Bad Brains 'Soul Craft' | Rock Musician Reacts

[@anthonyv6962]

Bad Brains are straight legends and accomplished musicians.

[@OmegaMacheteStorm]

I was into the DC punk scene as a teen in the 80s. BB was my favorite band then and still are today.

[@raineramelung7380]

Greeding from north Germany.. 1985,, we,, (a bunch of Punks). Made a camping Trip to Denmark,, (Only 100 mls away).. We took about 400 cans of beer with(cause it, s very cheap here) but only one music tape-the first,, Bad Brains".. So it burned into my head😄😄.. But still love this Band today. (hope you could understand, my English)..? Try Punk from here: ,, Slime-mea culpa"(about sexual abuse to children by church members) *fahr zur Hölle! Means :go to hell! Or. :"Jennifer Rostock - Kaleidoskop" enjoy another language ✌️🎸🍺

[@Skibble838]

They were never nu metal, they did in influence nu metal but they are waaaaaay older than nu metal

[@marlin6668]

These guys we’re playing when you were eating Cheerios off of your high chair.

[@knutsenneundorf116]

Beastie Boys called the Bad Brains the best band in the world. The development the band made is spectecular. From being one of the earliest really fast Hardcore punk bands, also writing and playing excellent reggae songs, taking the groove into metal with the I Against I album already in 1987 with a top notch production by Ron St. Germain, they were always leading the way. Love them. Also after all the vinyl, bad Brains was the first CD, that I ever bought, back in 1993.

[@hinterwelter]

Bad Brains changed the map.

[@drfunkology8164]

considered the most talented and down from the early 80's post thrash punk era.. considered greatest punk band ever and weirdly the greatest american reggae band ever arguably.

[@hemiacplurge3572]

You are totally making "First Bad Brains Face".

[@hemiacplurge3572]

Wait until you hear "Re-Ignition", you'll lose your mind.

[@jamescotner2459]

These guys kick ass! Just check out more

[@jeff2333]

My favorite Brains song

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

they're not Jamaican, they are black dudes from D.C. They are indeed rastas, but that developed from their love of reggae, which they got into after fusion and punk.

[@iaindcosta]

HR's mum Jamaican, he was born in UK

[@onlyjustcommentAry]

Black dots had a huge influence on Dave Grohl, the band began to be inspired by Bob Marley and the philosophy of the Rastafarian faith, their music truly is beautiful

[@sukhbir6246]

The song that got me into Hardcore Punk way back in 1989 - my favourite band of all time. Btw, they are not Jamaican, they are American and from DC.

[@darbymack213]

Hudson brothers born in UK to Jamaican parents

[@sukhbir6246]

Agree, but brought up in America. Hr and Earl lived in Liverpool UK for a few years and I think spent a short time in Jamaica at most - but could be wrong. @@darbymack213

[@iaindcosta]

HR's Dad American, Mum Jamaican, born in England

[@darbymack213]

Check out their older records....you may dig the funk of I Against I record.

[@gavinore1507]

I never loved their sound but they’re undeniably one of the most influential bands of all time… especially for the genres I enjoy. I wish I could’ve seen them live

[@jaycee3434]

System of a Down cites Bad Brains as a big influence. You're welcome.

[@lurkmerchant]

I believe BB is not just father of hardcore punk but father of nu-metal and alternative rock / metal too.

[@balkanesequalk]

Compression on bad brains and Prong works 💪

[@johnbello6946]

Need to react to “ I against I “ and “Rise” by bad Brains

[@KavaKavana]

Bad brains thrash album. This album welcomed the world of music to the 90s. Live they are pure power with excellent reggae to chill to and let the crowd take a breather from the mosh pit

[@StuartAnderson-eq7qq]

This song is only one song....they have a lot of stuff with different sounds...keep checking it out

[@kevinpotts1713]

The reason you hear SOAD and RATM is because Bad Brains influenced them and most metal, punk and alternative bands of the 80s, 90’s and 00’s. Several major artists will proudly proclaim they were influenced by the Bad Brains

[@lurkmerchant]

and SiM, Japanese band thought probably through bands influenced by the Brains.

[@MuchoMas640]

Plz check out their early stuff…

[@knutsenneundorf116]

in regard to the sound quality. This is all analogue. The vinyl album is mastered for stereo sets and the official video was remastered/compressed for the video to sound good when being played over the simple speakers of analogue TV sets. Also the actual video tape has a smaller dynamic range than the vinyl album. I would guess that someone digitalized the bad sound from an old video tape to load it up on youtube. There you have it. I actually like the video better, because the sound is fatter, but this is only me.

[@EvanSchatz]

Yep that's the ending. Dr Know is one of my favorite guitarists 😂 , check out the next track, Voyage Into Infinity

[@marlin6668]

Also… this is as far from NU-METAL as one can get.

[@jefrianto9239]

The legend...

[@brandonchristopher1083]

Listen to their reggae. They are larger than life. the I against I album is legendary

[@bodybydan5511]

Listen to the "I Against I" album all the way through, and you WILL be a fan. Promise.

[@Ritff666l-e9e]

Omg The Uniform People

[@michaelburkhart4550]

I got that PMA

[@lurkmerchant]

Thanks wave for answering my request. You are right about the compression. This band never got to mainstream (was almost there), but musicians, bands loved this relatively unknown band. Drummer from Nirvana Dave Grohl was influenced by Earl Hudson from Rock for Light album era and as you picked, rage against the machine is amongst few dozens of major bands cite them as their artistic influence. Rise album (1993) is probably their most balanced album that covers 90% of their diverse sound, and the sound is more polished and approachable. You'll see how other bands got inspiration from this band very clearly. I think the Brains are the most obscure, yet most influencial, important band in music history in my personal opinion. If you are interested, check out this album in your spare time. Have a lovely weekend and thanks again for reacting to one of my most favourite bands.❤

[@knutsenneundorf116]

Absolutely!

[@dharmachile999]

If only the Brains were on Octave Records.

[@underdogchamp9094]

Compression was the sound of the punk rock era… and also the sound quality of cassettes wasn’t anywhere near where digitali is now.

[@aronp7097]

Try the I against I album. 🔥

[@n2nother]

They were never nu metal. Or pretty much metal of any kind. Lol.

[@bobbyschannel349]

They're not Jamaican americans, they're just ordinary black americans, they do do reggae they are Rastafarians though.

[@lurkmerchant]

I've read somewhere that Earl Hudson and H. R. were born to Jamaican parents but yes. they are black Americans.

[@iaindcosta]

HR's Dad is American but Jamaican mum and born inna Hengland!

[@r0ckstar666]

they are not jamaicans but they did become rastafarians

[@modimmusic9571]

The Hudson brother are Jamaicans, born in the UK, moved to DC.

[@garse70]

DC

[@descantinginsalubrious]

Definitely NOT Nu-metal..never were. Straight all-time champions. SOOOOOO important in the development of a variety of genres...punk, hardcore, metal etc. Their influence can not be overstated. They were DC area punks, and jazz lovers, who discovered Rastafarianism, which heavily influenced HR's vocals...I mean, he's NOT Jamaican, but certainly adopted some of the vocal affectations. Anyway, the have a massive massive impact on music after them.

[@lurkmerchant]

He's born to Jamaican parents didn't he?
