I don't know. This is a bit too Who vs. Led Zepplin.

As mentioned there is stuff Fishbone waxes everybody in. I will say I saw Living Colour recently and they were off the chain, for real. Those cats have gotten even tighter over time.

I love freakin' Bad Brains too but I haven't seen their show. Uh oh, fan attack:

Me with HR at his solo show with the Dub Agents.
Sorry I'm taking both sides...

I saw HR in His solo incarnation of Human Rights. I have seen Bad Brains with I Joseph I cat and with HR. I have seen Fishbone with Angelo and I have to say the Fish bone show was just as dope albeit both groups were beyond their prime.

haha - you dig me? battles i'd like to see would be like ("dingdingding"): [krs one vs tribe called quest] or [fela kuti vs orchestra baobab] or [hector lavoe vs celia cruz] or [steel pulse vs burning spear] or [los muñequitos de matanzas vs afrocuba] or [ile aye vs olodum] - but i'm nerdy with music like that, D.

i really enjoyed chiming on behalf of my beloved bad brains, though. they really gave me a group to stand by & be proud of when i was a kid. i used to wrestle with their rastology (sheba, yout', i against i, coptic, etc) in the pre internet days when you had to find somebody that knew obscure, unprinted things instead of googling it. i saw bad brains at irving plaza in nyc a few years back & HR began the set with "this is peace and love music". my man.

Bad Brains just can't be touched or faded. I enjoy me some Livin Colour , I saw them on a recent tour in 2008 and they brought the house down. Vernon Reid is an incredible inspiration upon me as a guitarist BUT they can't hold a candle to them boys from DC. Anybody that thinks otherwise needs to check their heads and their punk credibility.
