Body Count really was and is something special. I discovered them far later than I discovered Rage, but they really are putting out gems even now with “No Lives Matters” [1] in 2017 and their take on Ice-T’s “Colors” in 2020 [2]. Apparently there is a new album in the works and I certainly hope they will continue putting out excellent music and social commentary of a kind you otherwise would only see coming out of hip hop.

- acomjean 4y agoI discovered rage because they gave out tapes at a body count concert and a friend picked one up. Rage was the opening band. I have the original body count cd, I got on release day. They had one and they had to go looking for it in the back. I believe it was the same day as Bruce Springsteens double album. We saw Rage at UMass student Union ballroom and Body Count later that year at a club in Amherst. Those 90s had some good shows.

Saw this at a small venue in North Dakota: Danzig With opening bands: Marilyn Manson (and yes, he did drop trow about 3 min into their set. Hilariously my best friend called it before the show) Korn In Minneapolis at First Ave: Fear Factory With opening bands Hed(Pe) Static X System Of A Down
- ojl 4y agoI listened to Body Count in the 90s and then rediscovered them a few years ago when their remake of Institutionalized was recommended to me by Spotify. The lyrics on that one are hilarious.
