- "Bring the Noise" is a collaborative song by the American hip-hop group Public Enemy and the American thrash metal band Anthrax. It was originally released in 1991 as a single and later included on both Public Enemy's album "Apocalypse 91...The Enemy Strikes Black" and Anthrax's album "Attack of the Killer B's."
The collaboration between Public Enemy and Anthrax on "Bring the Noise" was groundbreaking at the time, as it merged the genres of rap and heavy metal. The song features the aggressive and politically charged lyrics of Public Enemy's lead rapper, Chuck D, combined with the intense guitar riffs and heavy drumming of Anthrax.
"Bring the Noise" became a significant crossover hit, attracting both hip-hop and rock fans. It showcased the power of collaboration between different musical styles and helped pave the way for future collaborations between artists from diverse genres. The song remains popular and influential, often cited as a classic example of the fusion between rap and metal.
Scott Ian, Anthrax's rhythm guitarist was a big fan of PE before they made this mashup. He was always wearing PE shirts on stage at their concerts and in interviews. PE returned the favor by name dropping Anthrax in their original recording of this song. Bringing the two groups together was destiny.
Run DMC/Aerosmith was a rap group coving a rock song.... THIS was a (frankly) White Metal band covering the most MILITANT black group of the time, and the respect flowed both ways. THAT is a moment! 💯
Yeah but the singer Joey is real dark skinned 😝 Anthrax is one of the Big 4 thrash bands (with Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer). And I love all the anti-racist lyrics. I mean the ones about Elvis and JW. This hardcore song: JW Was A N^z; ruclips.net/video/SoyusTUFdl0/видео.html Haha I'm so about #FreeSpeech these days
I've seen Aerosmith and RUN DMC perform it together. I have tickets to Aerosmith's farewell show this fall.
@@mattjohn4731 Didn't Chuck D apologise for those lyrics about elvis being racist?
He said he had been misinformed and regretted it.
He wasn't wrong about john Wayne though. 😂
@dimebagvision3221Yep. He even wore a PE shirt on stage.
Yes, later Chuck D said that he was wrong about Elvis, and actually that Elvis loved the black music culture and thought that the rest of the world needed to hear it like he hears it. Elvis injected black music into the contemporary rock/country mainstream music. For those who aren’t aware of his story, do some research on his views on black families and
social/cultural issues. It’s very enlightening.
Saw this tour...Public Enemy fans showed up to hear Public Enemy...Anthrax showed up to hear Anthrax...after full sets by both you had metal heads digging hip hop and hip hop heads digging metal...everybody getting along, buying beers...was a great time to be alive...
Still one of my favorite concerts ever. And pretty much both groups of fans started the night standing there watching Primus thinking WTF? Lol
Chuck D's voice is so iconic.....and Scott Ian's flow is commendable.
I had no idea that was Scott rapping until WAY later
The FIRST REAL Rap/Metal fusion! Scott Ian from Anthrax had been seen in Metal magazines for YEARS wearing Public Enemy t-shirts, and that set the scene. Us metal kids were PRIMED for this shit, when it hit! We WANTED to get our mind opened! 💯
No shit... I was writing conscious rock songs. And then THIS came out, and I realized that I had 32 bars that I could write to instead of 16 bars... and I started writing conscious rap lyrics for the next 15 years. 💯😎
THIS is the song that changed what I was able to say, as an artist! 💯
I was an old-school punk rock kid. This was punk rock as SHIT!!! Two bands that were never supposed to be together, that were cool since day one!
The original PE lyrics have a shot out to Anthrax, if you listen to the OG version of this song. 😎 Musical respect ALL AROUND!
I grew up as a punk/metal kid. Public Enemy rocked me when i first heard them. They were punk. they were metal. they had the same attitude i was looking for in music! smart, creative, intelligent and fuck the system! Chuck D will always be my fave MC!
RUN DMC always had metal guitars in their songs and even covered Walk This way by Aerosmith (not metal but still a rock song).
We loved this back in the day🤘it opened the door
32 years later, Anthrax still includes this song in their setlist......
Seen them play multiple times with both singers over the years.
Your viewers here in east side Detroit says Whazzup.
Take Care N' God Bless.
