One reason that it's difficult to see the connection between 80s hardcore and today's metal is that in the 80s there was for a brief time a genre called "crossover"--crossover from hardcore to metal. Bands such as Suicidal Tendencies and Stormtroopers of Death (which became Anthrax) were in this genre. These bands kind of had one foot in the hardcore scene and one foot in the metal scene. I think it's easier for a Metalhead to trace his roots back to Anthrax than to Dead Kennedys.

I used to frequent CB's in the early 90's, about ten years after this was filmed. Even then, remember, the Bowery (where CBGB's was located) was not gentrified, and there wasn't anything like this on TV or MTV. We were just starting to see a big explosion of punk-lite bands on the charts, and then of course Nirvana broke everything with its popularity. Bad Brains and the type of chaos you see here were a unique experience. That stage is TINY, and the space was dark and scary.

I wonder if kids in NYC can have the same experience I had - no cel phone, no internet, just the Village Voice club listings telling you who is playing at CB's, and news from a punk rock show on a college radio station. I think my generation is the last "analog generation", where we had to work just a little harder to find out about "underground" music like Bad Brains. Meaning: I had to actually GO to a punk record shop to get their cassette tape, or had to actually GO to a show to discover it.
