Chuck D and Public Enemy/Anthrax "Bring the Noise"

rockhall.com/inductees/public-...
On February 11, 2015, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Chuck D did a live interview and Q&A session at the Rock Hall where he shared how Public Enemy and thrash metal band Anthrax decided they "we're going to go for the fucking jugular of doubt" in response to fans and critics who didn't think rap and heavy metal would work together on record or on stage.

As someone who saw anthrax and Public Enemy back in the 80's on this tour (as a fan of them both) it was probably one of the greatest gigs I've been to. Anthrax are my fav metal band but I was screaming "public enemy" at the end of the night where they hyping each band up after bring the noise. . You don't realise it at the time but you are in a moment of history, I'll never forget it. I have so many great memories. PE and Anthrax for life lol 😊

Think about this for a second: you could’ve been born in so many different years and eras, yet somehow you managed to be alive in a time where you got to witness people like this do their thing. This song will forever have a special place in my heart. I blasted it through my tiny-ass stereo in my room at my parents’ house as a 10-year old; now I’m closing in on 30, and I still listen to it every single time I’m in the gym working out. Thank you forever to Chuckie D, Mr Flav, and all the Anthrax boys. You guys did something special, and we love you for that.

[@williambowman8384]

I have said this on many online venues, Bring The Noise is by far the best Rap/Metal song ever....

[@negativezero3107]

great but She Watch Channel Zero is imo by far the best. i remember that blowing my doors off

[@UltimateShadow10]

One of the greatest songs in absolute history.

[@ericburns4773]

This is a great lesson , on how we learn together , grow together and get better as one!!!!

[@mikeyb8040]

As a metalhead this interview is pure gold. Much respect to Mr D and Mr Flav for even attampting to be with us white boys. RESPECT !!

[@martinhansen5021]

Honestly. There hasn't been such a titanic team up ever again. Thank you for playing.

This is what America is about: COMPETITION. When you compete with honor, both sides become better. Without competition, life becomes stagnant. Great show, gents!!!

[@HEATMY]

Well there is "body count" yo

[@davidaix5771]

Anthrax was friends with everyone skin color was never a thing it was all about the music they were friends with everyone

[@mikeholton3914]

attempting , hell they were there. give them credit for being stand up and brining the noise WITH Anthrax. throwing the stereotypes out the window and tearing shit up. i dont agree with a fair amount of what Chuck, d's ideals are but I'll go to war alongside of him because he would go to war along side of me. principles even if not agreed on are principles. you got em or you dont. people with principles will sit down with each other and hash it out because they have principles.

[@MaD_fX]

Too fucking right, there hasn't been anything like that since!!! Best collab ever, peace to PE and Anthrax

[@tommygilliam8890]

zly wish they would make a come back,

[@3PumpChumper]

Wait wait wait, Primus opened for a Public Enemy/Anthrax headliner??!? I was born to late in music history.

[@jamesdio891]

I love Chuck D like family.

[@arclight2012]

To me, Public Enemy is the greatest hip hop group of all time. The meeting of the minds with Anthrax was incredible and sooo ahead of its time. Mad respect to Chuck D!

[@McGillicuddy849]

Did he say Primus was opening, Primus, Anthrax, and Public Enemy sounds like the best lineup ever.

[@christophernoyer5381]

Yes! That was an amazing tour!!

[@edog6770]

Thanks for being the pioneers and going for the jugular! Personally, i think it got best for the Judgement Night soundtrack. I still jam to Bring tha Noize to this day!

[@DavidWayneJones]

Great and important moment. Thank you, Chuck D. You’re the best!

[@nodrip1]

"Go for the jugular of doubt"

[@hanslain9729]

This line felt almost as hard as that song. I love it.

[@hanslain9729]

This was at the end of Public Enemy's Apocalypse 91, the enemy strikes black album. The first time I was listening to the CD was in my old Volkswagen bug. I had two 10-in kickers in the back. Anthrax and Public Enemy gave those things a serious workout. I definitely had a holy shit moment. Such an energizing song.

[@doodoobonejones]

That PE/Anthrax collab was too damn good. Makes me wish Black Dahlia Murder would hook up with Kendrick or Joey Bada$$. Or idk. Maybe we're all just chasing the unattainable high that PE and Anthrax brought.