We dont know another, but what's up from Norhern Arizona. I mean no disrespect, just buzzed and happy we enjoy this from across the country.
Do more rock rap mashups. The Judgement night movie soundtrack was full of them.
For example…

Yeah man Onyx / Biohazard
Ice-T featuring Slayer 'Disorder'
The Onyx/Biohazard track is sick!
There's two other compilation albums, Take a Bite Outta Rhyme and Loud Rocks. Full of rock rap collaborations.
When they were TOGETHER on Tour it was Mindblowing......Public Enemy as Support.....all the Metalheads were outside the Hall.....Anthrax entered the Stage and all Hip Hopers left the Hall......and then ..... THIS Song came up.....and we were ALL united in front of the Stage.....these LEGENDS broke Barriers forever !Greatings from Germany!
This song opened doors for fans of Metal and Hip Hop to find common ground and mutual respect. When this song dropped, it wasn't uncommon for fans of one genre to feel diametrically opposed to the other genre. They would see the other as just simply noise. All the while , the mainstream had them both written off as talentless noise. So it would seem only logical that both of these juggernauts of the New York Underground would band together to show that they weren't afraid to speak truth to power in a way that was honest and stayed true to both genres. Any art that challenges your world view should always be held in the highest regard because it plants seeds of empathy and understanding which allows humanity to grow and improve as a whole.
What I love about this track is the fact that Antrhax was so excited to be playing with Public Enemy that they basically went out of their way to make sure that EVERYONE was happy with the recording, the concerts, the tour dates as well as royalties. They could have easily "sampled" PE, but they WANTED to do it in person so bad that they refused SEVERAL offers by PE's camp to "just sample it".
You will find a couple of GREAT (Completely UNDER-RATED AND UNDER-APPRECIATED) Rap/Metal tracks on the Judgement Night soundtrack.
They toured together. Anthrax is my Fav band. Went to see them on the tour with Public Enemy. Had no idea what to expect. Getting 2 totally opposite genres and totally different fans together. It was an amazing show. We all came together as fans of music. Us Metalheads pretty much do not like rap, but it didnt matter that night. Great fans, great show and a great night.
Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, And Run DMC is what made me fall in Love With HipHop back in the Mid 80’s. Still love it All. Terminator X is one of my favorite MixMaster/Dj’s
I saw Anthrax last year, of course, they did this song. They still rock!
They happen to have a DJ? This is my fav Anthrax song so far
@@mattjohn4731 They did not have a DJ. They rocked!
Anthrax is very underrated even in metal music. Amazing drummer
Ummmm..... underrated? They are considered one of the big 4 metal bands
No.....their part of the Big 4
Lol yes I understand that. But for the majority of their career they didn’t stack up in album, sales, popularity ,etc. to the other three big four even though I would argue recently they’ve made the best albums of the four bands, but yet when they do the big four concert. They are the opening act, so yeah, they are part of the four , they are number four, they’re considered by everybody to be number four and for most of their career their album sales reflected that which in my mind makes them underrated even as a member of the big four. Obviously real metalheads know who they are. I just mean in the grand scheme of things they are the most underrated of the big four, and are just underrated in general.
Apparently Chuck D was reluctant to re-record his own song at first. But then he heard the track Anthrax had made and he was all in. And history was made.
And what's great is that it doesn't compromise on either end. Both the metal and the rap go hard AF.
This is, imho, harder than most metal. It's thrash, death metal, speed metal. Informed by hardcore punk and combined with hip-hop. And Anthrax could rap, too. Anyone know the Jerky Boys? Prank call comedy records from NYC. When I heard them I thought of Anthrax!
I heard Scott Ian interview him and he couldnt make the session, so they used the original version vocals on this track. I never suspected it
That song stomps on your neck and don't let up. Great collaboration between Anthrax and Public Enemy.
This is a big reason that Anthrax, for me, is the most relevant of the Big 4 thrash groups. They were the only ones of those thrash groups that were consistently promoting Black bands, wearing Fishbone and PE shirts in videos, and taking bands like LIving Colour and Kings X on tour. And of course, they took PE on a co-headline tour in 1991. Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer could never.
