Biography:
Bad Brains are a punk rock band formed in Washington, D.C., USA in 1977. They are regarded as one of the pioneers of hardcore punk, though band members have objected to the term to describe their music. They are also an adept reggae band, while later recordings featured elements of other genres like funk, heavy metal, hip-hop and soul. Bad Brains are followers of the Rastafari movement.
Originally formed as a jazz fusion ensemble under the name Mind Power

BANNED IN D.C - BAD BRAINS

Tabbed by: Joe Sherrin
Song: Banned In DC
Artist: Bad Brains
Album: Bad Brains
Tuning: Standard
Havent seen any guitar tabs for this, just bass tabs, so i sat down at busted one out.
- I made a little chord diagram cus he uses different E's. Also when theres a "5" next
the chord that means its a power chord.
Also, almost every time an E5 is played, instead of just strumming it he slides from D#5
now and then. i didnt write these D#'s in but listen to the track to see what im
about... he does the same slidy thing on the A's in the 2nd verse.
