thealmighty... Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Listen to Agression, they were the West Coast version of Bad Brains. Same era, similar sound. Got a link? I searched but only found some euro band from 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirkone Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 homophobic fools, they really aren't that good. Maybe first album they released was good. After the early punk stages they just turned boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullshitTantrum Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 The bad brains sucks. They stole The Dick's bag of weed and called them faggots. Not punk. The last time I payed attention to bad brains they were doing acoustic on MTV and that was the last i cared to sort of care. Plus punks don't just smoke weed and praise jah (together). smoke crack worship satan and not sellin my bands shirt at stores in the mall for 13 year olds to have there mommys buy. but then again 80's US hardcore really never got my rocks off to hard.

Ignition Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I got the first album on vinyl, but that's all I got. Any other records from these guys anyone would recommend? The first one is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullshitTantrum Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Really brah? i know shit loads of people disagree but to me just sticking to 80's US hardcore is fucking boring. partially because the "punks" where i live are all early 90's born kids obsessed with 80's HC and late 70's surf. plus everywhere else in the world had sick bands in the 80's. japanese dust noise crust bands, sweeden and uk's d beat bands, 80's finnish hc even Hollands SXE 80's punk bands all catch my attention way more than 99% of the rubber stamped watered down shitty 80's punk bands in the US. but honestly i just hated the sound of HR's voice. if its 80's us hc i listen to cro mags, negative approach, DYS, pre rollins Black Flag and the mother fucking king of punks POISON IDEA and alot more so its not like i'm discrediting all us 80's hc. I just don't think its the end all of what punk in the states is. and bad brains fucking suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever put that bill together should have been punched in the face. I'm assuming it was a show because there's no way I could see BB voluntarily showing up to watch the Dicks play. They've always been upfront about their stance on homosexuality...I don't agree with it or support it, but it's never detracted from their music. Really brah? i know shit loads of people disagree but to me just sticking to 80's US hardcore is fucking boring. partially because the "punks" where i live are all early 90's born kids obsessed with 80's HC and late 70's surf. plus everywhere else in the world had sick bands in the 80's. japanese dust noise crust bands, sweeden and uk's d beat bands, 80's finnish hc even Hollands SXE 80's punk bands all catch my attention way more than 99% of the rubber stamped watered down shitty 80's punk bands in the US. but honestly i just hated the sound of HR's voice. if its 80's us hc i listen to cro mags, negative approach, DYS, pre rollins Black Flag and the mother fucking king of punks POISON IDEA and alot more so its not like i'm discrediting all us 80's hc.

Reading all that is sort of like what I'd imagine a crusty version of the Comic Book Guy would sound like. Sorry, not everyone can be as hip and in the know as you, and punk is a really broad term in that there's room for Jah and weed and Krishnas and homophobes and racists. I'm not thrilled with all the commercialism in punk (or music in general) but it's been happening for a long, long time....and the way I see it, some of those kids just need a starting point, eventually they'll figure out that there's a connection between Green Day and Rancid and they'll use that to get to Op Ivy and Blatz and the Rudiments. Some don't care, they're totally okay with whatever's on the radio and that's okay too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shai Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 If you did some research, I'm sure you can find out a lot of unsavory things about famous punk rockers. Besides, I learned to separate the music from the politics/message a long time ago. Me and my gay black friends have been known to listen to Skrewdriver. They were a damn good punk band, and it's pretty easy to laugh at Ian Stuart...he's so crazy! And taking it a bit farther, if I were to write off Bad Brains for their homophobia, I would have to write off a lot of the reggae that I like. I'm not a right wing douchebag, far from it. However, I'm not politically correct in the sense that I have tolerance for everyone's opinions and ideas without exception...it makes the world a lot more interesting.
