* CreatorBacklash: Some of the band is quite embarrassed of "Don't Blow Bubbles", a rather homophobic song they recorded at the height of their involvement in Rastafarianism. They've never performed the song live and even replaced it with an instrumental on the 2022 physical reissues of ''Quickness''.

* NamesTheSame: Dr. Know, the Bad Brains guitarist, is not to be confused with Dr. Know, a Californian HardcorePunk band who formed just before Bad Brains issued their first studio recording. Dr. Know is also a television program about debunking misconceptions about personal health that aired on The Discovery Health Channel, as well as a fictional AI program in ''Film/AIArtificialIntelligence''. All of the above were named as a pun on ''Literature/DrNo'' and its title character.

* SerendipityWritesThePlot: Partway through the sessions for ''I Against I'', H.R. was jailed for a few months on charges of marijuana distribution - At the RecordProducer's suggestion, he recorded the vocals to "Sacred Love" over the phone to help hasten the album's completion. This is why the vocals on the studio version have a distorted quality to them not present on any other song on the album.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The 1989 album ''Quickness'' was very nearly released without H.R.: Original members Daryl Jenifer and Dr. Know entered the studio with touring members Taj Singleton (vocals) and Mackie Jayson (drums), and completed all of the songs with lyrics and melodies written by Singleton. Just before mastering the album, H.R. and Earl Hudson rejoined the band, Singleton's contributions were removed, and H.R. added totally different lyrics and vocal melodies to the music the band had already written without him. Earl Hudson didn't record any new drum parts, though his picture was on the cover and he was credited for drums instead of Mackie Jayson.
