I'm not sure about the rest of the band, but there's this 80s punk band called Fear whose lead singer is violently right-wing.

I suppose Eric Clapton (although not really a band..), but only because regardless of his politics he did shape guitar playing, and I am a fairly serious player.
I also listen to Wagner occassionally. Although he was not a pleasant man in the slightest, his compositions are powerful and impressive (musically). I think it is a great shame that such a talent was used for such evil ends :(

The leader singer, i forget his name, wait, Wattie, is a fucking racist. Not a nazi i don't think (despite their nazi following and, i think he also has a swastika tatoo - for "shock" value), but he doesn't like Pakistani's and another racial group I can't remember right now.
Wattie Buchan has photos of him throwing up a Nazi Salute, so the 'shock' value is probably just a lie. I've been listened to punk rock for near on half of my life, and I still fail to see anything at all good with the Exploited. Seriously, if you see someone wearing an Exploited shirt congratulate them on finding punk rock a few days previously

I'm not a fan of the Exploited either, but I'm pretty sure Wattie isn't connected to any organised fascist groups or anything like that.
I lived in Edinburgh for awhile in the 1990s, and while I never personally met Wattie, some other members of the Exploited were definitely anti-racist and nobody invovled in anti-facist activism seemed to have any real political problem with the Exploited or with Wattie. I got the sense he was more or less just sort of a redneck-ish asshole without any coherent politics.

I don't really listen to any right-wing music, due in part to the fact that they are right-wing, but I also believe (and this isn't just me being bitter) that most right-wing bands tend to be crap. I have a few friends that listen to Slayer and Pantera, and I can't stand them (the bands, not the friends).

And Pantera aren't right-wing at all - that's a weird myth - they once did a cover of the anti-cop song 'The Badge'

Many, I hate to say it, but I love Wu-Tang and ODB is really sexist and reactionary, but I just love some RZA beats! Besides, that time in the 90s were a pretty low point for politically consious hip-hop and so if you compare Wu to what else was around, it wasn't that out-there...odb was.
I couldn't bring myself to listen to any right-wing punk. Any punk group that describes themself as right-wing is actually a nazi group. Well, not anymore in the US. Now a lot of punk is just apolitical... it's sad.

How come you guys keep saying that Slayer are right-wing? The most reactionary thing I noticed about that band is that the singer is religious (the rest of the group is atheist).

The few overtly political bands I listen to are mostly left-wing. Most seem to be apolitical, or in varying degrees of liberalism.

I wasn't really aware of Pantera's right wingedness or otherwise... I never really listen to them, although I love playing cowboys from hell because it s self-induldgent twaddle, and suits my guitar ego when the solo kicks in ;). That said I played that most around 16/17, over the last few years I moved on in guitar masturbation so Dimebag licks fell out of my repetoire.

I'm quite sure I came across an interview where at least one of the guys in Slayer professed to be "conservative", then there's the use of nazi iconography, writing an ode to a nazi torturer and naming your fan club the Slaytanic "Wehrmacht" a term that is no longer used in Germany to identify their army because it is so closely associated with the Nazi army of WWII.
As for Pantera, that video speaks volumes. Then there was also the time where the singer was wearing a shirt with a Soth African neo-nazi symbol on it. It gets a passing mention in this article:
http://turnitdown.newcomm.org/index.php?op...id=29&Itemid=54 (http://turnitdown.newcomm.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=54)
And Permanent Rev mentioned "And Pantera aren't right-wing at all - that's a weird myth - they once did a cover of the anti-cop song 'The Badge' ". Sorry that doesn't cut it many right wing types are anti-police, anti-government, especially in their youth or when you are playing to a group of predominantly white teenage males who like to drink, smoke and generally raise some hell all of which could bring the cops down on you.

