Current Bad Brains

[Misfit_Fiend]

I recently found out that the Bad Brains will be playing in Toronto this summer (according to their website). The other bands that are playing with them seem to have reggae influences and I wanted to know does anyone think they'll play their hardcore stuff or stick to songs like I & I Survive? I get the feeling that they will play their reggae material which I like as well but I wouldn't mind hearing Pay to Cum or How Low Can a Punk Get.

Has anyone seem them in the past couple of years? and if so could you tell me the kind of set list they played?

[lynch_me]

Well they played old songs at CBGBs last year.

I Against I
Regulator
Right Brigade
Sailin On
I
Jah Love
Coptic Times
Sacred Love
Let Me Help
Soulcraft
I and I Survive
Banned in DC
FVK
I Love I Jah
At the Movies

Pay to Cum
Off Stage 12:20

That seems fair handed, I think I'll just go so at least say that I've seen them.

You will be the coolest kid.

well I already took care of that when I got hit by a car on my birthday this year.

Best birthday present ever...

[Misfit_Fiend]

Best birthday present ever...

It was the most hardcore birthday beat ever.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Considering how insane HR is the setlist could be just about anything.

[lynch_me]

Haha, Bad Brains covers saves the day.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

I don't know if I'd be happy or terrified.

Yes I've heard he is very unpredictable.

[IgniteYourAvail]

They'll probably play a shitload of songs from the new album.

[Flagjacket]

Haha, Bad Brains covers saves the day.

That's the most out of nowhere musical event I've ever heard of.

[lynch_me]

That's the most out of nowhere musical event I've ever heard of.

Yes Kevin. They call it "irony"

[Boilermaker]

I really hope the new album doesn't suck.

But that's kind of natural, right?

[IgniteYourAvail]

You gice are so pessimistic. Come on it's Bad Brains!

[lynch_me]

You gice are so pessimistic. Come on it's Bad Brains!

Thats like saying, "Hey It's Christopher Reeves! Superman!" Only after he had his accident.

[IgniteYourAvail]

Touché.

[Ghostfire3]

This guy I know saw Bad Brains a while ago, and after they played a shi't set, he met someone in the band (forget who) at the bar, and said, "You guys played the worst ****ing set ever. **** HR!", to which the band member replied, "hay, atleast you don't have to share the stage with that ****ing idiot."

The new Bad Brains album? I'm expecting the worst, to say the least.

Yeah, let's just say that HR and some of the other members aren't exactly the best of friends.

[Milo in college]

It'll probably be mostly new stuff, mixed with the older hardcore stuff, cause apparently the new album is hardcore.

**** THAT ****! H.R. Rocks my socks off! The best and greatest Bad Brains vocalist of all time!

Convenient how you don't remember any names or places - your just spreading rumors and besmirching a psychotic vocal genius' name

Shame on you!

BWAJAJAJAJA

BWWWWW

And, Yuzz, you need to come back into reality dude. HR isn't a God, he's a pretty twisted guy actually.

Well since he's from New York, and you can assume his friend is, which means it was probably at CBGB's last year.

[Flagjacket]

BWAJAJAJAJAJA! It's actually not a "rumor" -- i'm merely relaying exactly what my friend told me. Oh, and my friend is not like a, "let's sleep over at my house and drink beer when my parents go to sleep" sort of friend. This guy is a record collector from my area that used to be GG Allin's tour manager. I speak with him whenever i'm in his shop, or whenever I see him at shows and such.

I believe you and stuff, but nothing you said here has anything to do with Bad Brains.

[AIRIC]

He's responding to another post...

[Flagjacket]

I know, but him saying that his friend drinks with pride and collects records has no bearing on whether or not his story is true.

[AIRIC]

Yes it does. He's explaining how this guy isn't a friend that he's tight with, he's a friend who is in the "music business" and would know these types of things.

[Jessizzle]

yo im sooo down to go to this show.

This man can not be trusted.

But yea, HR is pretty ****ed up.

nah, but considering it seems to be a festival kinda thing, more info should come out closer to the actual date.

Most musically gifted people are twisted - His vocal style is genius!
