Body Count

DrumSteve

Anyone else like em? I've been a fan for a few years. Particularly like "KKK Bitch" that song is hilarious. (was tempted to call this thread black metal:D)

Plus i think Ice T was a very underrated frontman. Check out Cop Killer:

Original Gangster (Ice-T) is a great album. Midnight (Black Sabbath is the underlying riff) / Some of you niggas is bitches too are songs worth checking out.

they are difinitely one band id go see (if they stopped dying)

I got into them when they came out initially. Sorta lost touch with them over the years until a year or so ago when i found a couple of 'old' cd's lying around the gaff and gave them a whirl. I'd forgotten how great they were. Sadly most people remember the 'cop killer' controversy as being what the band was all about but they were a great outfit with some class tunes.

Class!:D:D

When i heard the song Body Count on OG i couldn't wat to hear the first album and i wasn't disapointed. They played here years ago, two nights just after xmas, both nights were great with very different crowds.

Now here's a band I haven't though of or listened to in years!
DrumSteve, I see what you mean. Just looked on Wikipedia - Mooseman, Beatmaster V and D-Roc have all died. RIP.

yeah its bad **** to happen... check out the lollapaloosa performance of cop killer. shows what a great frontman ice t is.

It kinda begs the question... why isnt there more black rock bands? they certainly had the chops.

I love Body Count!! I actually had a load of their stuff on my old harddrive. Totally forgot about them...

Big fan, have a copy of their first cd with Cop Killer on it, paid about 40 pounds years ago for it. Have a load of Picture vinyls too.
Saw them at the Reading festival years ago.

got i got into em for a (very) short while off the back of the 2005 LA Troubador DVD. wasn't havin em back in the day, ironically

didn't Ice-T incite the beatdown of a guy who offended him at the SFX show early 90s? !

Otis Driftwood

I loved their debut but they kinda went off the boil and got pretty sanitised after the whole cop killer controversy.

The debut is very gritty sounding and the production isnt the best which is part of why I dig it,the later stuff just sounds too damn polished if ya ask me.

I can think of God Forbid and Fear Nuttin immediately but you're right, they are a bit under-represented. Maybe if there were more black Scandinavians?

eh no he didnt ,well sort of
i was at that gig and there was a dude in the crowd ,a a skinhead
he started spitting up at ice-t
stopping the gig ,he kept it up and eventually ice-t pointed him out
and he got a few well deserved digs

Star Bingo

well thats not far off then is it?! but i guess a few punches from all directions is not a beatdown as such..

haven't had / done a good beatdown in a while! life affirming

it seemed to have done the trick with the skinhead

Kick ass band, I like the way they infuse cheese, ott lyrics and rap with heavy metal. Any band that has a song the lyrics of which consist of bodycount, bodycount...bodycount in the house, gets my kudos. Bodycount on OG was a really great song aswell, awesome songs, cool riff and outrageous yet spot on lyrics.

I saw them in Belfast, was between Christmas and New Years. One of the best gigs ever. When they started Cop Killer half the audience went ape**** mad while the other half stood there looking quite concerned/reserved! Same thing happened when Ice-T described how he'd shagged the Queen in London the day before!