I doubt it... Have you read any of their lyrics on feminism in general?
The manics were and are very pro-feminism and have penned songs like Little Baby Nothing and Emily. The former should need no introduction to anyone who is a fan of the manics and the latter, which is from their less praised latest album, is a song about Emily Pankhurst.
I can't actually think of a single song they have written that is about aborton, people commonly think that of walking abortion is actually about abortion, it is not.
The manic street preachers are undoubtedly the most successful UK socialist band of modern times, having six albums including a comeplation album reaching the top ten, one of them at #1 and two charting at #2, in the British albums charts. This puts them in the same kind of league as bands like RATM and System of a Down, the only two other major socialist bands I can think of who have reached major success.
they are not a remotely conservative band, especially when we consider that their three most famous songs are as follows: -
If you Tolerate This - A song about the Spanish civil war, written from the republican perspective.
The Masses Against the Classes - a socialist anthem
A Design for Life - a working class anthem.
Static X are into Ayn Rand and that shit.

The conservative one perhaps is the singer, I´ll give you that. But an ode to a nazi torturer? You´re certainly refering to the "Angel Of Death" lyrics, which talk about Joseph Mengele, and they´re no way an ode to nazism. Don´t believe me? Read the lyrics:
Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The way that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in
Like cattle
You run
Stripped of
Your life’s worth
Human mice, for the angel of death
Four hundred thousand more to die
Angel of death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood
Destroying, without mercy
To benefit the aryan race
Surgery, with no anesthesia
Fell the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die
Angel of death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of death
Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh, drips away
Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
How long can you last
In this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time
’til you rip yourselves apart
Millions laid out in their
Crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve
The holocaust
Seas of blood, bury life
Smell your death as it burns
Deep inside of you
Abacinate, eyes that bleed
Praying for the end of
Your wide awake nightmare
Wings of pain, reach out for you
His face of death staring down,
Your blood running cold
Injecting cells, dying eyes
Feeding on the screams of
The mutants he’s creating
Pathetic harmless victims
Left to die
Rancid angel of death
Flying free
[ angel of death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of death
Angel of death]
And the use of nazi iconography or nazi words like "Wehrmacht", I think they´ve stated several times that it´s only for the shock value.

ok i wanna clear something up the person who said Avenged sevenfold i wanna say that although there lead singer voted for bush and that the song M.I.A. is dedicated to u.s troops doesnt make then a right wing band infact A7X have even said that they aren't a political band. so clearly they arent right-wing or left-wing.
lots of bands say they aren't political, I don't care.

When it comes to religious... I really like Johnny Cash's music. Although, he was left wing.
Other than that, I can't think of any music I listen to of which I'm aware they are right wing. There have been a few times in the past where I listened to music thats new to me, and I found out they were right wing pretty quick (one or two lyrics that made it blatantly obvious) and couldn't listen anymore. I have issues with listening to music with ANY right wing lyrics or implications in it. If they keep it outside their music, the concept of that doesn't bother me.

ROSETTA STONED lyrics
Alrighty then... picture this if you will...
Time to de-wrap that chili dog
Eat a box of krispy kremes
We've ID'd an air pollutant [indiscernable] area 51
Contemplating the whole truth
Of people thinking we just took a flaming
Stale banana split the sky light, well
One opened up we'd expect to see a place like this
Code red i'll put us in a diamond setting
Right on my birkenstocks in the open
Holy fucking shit... holy fucking shit...
Let the x-file be entered
As some kind of blue creature
[indiscernable]
If you look at your appearance for a moment you can see
Another banana bourbon enema
Someone hovered above my buckeyes
My daily chore
Maybe i'll run over the upper lip but all i could think was
[indiscernable] fucking cats
The sewer line is waiting
Like an apparition he had me crying out
Fuck me! sodomy!
A dead head chemistry! bladder problems won't stifle me!
If i can't make it, people who are watching see.
And after calming me down with some orange slices and some needle spooning
He revealed to me a singular purpose, he said, you are the chosen one
The one who will deliver the message
A message of hope for those who choose to hear it
And a warning for those who do not
Me, the chosen one... they chose me
And i didn't graduate from fucking high school
Shit the bed
Shit better
You better
You better listen
Would you please report that ?
He looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means, must remember to write it down
This is so real,
Like the time that he floated away
See my heart is pounding
Cause this shit never happens to me
Can't breathe right now, it was so real
Like i woke up in wonderland
Also a bit terrifying
I don't want to be all alone when i tell this story
And can anyone tell me why? [indiscernable]
Will i ever be coming down?
This is so real, finally it's my lucky day
See my heart is racing
Cause this shit never happens to me
Can't breathe right now
You believe me don't you, please believe what i just said
See they're telling true and... and this wasn't all in my head
So they took me by the hand and invited me right in
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin
Strapped down to my bed,
Feet cold and eyes red,
I'm out of my head,
Am i alive am i dead,
Can't remember what they said
God damn shit the bed
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be the one
Born to bear and read to all
The details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see
But i forgot my pen, shit the bed again
Typical
Strapped down to my bed,
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am i alive am i dead,
Sunkist and Sudafed, gyroscopes, and infrared won't help
Brain dead, can't remember what they said
God damn shit the bed
I can't remember what they said to me
Can't remember what they said to me
Made out to be a hero
Can't remember what they said
[indiscernable] oh no
God damn shit the bed
In every interview, Tool has shown themselves to be leftist.
The whole 10,000 Days album is a pessimistic outlook on consumerism and capitalist society.
Well you listen to Tool and probably think Keating's lyrics are philosophical monologues on the torment that is life when they're actually a pile of addled, nonsensical bullshit
Jeez. Give Tool some credits from actually trying to make new experimental music instead of the old 4/4 done thirty million times already, which are gimmicks, not musical pieces.
You should also give them some credit for actually not being sell-outs, which says a lot more about their political stance than lyrics ever will.
Also, show me a (new) renowned band with deeper lyrics than Tool.
PS: There is no one with the name "Keating" in Tool. A nice way of letting us know you have never heard any of their music.

