1077.0. "Racist Rock" by ASDG::FAY () Thu May 18 1995 13:03

    	Has anyone ever owned an album or seen one of those groups play? 
    
    	Do you think it's art?
    
    	Do you think there's a message?

    	Or do you think it's a bunch or racists, who sit around drinking
        beer, whose idea of a nite on the town includes bashing someone's
        skull in with their boots, burning crosses and landing in jail... 
        and the next morning they wonder why opportunity dosen't come
        knocking on their door?
    
    	What da ya think?

    	I am not into thst kind of music, it dosen't get much airplay on
    the radio, at least no the stations I listen to. MTV did a documentary
    on them. They seem to be quite popular with young white males...

    One band that springs to mind in the UK is some pond-life called
    Screwdriver. Their songs are Oi based (punk with football terrace
    chants) and the lyrics are usually rants about the re-patriation 
    of immigrants or tackle the usual ropey old neo-nazi themes of
    blood and valour and honour and Aryan supermen called Reg waiting to 
    return from Valhalla in his Ford Cortina to fight the good fight
    and make Croydon racially pure.
    
    I should'nt jest because these bands are sick. Their audiences 
    reflect the bands in as much as they are, too, almost always
    young males of very little intelligence, with feelings of 
    inadequacy, hormonally overloaded and without sex lives.  
    
    I believe there are now many similar bands in existence in Germany
    and also Russia. Rather disturbing that.

    I think every band in the world should fill the world with
    silly little love songs!!!!!

1077.11Say it Loud???WOTVAX::FISHWICKJFri May 19 1995 12:069
    Whatever politics these bands are giving out and whether you agree with
    them or not they should still be allowed to say it .
    	I just hope people see them for what they are and dont put any
    money their way. There should be freedom off speech whatever the tone
    of the vocab.
    	I thoght it was quite amusing to see 200 skin heads slam dancin
    when Morrisey palyed National Front Disco at one of his gigs , dont
    think their collective brain cell was working that eve.

    To The Base_Noter(FAY)....
     Theres some discussion of this in Note 957..
1077.14uh, I did look around first...ASDG::FAYSun May 21 1995 15:515
    	I saw the note on Hate Rock (Rap), I didn't feel that heavy metal
    racist (skin head) rock was covered there. Rap hate rock seems to 
    me more an American black/white thing than the racist stuff that is 
    poping up world wide (like the Nazies did). 
    
1077.15BRUJERIAKAOFS::C_MENENDEZCARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862Thu Jun 01 1995 13:0120
    	I just came accross a CD by a band called BRUJERIA. This is pretty
    racist stuff if you ask me.
    
    	These guys are mexican, and the whole CD is pure "blonde" bashing.
    It depicts the mexican druglords as businessmen in which all they are
    concerned about is making money on the deals, making american people
    buy all the stuff, ultimately causing a lot of deaths. Of course they
    consider american people stupid for this drug abuse, but to them busi
    ness is just that, business... They talk about killing families, about
    how the border patrol are "lazy" enough to chase wetbacks on vans
    instead of just running after them, etc etc.
    
    
    	The CD title is "MATANDO GUEROS", or killing blondes...
    
    
    	By the way, this is extremely heavy stuff....Swearing and blasphemy
    abound here.

    	Actually both words are valid. Guero has the little dots above the
    letter "U", but I don't know how to put them....

    FYI -- it's spelled Skrewdriver.
