About the Artist

Soul Brains, formerly known as Bad Brains, originally formed in Washington, DC in 1977 and named after the Ramones song "Bad Brain". The Bad Brains are cited as the main influence for some of the biggest rock bands of all time and are widely considered the pioneers of hardcore punk. The Bad Brains have broke up and reformed several times over the last 30 years, the group's classic lineup features singer H.R., guitarist Dr. Know, bass guitarist Darryl Jennifer, and drummer Earl Hudson. Bad Brains self titled debut album was released in January 1982 on New York's ROIR Records, "Rock for Light", was released in 1983 and produced by Ric Ocasek of The Cars. 1986's "I Against I" was released on SST Records, seen by some as their finest recording. The title track's video was shown repeatedly on MTV, as well as the band's performance was used in MTV's promotional footage. In 1995 the original band got back together for the first time in five years, Madonna (a fan from the early 80's), signed the Bad Brains to her Maverick Records label for the release God of Love.

The first couple Bad Brains albums took the sounds of Punk Rock and Reggae music to build a sound that influenced an entire generation of musicians, such as the Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Living Colour, Rage Against the Machine, Henry Rollins and many, many more.

5.0 out of 5 stars great selection well done, October 16, 2007

This review is from: Bad Brains Reunion: Live in San Francisco (Audio CD)

I've liked Bad Brains for a long time, the 1987 live album "Yout are getting restless" being probably my all time favorite live album for as long as I can remember. Had some of their greatest hard works on it: stand outs like Re-Ignition, Sacred Love, In the Movies etc...

Then nearly 20 years later they come again with all the good ones, done differently than before but still well, and with some other old and newer stuff also done fantastically to make a live record which is for me comprehensively better than the previous classic.

The music is as good as ever, and as ever HR is all over the place. The band still has the edge that made it most lovable for so long. This is actually a really good introduction to the band in terms of songs although the production is probably not as spot on as the 1987 version.

For those unfamiliar with the band it would probably fair to say they are not just a classic punk band. For me they also have a very strong element of what came later with bands like Living Colour and Faith no More with a sort of heavy edged music but in an accessable way: heading towards what Sevendust and bands like that started doing even later.

Probably not credited by many as leaders of that modern hard alt rock scene but I think they have a right to take some credit for it.

I give it a one just for stealing my cash and saying it's remastered. Sounds just like the original release. No ifs, ands, buts about it.