I was just posting an example of the rubbish gibberish that Tool are capable of. Not all their stuff is like that obviously but they are capable of seem pretty pointless bullshit and it just annoyed me that the other guys opinion was completely dismissed as 'unfounded irrelevant' just because he lacked examples. It's a ridiculous contradiction it's not as if he himself provided any examples of good lyrics by Tool which equally isn't that hard.
Shits me when people pull the research card. People should be entitled their gut reaction emotions without having to always back them up. It's not like anything ridiculous was claimed anyway.

13th May 2006, 08:24
Wish I did. I can hold a tune but have a limited range. That's it sadly! A good quote about me which came from an especially musically gifted guy is 'he knows everything about music except how to play the shit.'
I just absorb by accident what I like and don't like as I'm unconsciously looking for new yardsticks I guess. As a fan I don't feel any need to contribute as I doubt what my own talent would be and am fine to just respect and appreciate the medium.
I've thought about learning and forming something before though just because it annoys me when some people write off my opinion as insignificant because I don't play anything.
I'm kind of competent at photography, painting and writing but that's it in terms of creativity really. I'm okay in sculpture from what I've tried but the opportunities are minimal.

Beware of Tool fans. We are feirce.
I am gonna say Marlyn Manson. I used to listen to his music before i understood what good industrial music is. Marlyn Manson just loves that militaristic bullshit mixed objectivism, and nazi symbolism. On Anti-Christ Superstar's Disc there is the lightning bolt symbol of the British Union Of Fascists. Now i have come to realize how shitty Manson's voice altered music is. No wonder Trent Reznor said fuck off to him.

Lynyrd Skynyrd ---- must be the northern New York redneck in me! --- but I love that band and have since the first time I heard them way back the same year of their plane crash. Hadn't sat down and listened to them in some years, but just recently found some of their albums and live concert video in a used cd bin -- the price was right so I scapped them up. I'd forgotten kust how great a band they were --- probably one of the most authentic, unpretentious, non-gimmicky, writing from personal experiences, kick ass guitar bands out there.
Though I've heard all the controversy surrounding them, etc. --- don't really see any evidence of it.
And Freebird --- played out? maybe..
But... it's still the closest thing to a mulitiple orgasm ever set to music. If you haven't had sex to Freebird.. you haven't had sex. :)

Next they turn their focus to highly charged issues — the West's fear of immigrants from Eastern Europe, the power games of the EU, the analogies between Western democracy and totalitarianism.
Probably the most right-wing band I listen to is probably Pantera.
As for Slayer, I got a very negative vibe from their song Angel of Death - it seemed to portray Dr Mengele as a twisted killer than any kind of hero. But the song kicks ass.

