uum.........awesome.

my favourite Bad Brains moment is on Dillinger Four's live album. Hallelujah!

never dug em. But they do have a song about how homosexuals are responsible for AIDS...

Just don't buy a H.R. solo album!

"never dug em. But they do have a song about how homosexuals are responsible for AIDS..."

which song is that?

WE GOT THAT ATTITUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuckin one of my favourite fuckin bands ever

fuck i woulda killed to see em in 84 after i against i

or even after the first record

I saw them in 1995, they weren't bad then.

which song is that?

I can't remember the name. Gimmie a sec & i'll find out.

i saw them on the quickness tour - they were pretty average at that stage

heard some stories about them playing in the uk around 83 or 84 - hr doing backflips whilst stood between two coppers who were trying to close the show done

the live record i have is pretty tops

FVK Live in 85

bad brains are fucken awesome! totally awesome musicians.
i saw at ev's when they toured with the meanies even though they didnt have HR singing they were still really good

even on a shit day they would still totally destroy all those other shit head hardcore bands
(except black flag)

on that american hardcore doco

all the dudes still say bad brains were THE best

and heaven help u if you're opening for them

the thing was they were all actually really good musicians
prior to being in bad brains they were all in jazz and funk bands.

"Pay To Cum" is still one of my favourite songs. I'm not usually that impressed by musicianship, but they play this song with such precision. It's melodic, hard as a Motorhead tune but yet groovy like the JB's and clocks in at 1 min 41 sec. It's just a perfect pop song. Fuck, I think I'm going to be as bold to say that it's my favourite song ever!...for the time being.

"never dug em. But they do have a song about how homosexuals are responsible for AIDS..."

That song was about how Minor Threat was responsible for AIDS

That song was about how Minor Threat was responsible for AIDS

same diff. BOOM!

I think FVK is my favourite BB song.

attitude or house of suffering for me

good songs are timeless. doesn't matter when or where they come from. i pay to hear a good song, not to support a marginalised scene. if a new malaysian band covered ''the big takeover'' poorly would that be better music?

good songs are timeless but watching old farts play their old tunes with half the enthusiasm is like being in their own cover band. like i said - i hope i'm wrong cos i love their early stuff. but i wouldn't spend more than $15 to find out and even then i don't think i'd bother. it's over! it's done! just listen and enjoy the records and live in the now!

^ well said

mo - what i was getting at was that BB have been making music for 25 years now and all anyone is talking about is the first couple of records like that is what they will play and it will be as exciting to see it now as it was in 1982. going on recent you tube footage it's going to be a big disappointment.

Hmm...yeah sure doesn't have the energy of '82 but it still sounds pretty good I reckon.

man i totally know that HR has massive mental problems now and will NOT be doing crazy backflips, they won't be as fast for sure

but like i said on another site - if i can hear sailin on, attitude, house of suffering, i against i and a few other classics i will be fkn stoked - even if they aren't as good as my ''live @cbgbs'' record

but i am aware that they aint going to be as good as i want them to be

dvd not record for live @ cbgbs

I feel the same way Mo. I just want to see them. There have been very few ''reunion'' type gigs that have dissapointed me. Still love them for the same reasons I did in the first place. I think the trouble is there are very few ''new'' bands I feel the same way about and that I'm excited about seeing.

can i live mainly in the now but also a bit in the then as well? there's about three of these kinds of gigs a year that i'd actually want to go and see - grong grong and bad brains could be it for the year, who knows. i'd rather see and know. if there's the slightest chance an old band could be as good as grong grong are these days, i'm there. i've listened to their one 12'' dozens of times since they played and seeing them fall apart in five songs flat has enriched the listening experience heaps, not to mention giving a mate and i a new and endless run of in-jokes.

you're right - there's no chance bad brains will be as good as they were because at one time they were arguably the most dynamite live band of their day. i wanna see how close they can get to that.

blah blah blah

check out that you tube footage of i against i from last year, rigid....

HR is still as acrobatic as ever but they now play as a two piece

Regretfully Bad Brains are forced to cancel their June Australian dates due to personal health issues that don’t allow the stresses of the travel involved at this time. They hope to re-book the tour before the end of the year or early 2011.

BOOOO!!!!!!!

fucking knew this would happen

too good to be true

be thankful - no one wasted their money!

fuck that

Don't know how much I would want to see them live anyway. Can't be better than putting on a pair of headphone and blasting the Youth are getting restless version of BIG TAKEOVER at ear aching volume.

Oh well. I was looking forward to seeing them.

Bad Brains should visit the White House, now that a brother is in charge.

I was keen. Bummer.
