Hip-Hop Head Reaction First Time Hearing BAD BRAINS - DC Punk Rock Legends - "BIG TAKEOVER" live 

absolute legends, unreal how many people don't know one of the greatest bands of all time

He could actually really sing. He was just jamming lol

The guy has absolutely no clue, what great band he just saw in a legendary powerful, classic show in a classic venue for that kind of music.

As a quick example of how iconic Bad Brains are: The singer (known as "H.R.") is actually the person that first coined the term "MOSH PIT". Though originally known as a "MASH PIT", his Jamaican accent made "mash" sound like "mosh"... the name stuck and history was made. -Doc

I’m the 20-year-old punk in the leather jacket at the front left side totally getting bashed around.One of thegreatest shows ever!!! One of best bands ever.!!!!

I partied with HR a few times. classy dude

The Bad Brains were more than just a punk band - they were a sea change in punk rock. Tons and tons of punk bands say the Bad Brains were a massive influence. Heck Ian MacKay from Minor Threat and all the other DC bands all site them.

My favorite hardcore punk band of all time. Friend of mine bought a cassette back in the early 80s, didn't like it, and gave it to me. I played it so much the print disappeared and then my recorder finally ate it. I listened to them ALOT for about 10 straight years.

H.R is 1000lbs of dynamite in a 5lb bag. Always going nuts during shows, going as far as taping himself to a school desk and still pulling off crazy flips

Bad Brains are one of the greatest bands to ever exist.

The Beastie Boys worshipped this band. They took the B and B in their names to mimic the B’s in the Bad Brains. When they were elected to the Rock N Roll Hall of fame Ad rock shouts out the Bad Brains first. I can express how much this band means to our generation indie/punk/hardcore fans. It’s a shame people don’t know.

Seen the bad brains a few times when I was young. They were quite a spectacle to behold very inspiring and what you see in this footage is what you get.

Bad Brains was one of the bands that infuence the start of hard core and thrash metal, this is crunchy dirty old school punk, I'm 56 i still love this band.

I can honestly say that I've met the singer HR and can vouch that he's a very nice and polite person; he performed a solo reggae set with the bassist from Sublime (yeah, THAT Sublime) at a local venue here last year for like $10 and even though he's much older than he was in this clip, he still had an intense energy radiating from him going through the music that you could feel, not just hear, and from what I hear of talking to people who saw them in the early 80's, it seems that while the body has grown weaker over time, the spirit is still the same from back then.

That guy singing with H R. looks like Adam Horowitz. If you know, you know...

love bad brians

I like these two guys together. You wouldn’t think they’d be friends and that’s what I love.

I saw them at A7 club in NYC, 81-82? HR is amazing. Bad Brains are a ICON.

I never saw them in DC back in the day. I had their albums going back to 1981. First album and “Rock for Light”. These guys went to NYC in the early 80s. “Banned in DC “ was a song talking about the real thing. They had to move away. …They were/are awesome musicians!

I wasn't their but I've always been a fan. Best punk rock band ever

I saw 10 foot pole about a million times back in the 90s....they opened for almost every show I went to. And yo, you cant hate on HRs voice man...hes iconic! And also since you said that about singing with HR, I got to sing nearly an entire song at a Suicide Machines show....great memory.

DC sniper came a couple decades after this and was from Baton Rouge

Bad Brains is the inventors of HC!!!!!!!!!

Bad Brains…total…fuckin…game changers- John Watson

Their reggae is off the charts as well listen to leaving Babylon and rally round Jah throne. I'm a spiritual dude and I listen to their message daily.

wait until he hears the whole album and reads the lyrics!!!

I was a baby

BAD BAD BRAINS!!!!

No need to imagine what it would be like if Busta Rhymes was to do a punk metal reggae mashup

All brothers

Damn diss to one of the greatest punk bands to ever exist. And they weren’t white

The REAL OG’s ⚡️ You dudes today have no clue

"What are we doing now"? Entertainment Lighting Design.

Best Hardcore Punk Band ever

DC legendsssss

i was there christmas eve 1982

Ahahah! You’re so out off this feeling! You’re planet is so « meanstream »…😢mercy man!

Bad brains is not just punk! Check something other than punk unless you absolutely love early-day classic hardcore punk bad brains. If you're open to other kind, listen to god of love, rise, soulcraft, re-ignition, I and I survive, give thanks and praises. Right brigade has different element to punk as well. Their versatility adventurous attitude in music set them apart.

The greatest voice and frontman in history hands down

So I’m an electrician with a useless college education now. But the DC Hardcore scene was my real education. And FU for the DC sniper comments like that was just another horror scene for us that is a joke to you.

theres is a band called "dc snippers" !!

Best gringo punk

Did see Bad Brains a few times. The most memorable was at Iguanas in Tijuana. Years before the sniper...why insult them?

That wasn't I Against I that was attitude

You did not pass the vibe check smh. Listen to I luv jah tho

You don't get it. One of the best punk bands ever.

Always like the music but his vocals always puts me off. First heard them in late 80's and my opinion hasn't changed

Bro, you are way out of your depth but still got the takeaway correct…

Ignorance from 2022. Nobody cared about video or being recorded back then. You are watching the birth of HARDCORE PUNK and who was there? Ian MacKay, Henry Rollins, and Joey Ramone. Ian and Henry took it and ran. Another genre of music introduced by black musicians to the world stage. But you laugh at who gets on stage. I wish I could have been in that crowd. What bands were you on stage with? Nonbands, that's who. Music, back in the olden days, was different and the level of inclusiveness was far greater. Now we get 10 foot walls and security everywhere. We saw Bush's opening North America concert this year. I'm not a fan, but the wife is. We were right up front and the wife got to stroke Gavin multiple times. It reminded me of the old days when you were there. However, I watched the whole band and noticed all the problems they were having and how the roadies where running in circles. Nobody else noticed because they had their phones up and watching one person ON THE PHONE....he was 20 feet away and everyone was looking at their phone. The day the music died. Bye Bye Miss American Pie.

Wow this dude doesnt have a clue

Bruh u not worthy....... period

ignorance coursing through this review

Harcore....no punk rock.

GBH sick boy (live)
