Bad Brains have posted an update on their upcoming documentary. The legendary hardcore group is in post-production for the film which is being directed by Mandy Stein and Ben Logan and traces the history of the band from their formation in Washington, D.C. in 1979 to the present day.

The film promises interviews with all four founding members, as well as comments from Henry Rollins, Minor Threat/Fugazi vocalist Ian MacKaye, ex-Minor Threat guitarist Lyle Preslar, ex-Cro-Mags vocalist Jon Joseph and guitarist Harley Flanagan, Murphy's Law guitarist Jimmy Gestapo and Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch, who produced the 2007 album, Build a Nation.

I don't see what this has to do with Bruce Springsteen

Seth_Uber_Alles (February 4, 2009)

Apparently Lux Interior, singer of The Cramps died over the weekend. That sucks.

baldsteve (February 4, 2009)

Dante3000 (rich) (February 4, 2009)

Yurp.
No real details but it's confirmed.

baldsteve (February 4, 2009)

joeg (February 4, 2009)

MN_punkmaster-skaman (February 4, 2009)

cramps were fucking amazing

Jimmy G is not a guitarist, he is most definitely a singer, probably one of the most engaging front men I've ever seen at that.

SkolarX (February 5, 2009)

terrible singer, incredible front man. he should really think about just doing stand up

nocigar (February 4, 2009)

badbrain is stoked.

as am i.

badbrain (February 6, 2009)

I've actually never heard of these guys, it's cool that a band decided to preemptively name themselves after my internet moniker though. I am flattered

Dante3000 (rich) (February 4, 2009)

Something about homophobia and Jah.

Sounds lame. I hate glory days bullshit and seeing dudes in old famous bands being interviewed and being like "they were so great and influential." Already seen it a million times before. Pass the tartar sauce, I CAN'T CUM.

nocigar (February 4, 2009)

shhh

King_Rodney (February 4, 2009)

"glory days". Kinda like...Bruce Springsteen!!!!

garebear27 (February 4, 2009)

ewww

King_Rodney (February 4, 2009)

Well, that's gay.

garebear27 (February 4, 2009)

I laughed

MattRamone (February 4, 2009)

This is their fuckin' deli tray!

garebear27 (February 4, 2009)

I wonder if HR will ever regrow his balls and sing properly

baldsteve (February 4, 2009)

I would trade him for lux interior

garebear27 (February 4, 2009)

yeah definitely.
Or a time machine for seeing bad brains in the 80's

baldsteve (February 4, 2009)

yep. Old bad brains is amazing. New bad brains is embarrassing

joeg (February 4, 2009)

New bad brains minus HR is still pretty fucking great. Those dudes may have lost a step over the years but it's hard to tell. They can still tear through all the classics.

android (February 4, 2009)

"Such good lyrics, it's so sad
Could have taken up a stand
Been the most important band!"

MattRamone (February 4, 2009)

Pay to come on my dong?

MARKO630 (February 4, 2009)

I'm going to watch this with a motorcycle helmet on the entire time, then read the bible.

DrewXFishy (February 4, 2009)