NYC breeds 'em different! There was always a lot more interaction between scenes in New York than San Fran and LA.
One of the best shows i ever been to was Anthrax at The House of Blues in Hollywood. Loved Anthrax growing up thanks to my older Hard Rock, Metal brother. Ive been hearing and loving from ACDC to Dice's stand ups since i was at least 8 or 9.
Heard Doug Stanhope stand-up? There's a tongue-twister. He's often shocking. David Cross, Graham Elwood, Tom Green, Maria Bamford, Brian Posehn and the late Bill Hicks are good edgy ones, imo
Without this song whole bands wouldn't have existed.
Flava Flav actually is a really gifted drummer - there of some videos out there of him playing live.
I forget if he was a music student in college. He was involved with college radio I think, and met Chuck. Or...somethin
Came here to say this. Saw a video a few years ago of him playing drums and I was blown away
Flavor played the live drums on “Know The Ledge” by Eric B & Rakim
It brings joy to my heart to see black folk enjoying metal,…metal is for everyone, as a metal musician I am moved🥹
As a metal head at the time- this was awesome! Rock and metal should always go together! We are the rebellious genres. The misunderstood folks.
Back in '91, when this song came out, I thought it was one of the heaviest, coolest things I'd ever heard. I instantly learned all the words to it. What Run DMC started, with the collaboration Aerosmith, took the next logical evolution with this song. It ushered in a whole new genre of music with nu metal. It took the stigma off that people tend to hold that you can "only listen to" one type of music or the other. It proved that music and respect really have no boundaries. Other bands have proven their respect to the ones that paved the way like Korn covering Fight the Power with Xzibit (Korn also covered Ice Cube's song Wicked) and even Brazilian thrash band Sepultura covering Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos. That song is unique in that the middle of the song is rapped in Portuguese. I believe this song took hip hop out of the states and made it a worldwide phenomenon. Great reaction guys.
This is how we come together !!! Music , food , fighting to better ourselves !!!! This song after 30 years is amazing !!!!
I grew up during this time. Such a amazing time for music.
I loved Both at the time of this happening so it a was crazy feeling
The song includes several shout-outs to fellow hip hop artists like Run-D.M.C., Eric B, LL Cool J and, unusually for a rap group, Yoko Ono, Sonny Bono and thrash metal band Anthrax, allegedly because Chuck D was flattered about Scott Ian wearing Public Enemy shirts while performing Anthrax gigs.
NYC's own Yoko Ono. I don't recommend her vocals, but I think she's a good peace activist and artist. Yoko and John's son Sean Lennon is a cool psych rocker. He plays with Les Claypool and others. Also based in NYC (Sean, not Les)
I love rap and rock fusions! We need more!!!❤❤❤❤
Nice. This has been my ring tone for about a decade.
Dope
This is a classic...loved this when it came out. My worlds joined 😂🎉
I never tire of this colab!
One of my favourite collaboration tracks between Rap & Metal. Another few i really like are Faith No More & Boo-Ya Tribe - Another Body Murder, Helmet & House of Pain - Just Another Victim and Mudhoney & Sir Mix-A-Lot - Freak Momma.
When i first heard this was happening the metal snob in teenage me couldn't handle it, then i heard it in a club, loved it! The energy of both bands is incredible, this paved the way for more acceptance of both genres, i was wrong at first and I'm glad i was, classic track!
I really love when songs cross genres and get crazy.
Flava Flav plays multiple instruments from drums to piano. He’s super talented.
This is the best reaction video for this song I have seen. You have my sub.
PS: That outro is the shit!
This song introduced me to PE. I have thanked Anthrax ever since. They taught us that it was ok to love rap and metal.
i don't know how anyone doesn't feel this collab that vibe is so electric and if this guys went on tour holy hotness and hearing scott ian rapping is pretty cool too damn that is even more fire than before and very powerful thought provoking
I remember seeing that video when I was 7 years old and couldn't believe what I was hearing! It was the MEANEST, GNARLIEST, GREATEST song I had ever heard at that time! Sounds just as awesome today as it did then!
I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, a white kid, one of the only PE fans. Chuck is one of my idols and one of the emcees who made me want to get into rap/hip hop.
