Bad Brains - "Give Thanks and Praise/Jah Love"

[LoneWolfNaota]

I love ALL music, so that transition was really dope to me! ^_^

[EmceeHo13]

Bad Brains still plays. Sometimes as Soul Brains. Saw them at House of Blues in

Chicago. They ruled the punk scene and there will never be another group like them. Love when they go from punk riffs to Hard reggae bass beats.

[qbert401]

i used to smoke weed to this song 4 years ago and skate jamming to this !

[myguitardidyermom12]

One of the few bands to come back and be even better than before.

[artebaez]

D. P.E.L.O.S.S.S.

[JazzFishGameCentre]

did Shavo from soad direct this ?



[iIIegal]

@JazzFishGameCentre yes

[Mrfantasticfoxx]

Earl Hudson!

BAD BRAINS R.I.R. 2011

[jbiz520]

BB...ahhh shit motherfucker!

[kingxskippy]

What is Jah?

I sound dumb, but idk what it is.

[JBlack706]

@kingxskippy

Jah is short for Jahova, as in God.

[kalletheowner]

Best hardcore band in the world! FOR SURE! Fucking love in the end when he passes the joint to the guy beside him ;)

[skapunkteddybear]

@kalletheowner That dude he passes the point to is Shavo, who used to play bass for System of a Down. He's a big fan of the band and directed this music video. Not a big fan of SOAD, but he's definitely a champ in my book, now.

[kalletheowner]

@skapunkteddybear Ah cool, thanks for telling ;) <3

[kalletheowner]

Best hardcore band in the world! FOR SURE!

[ralphwiley420]

Jah love Jah love Jah love

[chriswww]

This is fucking awesome!

[ALIENDNA14]

God everybody's an expert.... Just shut the fuck up and listen to the music! The Bad Brains are pioneers of hardcore - end of story - and all these sniffling little bitches can do is complain about what genre of music they fall under. RETARDED.

[TheDrones77]

@JMort95

this has nothing to do with ska!!! listen to the skatalites, the specials, rotterdam ska jazz foundation or prince buster, these people are playing ska!

bad brains, nice group by the way. but the dub-reggae-songs are so annoying that i just can not consider them as great, although their hardcore-songs are amazing!

[TheSkankRepublic]

I was there :) was awesome

[torpex808]

@TheSkankRepublic

That must have been an awesome concert, where was it?

[sbuckel1]

@torpex808

loooks like the gorge in WA

[sbuckel1]

@torpex808

loooks like the gorge in WA

[smokasomeweed]

this music is fucking angry. if you smoke weed i don't see how you could like this type of stuff. punks are just rebellious kids who found out about babylon too late and freak out. thats what i think anyway.BABYLON is not a place, it is a state of consciousness

[chriswww]

@smokasomeweed LOL

[8285cdv]

GIVE THANKS TO JAH .& BRING BACK N.Y.H.C TWISTEDIN72@YAHOO.COM YESDOPE&BADBRAINS

[torpex808]

Does anyone know where that outdoor concert in the vid was?

[chaskibum3000]

me encanta el video se converte en la vista de una persona a punto de perder la razón, buen trabajo.

[GodOfEmptiness1155]

Such a perfect blend of ass kicking hardcore and mellow reggae

[JMort95]

@GodOfEmptiness1155 that would be called ska

[Camyum]

Been covered by : Sublime, 311, No Doubt, and inspired many more. Bad Brains is one of the most influential bands ever.

[VinMetal666]

I love the Bad Brains but that song was really weird. Shavo and HR smokin a blunt at the end was awesome though.

[shaggybass101]

they are one of the greatest bands of all time :] all of their music is so wonderful, and this fucking song man, is perfect in everyway :D

[WhereThereDude]

[josh3mery]

Fuck The Bad Brains

[Theemperor1234]

[AAQueen26]

The Most High transcending Love...Rise It!

[shitfacedreprobate]

@jlukehart weed xD

[timndg]

[JRICHHHH]

HR, is 50something, and yet they are still coming up with innovative music?

i feel honored just to listen to this song.

[thedoncarlotto]

that truly rocked my head off

[oldschoolm8]

This is so heavy!

[PsychoticSikHypnotic]

SHAVO FTW!!! This song is awesome lol,

[BGS412]

Thank God For Bad Brains.

[ogpunkmetal]

they still got it

[malloryperry100]

this is tight!

[Dayberry]

Whats wrong with HR?

