Bad Brains - Attitude 1979

[grimsbyhaarr]

rock n roll in its purest form this i think

[wxmachinegun]

0:46 - 0:55 is how this song makes me feel.

[PorroFirst]

Altitude.

[a2damuthafukkink]

fuck yes! H.R. we still got that P.M.A. !

[ebonics4everyone]

This is so much more real than that gay Sid Vicious stuff the mass media was marketing as rebellion in '79

[LeLimeLine]

Whenever I have to show someone what rock and roll looks like, I show them this video.

[Serenberg]

WOW WAY 2 COOL 4 MOST PEOPLE

[DIZTOMAK]

BAD BRAINS ROCKS!!!

COMES TO VENEZUELA

[chucktheginger]

[sstarsfalon]

[simpsons2170]

jamaican punk band? bad brains are from dc.

[pistolwhipmcgee]

Awesome. Only they ain't Jamaican...

[frankassert]

Aaaaaarrrrrggghhh!!!!!!!

I love how HR's legs get funk-overdrive when he gets close to the kit just as the drums doubles up into the middle-eight....then Fuck knows how he JUST makes it back on the mic' to get back in....and what the fuck he say's in that third verse....the energy.....this is Punk Rock Pure - The best.

They showed us all how to do it.

[FleshLessOne]

Fuckin' A ... it's Bad Brains .... (o_-

[ratsass21]

Jamaica? What the Fuck!! Stupid youngster, go back to school!!

[neurocytohemotoxic]

The guy who posted this video is dumb as shit. Bad Brains is not from Jamaica. They are from Capital Heights, Maryland. It's a suburb of Washington, D.C.

[dong604]

funny how a bunch of black dudes dressed like an r&b group shredded the punk scene to pieces.

[Khultan]

This is blowing my mind because it's the first time seeing this Bad Brains. I didn't know who they were just kept hearing Bad Brains. I'm stunned. It's funny-people always assuming about something or somebody. I thought Bad Brains were caucasian kids naturally.

[dong604]

i knew they were black before i really heard their music. trust me though...they COMPLETELY BLEW my MIND away too the first time i heard them. this performance is awesome.

[Khultan]

I'm trying to favorite this but Youtube is informing that I've reached my limit of 1998. Is that right?

[72twist]

@dong604

punk is much less about image and more about state of mind. Political/social commentary.............they could have come out in potato sacks and they wouldn't be any less punk. Love these guys.

[xXoRaNgEsKiTtLeSXx]

im 11 and im am the only 1 in my school who understands how amazing this band is

[sensawada]

i m 31...from chile. congratulations my friend, not much people understand the meaning of old school punk band's. if you want to know some latin's or chileand band's (old school too) just let me know i will send you music...

[sensawada]

sorry..... my inglish is like shit ! hahahah

[magnetic77]

you are light years ahead of those in school with you bro...

[Serenberg]

[192979]

Badbrains!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[streethustlerm17]

they werent jamaican

[GEORGEMYBURGH]

@streethustlerm17 tell em...! they's more american than the kkk anyway not that i fancy that bunch of flour heads anyway....vote and change...

[Vercingetorix2006]

This group was out of control!!! And then they mellow out to cool reggae. This group totally blew me away when I first heard "Rock For Light" back in the day.

[broc138]

I accidently gave a thumb down, sorry!! One of the best punk groups ever!! Faster than everything else!

[FriendsOfNone]

fuuuck i wish it played I afterwards.

[katrastrophy]

GREAT DANCING!

[nevertechshipwreck]

such a fun band

[wonkiez]

awesome song

[paulstearne]

amazing band but total dicks

[plumbevil]

I hate to admit it but I agree with you. they were always dicks when they came thru austin

[uberover]

What a bolt of lightning

[ParadoxIncarnate]

According to an interview with Daryl Jenifer, the whole anti-gay thing was basically just a phase and he wishes they never went through it. Hopefully the rest of the band really is over that stupid shit too. Either way, I can't deny how amazing their music is.

[JesusCostelluccio]

exuberation of jubilee.

[crustedmind]

that suit is genius, and the dancing that he does is golden as well.

[DeftonesATF27]

you guys are all caught up in the hype of somthing that has nothing to do with the lyrics of the bad brains or the music. and if H.R. talks about batty boys then they just may be, hes the most pimp front man ever.

[RudeKen]

Agreed. Except for the last part, Jello Biafra is in a close tie.

