I'm a Gen-Xer from the DC-region, and I can definitely attest to the fact that they are totally appreciated for their contributions to the local/regional music scene from the late '70s onwards
+pitkane100 lol crazy how black people literally go and invent pretty much every modern genre and then get snubbed by the majority of the white population...seems like hip hop and jazz are the only genres they get their proper credit for
Been a fan for life. Had the pleasure of opening for h.r. with dubb agents in Poughkeepsie December 2015. A very humble man that was actually interested in all the supporting acts and the meanings behind their songs. I had lost one of my best friends two days before the show and had considered not playing at all. H.r. shared some wisdom and a good cry with me and helped me grieve and express my grief too.
Me and my dad used to always listen to Bad Brains, Sublime, and Bob Marley. We may not always get along. But at least we both have an incredible taste in music.
What is so great about the internet is you can discover new artists and old artists you missed over the years. I've been a huge Beastie Boys fan since I first heard Licensed to Ill in the mid 1980's, and heard the Beastie Boys mention Bad Brains before (Michael Diamond and Adam Yauch met at a Bad Brains concert in late 1980. ), but I never looked them up until today....so here I am listening to Bad Brains for the first time! Sorry I am so late to the party! Great tune. Time for me to check out the rest!
the earlier records are the best ones, full of adrenaline and high speed. later they got more into the reggae stuff and oddly enough, metal. Love them anyways, everything they made till the 90s was gold.
I’ve enjoyed the Bad Brains forever with HR and Earl Hudson, but when this came out with Israel and Mackie, this definitely didn’t suck and it actually became my favorite Bad Brains album. Almost 28 years later, I still enjoy it just the same.
I saw them at the Palladium in Los Angeles when they toured for Rise.. They were just great live. Had the drummer from the Cro-mags too. That guy is good man.
What an awesome, energetic song, with powerful guitar leads and drum beats . .. time has truly come, my friends, to wake up and rise ... together, collectively as one ... for a new way of living and be-ing ... 💡💗🌻🙌
Every die hard Bad Brains fan dislikes this because H.R. is NOT the singer, Israel Joseph I is. Israel Joseph I kills the lead vocals here completely. After I heard this I was like H.R. Who? Blasphemy maybe but Israel just kills it here. What a beast on lead vocals. And Mackie Jayson, former Cro-Mags drummer beats the snot out if his drums but never loses the beat once in the process either. A coiled viper beast. And I remember everyone kept saying the Grunge movement heralded the end of the guitar solo, and yet, Dr. Know just shredded the fuck out of a rather dangerous guitar solo on this track, speaking of beasts. Blasphemy to the purists, maybe, but those of us who love music and love Bad Brains music love the fuck out of Rise. This song was the biggest reason for that. Even 25 years after its release in 1993, it still sounds like a monster in 2018. This track never gets old. Ever. Not for me anyway.
Nice response... this song straight jams! No one can be who they aren't. Fans shouldn't compare or expect any artist to stand still, not move on, or evolve as artists. No artist is obligated to anyone but their art. Bad brains had to move forward. We are fortunate they choose to keep on keeping on. I love HR.... since I saw him solo in 1986. Saw orginal bad brains 1988. Later bad brains with Mackie ( brilliant) with the old lead singer of faith no more. Your comments inspired me express gratitude and blessings for the bad brains generosity of spirit. Don't lose sight of the mission statement PMA! Bad brains thanks for confronting bias, risking for the fight against the oppressors, and spiritual gangsterism wisdom of God! Haters, non believers, or those who think artists work for you.... it's not about you. Never was and never will be. Your delusions are the least of concerns for artists... it's your work.
I disagree. I love Bad Brains and everything they've written with and without H.R maybe dumbasses that don't realize there is a whole band making up Bad Brains might feel the way you say.
These guys were my first show, I against I tour with D.R.I opening, so after almost 30 years I listened to this album (the only one without HR singing), and it's not as bad as I thought it would be...
@@sangrantes7073 ah, bueno eso es verdad, pero aunque sean del underground, un pequeño aunque sea mínimo reconocimiento no estaría mal, digo, es solo una opinión, pero como dices quien quiera escucharlo que lo escuche nomás👍🏻
Bad Brains are a major inflience on all of Alt-Rock with how they combined hard and soft dynamics in a song and had a wide variety of dynamics and sounds, vibes in general from track to track
Did you ever question any of the things they taught you while you were at school And did you ever question oh my teacher why do you take me for a fool? Rise up, you got to rise Rise up, wake up and rise When you're all alone you'll search for love but they'll have none this is the seed that they have sewn don't be afraid a better place has yet to come and when they won't teach or reach or feed you and all they do is leave you deceive you be true to yourself and save your mind lesson for the young so now let's fly away into the light of a brand new sun the time has come Rise up, you got to rise Rise up, wake up and rise We'll meditate communicate, escalate don't be late, we just can't wait to liberate this human race Go! Rise up, you got to rise Rise up, wake up and rise Don't let them don't let them take away your culture Don't let them Don't let them take away your future Rise up, you got to rise
I have never before listened to Bad Brains. (An album cover caught my eye.) After picking this song out of the results and playing it for 4 seconds, I have all the info I need. Great riff, great groove, great tone... sold!
Have you checked out their other stuff yet? Their most well known music is more punk sounding with a different singer (HR). Check out ROIR Sessions, Rock for Light, I Against I, The Youth Are Getting Restless (a live album, which is how I got introduced to them).
doctor know in my opinion influenced a whole range of guitar players in alternative rock in the 90's and early 2000s because they play with that guitar style.
There is no one quite like HR. This guy tried to do him justice and pay homage, but HR is one of a kind. If i did not know about HR and ever here the original line up. Then this is a good song. How could anyone really live up to or replace HR?
Its still is.. what the fuck you even talk about XDD it always was fashion style, coz that FASHION STYLE was in LIFESTYLE. Like. You dumb as fuck, or fake as fuck.
As a person who grew up listening to the Bad Brains religuslly and that informed my spiritual journey, i will happily say Serj is the rightfil heir H.R.'s throne.
in my opinion this is one of bad brains best tunes, right up there with anything HR sang on. israel joseph i was excellent on this song and the album itself. meaningful, uplifting lyrics and blazing music to match. what's not to like? the youth (and adults!) of today need to listen to this music instead of allowing their personalities and futures to be shaped by this toxic world.
Rise was probably the most balanced, approachable album by BB. They've got heaps of crazier and interesting songs in their catalogue but Rise is the perfect introduction to this band.

