US forces fight Taliban with heavy metal

[Chris jM]

Music can do some pretty weird things to both your brain and body . As an FYI, Metal is a key part of the culture wars going on in Egypt right now (see here).

Fascinating... and all power to the young artist/ rock chick in that interview.

Thanks for the link marct, I vaguely recall reading an article posted on aldaily on a similar topic. Good stuff.

Likewise Tukhachevskii cheers for the anecdote. I find it all v interesting.

With regards to Mr Owen's Terry Poison recommendation, that's soft core! Instead of just annoying Violent Muslim Extremists we could always go out of our way to full out provoke them via a bit of Benni Bennasi 'satisfaction' or Eric Pryde's 'Call On Me' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_fCqg92qks). Those two clips make Ms Spears seem positively angelic by comparison

However, I can't promise that such a choice in music won't distract the coalition soldiers who will no doubt have some fond memories of the music videos in question!

Maybe my wife has a point! Beyonce's "All the Single Ladies" ?

Nothing compared to a band a "friend" of mine used to listen to ...Rockbitch and a track whose name I couldn't possibly enter here, she insisted on playing as loud as possible...enjoy

I apologize as I am taking this thread COMPLETELY of course but I can't help but comment here - having just wikipedia'd said band to see what I was in for while youtube was loading, I find they had the following band members and their positions:

Nikki: Piano, Flute, Nymphomaniac
Jo: Drums, Confrontational Predatory Lesbian

Eeee gads!!!!

Max here,

I just got downloading some more King D. I have to say my wife nearly threw up when listening to "The Graveyard" album.

After reading the section listed here from MEMRI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_fCqg92qks) We can see the debate in the muslim community already! That is the separation from the youth in revolt we felt in the early 60's and 70's is what they are describing. No doubt every kid in America grabbed a copy of King D and lit up a cigarette just to revolt against parenthood! The issues MEMRI was discussing of drugs and offensiveness is exactly what our community here US stateside encountered years ago in a culture shock of youth movement rebellion across America with sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll! It's exactly what the musicians need to shock the moral extremist fabric of the muslim community. I feel a few US soldiers will relate to some of the lyrics also. Some of the songs are so macabre, yet romantic in a darker sense...

All the Best,

Max Anderson