My band did a cover of this at my high school's talent show. The other kids in the band were from my neighborhood. I went to a Catholic prepatory school and my bandmates did not. Oddly enough the teachers loved it, but the other students did not.
Since then, I've actually met Anthrax and Public Enemy, separately, and they were lovely guys.
Flavor Flav can actually play a few instruments very well.
One of the Best Mash ups . I am Old School Punk/Hardcore dude but the very 1st time I heard Public Enemy I loved them with their F Authority stand point !!
I am fans of both, and I remember seeing this video on the Headbangers Ball on MTV … it was and still is the best Hip Hop and Metal/rock combo…ever!!!
This is part of how we come together!!! Find common ground, food , music , struggles , love !!!!
Really cool.metal,rap cool bands cool performance. Was nice job
Perfect teamup. These 2 bands have a lot of love for each other. I was lucky enough to have caught it in 91.
i was in 6th grade in 88 when this came out..love it and grew up on P.E and metal
I got into punk and metal early on; I grew up poor and angry, and it spoke to me. When I heard PE, i heard the same anger and energy and I was in. This collab was inevitable and meant to be; so many fans of metal/rock and rap/hip hop jumped the fence and found more angry and intelligent music to vibe to.
Great song two great groups.
I saw them together live on this tour. Primus opened.
Onyx is another group that had the energy/rage that fuses well with rock/metal. New World Disorder and Judgement Night are 2 good crossover songs they did with Biohazard.
Ice Tea put out Body Count
Still let the neighbours here it belting out from my shed. I'm 53 and still pump up with the great tunes of my fitter years and love how younger people hear and want to know more.
The thing I find very interesting about this I have had this version since Attack of the Killer B's came out in 1991 the lead singer of Anthrax at the time was Joey Belladonna but on this song the singer was Scott Ian normally the lead guitarist.
Chuck D has said many times that touring with Anthrax really made them up their game for live shows he has said that in the begining Antrax was just crushing it but by the end of the tour the energy had kind of leveled out but they learned many things about performing live from Anthrax
I remember hearing Public Enemy for the first time, it was like someone rang a bell, school was definitely in session. D has one of the best rap voices, it's got authority.
Nobody was ready for this when it came out. I thought it was fire.
Chuck D was from Flushing Queens and members of Anthrax including Scott Ian grew up one neighborhood away in Bayside Queens. Greatness was in the water there
It shows that we all can get along 1991 I remember when it was released. People are not the problem, it's the government that doesn't want us to be able to function and get along peace
The Judgement Night soundtrack was sick, all Rock/Rap collabs. Some awesome stuff there
Chuck D has one of the most powerful voices in Rap!!
When this come out it was so much fun. Both icons coming together to do it right.
Great reaction thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Music brings people together and the media divides us . I used to listen to this all the time high school years .great collaboration
I always thought of Public Enemey as a heavy, loud rap band, and no one really came close to how heavy they were besides the metal bands, and coming together with Anthrax was perfect, bunch of dudes from NYC, and I am pretty sure a few of them went to school together, and they came together on this and knocked it out of the park.
I was into public enemy as a kid even before before ending up in punk music for most my life. Politics belongs in music.
always loved this
I Saw the last night of the tour featuring both of these legendary groups. Still one of the best shows I've ever seen
I remember this song so well. Everyone loved when Anthrax and Public Enemy got together on this Bangger! This song brought everyone together.👍👍👍
New sub. Thank you for the solid content and for the solid message. Much respect. Keep up the good work. The world definitely needs it.
When PE's Apocalypse 91 album came out, this was the very last track on the album; when this came on, I stared at my Walkman like somebody kicked me in my temple...lol. Caught me off guard...but quickly became one of my favorite tracks.
It is a dope track
Great tune, saw it live!!!
Moby & Public Enemy - "Make Love Fuck War" is another great fusion tune.
That second verse hits so f hard
Anthrax has always dabbled in hip hop, they covered bring the noise live and public enemy dug it and they got together and recorded this version
They really created something special ❤
That's a great genre merge 🫵😎👍 I'm 62 years old white dude I'm in the rock and heavy metal and today I bought a gangsta wrapper t-shirt I saw that ACDC shirt music brings people together
I Deen them tour together years ago in Boston with Primus and Young Black Teenagers.
