the legendary CBGB's venue. The video of their 1982 concert there is like getting punk injected through your eyes. A reaction to the first 10 minutes of that would be awesome, since the songs are way too short for a normal reaction.
^This!^
I Against I and Repeater
I literally just found out about this band bc of the STEVE-O podcast on YT. He has the legendary comedic actor Fred Armisen (SNL, Eurotrip, Portlandia) on and they got into a top-5 punk albums and on FREDS list he mentioned BRAD BRAINS - I AGAINST I and Steve-O yelled outloud that it was in his list too! Fred went on to say that they might be the best punk band EVER and after listening to the whole I Against I album that was release in 86' - I AGREE. THEY ARE THE SOUND that ALL PUNK imo should be molded.
Rolling stone on their WIKI page said that BAD BRAINS is the mother of black hard rock bands. I believe it. They are truly a hardcore punk, alternative metal, Punk rock group fully by African Americans and FUCKING ROCK harder than anyone before them to my knowledge.
The Wiki page also said that the Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Guns N' Roses, Soundgarden, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, Deftones, Clutch, Green Day, the Offspring ALL WERE HUGELY INPSIRED BY BAD BRAINS. Without Bad Brains SO MANY LEGENDARY BANDS to come in the 90's would not be the same.
Now put Bad Brains, Scorpions, and Foreigner in the R&R HOF finally! Its a crime these men arent inducted!
Sailin on is my personal favorite from them. Great band great energy. Great Rasta vibe, too
Their early albums were special in the way that they were a mix of pure (hardcore) punk songs and quite a few pure reggae songs. My favorite of those is "I And I Survive".
Punk music was born out of Reggae in the 80s.
"They sound like racoons going thru the trash!" LMAO, might be thee GOAT reaction quote ever!!
That was hilarious!!!
Raccoons are definitely punk
Lmao. Love Lex’s analogies. So left field and always catch me by surprise. Enjoyed seeing these guys live in the 80’s.
Words can not express how important The Almighty Bad Brains is, are, and forever will be
One of my all time favorite bands. I started listening to them back in the 80s. So much raw energy in one song and then the earthy sounds of reggae in the next. BAD BRAINS
Used to be my favorite band before I got into bandmaid. They are so versatile and the drummer is insanely good. Give thanks and praises is another gem.
When compact discs first hit the market, the first CD I ever bought was I Against I. Bad Brains are legends, punk rock royalty.
the OGs of hard-core. THANK YOU!!!!
One of the Greatest punk bands of all time, First album is GOATED
I'd put them more in the hardcore scene than punk.
@@erikbeck3662 Hardcore is Punk atleast 80s and 90s hardcore
Their second album, Sailin' On is badass too, but with better production. Funny enough, Ric Ocasek from The Cars produced it. Apparently he was a big fan.
Bad Brains formed in the late 70s and were a ferocious Hardcore punk band until the mid 80s, when they incorporated a more "Metal" sound into their music. All of the band became Rastafarians in the early 80s and they would usually play a few reggae songs during their live sets. I saw them play live in 1982 and they were absolutely phenomenal, one of the best live acts I've ever seen. If you want to react to one of their earlier songs, I'd suggest "The big takeover" or "Banned in DC".
Totally agree! Saw them too, but already a bit later, early 90's, incredibly loud & a bit too much Reggae for me, but still absolutely brilliant! As I wrote above, can't understand how the two can sit so still listening to "I against I"...I wish they would react to some Nomeansno, Wrong is such a great album, maybe "Oh no Bruno!" or "the End of all things"....
Sound More Metal? They Associated Hardcore Punk.
Sex Pistols, Ramones & Dead Kennedys Are Few Of Their Major Influences.
@@emildelapena979 Compare their first two albums to the later ones and you'll see a change from pure Hardcore to a more Metal sound.
@@marcharley6465 It's Hardcore Man, They Adapt The Sound Of Fellow Hardcore American Punk Band -- Million Of A Dead Cops.
Oh Yeah, It's Sound Metal But Bad Brains Were Not A Metal Band.