Gee, that's a solid funk metal from the 90's. Bad Brains were way too ahead of their time. So underrated band.
crazy how different this song is that from the sound of their self titled albumm
Solid funk metal ? wtf
Omg bro- wake up - these guys invented punk rock
I'm a Gen-Xer from the DC-region, and I can definitely attest to the fact that they are totally appreciated for their contributions to the local/regional music scene from the late '70s onwards
Amazing band. There really should be a movie about Bad Brains. Such a huge influence on Rock music history. Watching from London UK.
No HR no brains
@@TaintedSaint79 bad brains is bad brains, don't matter who's the lead singer they are still good
There is a documentary

@@velikanx3967 Bullshit.
There is it is called Finding Joseph I
Why aren’t these guys more famous . I mean in the punk scene they are legends but they deserve more mainstream success
Underground punk is punk at its best! Keep it like this and the real punk lover will find them.
Either you know or you don't. Much better this way.
You think bankers/corporations want to promote artists that tell their audience to question everything and rise up?
Racism.
Mainstream success means nothing to them though other than financial gain.
Proud to be a black alternative
Alternative is lucky to have ya
Power to you man

Oh hell yeah!

The pioneers of hardcore still going strong 40 years from their formation
This album is not OG Bad Brains , No H.R. and no Earl Hudson, Or The Hudson Bros.
A fellow once said to me he didn't know any black rock singers / artists..
I still carry a scar on my cheek for facepalming so hard
***** You mean a black metal band or a metal band formed by black people?
+pitkane100 lol crazy how black people literally go and invent pretty much every modern genre and then get snubbed by the majority of the white population...seems like hip hop and jazz are the only genres they get their proper credit for

what about hendrix?
Kill me I unironically enjoy Rush What about him? Lol obviously a legend, he doesen't even need to be mentioned.

One of my all time favorite bands and to hear they are cool to boot is the icing on the cake
I remember the day we filmed this! It was a honor to be in it at the end when the kaos hits! What a day!
Who are these people ? that's not H.R and thats not their drummer
Definitely HR.@@fullmetalgrave
@@MB-vk8cv Not HR. This is Israel!

