does anybody know what the fuck zak is talking about here:

"world war three third round, a decade of the weapon of sound above ground"

what in the name of fuck is "the weapon of sound above ground" besides a kickin rhyme?

[hazard]

its the first line to the song guerrilla radio

I don't know if there is a right or wrong here, any interpretations will be helpful

promise not to argue...

[synthesis]

Don't know the song, but "weapon of sound" is probably music and "above ground" probably refers to the fact that the band is (was) signed to a major label (thereby making them the opposite of 'underground')

Maybe the 'decade' means that the band had been in existence for ten years when the song was written?

thats excelelnt. and here I am thinking it had something to do wih tesla radio waves and mind control. thanks. music is the weapon.

[Jaceau]

Weapon of sound would most certainly be the music itself. RATM is fond of using that whole microphone as a grenage picture, which makes sense.

Above ground, that's tough. Does it really mean the opposite of underground? I don't think that fits well, but I can't think of anything better.

That is an extremely kick ass rhyme. I love rage... I mean loved.
