Music is great, I just wished they didn't get into that fight with the Big Boys and MDC because of those bands having gay lead singer.

[jimbugismyname]

I wouldn't call anyone in the Bad Brains gay, homeboy.

[TaylorOnTheMic]

u completely misread what he said by chance are u retarted

[jimbugismyname]

I replied to a different comment, I agree with punk.

[TaylorOnTheMic]

i looked them up on wikipedia and it says the dont do punk any more can some 1 tell me why?

[Punkforbrains]

If my memory stands correct, in the mid 90's the band decided to take their sound in to a purely reggea and dub genrea.

[TaylorOnTheMic]

that sucks ass why did they do that, wtf is dub

[Punkforbrains]

Well all the guys in the band practice Rastafarianism, some Jamacian religion I know nothing about, so their music has always been deeply involed with Jamaca and religion....I think.

In all their albums they've had reggea tracks. Like "I and I survive" "Peace be unto thee" "I love I jah", so it was really just a matter of time before H.R. (Lead singer) got the band to turn completely reggea.

And I have no idea what dub is hahaha sorry

[TaylorOnTheMic]

yeah i had read about them being Rastafarians but it sucks 2 see a great punk band give it up

[Ievolovel]

@Punkforbrains Rasta is part of no ism. Ism's separate and discriminate. Rasta is a way of life. So it is I-rey. Loveful heights.

[TaylorOnTheMic]