This IS Hardcore. Welcome.
Lex I love you for this one: "reminds me of a bunch of raccoons going through the trash"! LOL! Perfect description.
Wow, you found them!! Fishbone's gotta be next. Jamal ain't done none of these bands. You guys Rock! These were some best times. I had my Afro Mohawk working in a all night Burger shop! Rocking to this all night on the Grill.
Very popular local band here in the Baltimore / DC area. I think they were label mates with Fugazi.Dave Grohl was inspired by both bands.
The Bad Brains were on SST, wheras Fugazi had their own label called Discord. And yes, both bands were very influential on Dave Grohl.
HR (Human Rights) is a legend!! Bad Brains are punk legends!
I love Bad Brains , and my friend Dave Gardner just remixed their first Lp for the reissue on Vinyl , and it was a dream come true for him.
Dave is a badass.
Brains are the best. Overstand comes from Rasta. Understand = Overstand, you and I = I and I.
Not the song I probably would have started with (especially for reactions), but glad you have dipped your toes into the Bad Brains waters. They are as punk as anything, as pioneering as anybody, and as influential as The Beatles. So many artists...from Ian Mackaye to Henry Rollins....From Beastie Boys to Dave Grohl.....were influenced by Bad Brains. Check out other songs by them! I suggest Supertouch/Shitfit (my favorite), Pay To Cum, Attitude, Sail On, or FVK (Fearless Vampire Killers). That whole ROIR Sessions album is OUTSTANDING. That said, any Bad Brains song with HR singing is great by me....even if the reggae stuff is a little wonky at times.
Pay To Cum is a great song to start with!
The whole album "Rock for Light."
UM, if they had issues with the Hardcore-ish I against I they certainly won't get into those amazing Albums but all of the other songs on I against I always seem to draw attention with questions like "who is this?" and might be Brads speed, she on the other hand might like their more metal stuff when Madonna's label was involved.
I saw them many times, the more weed the more Reggae I was told but probably more HR needing meds. That said they had a few killer reggae songs, the live daytripper/shes a rainbow, hell even when BB did MTV Springbreak with a live performance of I and I survive I think.
Great Band and great song. Ironically Brad and Lex usually do lyric videos, maybe this one would have been a good candidate. Lex your analogies are always amusing.
See lyrics below.
In the quest for the test to fulfill an achievement
Everybody's only in it for themselves
When the fact of the matter
Is they just don't care
To extend a helping hand to anyone else
So tell me why, did you have to lie
And try to make me all confused about the U.S.A.
When the fact of the matter is you just don't care
To comprehend or understand a single word I say
I don't want to have I go against I
I don't want to have I go against I
Oh let me tell you
The same old story, no factual glory
I against I against I against I
And I say I don't like it,
And I know I don't want it
I against I against I against I
Almighty watching, almighty watching
I against I against I against I
And I say I don't like it,
And I know I don't want it
I against I against I against I
I said who's gonna tell the youth about the drugs
About the drugs, mugs, bugs, and the police thugs
About the rotten stinkin' rackets and the fantasies
Around the nation, around the nations
Oh baby what you gonna do
I tell you the truth is looking straight at you
I got a brass continental with a 300 Z,
Two color t.v.s, now a video too
I got a rest home in Jamaica for my fantasty,
For my family
Around the nations
What you gonna do...
He’s actually right that it’s “overstand,” not “understand a single word I say.”
Back in my early 20s caught the bad brains 3 times ABSOLUTELY changed my life. And inspired me to become a musician my self. Long live the bad brains.
Bad Brains are amazing
I feel so god damned fortunate to have the Bad Brains be part of the soundtrack to my life
Seeing the Bad Brains for the 1st time over 30 plis years ago was the most magical experience ever! From the moment they stepped onstage till the end of the show was such an insanely incredible experience.Their energy and talent was mind blowing.True legends!
the album is one of the greatest American LP's of the 80's. It's not hardcore, however and a true testament to their greatness.
you need to see LIVE bad brains
They were amazing live
100 I suggest live at CBGBs or and live footage where HR does a backflip.
Yup! Live at CBGB'S 1982.