[@KenRubenstein]

serious props to Chuck....

[@Jesusmetalhead]

Next rap/metal collab that should happen: NWA (reunited), Ice T, and Slayer

[@nopreguntes3981]

bvb and vainilla ice

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

bon jovi and gerrardo

[@mikehamilton646]

Jesusmetalhead kinda hard without eazy but if he was still alive it would be awesome

[@Bigtime1998]

LOL!!!!

[@thrashingjustin]

Def leppard, vanilla ice, and marky mark

[@MeditateGuide9]

Yessssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelbull4639]

those we re the days when rap and rock we re two completely different genres of music limp bizkit method man pharcyde sublime korn ice cube crossover callbos we re hot

[@negativezero3107]

"doesn't have enough duct tape" fucking so good

[@arielcordero]

And it was fucking AMAZING!

[@Blueracer]

Good video.

[@richardallen1253]

This is so cool!

[@michaelglucksman147]

In my opinion, greatest of all time

[@gonzo6596]

Korn & Ice Cube/ Wicked is pretty damn good too

[@mikeyb8040]

Does nobody remember Run DMC and Aerosmith? That was 10 years before Bring the Noise. But BTN was the shit for sure with hardcores

[@chrisgrant7657]

More like 4 years (86 vs 90), but sure.

[@marcdesilva1644]

But that was more rock rap than metal rap

[@DaryoGoinden]

Walk this way

[@G.L.O.S.S.]

Walk This Way was not metal

[@negativezero3107]

and i am CONVINCED this is how she watch channel zero happened, and that shit was HARD!!!!

[@InnerCityOrganicz]

Man it sucks that episode of Yo MTV Raps & Headbanger's Bsll was never released (?) That's my assumption based on rhe fact there's not even a clip of it on yt 😢

[@mikeholton3914]

these guys were KILLER! , by the way if you dont know what that thing is on Chuck D's hat you should be very quiet and learn as much as you can because that thing is the key to the universe.

[@wintersoldier4335]

First of all I did not agree with Louis farrakhan's philosophy whatsoever but some of the truth is in some of that and Chuck Berry flavor Flav the public enemy as a whole was a great rap group anthrax is also one of my favorites and that was a great time for music true words were never spoken the late 80s and 90s brought some of the best music to this day

[@123612100]

When's anthrax getting in?

[@somepig2k]

Thre really has NOT been anything like that sense!

[@grimesjon1]

No there has not!

[@joepontiac5533]

You got that right? You’re two bands killed it .. fortunately, before you and Antrax were doing that the beastie boys opened the door for you to do the rap and metal mix before eve n Aerosmith and run and Run DMC with Aerosmith they should’ve been the first Hip-hop or rap band indoctrinated into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame .. did change the world. But I think it’s really cool indoctrinated, Hall of Fame. They basically outlived every hip-hop or rap band . Until they lost the band member not too bad for some white boys from New Jersey.

[@slappymcbutterballs7326]

hip hop and metal are basically the same thing.

[@RealCrazyDiamond]

I'm going to take a guess and say you're under 30.

[@GRAFFDEMON]

Depends on the sub-genre of metal. I always thought hiphop and punk had alot more in common.

[@GangGreen80]

Hahahaha good one

[@thrawn3332]

Metal was born from the shitty industrial city life, with roots in the blues, was counter culture, and was designed to scare people... I'm well over thirty and respect both.

[@ezragreymusic]

wtf is this guys hair

[@xy5844]

he bald

[@22trem]

Metal destroyed rap on stage. Pretty much says it all.

[@michaelking4578]

Disappointed to hear this man speak with so many f bombs. It doesn't make him more appealing. Let your talent speak for itself and don't do interviews.

[@ballinglikechoji6558]

I can see why you would say that, but I think it's just him showing who he is, pure honesty, no filter. I respect that.

[@michaelking4578]

Balling Like Choji I believe you are correct.

[@uriah9559]

people swear! thats how people talk...let it go

[@mouadgranderson9618]

Michael King at least he doesn't fake his personality

[@keisi1574]

@@ballinglikechoji6558 Studies show that people who cuss, vs those who don't, are generally *more trusted* by others . I have no problem trusting Chuck D.🙂

[@mattlukethompson]

This is fucking awesome