I think Satyricon and perhaps 1349 are my favorate right-wing bands. But ya never know they would be 3rd positionists, right? and I listen to a lot of black metal I guess. Satyricon, to their defense, and slander, has that song "black lava" which mostly seems to be black metal in retreat when they sing nostolgia for the burzum church tour of 1995. '95 certainly was a good year and all, but I can think of a few ways satanic youth-sub cultures could contribute to the spirit of '95 beyond singing...

Well there's the use of the Confederate flag on album covers and merchandise, a symbol of hatred, intolerance and bigotry. Why do you think the akln and nazis are always waving the damn things.
There's the song Sweet Home Alabama. Freebird is a total wank and if having sex to that song is the pinnacle of sex then I'll never make it. I'd rather listen to "Stairway to Heaven" than Freebird.

I can't actually think of a single song they have written that is about aborton, people commonly think that of walking abortion is actually about abortion, it is not.
That was what I was referring to, would you mind telling me what it is about? (It was the line about "the innocent blood stains us all" that made me think it was an anti-abortion song.) [/b]
It is about humanaities over willingness to kill each other and that people let it happen.
Note the repeated references to brutal murderers. You have to remember that a lot of the manics lyrics are often quoting directly or quoting sentiment of others... this means that individual lines, especially from the Holy Bible album, can give a very false impression of the song. The actual lyric you took is: -
Life is lead weights, pendulum died
pure or lost, spectator or crucified
recognised truth acedia's blackest hole
junkies winos whores the nation's moral suicide
loser - liar - fake - phoney
no one cares, everyone is guilty
fucked up - dunno why - you poor little boy
we are all of walking abortion
shalom shalom we all love our children
we all are of walking abortion
shalom shalom there are no horizons
Mussolini hangs from a butcher's hook
Hitler reprised in the worm of your soul
Horthy's corpse screened to a million
Tisu revived, the horror of a bullfight
fragments of uniforms, open black ruins
a moral conscience - you've no wounds to show
so wash your car in your 'X' baseball shoes
we all are of walking abortion
shalom shalom we all love our children
we are all of walking abortion
shalom shalom there are no horizons
little people in little houses
like maggots small blind and worthless
the massacred innocent blood stains us all
who's responsible - you fucking are
who's responsible - you fucking are
who's responsible - you fucking are
who's responsible - you fucking are
who's responsible.
Note that the theme is continued, it is saying that we allow shit like, Mussolini, Hitler, etc, that to happen. we all care about our own children, but when it comes to other people, no one gives a shit.
The song becomes much more confused when we note the reference to Valerie Solanas, which is the title of the track, which is a quote from her manifesto. Which has caused plenty of deeper speculation, is it about mans inferiority to women? Etc.
But what you can be sure it is not about is the subject of Abortion, in anything other than an abstract or descriptive manner.
For a basic idea: -
http://articles.richeyedwards.net/holybible.html
The song Archieves of Pain, however does tend to lean towards the right-wing on the subject of execution. It is a song for the victims, but then again, what would you do to the likes of Hitler, Sutcliffe, Mussolini, Hitler, etc?

Don't knock what you don't understand then, and people wont be forced to hit back.
As for Tool lyrics, some certainly are very abstract, but don't for a second imagine that they all are: -
Choices always were a problem for you.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow,
What you need is someone strong to use you..
Like me,
Like me.
If you want to get your soul to heaven,
Trust in me .
Don’t judge or question.
You are broken now ,
But faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
Let me lay my holy hand upon you.
My gods will
Becomes me.
When he speaks out,
He speaks through me.
He has needs
Like I do.
We both want
To rape you.
Jesus christ, why don’t you come save my life.
Open my eyes and blind me with your light
And your lies.
The meaning of this song is crystal clear. So you can drop your generalising attitude and superior tone.

The case for Tool's meaningful side has been stated in abundance since this post so I won't bother quoting examples, though I easily could. And LOL at your attempts to write off my defense of my favourite band as a contradiction, I do believe the post I was replying to in the first place attempted to rubbish my opinions based on the fact that I listen to Tool. Yes, not so directly, but that's exactly what it did.
Shits me when people pull the research card. People should be entitled their gut reaction emotions without having to always back them up. It's not like anything ridiculous was claimed anyway.
People who judge music based on their 'gut reactions' as opposed to giving said music a chance and listening to some of the lyrics can't really understand the music they are trying to judge, it's political stance or even whether or not it makes sense. If that's what you're into then that's fine by me, but don't try to start an arguement based on your 'findings'.
And it was claimed that Tool's lyrics are 'nonsensical gibberish' or something to that effect, which in my opinion and the opinion of many others on this board, is ridiculous.