Speaking of a great live recording, check out the Dead Boys live at CBGB's. There is some good, quality footage on UA-cam.
I remember listening to this cassette every day in 7th grade, 1990. Time flies by so quickly!
In 1977, two years before Ian McKaye’s first band Teen Idles, the Bad Brains kick off DC hardcore, (check out the DC Hardcore documentary, Salad Days, streaming on Tubi and available on Amazon Prime.)
Though they, and perhaps specifically the singer, are a bit problematic, they are still one of the essential hardcore bands of the era. Remember, that same year Rod Stewart tops the Billboard 100, and he is in the company of Barbara Streisand, Andy Gibb, Eagles, and Abba.
I love Bad Brains! So unbelievable that you're reacting to BAD BRAINS! Yes!
Bad brains are hardcore punk rock!!!! 💯👍💥
I haven’t listened to BAD BRAINS since the late 80’s. First discovered them on 120 Minutes on MTV. You two never cease to amaze me with how many memories you bring back for me. Thanks !! ✌️
Legends. One of the most important bands in music. Changed my life. It's a shame they're not in the hall of Fame.
Guys, Bad Brains are one of the gods of Punk
One of my favorite voices in punk. He is so versatile and expressive.
I saw them a few times 81-82ish, really blew me away live. Was kind of like a tornado hit the stage and then they throw a reggae song in to let you catch your breath. Amazing one of a kind band.
A SUPER important band, whose influence is present in many, many, many popular and successful acts that followed. These guys defined American Hardcore Punk music in a large way in their era, and were godfather figures to multiple important scenes in American underground punk and hardcore music. I would have suggested starting with a different song, from their first record. Their live performance of "Big Takeover" at CBGB in 1982 is one of the most insane performances I've ever watched, and really better captures their sound (or at least the one sound of their many sounds that they are probably best remembered for).
Goddamn I loved this band back in the day.
These guys are LEGITIMATE HARDCORE / REGGAE THE BEST OF BOTH
The MOST important, influential band in American Hardcore!
Bad brains is essential punk you don't have to know the lyrics ya just feel it and listen
Ottawa Canada
Nov 25th 1982
Klondike Room.....I walked in...thought I'd check them out and the band eventually took the stage
And proceeded to:
Blow...my.... fucking mind!!
I called it the " big takeover"
part of the birth of hardcore bow down to the legends washington HC on the show
You need to check out the Dead Kennedy's, Black Flag and Minor Threat as these are all fromthe same genere of Hardcore Punk as the Bad Brains. Such a great band with a great message. Maybe also check out the Misfits!
They've already checked out the Misfits and the Dead Kennedys.
Pure old school hard core punk rock.
Not only trippy, powerful and undoubtedly unique. I bought and listened to this tApe lots in the late 80s.
Lexie asked...what is this? It is kick ass, in your face ,nasty , balls out Hardcore. Love Bad Brains ! His vocal attack is insane ! Possibly the best Punk/Hardcore song ever !
Bad brains were basically punk rock, reggae, and kind of pioneer screamo in one bad
"His voice is chill, but lit?" - Accurate.
ONE OF THE BEST PUNK BANDS EVER
Bad Brains! The best to Ever do it!
I love this album so much. Dr. Know on the geetar. My friend showed me this circa 1997 specifically because we liked Beastie Boys and Deftones. Thank you two.
Legends. Paved the way for hardcore/hardcore punk
Love how quick you get to the music, love your channel.
House of Suffering is a great track on this album.
Sacred Love is awesome as well! HR recorded the vocals via telephone from jail!
This whole album was such an eye-opener for teenaged me transitioning from metal to punk!
First saw them in '82, only the second punk show I'd ever gone to and they sold me on it. If Metallica's Kill 'Em All and Slayers Show No Mercy hadn't come out the next year I likely would have forgotten all about metal.
Bad Brains is one of the most influential punk bands of all time.
