Do artists have rights?

It's like a litter of pups. There's bound to be an ugly one.

 

I do not think that an artist can be blamed for someone taking their song to an extreme.

Hell, I fill my mind with evil rock music all day (Metallica, Black Sabbath, Korn, AC/DC) and I don't feel like eating a baby, worshipping satan, starting riots etc...

People who kill themselves do to a song or something like that are just people who should be nominated for Darwin awards, IMHO.

 

I think they should say whatever they want...unless it's like "On March the 12th! YEAH YEAH YEAH! We're Gonna Bomb The U.S Capitol YEAH YEAH YEAH! *guitar solo*"

...sounds like a Britney Spears song


anyways...I think the people who auctlly kill themselves,or kill people because of lyrics doesnt deserve to be on this planet anyways

I think Music helps one from not hurting...because they "releive" there anger and frustration when they listen to there favorite CD...

 

I also don't like when the people blame a certain band,or type of music for the crimes commited,like Columbine...the boys listened to Marylin Manson...and they blamed it on him...


*sigh*

 

While I agree that blaming Manson for the Columbine murders was ridiculous, I'd like to add that Klebold and harris didnt like MM at all, they actually disliked him. They listened to bands like KMFDM but those bands werent recognized by most americans so the media picked something they thought was similar for a scapegoat. I have a text file of MM's speech about this. I think its pretty insightful, but I dont know if I should post it because it might be too political.

 

yeah, they also listened to alot of Ramstein it goes along with that German thing, and haha isn't ironic that we are talking about MM and KMFDM and after Twiggy(bass player) left to go to A perfect circle, that the guy from KMFDM now plays bass for Manson haha. Ryan Berry, you whould pm that text file to me! I could like to read that, if you wouldnt mind.
thanks

I had no idea Twiggy was going to do APC, that should be interesting. Check your inbox in about a minute.

 

That was rather interesting, all so true, thanks man

I am reminded of what Pete Townsend once said "If a person goes out and kill himself just because some sh** head with a guitar told them to than there sh** heads themself and would of done it anyway"

 

I get it, so THAT explains why you became a
jock bass supporter??

Thanks, by the way. We love you, can I still
diss you in the lounge?

Go ahead... I lack the self esteem to defend myself anyways...

 

That's not communism, that's stupidity.

 

People blame music because it's easier than blaming themselves.

 

It's these songs that make me want to kill myself and the people who wrote them.
Thing is, if you sing lyrics like "kill yourself" or "kill people" or whatever, you're an idiot.
If you listen to these lyrics and do as they say, you're an even bigger idiot and don't deserve to be on the planet.
I believe we're reaching a point in our evolution where Darwin's theory of Survival of the fittest doesn't apply to us anymore.

 

Exactly right.