Public Enemy's " He got game " was pretty smooth
I was in that moshpit. A teacher's aid at my school was a cousin of Flava as well as dating my weed dealer, lol. A 35 yr old rasta.
I smoked a blunt with Flav thanks to her and got invited to the shoot because i had an Anthrax t-shirt on. Lol.
Those were THE days.
When Public Enemy and Anthrax went on tour in the mid 90s, Anthrax's drummer Charlie Benante said that, after every show, Flavor Flav would spend hours bashing around on his drum kit until the roadies had to take it away. ^_^
Watched PE in concert 1987 Brixton Academy, London.
They were phenomenal!
I’ll never forget that concert. 🔥🔥🔥
It was out of the mold of Aerosmith and Run DMC collaborating, but this always felt more organic to me. It was more like two bands just jamming because they dug each other's style. Different genres, but Chuck D and PE, Scott Ian and Anthrax, were New Yorkers who were all smart, well read, and brought that intelligence in your face with aggressiveness.
I remember when this came out in high school... It was good then and nothing's changed.
Classic
Saw this concert back in '92 or '93, Anthrax and Public Enemy at Assembly Hall in Champaign. I was a huge fan of both and it was one of the best concerts I've even been too. There were a bunch of fans from both groups that never really heard the other except for this song, and by the end of the show everyone was jamming out.
As a metal head growing up in the projects I loved hip hop this was my favorite song when I started my first heavy metal band..I was mad I didn't make it happen first lol!! Love it!!
They all looked liked they were having an absolute blast shooting that video. I remember when MTV had almost nothing but music videos on
That moonwalk from Scott is so f*g fiery))) 4:05
I love this because it was in a time where music expected you to stay in your lane. Both these bands loved each other and didnt care
Hear the drummer get wicked!
I miss it so much. Back when music scared power
I love that you compared Public Enemy to punk. Punk rock and rap has a common element in that both have there origins in being subversive and against the establishment. The music is different, but they also reconcile in way.
This was the genesis of rap/metal fusion that includedd groups like Body Count and Bionic Jive.
I have always loved both these bands cause they spoke their minds in the music. If ya don't like it leave lol.
This off the hook chain dope as F*ck jam Much respect to Public Enemy and Anthrax, saw both groups on bring the noise tour crazy dope shit off the hook
A classic cross over... Is why i love music
Both sides fighting the power and united it all in this song!🤘
There was a movie called Judgment Night and the whole sound track was fusion between hip hop and metal or rock- so amazing! gotta check it out!
Scott Ian (rhythm guitar), Frank Bello (bass), and Charlie Benante (drummer) were definitely all huge metal fans. Anthrax did a rap song on their own before this, called I'm The Man, that was written to be like Beastie Boys and was supposed to feature them on it. It didn't work out. Charlie, the drummer, writes all of Anthrax music, and he listens to everything for inspiration. Whether it is rap or music his teenage daughter listens to like Billie Eilish. As for this recording, Charlie wrote the music and Anthrax recorded it, and they tried to get Public Enemy in to record vocals again, but the schedule didn't work out. They had to use the vocal track from the original Public Enemy version and match it to Anthrax's music track. Anthrax also showed Public Enemy how to do lighting for concerts. Chuck D said they hadn't been shown that before, and after they saw Anthrax play the first night on their coheadlining tour, he realized they needed to learn, and fast. He had a spare person, a utility guy, and Anthrax had him shadow their lighting guy, and he learned how Anthrax incorporated everything into a full performance. Chuck D loved how much Anthrax just wanted the whole show to be great from beginning to end and be a success. Chuck D has shown up at Anthrax shows to perform this, and when Public Enemy was indicated into Hip Hop Hall Of Fame, Scott Ian and Charlie showed up and played this song with them.
Fire then, fire now 32 years later.
This is the real reason hip hop/ rap influenced metal exists
Man this is what I grew up with!
Great review. This track be dope.
Both Anthrax and Public Enemy were at Def Jam recordings record label.
I remember back in the 90s there where a lot of mashups. Worth checking out the soundtrack of the 'Judgment Night' film.
