Censorship in the music business - (PMRC 25 years, Walmart US)

[HispanicMetalhead15]

Its not the artist responsibility to be a good role model god damit

[chidebiolaful]

since then music lyrical content especially in hip hop has gotten worse.

[chidebiolaful]

i think those brainwashed christain group were so right after all i mean look at videos smh!look at the guys complaining

[TheWho58]

Lol whats the point, the kids are just gonna learn all those swears at school. Thats where I learned all my swears.

[XXSUICIDEXX666]

wow can't believe meetallica used to do shit like that look at them now

[pizzadeliveryguy1984]

scott ian said tit lol

[ACEFREHLEYFREEK13]

Who can name all the metal songs.

[yootesa1515]

@TheMattTrivium those 9 of 10 people in your class dont listen to real hip hop with emotion they listen to the hits, you like metal dont you ? imagin a world where someone would say metal suck becuase of limp biscot green day and blink 182.. there are plenty of hip hop artists that will blow your mind dude. and why does it matter if the music suppresses woman ? every woman gets suppessed by a man and every man gets suppresses by a woman its poetry .

[aerorocker95]

Scott Ian says it the best. People need to grow the fuck up.

[michaelkelley88]

well i strongly believe that censorship is a massive violation of freedom of speech and i will proudly say fuck the pmrc!

[BobReidy]

Same here.You took the words right out of my mouth.

[ACEDIAMOND666]

FUCK THE PMRC!

there, i said it, and i don't change my fucking lyrics, or my music, for anybody.

i'm an independant heavy metal musician.......censorship is un-american.

censorship is a fascist totalitarian military police state practice.

i the usa, we have something called the first amendment to our constitution.

it forbids censorship. it says we americans are entitled to freedom of speech, the press, to peacibly assemble or protest, and to petition the gov't for a redress of grievences.

[ThrashTillYouCrash]

Scott is right on the ball. Instead of, I dunno, being a decent parent/human being and teaching their kids the difference between right and wrong, the cunts wanna defile the music that helps people deal with life? Yeah, fuck you, fuck Tipper Gore, and fuck the PMRC.

[layzergun]

This video is a pile of shit fuck ass rape piss.

[BEEGER1]

I always found it funny that Walmart won't sell records with "offensive content" but will willingly stock and sell movies with tons violent and sexual imagery, and somehow that's different.

[Thorpe741]

Scott Ian's shoes are "KILLER'!!

[Greysockmadman]

The left would censor and ban yes,.... but the right would just flat out make every thing that wasn't Pat Boone so illegal that rock, rap, and metal would all probably be the equivalent of terrorism. Face it, both side of the system are fucked.

[shakakamooroar]

Which is why I'm moving to Norway...... Lol

[MunicipalDude]

TIPPER GORE WAS HOT

[ex5098]

@MunicipalDude i cant help but agree. lol

[Randyrhoads4lyfe]

Music censorship sucks cock....

[666slayer666ful]

well this is what happens when you get these dumb bitches who obviously weren't paying enough attention to there kids music taste and what happens the washington wives totally blow shit out of proportion it basically went to a goddamn fuckin senate hearing about lyrics of all things it speaks volumes more about there immaturity and there desperate plea for attention well where are they at today fuckin no where cause rock is still gonna be here even after tipper gore dies

[Rocket14queen]

kids are going to be introduced to this shit someday so just leave it alone.

they just dont want to face the fact that they are growing up.

fuck the pmrc.

tipper gore can suck my dick.

[XXSUICIDEXX666]

it been 25 year of this bull shit 

[jimmyandzach]

i love how they blame the right wing for all of this, but the only ones wanting to ban shit is the nanny state, super liberal LEFT!!!!

[ldrsquad]

@jimmyandzach You don't seem to understand what the Right and the Left is. Right stands for conservative. The PMRC wanted to maintain the "nuclear family" image, having morals and such. They thought music such as this, was destroying it. They were trying to "conserve" it, thus the Right-Wing Label. Maybe having Gore involved confuses you. What about Dan Quayle and 2Pac? You know Right-Wingers can do Liberal things, and Left-Wingers can do Conservative things from time to time?

[jimmyandzach]

@ldrsquad true, but if you look at different patterns, and news of polititians banning various items for "safety" reasons are people of the left. Theres a reason all of the founding members of the PMRC are liberal. Its their philosiphy. They believe in government having more power over people, trying to protect us from basicly ourselves. Look at san fransisco, they are the HQ for ban happy busybodies, and its purely a liberal city. its true that conservatives do liberal stuff, but this isnt one.

[5jerry1]

@jimmyandzach

People who grilled at the senate hearings came from both side of the issue, but true, the most heavy-handed policies in everyday life do come mostly from the political left.

[salvationarmy23]

Scot Ian is spot on!

[highvoltagerocker95]

Bgshort are you wanna of those morons who thinks acdc is satanic?

[doctorshifty83]

Not all the CDs are amended at Wal-Mart. By law it originally has to have 'parental avdisory' to have an edited version. My friend picked up Black Eyed Pea's 'Elephunk' CD from Wal-Mart and you can clealy hear the usage of the 'F' word once and the 'S' word uncountable times. Even on the price tag, they actually let you know which albums are edited.

