This probably sounds crazy, but until the American Hardcore movie came out I never liked Bad Brains. This is because I tried to get into them years ago, but got given the wrong record. To me, reggae is pretty much the worst form of music there is. I hate it. So years and years ago, when a friend taped me some Bad Brains, I was appalled by the reggae sounds I then found myself listening to. I have no idea what record or what songs were on that tape, but the majority seemed to be reggae, so I decided on the spot that I didn't like Bad Brains and left it there. But after watching the Bad Brains clips in the American Hardcore movie, I changed my mind. The songs and the atmosphere at the shows blew me away, so I decided to give them another chance. I downloaded the record with the iconic cover, and then didn't stop listening to it for about three weeks. This week I finally picked up a vinyl copy, which I found pretty cheap on eBay. Shame the seller turned out to be yet another retard without a clue how to pack records for the mail. The corners got bent up & I am pissed off.
I think the world is ready for a parody band called BAD BRIANS. Anyone out there called Brian - feel free to take this idea & run with it.
