Corpse Desecrator some day you will get old, dumbass. And your lame statement will kick you in the balls. And it comes a lot sooner than you think, son.

Pseudo Smith on the contrary there are a lot of bands and frontmen like HR such as Wattie of The Exploited, Tony Martin of The Varukers, Anthony of Battalion Of Saints, John Joseph of Cro Mags, Kurt Brecht from DRI, Bill Milano of MOD and many more I can go on forever with the list of bands and frontmen as old as this still with a good amount of the energy they had in their prime yrs still making strong records I will admit maybe not as awesome as prime yrs so I scoff back at your ignorant statement no such thing as "getting old" I will still be a music fond person and musician in my 50s its all about devotion and passion to the music not some BS phase. So piss off. Respect my opinion and I'll respect yours.

@Corpse - HR cant help suffering from mental illness! Don't expect him to keep performing like he did just to keep people like you happy. You're ignorant to mental illness and the fact that not all people age in the same way!

Ok then you got me there I thought it had something to do with Rastafarian way of life he went on to later I wasn't aware that he had an illness and some people are unlucky then and I am aware people age different I just didn't known that was the case with him but does this argument really matter anyways now? I still like this vid and early Bad Brains so who cares no need to be a PC police.

Not being 'PC Police' just thought you should be aware. No worries all's good. There's an HR documentary coming out soon called 'Finding Joseph I' You should check it :)

wasn't that Claudette sitting next to her (white jacket) ... totally bad-arse chick!

+Morganna Lefay, I used to see Claudette at shows. Remember The Ontario, D.C. Space. The Bayou? Although, those are D.C. clubs. But we used to make the trip up to NYC to see shows frequently. This is a CBGBs I think. Leon? Very tall, thin black dude? Knew him also! Again, also here in D.C. Don't recall Bubby though. Too bad I can't find any retrospective photos. They must exist somewhere.
