I don’t really know much about this band as I wasn’t at that age where I was emotionally moved by their music like what chris martin did for me. However, I did read that they actively participated in political protests especially a PRMC one that accused rock music for the increase of any increase in violence or rape. Rock music certainly didn’t. Maybe rap/hiphop and those gun-busting gangstas who sexualise violence and glamorise death.

Maybe I’m wrong. Let’s share thoughts then.

I think video games killed the k

Such an angry song. And it kind makes me laugh because he sounded incredibly angry. with a yell of “MOTHERFARRRRKERRRRR” at the end of the song, followed with a loud “ARRRRGH”.

After the band broke up, the lead singer had a low key solo career while the rest of the members formed the group Audioslave, with former Soundgarden frontman, Chris Cornell, which eventually broke up after a couple of years. You can follow him on Twitter – he tweets frequently.

It reminded me of the younger days where I listed to Limp Bizkit and Slipknot. When I was angry at everything.

So here you go: Killing in the name by RATM
