Bad Brains – Into The Future, 2012 CD Megaforce Records – MEGA 2121 I & I survived the 80s thanks to the Bad Brains, one eternal member of the Eternal Zer Top Three. The time machine strikes again. The Bad Brains Euro tour of 1989 was a life changing experience for my young self, and to make a long love story short, I may not have the same wife and children today if it wasn’t for this ancient heavenly trip to Switzerland. Yes, you can see my reflect on the bad photo of the poster of the Fribourg show, I suppose it fits the purpose. Like for Victims Family, as a tribute to the legend I’m posting everything I have, CDs and LPs. There is too much nostalgia in these vinyls, could not not play them again. Bad Brains, master emperors of hardcore punk, music supremacists, giants of the riff, Black Sabbath of the fast and furious. HR Tapes 84-86 is a compilation of early recordings of the singer’s side project. Stealth is the band of the bass player during one of the numerous Bad Brains breakups. Both albums sound like first class triple zer Bad Brains. The new album Into The Future is a return to greatness, much better than Build A Nation. Buy this addictive album. Eternal life to the Bad Brains. Bad Brains forever in the whole Universe. NB about Live at the Marquee LP: when you see this picture for this live bootleg
on other blogs, it is very likely they borrowed the first mp3 rip I made in 2008. I had made the yellow cover for my CDR version (from which these first mp3s originated). The yellow image was made from the back of the LP sleeve, today’s black & white pic is the real LP front cover. I had printed this home-made CD sleeve on yellow paper, thus the yellow pic found on various internets. But it is not a physical release you can find (as opposed to the original LP), there is only one such copy and it is on my shelves. The FLAC version posted today is a brand new rip from the LP (not from the CDR) and is of much better quality (better turntable, better processing than in 2008 – and FLAC). Jah. |

Related zerness: HR – Tapes ’84-’86 (It’s About Luv + Keep Out Of Reach), 1988 Stealth – Zero To Mach 7, 1998 Never Give In – A Tribute To The Bad Brains, 1999 You saw it coming. After Henry Rollins’ Bad Brains stories, I had to post some Bad Brains records, the best band in the world. Also, this post kicks out the Protector post from the front page, it HAD to be with something with CULT CLASSIC status. BAD BRAINS! I already mentioned the ETERNAL ZER TOP 10 in which Eisenvater, C.C.M., Rose Rose, The Accüsed and Acid Bath hold unmovable seats. Bad Brains is there too, above the previously cited. To me Bad Brains is the combined greatness of Black Sabbath and Motörhead in the hardcore punk rock department, they invented the whole thing, they released the best records and they are gods. That’s it. My favorite albums? Probably “Rock For Light” and “Quickness”, but actually everything up to and including the masterpiece “Rise”. “Rise” is to Bad Brains what “Curse” is to the Accüsed, an amazing comeback with another singer that does as well as the original. Saw them 3 times on the Rise tour with Israel on vocals and it was as mesmerizing as the 3 shows we attended on the 1989 Quickness tour (when I proposed to my wife! Zer! Fucking flabbergasting Zürich show! NOSTALGIAAAAAAAAAAA!). Notes: – I tagged the 1991 reissue of “Rock For Light” as “the dumb remix” because the songs order changed, there is way to much reverb on the vocals to my liking and I always had the feeling some parts had been accelerated. Listen and compare. – the tribute CD posted here is pretty good, however the best Bad Brains covers I heard are not on this disc. Check out the incredible rendition of “We Will Not” by crossover kings Blunt Force Trauma. Other great covers by Sepultura, Cro-Mags, Living Colour, Kazjurol and a billion others. Don’t forget the German cover versions by Kein Hass Da (ex Militant Mothers, the German Bad Brains). You might also be interested in the excellent Japanese Bad Brains: Fearless Vampire Killers. Mega zer. And don’t use this Bad Brains orgy as an excuse to smoke a joint because drugs are bad, long live the war on drugs! CD rip except vinyl rip of Pay To Cum 7″ (tagged) Live At Iguanas 7″: Live At The Marquee: Black Dots: + tapes & VHS rips where indicated and I was too lazy to tag, anyway you know all the songs. Each song is a classic. Know your classics. |
