Bad Brains - Rise Up - Reading 1993

[headfake]

Living Colour / Bad Brains 1993 best tour ever!!!

[LightFromADeadStar]

without HR THIS IS SHITTTTTTTTTTTT

[clifton250]

the bad brains are never shit, even on a bad day.

[androide6025]

nice riffs here. wish the quality was better.

[kjaks]

HR didn't even participate in the text writing or recording of this album. Therefore I think Israel is the one to perform this song. Anyway, HR doesn't have the energy he had in the 80s anymore. He wouldn't have lived up to the expectations.

[myowmyow]

I saw this and they were shit

[MrChadcocilo]

It's not Bad Brains without HR.

[suicidalfailuretx]

Yeah yeah it's not the original lineup but this guy is a good singer in his own right and Mackie is 100% unfuckwithable NYHC OG!! They sound so fucking good here!! It's 2 different bands, but have you seen them lately? No disrespect but they don't sound nearly this good.

[karrazaki89]

The thing about HR is that he has the most electryfing stage presence ever, you can´t replicate that, but that doesn´t change the fact that Mackie is a great singer.

[TheRedtaz]

@karrazaki89 mackie is the drummer, he was also the original drummer for the cromags in the early 80's.

[08Revelator]

I fucking loved this album. Call me out of touch with "true bad brains music" but this album rocked so much for me.

[Laurent75017]

I remember seing that line-up of the bad brains in Bourges, in 1994. Nobody really knew who they were (it was a mainstream festival). These guys blew the house down !! Wonderful show. The audience loved them so much that they cheered for 15 minutes. They finally came back and played "House of suffering". Incredible souvenir !

[wombsquid]

mackie is excellent

[szrederos]

dobry kawalek bad brains rise up he

[f1l173]

BET will never show black people playing shit like this !!! long life to the bad brains !

[ArmedPoverty]

who gives a fuck if its HR? as long as there is a crazy guy with dreads screaming at me im good to go

[idoni69]

RISEN UP OUT OF THE ASHES OF THE FIYAH OF PURIFICATION IN THIS ILLIUSION WE CALL THE WORLD OF DISTRUCTION

[clifton250]

love this (hippy) shit! more please!

[Greendub76]

@clifton250 - Hippy shit? You're fucking idiot. You prolly have Garth Brooks's greatest hits on your ipod......fuckstick

[Markfly]

Best Bad Brains line-up. By Far. And I've been listening to this band forever.

[synthrock1]

They should've kept this line-up. High pipes from Israel, high-electric riffs from Know, thunder drums from Mackie, and haunting bass from Hudson

[bhodybored]

brings back so many good mems! We were skateboarding back then and we werent poluted by todays imperseverant futile you have to do this you have to do that..

[Owaiter]

This is not the Bad Brains....

[punkdaz]

@Owaiter 100% agree

[hud42cdo]

who is that pounding the skins?is it steve from JINGO DE LUNCH ?

[wanabepunkrocker]

@hud42cdo WOW, dropping a Jingo reference? I thought I was one of a handful of fans out there. Love old Jingo!

[clifton250]

@hud42cdo yeah i just wanted to say in response to your question. i think the name of the guy playing the drums this time out is a guy named makie, who apparently use to play for the cro - mags. but yeah man, whoever it is thumping the hell out of the skins, they will always be a great band.

[xxxKINGFROGxxx]

Great band! (apart from their homophoibc view!)

[GhettopunkrockerTV]

I think they renouced their homophobia.

[mtitsworth]

I love HR. But he ain't cutting it anymore. Joseph I has the energy and the voice the Bad Brains need. I have all their music and Rise is a great album. Much respect.

[GhettopunkrockerTV]

Yeah, that would be cool but Joseph I aren't good on business or personal terms. The dude from the Cro-Mags has a better chance.

[kingofthechode]

yuck man hippie crap. ave it rock for light and self titled tho i would love to see them at that time

[spetsziva]

So what he attacked audience with a mike big fucking deal, that and more happened when we use to slam dance, not "mosh" in a "moshpit.

[thewayhighmen]

I enjoy all versions of Bad Brains. The hardcore punk they originally pioneered is something that can't be duplicated. Then they became hardcore rastafarians and that's really a fundamentalist religion. Not punk. I loved this album and Quickness.

[JBourn11]

hey i didnt know they changed singers, whats the story

[00roastedlampost00]

Oh well HR started losing it aroundabout 1990 and developed a nasty habit of attacking fans with his mic stand, so he was replaced by one Israel I ^^. But he's back now..... :) :/ :(

[bobomcfuckfuck420]

Infighting man lol...they went back and forth but I like the Black Dots lineup the best. Great band none the less no matter who on vocals

[00roastedlampost00]

Yeah this dude's actually pretty good at being HR, considering.... that he isn't HR.

