This is understandable, as the Bad Brains themselves offered up a variety of sounds since forming in the late '70s (punk, hardcore, reggae, metal, funk, etc.), and in the process, penned some of rock's all-time great tunes (\"Pay to Cum,\" \"Sailin' On,\" \"Re-Ignition,\" \"Sacred Love\") and classic albums ('Bad Brains, ' 'Rock for Light, ' 'I Against I, ' 'Quickness'). But somehow, someway, the Bad Brains never managed to truly break through to the mainstream - while many of the bands they influenced (Beastie Boys, Living Colour, Nirvana) did. At last, there is a book that tells the story of the band, 'Punk  Hardcore  Reggae  PMA  Bad Brains ' Interviews include Charlie Benante (Anthrax), Max Cavalera (Soulfly\/ex-Sepultura), Chad Channing (Nirvana), Bobby Hackney (Death), Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed), Curt Kirkwood (Meat Puppets), Mitts (Madball), Keith Morris (Circle Jerks\/ex-Black Flag), Chuck Mosley (ex-Faith No More\/ex-Bad Brains), Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan), Travis Stever (Coheed and Cambria), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Tesco Vee (Meatmen), and Tim Williams (Vision of Disorder), among many others.
