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.

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.

That guitarist being Dr. Know, his name obviously a reference to the old school James Bond bad guy Dr. No.

So underrated

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.

Very under rated BB album

It’s the ending that does it for me. Such ferocity and passion behind those lyrics and delivery.

Mackie on the drums, one of the best in the game and he credits bad brains with that.

Seriously a great song!!!and a great band!!!

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!

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.

BAD BRAINS ARE HARDCORE WITH SOUL***

Great jam. Love the vocals toward the start/middle. So metal.

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

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).

Saw them as a teen in the 90's, I was a lucky kid.

Man these dudes were 20 years too early. They would be superstars today

Rise up, you gotta rise!

this track KICK OFF THE BOOTS EVEN THESE YEARS

OMG Bad Brains exist since 77, I discover this band only now, what a surprise ! Amazing voice !

Masters of masters !!

Apparently I'm 27 years late for the party but I'm digging it just the same :)

The riffs are so fucking good in this song.

Offt I’m in love! Was always listening to OSDM and thrash.. missed out over all these years!

I love HR but Israel Joseph I honestly kills it on vocals.

Atitude e originalidade.

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.

Another reason why the 90s kicked ass.

I agree, but you try convincing Dead Kennedy fans that the Dead Kennedy's are anything but a cover band without Jello Biafra. I can kind of see what they're driving at; Jello Biafra, like HR was a unique individual. But if these bands simply changed their names I'm sure they would be well regarded. I think this comes out of an inflated sense of brand loyalty. HR became incapable of performing. Does that mean Bad Brains should stop dead in it's tracks?

It's amusing to read comments about liking new band lineups from people who weren't even born yet to see the original bands live or the scene that inspired that bands to form. Henry Rollins moved on...and Keith Morris is doin OFF!...they are curren.. him along with most of the original members only do Flag as a part time deal... and they are much better than the full time touring Black Flag... Jello...he moved on as well...and is a legend for more than Dead Kennedys...HR retired...Bad Brains, like Dead Kennedys...is simply a shell of what they once were.