[ShhBeans]

This was Bad Brains at their peak, once they turned rasta and started spouting homophobic garbage like dont blow no bubbles they were obsolete to me

[deadhouse]

Good riddance, besides who gives a shit what you think. Go back to Pet Shop Boys, the village people, and boy george, it seems ot be more in your league.

[RichterIX]

How is he wrong? He's right, HR went absolutely balls-out insane not too long after this. Rasta is just as bad as conservative right wing Christianity, and I don't have to support any band that spouts off a bunch of ignorant, uninformed homophobic bullshit.

[deadhouse]

then what the fuck are you doing watching this video genius?

[RichterIX]

Like ShhBeans said, this video is from before they became Rastafarians and HR turned into a raging bipolar nutjob. That, and I don't need your approval to watch videos on Youtube.

[deadhouse]

so than stop telling people what they should or should not listen to! If people want to hear HR and bad brains sing about whatever THEY FEEL like saying, why do little bitches like you and shhbeans feel the need to tell everyone about the homophobia, just shut the fuck up and listen to the music and if you dont like them, dont listen to them, none of their eras. Did you understand sweetheart?

[ifutureman]

@deadhouse he never told anyone what they should or shouldn't listen to, dumbass.

[CaliforniaAfrican]

Homophobia or any other type of bigotry is unexceptable. But, I do not think that Rastafarianism is the origin of HR's ignorance. People choose to spout hatred. Rastafarians have their share of bigots just like any other religion.

[TargetAudience1]

Yeah. They were cool back with the first album though. C'mon, it's the Bad Brains!

[heezy123]

did you just say "rastafarianism" ? you just made a big disrespect the the entire rastafari movement.

[shirou2230]

Bad Brains are awesome. And the District of Columbia isn't a state. If it were, we would have 51 states. It is exactly what its name states it is: a district in Maryland. Stop making it anymore complex than that.

[1gregmichael]

'amn, this cracka is off da fuggin hook. where yo bling at foo'?

[RudeKen]

Jesus Christ! DC IS NOT A FUCKING STATE. I know first hand, being that I have been there countless times. It purposly is not its own state, being that it would have to much power. The goverment TRIES to distribute power equally.

[AtheistAnarchoRudi]

@RudeKen dc is not a state, that is correct. it is actually a crown colony. the reason it is not a state however is not to balance power but to make it so dc has its own constitution. dc therefore acts independently of the USA constitution so the white house legally does not have to follow the people's desires. youtube the keywords "RING OF POWER PART 1" to check my evidence. PLEASE do not believe me .

[1gregmichael]

The GodFathers of Hardcore!!! They Rule!!!

[trance23]

Washington DC IS in Maryland - which is in Jamaica. You people have no clue

[198973]

I think what people need to see watching this is

the fact it is 1979. There simply wasnt music like this at the time it was the fucking disco era. These guys were the pioneers of american/punk hardcore music.

Fuck the sex pistols and the clash bad brains had more talent and power than any of them. American hardcore at its finest. Fucking bad brains. much respect.

[ManilaSyndicate]

Hear hear.

[CaliforniaAfrican]

Amen. You got it right. When will they ever get their just do?  Where is their induction into to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Why do my people get to be pioneers, never get their accolades, and suffer without the wealth of the others they inspire?

[ThisIsScreenname]

you gotta learn dude.

Bad Brains are simply the most underrated band of all time. but i kinda like it like that. like a mini-revolution that only us Hardcore kids know about

[keikothemeowmeow]

wow...fuckin Bad Brains...

How I *heart* them so.

oh and screenname...don't call me hardcore.

[leeraconteur]

Because Life is Unfair.

They also were unstable, because HR was a hothead from 1979-1986, during their most creative period.

They also didn't want to sign to a major.

They were Punks, remember? From DC? Total Indie attitude.

[Commax]

Bad Brains rocks! They're American, not Jamacian. They are Rastafarians.

[toolhuman]

How is DC in Maryland? Two seperate entities my friend.

[last808]

Bad Brains are from Washington D.C. which is in Maryland. But, they are devout Rastafarians.

[shrapnelenema]

def not sxe

[thmnetwork]

DC isn't in a state it's inbetween virginia and mayland, a nitpick I know, sorry I just had to correct you...I'll go back to rubbing one off to internet porn now...

[last808]

DC was made out of part of Maryland and would be inside it's borders. (It was made out of part of Virginia too but that was given back.) So saying it's "inside" Maryland is an easy way to remember it's geographic location. But OK, it's surrounded by Maryland and the Patomac river.

[Enmantecado]

Increible ¡