Check out Stuck Mojo.

Saw them as a teen in the 90's, I was a lucky kid.
I wish there were more black punk bands. Bad brains truly are unique.
the guitars are soooo good in this song.
Lucas Tilford have u listened to the bad brains
I’ve enjoyed the Bad Brains forever with HR and Earl Hudson, but when this came out with Israel and Mackie, this definitely didn’t suck and it actually became my favorite Bad Brains album. Almost 28 years later, I still enjoy it just the same.
Mackie also played on Quickness even tho it's Earl on the album cover
This song is so relevant even today
Bad brains the best punk,ska,reggae,metal band ever,talented isnt the word,hardcore for life
I saw them at the Palladium in Los Angeles when they toured for Rise.. They were just great live. Had the drummer from the Cro-mags too. That guy is good man.
It’s the ending that does it for me. Such ferocity and passion behind those lyrics and delivery.
These awesome dudes tryn to be the brothers... I give the all the credit in the world for trying the impossible! Blessed be the name of God
Israel deserves much respect on this one. I love brains. When bros quit a band, we get this beaut' of song.
What an awesome, energetic song, with powerful guitar leads and drum beats . .. time has truly come, my friends, to wake up and rise ... together, collectively as one ... for a new way of living and be-ing ... 💡💗🌻🙌
Much love from MD with this. I discovered Bad Brains while in high school during the late 2000s and they changed my life. RISE UP!!!
That album kicks ass just as much as anything they've done.Joseph and Mackie step up on that record.Great playing, great songs.

Both are dope, no need to say “H.R who?” though. I prefer Israel Joseph for the more grunge style and H.R for the more hardcore songs
I disagree. I love Bad Brains and everything they've written with and without H.R maybe dumbasses that don't realize there is a whole band making up Bad Brains might feel the way you say.
Yeah therefore this is not Bad Brains. This is like Dead Kennedys with no Jello. Haha
I remember liking Bad Brains, but being a metal/punk head I walked in both worlds, I loved this album and wasn't bothered by the lack of H.R.
Bad Brains é a melhor banda de hardcore!!!!
Haven't heard this in YEARS!!!! Takes you back indeed. :)
Gotta love that guitar solo from Bad Brains' lead guitarist. Long live Bad Brains \m/!
That guitarist being Dr. Know, his name obviously a reference to the old school James Bond bad guy Dr. No.
These guys were my first show, I against I tour with D.R.I opening, so after almost 30 years I listened to this album (the only one without HR singing), and it's not as bad as I thought it would be...
I know Bad Brains was a Hardcore Punk band, but this song was clearly when they crossed over into Metal. Because this song is very Metal
They did the crossover a bit earlier than this; I Against I has a lot of metal influence
Punk can't kill the Metal,
for it was Punk that gave Rise
to the Metal.
@@derpderpus6075 WHAT?
@@derpderpus6075 Actually Metal came before Punk.
This is like proto nu metal
This album never sold by the bucket load! As expected! And it was on a major label! There is simply no justice!
I'm 55 and still love the Brains,and HR. Seen HR graduated in 1986. Baddest Hardcore Band loved them and Suicidal Tendencies
So underrated
I loved this whole damn album.
Offt I’m in love! Was always listening to OSDM and thrash.. missed out over all these years!
Great jam. Love the vocals toward the start/middle. So metal.
Bad Brains enciende nuestras almas en unidad!!! Quema la basura!!! Abrazo desde Argentina!!!
Man these dudes were 20 years too early. They would be superstars today
OMG Bad Brains exist since 77, I discover this band only now, what a surprise !
Amazing voice !
Oh my. I didn't know they did a video to this song. I use to listen to this over and over when this album first came out. Jah rules!
Seriously a great song!!!and a great band!!!
Bad brains debería ser más conocido de lo que es ahora, que gran canción🎸🤔
Es mejor que no sea conocido comercialmente, porque siempre pertenieron al under. EL under se queda en casa y quien lo quiera escuchar que lo busque.
@@sangrantes7073 ah, bueno eso es verdad, pero aunque sean del underground, un pequeño aunque sea mínimo reconocimiento no estaría mal, digo, es solo una opinión, pero como dices quien quiera escucharlo que lo escuche nomás👍🏻
Bad Brains were years ahead of their time. RISE is apt to what's going on in the crazy world today. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
So hard to keep that pma right about now. Love you guys since the mid late 90s.
this is probably the source of inspiration that influenced the style of Jonathan Davis, or even Serj Tankian of SOAD...just my opininon
Bad Brains are a major inflience on all of Alt-Rock with how they combined hard and soft dynamics in a song and had a wide variety of dynamics and sounds, vibes in general from track to track
Monkey from KORN says, that Jonathan was heavy into reggae at their inception and pulled elements into his vocal style.
Deftones too listen to their album like linnus its all over it
@@pantera6543 More like Stole in ...
@@pantera6543 that makes a lot of sense
Did you ever question
any of the things
they taught you while you were at school
And did you ever question
oh my teacher
why do you take me for a fool?
Rise up, you got to rise
Rise up, wake up and rise
When you're all alone
you'll search for love
but they'll have none
this is the seed that they have sewn
don't be afraid a better place has yet to come
and when they won't teach or reach or feed you
and all they do is leave you deceive you
be true to yourself
and save your mind
lesson for the young
so now let's fly away
into the light of a brand new sun
the time has come
Rise up, you got to rise
Rise up, wake up and rise
We'll meditate communicate, escalate
don't be late, we just can't wait
to liberate this human race
Go!
Rise up, you got to rise
Rise up, wake up and rise
Don't let them
don't let them take away your culture
Don't let them
Don't let them take away your future
Rise up, you got to rise
So poetic. Thanks for the lyrics!
Thought they were gonna go off when he said "go" and got a guitar solo instead.

