Attila - "Brain Invasion" (1970) Audio Only

[frashardcore]

Sounds Like Nintendocore

[pingu53]

[Downstrokes8thnotes]

Is it really a blast beat if there's no bass drum?

[yungkrunk]

@Downstrokes8thnotes What a stupid question.

[B360Lightning]

The British band Quatermass had a similar guitar-less heavy rock sound in 1970, except Quartermass had a bass player.

[bucky468]

Did anybody really buy this album? This is said to be the worst ever heavy metal album ever recorded. I just thought I'd take a listen.

[strongskills555]

This sounds like a drummed out version of the worst background music from the arcade video games of the early 80s.

[PrivateSnowballTFC]

It's like Mario...but with blast beats....

[KuruFasulye666]

just here to listens first blast beat.I'll go the moment blasts end

[DarekHB]

This shit is sick.

[DANIELISOCKS]

Did everyone on this video just come here to hear some of the first ever blast beats?

[amicrazi]

@DANIELISOCKS

Yes >:3

[PrivateSnowballTFC]

@DANIELISOCKS Yes, the amazing influence of Wikipedia...

[browncoat697]

Yep, that's a blast beat alright. All the foundations for death metal were laid in the 60s and 70s - Boris the Spider has a death growl, this has a blast beat, and Symptom of the Universe has a thrash riff (and thrash basically developed into death over a long period of time).

[buggadugg]

I din'nt kno billy jo.

[Faggotura]

oh shit, that was really a blast beat! awesome \m/^_^\m/

[crowbarftw]

2:00 > Suddenly, grindcore.

[MrMurzilla]

Hammond sounds's great!

Whatever> love Billy's songs

[mrbob424]

sounds like a song on 1 of those old video games of the 70's lol

[DynamoWorks]

@mrbob424 absolutely!!

[6266Slayer]

WTF!!!???!!!

[Discoveryv2]

this thing is pathetic :S, only good thing is that 8 sec blastbeat at 2:00 :)

[LobotomyMadeEasy]

This is one of the worst things I've ever heard.

[gazzadawson]

Fuckin organ sounds like Mario or something in places.

[napalmko]

1 person is anti-semitic.

[Stoner075]

@napalmko C'mon, you gotta be joking!!!!

[S3XVA7JAN1T0R666]

GENE KRUPA BLASTS FIRST!

[tiki2188]

The allmusic review blasted this to all hell.

I like it!

Really.

Not sure what it says about my taste, its not that bad.

Guess it wasn't mainstream enough for him so he blasted it.

This is pretty cool

[chrisco2323]

Wow!  I never would have guessed that Billy Joel used to be into music.

[euantheclansman]

The worst "rock" of all time award goes to Brokencyde.

[pignugent]

Not the first ever. Albert Ayler's "Holy Ghost" had the first that I can think of.

[Thanatopraxis666]

@pignugent live in greenwich village version of Holy Ghost.

[RPExecutor]

All critics are on crack. This rules!

[MasterYumyums]

I find this really pro for some reason!

[SaturnTrack]

If this is the worst album of all-time, then all modern-day music must be amazing!

[JeffK1980]

The best part in this clip was during the 4:12-4:18 mark. I can picture Cab Calloway tap-dancing to this beat. Tap-dancing goes perfect with this piece bein' played here.

[explorations]

This sounds like 3rd rate ELP...

[SlayersOfTrolls]

Too bad Billy Joel didn't stick to this instead of the crap that he makes now.

[Tolstoy111]

@SlayersOfTrolls What are you taking about? He hasn't released new music in almost 20 years.

[pickledawg453]

What's with the hate? This song sounds amazing, and not just because of the drums.

[houseshoesbto]

ha wikipedia never lies bitches

[winstonboogie9]

Beats the hell out of Cold Harbor!

[nirvgardengod]

its still rock n roll to me,,this is making me laugh

[bryanatg]

this shxt rips!!! im thrashin to bill joel!!!!

[abyssalservant]

this is really horrible other than the drums. also, while perhaps the first "rock" blast beat it's not the first blast and I really doubt Billy Joel cares about Napalm Death or any such band :P

[KillswitchJohn]

this song sucks this has been called the worst rock album of all time by everybody lol

[Arcturus420]

@KillswitchJohn You're wrong because I wouldn't call it the worst rock album of all time... so not everybody says that.

[GBStuff]

man - I got this album for two bucks at a GC Murphy's or something back in '72

long gone from my collection - great to hear it again!

[Christianholt911]

hahah^^ on of the first blastbeats at 2:00

[Murder4Survival]

This guys must be proud of Napalm Death XD

[tsartodd]

@Christianholt911 OMG you are right!!!

billy joel, a godfather of death metal -- who woulda thunk it?!?

XD

[twooffour]

@Christianholt911

watch?v=vYubfQt7s3o#t=99 ;)

[Christianholt911]

@twooffour hahahahahah! From what year is this?! Awesome none the less, Buddy Rich was an amazing drummer

[twooffour]

@Christianholt911

No idea :D

Here's somewhat of a "precursor" I've just found:

watch?v=tT4KmpBXqEg#t=85 :D

And while I'm at it, what the heck:

watch?v=23sAqZVWkSY#t=15 ;)

[antonfjordson]

who killed sgt. pepper?

[rexcat]

This to me resembles ELP except there's only two band mambers with Billy providing the bass on the keyboard. A lost prog rock gem has been found.

[issofunky]

Funny how many lines in this song are re-used during his Angry young man era of playing....sounds like a viking carnival....as heard through the ears of a nintendo.

The other songs rock, but this one sounds like some kind of early Phish jam that didn't quite get there.....

[mynameisomar199]

2:00 the first blast beat!!!!!

[EvisceratorBand]

Oh goddamnit, you beat me to it.

[6266Slayer]
