Bad brains bad brains zip

It is sad about the Bad Brains I guess it will always be a love-hate relationship to me. I love and respect them for being one of the first all-black punk bands in a predominately white music, I mean that was fucking awesome. Unfortunately they like many other 80's punk bands were ignorant and not open to homosexuality. I know a part of it was the time period, and another part of it was the religious aspect Ring Of Truth , Jan 25, I've only ever heard a few seconds of them, and shuffle hadn't even graced them yet.

LucidStrike , Jan 26, Propagandhi may have got ya inta punk but thats like saying the sp's got mi inta punk, oh wait, they're gods. ASA , Jan 26, Anxiety69 , Jan 26, Yeah that info is pretty accurate - I asked Dave Dictor from MDC about this years ago and that's pretty much what he said about what happened in Texas. You can read about it in the "American Hradcore" book by Stephan Blush.

When I first heard bad brains I was amazed at their musical dexterity - they played faster than everyone and set the benchmark for hardcore but could slip effortlessly into roots reggae too. The first two albums ROIR and Rock for Light mix that is are absolute classics but bar the odd song they've done nothing to equal it since. The homophobia was awful but it's part of the culture of Rasta it seems.

I find that just as disturbing that they were promoting, and still promote patriarchial religion, which is as intolerant as it is short-sighted. Their first big comeback was promoted by that queen of Diy hardcore and anarchist politics Madonna shudder - the dreadful "God of Love" album. The latest album is better but isn't especially good - HR chanting the same line over and over to a few riffs. Their reggae stuff is good though if it wasn't for the 'mostly' crap lyrics.

I also read that they hoped to play for the inaugoration of Barrack Obama - how low can a punk get??? Dave Dictor also told me that he'd spoken to a few of the Brains since those times and they've become a lot more tolerant so I think it's fair enough what Darryl Jennifer is saying about growing up and moving on. Would like to hear that from HR too though. Yeah they were a great band, one of the best in their time, but they've dug a very big hole for themselves. Never really got into BB so i guess that was a good thing?

Its unfortunate to see that views of homophobia, especially in a band like this are still around Vegetarian Barbarian , Jan 26, I actually dont care about the bands lyrics, I only like them for the music. As for homophobia, I dont care for it but Im not a nazi about it because I hate everyone anyway, so I dont really care.

Im more worried about animal rights issues than human being issues. Being gay is a a great cure for overpopulation though, same thing with hard drugs and AIDS.

Cocytus , Jan 26, Now everyone can hate me more than they already do, like I actually care? You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content. Similar Threads - bad brains homophobia.