I don't know much about the Sex Pistols, but I do realize that in the video for 'Anarchy in th UK' one of the band members is wearing a picture of Karl Marx somewhere (I can't remember where though).

Wait, the sarcasm's just going way over my head.
EDIT: Also, I don't think the Sex Pistols were that politically motivated. True, they had a general anti-royalty feeling, but they were mostly just in it for the cash and the image.

Slayer are right wing. During the first Gulf War they were full of praise for George Bushs leadership and encouraged almost hero worship of soldiers fighting in the war. They have come out with consistently right wing statementns ininterviews.
But the thing that I feel really shows how they feel is when they covered the Minor Threat song 'Guilty of being white' and altered the lyrics at the end of the song to 'Guilty of being right' changing the whole meaning of the song.

Dude, have you listened to those songs? They have horrible lyrics but to a catchy tune and ironic scenes. For instance, when the Boneheads are getting their asses kicked by the Vietnamese in the movie and are running away from them in utter defeat, the music they put to it sings "Fourth Reich fighting men thats who we are, We're livin in the sewers but were gonna go far. You see our numbers growing [right as about 90% of the boneheads have been killed] We're shoutin Hurah! Fourth Reich fighting men, thats who we are"
Its just such absurd and ridiculous music, but very bloody catchy tunes. I dont think the songs were made by actual Nazi's, its way to good and ironic to compare to no-talent schmucks like Skrewdriver and Rahowa. Such a good film though, so insane and chalk full of bitter irony.

I don't really listen to much overtly right-wing music so it would probably be stuff like Eric Clapton, David Bowie, Joy Division (did not know they were right-wing till this thread), etc. I guess maybe some outlaw country artists too although I guess those tend to be more libertarian/anti-establishment than actually conservative.
Joy Division isnt right wing, they were accused but denied it strongly.

The Exploited-40 odd years ago lyrics.
"Mussolini was a fascist pig. Hitler was no better. Tojo was an imperialistic nip, but Stalin managed to go one better. 40 odd years ago, 40 odd years ago, before you and I were born. Chamberlain was our man of peace, but was fooled by a piece of paper. Churchill warned him long ago. He vowed to end Hitler's caper."
Ah so as well as being fascists they also have an inept understanding of history.
Great.

I'm not sure about being right-wing, but Johnny Cash has some religious themes in his music. He was a great singer/songwriter however.

I like some right-wing punk bands like the Germs (Darby Crash wore swastika arm-bands, and, unlike most punks, was SERIOUS about it), and Minor Threat (the lyrics to "Guilty of Being White" are stupid but the song is great). I also listen to some Graham Parker despite his reactionary views on reproductive freedom.
In every interview, Tool has shown themselves to be leftist.
Indeed. Adam Jones was in a high-school band with Tom Morello and Tool and Rage have recorded a song called "Revolution" by fans. Maynard was friends with leftist comedian Bill Hicks and the album Aenima is dedicated to him.
Sex pistols arent right wing, theyre exceedingly antimonarchy anyway.
So are plenty of reactionary Catholic chauvinist Irishmen. Look up the lyrics to the song "Bodies." I'm not exactly sure what its about (since most of John Lydon's lyrics make no sense whatsoever) but I think its anti-abortion.

Minor Threat
You're an indescribable idiot if you think Minor Threat are right-wing.
Punks take music way too seriously.

I don't think they're very right wing in general, but the song "Guilty for Being White" reminds me of the complaints of white Republicans I hear all too often.

When I like a band's music I make sure to research their political attitudes as closely as possible. If they turn out to be right wing I destroy all their records and send them hate mail. If I get the chance I burn down their houses.
Some people call me a fanatic but I like to think I'm just careful.

Do you have any specific examples?

I dont know. When I listen to a band I don't really follow their political beliefs but Guns N Roses perhaps?
Totally agree... Guns n Roses seems a little violent and mysogonistic (sp?).
