Bad Brains - Big Take Over

[DEARHICCuPS]

Shoot, This one goes way back. My memory of it is that I got this on cassette back in the middish 80's and it seems like I always had it playing. Every track. Probably have it stowed away somewhere along with so many nyhc demos. Thanks for putting this up.

[MrIhaveacat]

duh duh duh dah dahhhhh dah!! epic intro

[emopirateLucien]

FRAKING LOVE THIS!

[lordmercy]

it' said the first afro H/C band on earth....that's true.....even not first....the best one!!!

[wargear257]

When Beastie Boys were good...

[Jahsalut]

@wargear257 This is Bad Brain yo! Beastie Boys sample it. But Beastie Boys began there carrier doing one of my favorite hardcore .... with Bad Brains and Minor Treath.

[AveRajala]

@Jahsalut Nah, I think he's just saying that because they're on the cassette too

[raanelom]

@Jahsalut Funny detail, Beastie Boys called themselves so their initials were BB, just like Bad Brains.

[vadermask]

@raanelom This is true. i think that dude in American Hardcore (movie) said it, didn't he? Or maybe it was in the book. I know I've heard it many times also. Just thinkin about how I bought this tape back in 1986 or so. And I got to prove to everyone that the BEASTIE BOYS used to be a hardcorepunk band! B-E-A-S-T-I-E go!!!

[meccaollielord]

@vadermask Heart attack!!!

[meccaollielord]

@Jahsalut Were you drunk when you posted this?

[Rijahaaa]

@wargear257 Beastie boys are still "good". there just a different style of music, if you cant respect that you don't respect music

[DrVenganzaDulce]

so cool to see the beastie boys on that pamphlet

[w0mbhanger]

dilberthernadexz must be on oopitsat day

[idonthaveacoolcar]

@PivotMasterES Sir you are a faggot

[PivotMasterES]

@idonthaveacoolcar nah du

[cheapsex94]

@PivotMasterES sir you need to open your mind please because you don't like it does not mean its "gay" which by the way stupid word and completely out of context start listening to the message of the music aswell instead of just the sound

[PivotMasterES]

@cheapsex94 well I can't be a fagot for expressing my opinion either but alright I just think hella fast hardcore with lice machin gun drums and incoherent screaming music is not my favorite there ya go.

[cheapsex94]

@PivotMasterES well then buddy please do not call something "gay" just because you don't agree keep you're comments to you're self there not appreciated and i do not mean to offend you simply trying to help if you understand me

[HammingFlomo]

[jdharder68]

fucking bad brains kicks my ass every time

[BlacklistersThe]

@edfeltch fuckin awesome dude :D

[assasinator1980]

This song is the definition of high adrenaline hardcore punk.

[edfeltch]

I used to hang out where this was recorded ,in the basement of Ratcage Records along with Beastie Boys Pollywog 7"Beasties took the BB from Bad Brains when taking a name.The first time Bad Brains played Boston during the soundcheck it was like Godzilla had entered the building and all the other bands wanted to go home.

[bruisedshores]

this is a mix of HERB.LOVE. AND PASSION ROLLED INTO (a fatty blunt) ONE.

[weber247]

I know they listened to all sorts of music especially rock and reggae, metal too...

[shanecombs1993]

John frusciante raped this

[arellanoj90]

@shanecombs1993 i strongly agree

[frufrukurtjim]

@shanecombs1993 in a good or a bad way? i personally loved the JF cover

[shanecombs1993]

@frufrukurtjim in a great way, everything frusciante does is magic man

[rattebek]

2 ppl have 0 testicles

[TheLazyMox]

First Bad Brains song I ever heard, still my favorite.

[AlXX2010]

@TheLazyMox this my first song of theirs that i listened too right now, i love it.

[lahc666]

Thanks for the dislikes! Make's it look like a lit blunt.

[Falseanxiety]

dammit, i wished i knew more bands like this when i was younger.

[IdiotSage42]

feedback intro, pulsing drumbeats, and a thick distorted guitars. Punk does not get much better than this.

[Nikrou]

Noobs, they suck.

[canibaldance]

@Nikrou

Bad brains noobs?

what do you listen to? green day? HAHAHAHAHAHA

[enjoithrash93x]

@Nikrou go kill yourself

[LunaSims]

I fell asleep listening to this and woke up with my fingers like this: lml

Fuck yeah. Even in my sleep im awesome!

[jaysizzle43]

@LunaSims Fuckin' rad!

[LunaSims]

@jaysizzle43 Fuck yeah! xD

[108duck]

[espacial903]

Judge: Tell me Ms. Replay? where did Mr. Arrow click you?

Replay Button: Here! (gestures entire body) *cries*

Judge: And how many times did you say he clicked you?

Replay Button: OVER 9,000 times your honor!

judge: And what do you have to say Mr. Arrow

Arrow: Dude, I told you already I only clicked on her maybe 10 times.

judge: Mr. Arrow you're going to internet prison for an entire year.

Arrow: fuck, how am I supposed to do my job now?

Me: Where the heII is arrow?

[philipperholland]

haha they fooled the punks. this is metal.

[weber247]

@philipperholland Its actually a blend of Punk and Hardcore, NOT METAL...

[TheDeathGit]

@weber247 I always thought Bad Brains must've listened to metal actually. Some of there songs have some pretty metal-esque riffs

[JJJCFLS4]

lets get sexual with spoons



[djeeuutoane]

try listening to john frusciante's cover of this.

it's brilliant!

[raanelom]

People somethings forget music has no colour, fuck it if they're black or whatever!

[GTpanik]

You know, people would complain because this is a black punk group. Why the stereotype? I would prefer listening to this than listen to Soulja Boy and Lil Wayne.

[louiscfc93]

The tension in the build up then the explosion of energy.Cant beat it

[notoriouslizw]

The problem with this song is it's too fuckn short! Such intensity and then it's over -bam! But how could something so great not be short lived?

[JCR101393]

@notoriouslizw

hahaa check out FVK

the best part about itis itleaves you wanting more and it never gets old

[DilbertHernandez]

@notoriouslizw have you ever listened to hardcore? some people would complain this is over two minutes!

[notoriouslizw]

@DilbertHernandez I've seen BadBrains, AOD, Kraut, I think Heart Attack... opened for the FUs in '82 ... ah the olden daze. Flipper had/has long songs... are they hard or soft? Neg App were the men as were the early Misfits... short songs... Was GG hardcore? He was pretty hardcore, not always short songs. Youth Corps (CT) probably had the shortest songs I ever witnessed, that was prolly '82. I wonder if any of that is out there?

[notoriouslizw]

@DilbertHernandez That's Youth Korps from New London Ct., check them out, they have a myspace with music to listen to. I really liked them. It's great that their music is to be found! Crime is 22 seconds, Need a Fix is 18 seconds. I remember them playing, quick loud memorable set. I think my friend still has the tape. If they have vinyl, well worth it. It was groundbreaking at the time.Altho obvious BF "Damaged" influence w "Malaise". They were straight edging if I remember correctly.Checkit!

[AdamSlezak3]

@DilbertHernandez and i dont give a shit about those people

[xxXXDdevilXXxx]

@DilbertHernandez true, hardcore isn't to chill and listen to while smoking a blunt, its to go fucking nuts.

[bloodandbeer]

this shit totally fucked my brains! love it!

[noisydope]

one of the best punk sounds EVA

[Krunge333]

love this easily my favourite punk band

[GrimmjowO6]

Nice fucking bad brains
