Bad Brains Interview On Much Music

[@ashleymonday298]

I don't think anyone would guess how soft spoken HR is.

[@royjameson2097]

They wouldn't think he smashed a mic stand over a Skinheads skull just because he "thought" the guy was racist.... H.R. is a mysterious person

[@jesco_biafra]

His voice is so soft-spoken. I was not expecting that.

HR and the BAD BRAINS did more to unite the youth and the underground than any other hardcore band ever .their PMA was and still is my salvation . respect always !!!

[@hrhudson7547]

Axel the Frank . Thanks so much brother. Your thoughtfulness is right on. keep up the good vibes.

[@powertothepeople3820]

Yes especially calling out the proto fascist punk's. They definitely contributed to a bunch of hardcore punks going around beating up racist at their event's.

[@creamcannon825]

@Chris Overath Yeah. Nothing held the youth together like the vandalism of Biscuit's house with homophobic slurs.

[@bihotzbeltzodolgorri4910]

@Chris Overath and you are a perfect human or what?? Did you think about the context that you are talking about?? Back in the day a lot of people where homophobic and now their arent... So??? Bullshit

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

[@andrewdenney5436]

Seeing HR solo in 1986 forever changed my life. The spiritual presence within the performance was something I had not ever experienced and have been searching for since. That night I choose my profession to aspire to be an artist. I saw HR live two weeks ago. He was healthy, present, vibrant, and blessed the audience with Jah love. Playing all Rasta vibrations from I and I survive, l luv a jah, the youth are getting restless, happy birthday my son, our faith, and youthman sufferer with precision and emotional content. He is no more different than anyone else trying to reconcile the Angel and Devil in all people. Blessings and forever big love for bad brains and HR.

Have you heard of JIMI HENDRIX?

[@rocketsauce420]

Dr. JazzMan1 Jimi Hendrix is great

[@SuperDiddzz]

They was never rock, they was always punk in my opinion.

[@noiserelay4215]

SuperDiddzz It’s called Punk Rock

[@vaughnmild4467]

@@noiserelay4215 Again.. Like lots of other music gets put in these subgenre's. I feel the Brains were at the forefront of Hardcore (a subgenre of Punk Rock). Along with peers such as Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, and quite a few other bands. They've done their Hardcore thing, Reggae thing, and even Metal to an extent. Legendary bad whatever category people wanna lump them into #Rastafari

[@robertrathburn-43512]

The only thing I have to say about Bad Brains is.. " Don't let them don't let them take away your culture, don't let them don't let them take away your future." Thanks for sharing...

[@90sgrunge1]

Bad Brains = BEST BAND in my lifetime. Only in my 40’s but started listening to them when I was 11 years old and sounds better in 2018. HR, Hudson , DJ, Dr Know and the new guy all rock and get me going !

One paragraph on the brains? “The truth, the realest.. the first”

[@evalex71]

I Against I and Quickness are two masterpieces, must get albums

[@vaughnmild4467]

Both of those LPs inspired a lot of kids all over New York to get bands going. I'm a big fan of Glassjaw outta Long Island. They we're very inspired by Quickness. Gary, Daryl, and Earl are all extremely talented self taught musicans. And before HR got sick.. Man a dare you to find me a frontman that had even HALF of the talent and excitement flowed through that dude. When people say rock god, they should look in the dictionary and a picture of HR should be their circa mid 80s/early 90s

[@Ryan-ix6dt]

Mental illness

[@Humble-iq5ue]

Drugs, head banging, crazy antics, always having to be "on" for a crowd. He's lived a very fast lifestyle. It's no wonder he's burnt out and a little off his rocker in his older years. But he's more than paid his dues. It's a blessing he's still alive.
