Does your favorite band/artist use profanity live ? Metallica for many year used heavy profanity live but since James got cleaned up it has been scaled way back.

James LaBrie of DT occasionally drops an F-bomb or two, and Mike Portnoy is a big fan of his own term "Eat my ass and balls."
I don't see it as a big thing. |

Robert Fripp: "I respond to enthusiasm."
Or:
Nils Frykdahl: "We're going to play a new song."
[Heckler] "Play something old!"
Nils: "Don't worry. This song will be old soon enough." |

| | Life's like a movie, write your own ending | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: New York, NY | | | My favorite artist is Paul Simon and I don't think he has used profanity at all.
In my solo performances, I do not use profanity except in one or two songs. And that's only live; I will never use profanity on a recording I am going to release.
I don't talk much onstage at all, and it's not my nature to use those words anyway. |

Roger Daltrey (Who) does, even on the recorded version of "Who Are You", and Maynard James Keenan (tool) does in lots of songs.
In the case of tool, I doubt the songs would be the same without the profanity; their (early) music is very aggressive.
Can't write a metal song about birds and bees unless it includes violence and sex. |

And it's kind of wierd, because it's pretty much limited to thier anti-war song "Peace the ***k Out", which repeats the f-bomb numerous times. Other than that they really don't swear hardly at all, which is good because in general, I find the proliferation of profanity today to be nothing more than evidence that the vocabulary, oratory, and propriety of average people has gone right down the toilet. Myself included, as I try desperately to keep toung in check. |

Now Ive known some artists that would occasionally say profanity when talking to the crowd. Hendrix is my favorite when he talks to the crowd . One concert he says " We're going to to play oldies but badies tonight" . At the Isle of Wight , it was his first time back in England after he made a splash , he decided to open with God Save the Queen. He told the crowd to stand up and cheer for their country , and if not , **** you. It made me laugh so hard. |

Either in the lyrics of a song, or addressing the crowd. It's not like it's a make or break thing, but music is about expression right? I mean, people don't make music out of fear of offending anyone (sometimes they do it to offend certain people). And if you don't want to hear profanity in a bands performance, don't go to the show. If you're a born again Christian, don't go to the Slayer concert...because YOU ARE GOING TO BE OFFENDED! |

I don't even think about it. If you notice it then there's too much IMO! |
