What exactly DID happen to H.R. , frontman of the legendary Bad Brains? Poor dude seems to have gone completely off the deep end :?

Seems like a combination of years of drug use and perhaps mild schizophrenia... I can't help but feel bad for him, he was such a great frontman in the early days of Bad Brains. Poor guy

$@!& outta here, HR is still an awesome dude. He's always been on another #$@*&!% planet from the rest of us. I have a couple of awesome HR stories, ANYONE who has ever been around the guy has, but I had the oppurtunity to open up for Soul Brains a decade or so ago and it was mind altering.

Well by all accounts he wasn't always so.... out there.... I'm not denying that the man's a f***ing legend, but there poor guy clearly isn't 100% anymore. Also, apparently he didn't always have the accent...


Regardless, Sailin On is one of my favorite songs ever. Bad Brains f***ing rock

Oh and please do share any stories you have of him, I'd ove to hear about him 8)

He's not dead or anything, the Brains have two documentaries coming out and the last I heard they were playing a few festival dates.

Sounds like the guy started out right from square one,with an Alice in wonderland kind of insanity. It just appears to have manifested over time into what we see now. He's not nuts, just crazy like a fox (SING MON) :wink: $$

Years of heavy marijuana use has led to abuse, this proves marijuana does have some negative side effects, BTW that accent is fake so hes officially outta his mind. Heres the real HR: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXqF1_cb ... re=related
