I am alarmed at the vicious personal attacks that come upon people who try to "leave the herd" and question why we are all stampeding in a particular direction, and voice an opinion that goes against the crowd. \n\nI thought it was "American" to honor free speech and debate. I think we should relish the freedom we have, to hear another persons side, and then counter their arguments with thoughts of your own. There is much to be gained when  people are sharing, talking, and hearing each other.\n\n It seems anymore if anyone says anything at all against what our leaders choose to do at any given moment all the sudden they are called liberal scum, communists, unpatriotic traitors and publicly flogged or something. It feels very unamerican. What is wrong with occasionally questioning things, and asking for reasons, validation, or re-examining things more closely? It seems healthy to me.\n\nThere are some things that just BOTHER me. like...\nWhen a certain music band, that was fairly popular on the country scene, suddenly voiced and anti-war opinion ...\n\nsuddenly they are banned from all local radio stations and everyone hates them now. \n\nPeoples careers are ruined. Celebrities become nobodies. All for saying an opinion.\n\nHey, I'm not saying to be anti-war. Maybe the war had some good reasons it needed to be fought. Maybe you have some good points to make too. But why ruin someones life, and forbid your children to ever hear their music again, just because they share a different opinion or something?\n\nPeople are shunned, ruined, publicly flogged and verbally skinned, if they leave the "herd" and make an attempt to think for themselves. \n\nEven if you disagree with someone, I think sometimes listening to what they have to say and just saying 'that's what you think. you have the right to your opinion and I have a right to form my own. this is why I disagree..." and suddenly you get to make all your excellent points and validate what you believe. what is the harm in that?\n\n i think its healthy to debate, to talk, and be civil and listen. Free speech is priceless. Isnt that the very kind of freedoms we are supposed to be fighting to give Iraq? Why take it away from ourselves?\n\nI am disturbed by the other freedoms we seem to be voluntarily giving up as well. What's the deal with that?

System of a Down because they have yet to release a horrible song/album. All of their songs have a great beat to it. And the lyrics really grab my attention.

i agree with ילד ישראלי, and add that if it's a kind of music, you can just say "metal"... :).

something along the lines of Bring You Own Booze, usually talked about in reference to a party. in case you're talking about the System of A Down song, it's an antiwar song, it mocks the fact that Bush has tried to romanticize the war and make it look like a big party, and so that's why they named it that.

If you are talking about the band Green Day, I would consider this.  When they released American Idiot, they brought politics to a lot of younger people who had probably not given much thought to politics.  The song American Idiot was pretty much a slap in the face to the Bush administration and whether you agree or disagree, it did get a lot of people thinking and talking.

No doubts, I say Metallica.\nThey are the history of metal music, they are metal music.\nMaster of puppets, One, Enter Sandman, The unforgiven....\n\nThis is history, guys, we can't forget it.\n\nMegadeth is a good band, but the comparison is not possible in my opinion.\nBye

well, if the words to the song were about a man instead, would it be considered sexist?\n\ni think the issue of whatever gender a song lyric is addressed to does not matter, its about a certain type of person, rather than sex isnt it?

yes, but you have to take all that "in the garden of Eden" nonsense with a grain of salt.\n\nat the time everyone who was listening to Iron Butterfly was so smashed out of their head or stoned or drunk that "in a gadda da vida" made perfect sense.\n\nremember, it was the time of 'free love', tie dye shirts, free love, communes, free love and honest to God hippies everywhere.  not fake hippies, but real ones.  oh, and free love too---did i mention that?   slogans floating around like "if it feels good, do it", oh, and free love.\n\nbras were suddely viewed as oppression of the female sex and were burned right along with draft cards-----damn, i wish the 60's never would've ended.  nothing as nice as every woman in sight braless as a protest against the establishment.  oh---and the free love, too.\n\npainted VW buses, painted school busses---damn, those were the days.\n\ngosh, now i'm getting all teary eyed.  what a time.

Slipknot isn't into Satanism. They are simply more or less anti-religion, or anti-Christianity in general. Now bands like Slayer use Satanism as a gimic, i.e. they are metal, rebellious, anti-religion, thus it is cool to have Satanically laced lyrics. Then there are bands like Deicide who actually contain practicing Satanists. Hence, since they are practicing their lyrics would definitely reflect that. Anyway, I hope that clears crap up.

Metallica does a Cover of a song called So What. Lyrics are "interesting" to say the least

You are pretty much right on with what I had in mind-although I prefer "Run to the Hills" for my Iron Maiden song. You have good musical taste in my opinion!! I've sat here for a few minutes and thought about it and I can't think of any other songs that are better than what you already said.
