Black Jack Johnson

~~punkerjeff~~ · 11-28-2003, 01:23 PM

I dont know if you've heard of this. I just heard about it myself. Anyways a guy in my grade who likes hip-hop was showing me this in tech class:

It's a new rock/punk/hardcore? (not sure exactly yet) band called Black Jack Johnson named after Jack Johnson (1878-1946), the first black man to win the heavyweight boxing championship of the world, in 1908, when he knocked out Tommy Burns in Australia.

The members include:

Mos Def - Vocals
Will Calhoun from The Living Colour - Drums
Doug Wimbish from The Living Colour - Bass
Bernie Worrell - Keyboard
Dr. Know (aka. Gary Miller) from Bad Brains - Guitar

It sounds very interesting. They have already started some touring. You can download some live mp3's on kazaa but they are horrible recordings (the sound is bad)...

Anyways I am really curious to hear this. I mean Mos Def, two guys from The Living Colour and Dr. Know from BAD BRAINS!!!

Freddy Cricien (Madball) and Toby Morse (H2O), guitarists Chad Gilbert (New Found Glory) and David Kennedy (Box Car Racer), bassist Hoya (Madball) and drummer Mackie Jayson (Bad Brains),