He sure did!
Word
I like to think of them as Living Colour and KoRn. Cause there’s a similar styles and sounds when it comes funk metal, nu-metal or alternative metal.
one of the best BB's song... rise up!
I'm proud to hear all these amazing black rock singers like liveing color fishbone bad brains 24-7 spyz and mothers finest
I love how so many of you don't realize that HR was not on this album

from the golden age of punk when it was an attitude and a lifestyle not a fashion style
The golden age was the 80s, grunge was the 90s
+OrganizedMessOffical there was way more than grunge in the 90s, there was also emocore, post hardcore, metallic hardcore and mathcore.
Psh, it was always a fashion for at least half.
XD yea
Its still is.. what the fuck you even talk about XDD it always was fashion style, coz that FASHION STYLE was in LIFESTYLE. Like. You dumb as fuck, or fake as fuck.
this track KICK OFF THE BOOTS EVEN THESE YEARS
Through the years...one of my favorite all time bands.
Mackie on the drums, one of the best in the game and he credits bad brains with that.
Masters of masters !!
Thank you, Bad Brains!
Love seeing people of color rocking out ! The guitarist has got some skills !
under-rated album
sounds like metal with a dash of reggae-rock vocals
As a person who grew up listening to the Bad Brains religuslly and that informed my spiritual journey, i will happily say Serj is the rightfil heir H.R.'s throne.
Saw them in Newcastle NSW still wicked as ever 🙏💓 from Australia
Very under rated BB album
Bad Brains, Bad ass, old school, Excellent song, excellent album
Rocking it hard with the true lyrics🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿
Obrigado, muita muita saudades...
Atitude e originalidade.
Rise up, you gotta rise!
love it so much
Thin!!! But how could I miss this group? it grooves, it's melodic and effective!
Now I see where Serj Tankian from System of a Down got some of his vocal style.
C M More like Jonathan Davis from Korn.
More like Justin Bieber
More like the vocalist pf disturbed .-.

Bad Brains GRUNGE!
Apparently I'm 27 years late for the party but I'm digging it just the same :)
The background they have in the music video reminds me of the background used in the music video "We Care A Lot" by Faith No More.
Excellent!! Absolutely fantastic!!
These guys Destroyed Barriers... Heavy Props.
BAD BRAINS ARE HARDCORE WITH SOUL***
I cant believe I never ever heard of this band.im so sorry me..
Never too late bro
Because they don't get any recognition and more promotion thats why. It unfair

This is great! Unique band, difficult to label.

a great song from 90‘s years!!!!

Holy sh#t these guys rock!! Can't believe I've just discovered them. This songs nice but got so many great tune's.
Awesome band! I never got to see them back in the early 80ies when I was listening to hardcore, always seemed to be broke when they were in town :(
Jonathan Davis took his style from Israel Joseph I.