The number one reaction Channel out there I know there's a lot of reaction channels out here but I go to this one first
They were a major part of the 80's thrash and crossover sound (metal and punk) bands! Along with bands like Living Color, Fishbone, 24/7 spies. Corrosion of Conformity cover this.
Greatest hardcore punk band ever. They got that PMA.
Just about every Heavy Metal, Punk, Hardcore, Rock, Alternative, band since the early 80s has been influenced by Bad Brains.
One of the most influential bands in history I'll say it again LEGENDS!!! HR one of the best frontmen in history love this album doesn't get any more badass than having your singer finish his lyrics for the album from a telephone in jail (sacred love ) check out soulcraft from quickness album sure y'all will dig it thanks for getting some bad brains on your channel
Lol your expessions listenin to them.. Im 60 years old n a first generation punk... :) I have been on the recieving end of those expressions ( n a lot more ) for years.
Love you guys Mom too!
All the best-☆
Best band of all time .
Punk hardcore…I absolutely love it!
Bad Brains! Great punk band, some reggae influence too
Bad Brains couldn't get any legit bookings so they went to the low scale venues where punk bands played and they found a new audience. Back in the day there wouldn't be just one band on the ticket; there would be three or four and Bad Brains would sometimes be placed in the middle of hardcore thrash bands. The crowds loved them.
I always get a kick out of watching folks try and categorize the Bad Brains. Particularly when the Rasta riffs hit.
Dr.Know is one of my all time guitar heros
Discovered them when they first came onto the scene. Heavy Metal Reggae. To thank a friend for driving me through London- he liked Reggae - so bought him a cassette. He played it in the car thinking Reggae. He nearly crashed the car !!!! When this came on!!
Was a big fan in the eighties, and still am
One of the best bands ever!
Best hardcore band ever
I haven't thought about Bad Brains in a long time. Thanks for reminding me how much I love them.
I discovered them when Quickness came out in 89. I was a thrash metal kid and that all changed in an instant - I become a lover of Hardcore Punk all my thrash metal albums went out the window and in came punk and Hardcore music. Yes, possibly one of the greatest / most important bands of all time. Had the honour to meet HR in London a few years back - he is such a lovely gentle shy soul. Lovely channel btw.
Lol, no reason to throw out your thrash albums, but hey.
@@bschuler6216 You are right my friend! 🙂🙏
One of the best (hardcore) punk bands. Good choice! Check out soulcraft by bad brains if you have the time
The first BB song i ever heard in 1987. And i was hooked for life.
Your reaction was priceless 🤣
Man, you two have been one step ahead of me this whole time. Didn’t know y’all did Bad Brains already.
Bad Brains 1st release. The best hardcore punk of all time. That sound gave birth to the 1980's underground scene. Especially on the east coast.
Legendary band
Legendary DC punk band. Love them
Their first album is one of the all time great Punk albums.
TV on the Radio: Wolf like Me
Wow.... Bad Brains reaction 👏👏👏👏👏. Bad Brains is kinda like how Suicidal Tendencies started out.... not punk, not metal.... just raw anarchy of music.... Legends 🤘😎🤘
This was early 80s. From DC to new york. They got banned from clubs on DC. ROIR records. I got there early stuff. Big influence on later hardcore and metal bands
I've been listening to bad brains since the 90s. Love it.
Gotta do moe Punk check some Descendents "Pep Talk" "Clean sheets" "Hope"
" 'merican".
This was the best record I ever heard back in 1986 and It still is by music and Lyrics wise. Brilliant Musically constructed starts slowly like unfolding beast before get to incredibly rhythmical and dynamic speed, the band throw few cool bad brains guitar and rhythm riffs before they change to higher gear. This two kids have no idea they are listening the masterpiece of the history ...

Now put Bad Brains, Scorpions, and Foreigner in the R&R HOF finally! Its a crime these men arent inducted!
Awsome that you did Bad Brains on this channel!! BRAVO!!!
Finding punk records was hard AF back in the day!
