The album I am holding up in front of you is by the band Metalica [sic].
It is on Electra [sic] Asylum records. A song on this album is called
"Faith in Black" ["Fade to Black"]. It says the following. "I have lost the will to live.
Simply nothing more to give. There is nothing more for me. I need
the end to set me free."
"Death greets me warm. I will just say good-bye."
Consider the self-destructive violence that is encouraged in their
song "Whiplash." "Bang your head against the stage like you
never have before. Make it rain, make it bleed, make it really sore.
In a frenzied madness, now is the time to let it rip, to let it fucking
loose. We are gathered here to maim and kill, for this is what we
choose."
Ozzie [sic] Osbourne on his first solo album, shown here, sings a song
called "Suicide Solution." Ozzie [sic] insists that he in no way encourages
suicidal behavior in young people, and yet he appears in
photographs such as these in periodicals that are geared toward the
young teenage audience.
For those of you who cannot make that out because of the lights,
it is a picture of Ozzie [sic] with a gun barrel stuck into his mouth.
This is the cover of Twisted Sister's high selling LP for Atlantic
Records called "Stay Hungry." An example of Twisted Sister's
appeal to young people is evident in the back to school contest
being run by MTV. First prize is a get together with Twisted
Sister. The first prize is a meeting with Twisted Sister.
The hit song from the album, "We're Not Going to Take It," was
released as a video, which you saw just a moment ago, a video in
which the band members proceed to beat up daddy, who will not
let them rock. Their first album, which has been rereleased [sic?] by
Atlantic Records, is called "Under the Blade."
The title song includes words like "Your hands are tied, your
legs are strapped, you are going under the blade." In lyrics from
the song "Shoot them Down," the band sings, "They think we are
fools who want to make their own rules. It only gets us madder.
They think they are hot. Well, I say they're not. They shoot us
down for fun. If they don't want to play, then let's make them pay.
Shoot them down with a fucking gun."
This is the cover of AC/DC's brandnew [sic] album for Atlantic
Records, "Fly on the Wall."
One of the songs from the album "Back in Business" was
released as a single for airplay and included the words, "Don't you
struggle or try to bite. You want some trouble. I am the king of
vice. I am a wrecking ball. I am a stinging knife. Steal your money.
Going to take your life."
Of course, AC/DC is no stranger to violent material. Their song
"Squealer" contained the following. "She said she had never been
balled before, and I don't think she'll ball no more. Fixed her
good."
One of their fans I know you are aware of is the accused Night
Stalker.
Judas Priest sings of violent rape in their song "Eat Me Alive"
from their Columbia Records released [sic] "Defenders of the Faith."
"Squealing in passion as the rod of steel injects. Gut wrenching
frenzy that deranges every joint. I am going to force you at
gunpoint to eat me alive."