[ragekage52]

its like the way you feel when your hangover like the end

[PieceofMindmusic]

@ 3:16 onward, it sounds like HR is singing "jelllooooo"

[fnm1991]

@egeem2 while your at it , greatest band of all time.

[pauly45113]

@fnm1991 true dat

[roachbomb]

30+ Years of Greatness..Thank You B/B

[riseofravens]

beatdown at 0:52...this is true hardcore

[1991natedogg]

Does anyone wish that H.R. could still scream like he used to? The way he sings now is good for the reggae songs but its just not the same bad brains

[DarkestStealth]

@1991natedogg

Well dude look at the bright side of things at least Bad Brains are still around and by that I mean no band member is dead. I'm grateful they're still around long live Bad Brains.

[pauly45113]

@DarkestStealth WORD

[paulemasterman]

@DarkestStealth but sid doesn´t move now whhhhhhhyyyyyyy??? lol

i mean wtf^^

[hirofan]

Twenty years ago the scream was cool.. nowadays I can do without it. Comes with becoming an old fart.

[h3llgrim]

I saw them live and I get what you mean, but being what it is, its all good to me.

[Punkmetaller]

@1991natedogg Yeah I agree with you. This song has great riffs but the vocals don't seem to fit at all. It seems like they would go good for a reggae song.

[whoever111]

this is crazzy good and what i mean by that is its fucken nice guitar shredderz.

[Camyum]

Any Questions?

[idkhaveaname1369]

this is so dope, bad brain's rules!!

[DarkestStealth]

I bet in the very end that was not a cigarette it was a joint bahahaha.

[grayt]

no shit...who would pass a cig?

[DarkestStealth]

@grayt

Well sorry Mr.Testosterone.

[grayt]

its ok baby

[isaiahfromtexas]

still fucking amazing.

[MrDave524]

Shavo Odajian directed this!

[luciovidela123]

una d las mejores bandas del mundo dl hardcore la mezcla de kultura ke hisieron estos lokos es inkreible fueron d un extremo a otro y ambos en un mismo elemnto paz y furia amor y pasion

[benomidfinger]

I never liked punk that much.

But when I heard this guys, I have now another oppinion about it, and I discovered bands like Suicidal Tendencies, Black Flag and Fishbone.

[DarkestStealth]

@benomidfinger

Ha fo-sho man I seen Suicidal Tendencies live with Suffocation and Carcass back in the 90's.

[benomidfinger]

good times, huh?

[DarkestStealth]

@benomidfinger

Hell yeah good times.

[Butzopower]

One would think they would've sold out by 2007. It's such a great thing to see a hardcore band still thrive like this.

[LotusDANKZ420]

[xtxxcutthroatx]

[mansondevil33]

OK lets stop fighting! whether they created a whole new sub-genre of punk they are still amazing and will always be remembered

[xANIQUILADOR666x]

Seuna B'em!! Hardcore Fröm da Hoöd! Deu s'er ¡divaroooh! deu cara deir XD

[LibertySlave]

No Doubt, 311, and the other great borrowers of style would not existed without ripping off these legends!

Although Bad Brains themselves did not invent reggae or punk, they combined them to make Pungea.

[ba55g0d]

your a fucking tard dude

RASTAPUNK. what the funk iis pungea? it sounds like a foot fungus.

[LibertySlave]

Another fine product of our marvelous education system. Your user name says it all.

Pungea is what grows between your moms legs that you seem so fond of eating. Tard? Youre a fucking idiot. Go abort yourself you fucking Obamanite. Hows that you smart ass? Oh yeah, tell your mom to wash that crotch, o.k. you wanna be little bitch.

[TehNazz]

It's definitely Rastapunk, bro. Those who know this sort of music are very familiar with that term. Pungea doesn't exist, at the very least it's the wrong term for the same thing.

[ba55g0d]

oooo looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the cock this morning, and i think you should tell your mom that i wasn't satisfied at all,

infact, tell her to go fuck another dog, she might then have a kid/dog who isn't as stupid as your retarded fat ass.

[Ichee12]

Bad Brains created Hardcore Punk

[goeats11]

i thought they were punk and reggae combined all i hear is the punk lol

[piledriver89]

JAH

[marosko]

fuck, this is great!

You guys are the best!!!

[Cizcan]

[Cizcan]

Why'd that get two Nega-Thumbs?

I guess I'm so pro-establishment for having a basic cable package.

[Ciaglewruchu]