[RonnyGreenberg]

This blows the pish out of the mental patient carnival that passes today for a Bad Brains gig. Passion, emotion and ability....and this is before the moronic sweat-shop produced clothing line and disgusting ticket prices.

[00roastedlampost00]

Well you know what - you've got a point. I am just loyal to the original lineup for old time's sake I guess - I don't know how the hell I'd have survived the school system if it wasnt for Rock for Light and I against I

[pancrack]

saw them in Newcastle Uk on this tour and they were fkn Awesome - despite no Hr it was a capable and immense fill in. Listen to this clip here, its note perfect !

[srujgh]

i have always wondered what brand of bass darryl uses i love that thing!

[JackCabellero]

Israel and Mackie were the truth. Personally I'd rather see this version of the band play then sit through HR's modern episodes of paranoid schizophrenia. But forget all that. These guys were killing it back in 93'-94'. So happy to see this video. Thanks for posting.

[Icantunderstandyou]

So you guys are talking a lot about "HR's modern episodes of paranoid schizophrenia" &

Mind if I ask what happened?

[profitprophet368]

Rise up

[bentrod]

totally agree without earl hudson and hr this aint no stinkin bad brains daryl and dr. know should be ashamed forever even calling themselves bb

[kingofthechode]

i agree too this blows. first album, rock for light and black dots are so amazing i can't describe it. this is so boring...

[davenaz]

FAKE BRAINS

[zomebies]

hc punx way better

[soundirge]

ya, the last time i saw them he wasnt very energetic, but theres no way he could be as wild on the stage as he used to be, at his age. hes gettin up there, hes gotta be in his 50s at least. it would be that much better if he still had it though. i do have love for Isreal, but HR is the man & the bad brains are still fuckin awesome.

[chimphater]

At the time I wasn't really hip to Israel on vocals, but now, after the lethargic disgrace that HR has become, I'd love it if they got Israel back and put on some shows with ENERGY.

[DISANOD]

Dispite the fact that this is the Bad Brains without HR and Earl this band will ALWAYS kick the ass of ANY other band!!!!!!!

[dopeke20]

oh i think its avaliable on the Insanity EP that came out in the late 90s,98 i think

[dopeke20]

i cant find the song anywhere online either

[LaughingLizardLady]

I was there and I LOVED it! Cannot find the single "Rise" anywhere online. Have tried to buy via iTunes etc, but only the video is available, not the single on its own. Does anyone know where I can get this tune for my ipod?? :-)

[soundirge]

its the first track off of the album "Rise"...with a cool cover id like to add.

[cisco9x]

This is mediocre bad brains, but still good

[dopeking2003]

im not sure if this guys as good as HR but who cares? Dr Know is still owning the likes of fall out boy and other bands you hear all day on the radio or mtv all day, riff master!

[porkskins]

Mackie did a great job on this album as well as the studio work on Quickness.

What guitar is Dr Know playing? Cant make out the logo on the headstock.

[porfinllegamos]

Dond esta H.R ???

[MyBrainDrained]

"wrong singer wrong drummer

not bad though"

I strongly disagree. HR would not have sounded good on this song, or the whole album (rise) for that matter. And dude, Mackie is so good.

[cocolaum]

this formation made q awesome record! HR is irreplaceble, but Israel fucking rules!!!!!!!!!!!

[Keenum]

You can't beat the original lineup, but Israel and Mackie do as good of a job as ANY other fill ins could have done.

I think Mackie really does a great job, and Israel's voice really fits with this song.

It's different, but still GOOD MUSIC.

[gambeats]

Mackie is in my book as one of the signiture drummers from Ny.Like Dave grohl,Mackie has is own style and until you've seen this cat play in all the different settings that I have I.e Bad brains,FLC,Shelter,Cro-Mags..

you'd know how badd this dude is.

I actually saw his hands after some of those show.Split open and bleeding..

That's hardcore!

[Sabbathking]

To the haters Israel is the man just because you hardcore career didn't take off don't hate.Wrong singer/wrong drummer?You are jealous!Israel and Mackie have the utmost respect for THE BRAINS.

[chpepper]

that's mackie on drums BAD MOTHER F!!!

[Rock74]

Not classic Bad Brains but good track.

[zryan74]

rock on indeed.

[surfact123]

pretty cool

[HarleyFlanagan]

wrong singer wrong drummer

not bad though

[enderb83]

awesome!

[ckd1]

nice but that is not H.R.

[ChillC]

where's H.R???

[THEALLSEEINGEYEOFGOD]

Hey cool, Shades Of Culture was on this tour in '92 Just After Israel had finished this Album with the Brains :)Great video!!!
