Bad Brains Henry Rollins

Henry Rollins talks about his first encounter with Bad Brains.

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

Pinning Henry Rollins to the floor and singing in his face. That's the most punk thing I've ever heard.

[@jefftaylor529]

..and then he me Glen Danzig. Love at first sight ❤

[@sillygooserecords5466]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...woah this is punk in a few words

[@vincentlimtiaco4736]

Hernry rollins keeping it 100%.

[@georgwilliams444]

100% decaff

[@thegigantico]

Henry Rollins is one of the rare moments where the biggest star is also the biggest fan of the whole genre. great stuff

[@carletonrutherford1799]

Bad Brains doesn't get NEAR the amount of respect they deserve. I'm not kidding when I say they should be household names in the rock and roll community.

[@jeff7764]

lol

[@PunkBoOcH]

Welp.... they're not r n r

[@carletonrutherford1799]

@@PunkBoOcH Save your semantic bs. They influenced rock and rollers all over the world. Hardcore is just hard rock and roll.

[@TheCiaMKultra]

He was chosen by HR since he noticed Rollins big " throat " ! The true BB fans will catch my drift . Bad Brains will never die, just multiply !

[@xtenthfloorx]

HR influencing HR. GOD MODE.

I agree with each comment thus far. They didn’t just change my life, they saved my life with the PMA, and never feeling completely alone on this Earth ever again, knowing that there were others out there as conscious as I was, who saw the real reality of realness, and possessed the LIFELONG urge to never forget the downtrodden, the down and out, or the ones who are just down, because maybe they are actually down with “it”. Per HR, “I’ve got the Supertouch, chances are I’ve got too much”. Paul and Earl Hudson are locked in as brothers should be, with Darryl and Dr. Know bringing the whole wall of expression down on top of you, while simultaneously pulling the pile of bricks off of you, and then rebuilding it better than before, because now you are a part of that wall, and it’s stronger for you, but can be toppled by your own brainpower with a simple shitfit. Yeah I said it, a simple shitfit. We are you, and I and I are ours, and they aren’t us, and us versus they does not exist, for there is no competition for truth, only light, and do you compete for light? No, it’s free of charge, charge not outside you, the charge is free for all to embrace. The first time I saw the bad brains, I knew I was in for a living dream. And more. I saw them five times. And five times my life was better after seeing the bad brains. I’m still alive. Because there does and at the very least at one time did exist, the bad brains. Don’t miss this Soul Craft. Life is all or nothing don’t forget to sing and praise!

[@matthewosterman9030]

Lucky wish I saw them. Was born right when HR started his solo stuff

[@jamesprice2787]

I'm a year late replying to this comment but you're absolutely spot on. Ther is definitely some higher spiritual flow i feel when listening to them. I think its all flow.

[@rrbh]

You sound like a Scientologist or some other kind of glossy eyed, tambourine bashing religious crank. The real reality of realness? Don't forget to sing and praise? Praise what? The Bad Brains are magnificent musicians, unique, creative and masters of their craft. Their shows were highly entertaining - because, at the end of the day, live music is entertainment and they are performers. By the way - HR didn't stand for Human Rights back in the day - it was the initials of Huntin' Rod - if you are curious to know the origins of that nickname , just ask anyone from the early DC scene .

[@chucku00]

Henry Rollins is the ultimate storyteller about his own life experiences.

[@theyapsta]

YES!!!!! Bad Brains forever!❤

[@noneofyourbusiness1114]

Wild the bad brains not only kicked off HXC punk but inspired two of the other pillars of hardcore.... Henry Rollins and Minor threat.

[@Murderbot2000]

They were my soundtrack for a big chunk of my life.

[@TheCiaMKultra]

Mine as well ! Truly one of the most inspiring bands to ever form on the face of the Earth

[@ThePunksta333]

The Bad Brains changed my life, all good changes.

[@jeff7764]

How so?

[@monicasmith7050]

Henry Rollins has always been the truth…

[@jt1929]

I’m sure the clip goes on to say that Henry befriended the Bad Brains and HR telling Henry that he was destined to be a punk singer as well. Cool shit. Banned in DC, loved all over the world.

[@andrewhigdon8346]

Play the song “Soul Craft”, note the skat from HR at the very beginning which is the riff, turn the volume to 11, and if it doesn’t alter your day, go see a doctor, cause you’re probably dead.

[@monicasmith7050]

Soul Craft was my introduction to Bad Brains, circa 1984 on UNC Chapel Hill College radio…changed my life forever.

[@TheCiaMKultra]

True dat!

[@jt1929]

The scat is either Dr Know or Daryl. That album was recorded without Earl or HR, HR later did his vocals to the finished music.

[@trendkillwill9806]

"Kinda,the start of my life"

[@AswangRealStories]

🤣 that part made my day 🤣

[@shrunkenpresence1367]

0:28 insect surfers wow, great band as well

[@kageakuma3009]

I am so happy I was introduced to the Bad Brains as a teenager.

[@bad_brains_horror3613]

@badbrainsofficial - one of my all time favorite bands! Please get back together! Never got to see you live! PMA!

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

Henry's H.R. impression at 0:42, rorfl!

[@SurgeCess]

Ahhh! Whoa!

[@steveg8102]

As I understand they were friends and HR pushed Rollins to start a band. But yeah DC bands worshipped bad brains and they are still kings of punk.

[@laslow1988]

Jesus Christ that last line

[@shubhankar6861]

which movie is this?

[@ViolenceJunkiesSPR]

Anybody know the song name at 0:32 ?

[@gnarlytruepaw9604]

Bad Brains - At The Atlantis You're welcome, dude.

[@herbie0408]

Henry does a Jim Carrey 0:44

[@gregorygraham4117]

he like so many others caught a spark from the double b crew

[@Herzbabak]

Whats that bad brains song playing tho?😅

[@kennigel377]

Yoooooooi

[@murderc27]

There's nothing like a punk show. Or any kind of high-energy, intimate show. It's basically sex.

[@TheCiaMKultra]

But last longer ....lol

[@adm.60]

Hell yea, adams Morgan dc

[@zouteranja4041]

HR blowing bubbles on Henry?
