Bad Brains - Banned In D.C. download

This one takes an unexpectedly melodic turn.

absolutely the most amazing and original HC band ever. Miss the old H.R.

Mainstream hard rock/metal elitists are some of the most pompous, obnoxious & close-minded people who don’t know what they’re missing with punk rock. It’s nice to get away from them on punk vids like this and my god, that solo is sick! One of my favorites along with Nirvana’s “Blew”.

When punk really was. ..

Bad Brains, Minor Threat, The Clash, Dead Kennedys,... those Bands are so freaking amazing. Punk has that feeling that no other genre got

Best punk solo in history. only bad brains got that level of technique.

I bet you Hillary is listening to this on a loop.

Banned in D.C. with a thousand more places to go Gonna swim across the Atlantic, cause that's the only place I can go You, you can't hurt me Why? I'm banned in D.C D.C We, we got ourselves Gonna sing it, gonna love it, gonna work it out to any length Don't worry, no worry, about what people say We got ourselves, we gonna make it anyway You, you can't hurt me Why? I'm banned in D.C D.C., D.C And if you ban us from your clubs It's the right time, the right mind And if you think we really care, you won't find in my mind No! You can't afford, to close your doors, so soon no more My, oh my I'll let you down upon the ground, so soon no more No! You can't afford to close your doors, so soon no more My, oh my I'll let you down upon the ground

First bad brains song I've ever listened too, and I'm so glad it wasn't the last.

Bad Brains brought me here.

Don't let go of your youth

In a 2007 interview in Pitchfork magazine, bass player, Darryl Jenifer said it was a myth that Bad Brains were ever banned from playing in Washington D.C., their home town. Darryl Jenifer said the band got kicked out of ONE fraternity party, but they were able to play in any D.C. club that booked hardcore punk bands or anywhere else in D.C. that wanted a hardcore punk band. Can you imagine the look on those frat boys faces when Bad Brains started playing and the punks started slam dancing in a mosh pit. I wish I was there.

This has to be my favorite song ever. The transition between the second act of the song is so beautiful. I would kill to hear the guitar solo live and live in the moment.
