Bad Brains opening for N.E.R.D. in Chicago - 9/2/08 (pic by Ryan Mitchell)
Bad Brains

"I just saw the Bad brains @ the house of Blues this past Tuesday. dude! the crowd was about 99.5 percent there for N.E.R.D. I was like one of the only people showing love to the band. HR was a mess. He had on a bath robe over a suit with a motor cycle helmet on. you couldn't even sing along with him, he was singing off tempo and way to low. It was bad. I was gonna show my son a legend, i ended up letting him see the 1982 DVD to make up for that crap." [CAT]
Looks like HR got a new helmet.

HR plays a solo show on a Rocks Off boat in NYC tonight (Sep 8). Updated Bad Brains dates below...

wait, so you mean someone's performance might change over the course of 25 years?

HR is off his rocker!!! I saw him at the last CBGB's gigs and i should have thrown my money in the street.

Dude, I saw the Bad Brains in 86' and they were already past their peak. HR was not having it. I saw them again about 13 years later and it was the same thing. But with less antagonism. If you wanted to see them at their best, you need a fucking time machine.