[MCRisextremelygood]

Music doesn't brainwash children. Horrorcore and Heavy metal hurt no one that aren't pussies. FYI ignorant pussies, ICP tells people who commit violence for them not to.

1. If you don't want your kid hearing ICP, Twistid, or Immortal Technique, than don't let them hear it. It isn't the artist's fault. It's the lazyass parents' fault.

2. Are you going to put those dumb ass stickers on newspaper boxes too cause of murders? Like, in Homies, ICP said "If you don't like it you can FUCK OFF!"

[metaller8]

If only the bitch's name was "Ripper Gore" then she'd probably be cool and like good music!

[bgshort99]

thumbs up if you hate rock-n-roll and love the pmrc ! tipper gore for president !

[iWantTheMustard]

@bgshort99 oh and also, just because you have "single christian male. i recently moved to missouri" on your profile, you automatically lose this argument

[bgshort99]

@iWantTheMustard hip hop is even worse than rock-n-roll.you probably like that dont ya? it tells people to kill each other.

[iWantTheMustard]

@bgshort99 first of all i fucking hate hip hop, it is trash and it just sucks. but i do know for a fact that it doesn't go tell people to kill eachother, you are so stupid its ridiculous

[MetalDethKillsEmAll]

@bgshort99 You are one stupid bitch. People do not kill others because they listen to heavy metal. It all has to to with they way you are raised and how your life is and how you are in the head. I listen to metal every day and i don't want to kill people. You are responsible for your own actions you fucking dumbass. Like scott Ian said Grow the fuck up and stop blaming rock and metal for stupid people doing stupid things.

[bgshort99]

@MetalDethKillsEmAll two boys killed themselves after listening to judas priest..in the song it said "do it"

[MetalDethKillsEmAll]

@bgshort99 Did you just ignore everything i just said. You have no idea what your talking about. In that case those kids were proven to have mental issues even before they listen to heavy metal, and the fucking song doesn't tell you to kill yourself. It's just a song. Heavy metal has helped alot of kids by giving them belonging in the world. I was watching a heavy metal documentry and the band Slipknot said that there are kids who come up to them and tell them how their music has helped them.

[bgshort99]

@MetalDethKillsEmAll heavy metal doesnt help them. those kids have been brain washed. this kind of music causes teenagers to kill themselves, commit murder, rape young girls, worship satan ,etc. it destroys..

[MetalDethKillsEmAll]

@bgshort99 You are so fucking retarded.

[AlucardsQuest]

@bgshort99 You need to stop discussing a musical genre that you don't understand, nor want to understand. Because that's just blissful ignorance on your part. You wouldn't ask your dentist's opinion about your ingrown toenail, so there's no logic in your making decisions about music that you've never really listened to. Regardless, you're giving excuses for bad parenting when you call for bans on any form of media. It has never been proven that any media is harmful to children or teenagers.

[AlucardsQuest]

@bgshort99 No, they killed themselves because they were troubled and had access to weapons. the music didn't hold the gun to their head.

[bgshort99]

i love the pmrc. i wish they would censor all rock music. it is just a bunch of loud unnecessary noise to pollute kids minds.

[iWantTheMustard]

@bgshort99 are you retarded?

[bgshort99]

@iWantTheMustard lol..no, the pmrc is awesome. i hate rock music, the only good music is classical..rock music has destroyed the country. it has made a lot of young men rape and murder women. it causes kids to disrespect their parents.

[iWantTheMustard]

@bgshort99 you cant be any more wrong, its lyrical interpretation, watch the full video of dee snider and its obvious that the pmrc interprets the lyrics in the worst way possible and how can they make you do anything its just words. i guarantee you none of the rapes in america are due to the fact of listening to a rock song, go away, you really are retarded

[SnakesBlues]

Do you hear what I hear?

Doors are slamming shut

Limit your imagination, keep you where they must

Do you feel what I feel?

Bittering distress

Who decides what you express?

Do you take what I take?

Endurance is the word

Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd

[prodirockerd]

@SnakesBlues eye of the beholder?

[ilikezelda64]

The PMRC - the Thing that Definetly Shouldn't ever have Been.

[expectador]

Just be good fucking parents or be a decent enough human being in order to ask yourself: Are you responsible enough to be a parent? If the answer is 'no' or 'not yet' then make sure you don't have kids 'til your ready to fucking raise them. If you bring up a child as a secure human being into this world than no one will take advantage of him whether it'll be to sell him drugs or stupid pointless music or to sell him shit at Walmart and that will be your greatest legacy.

[Megadethmegadethfan1]

censorship wtf i think katy perry wearing cup cakes boobs and being half naked then she shoots wipe cream from her nipples is worse for the kids what kida role models is that.

[SnakesBlues]

@Megadethmegadethfan1 yeah but thats not subliminal,i just wanna fuck katy perry

[SARockMusicChick]

Dee is brillant!

[666slayer666ful]

PMRC pussy motherfuckers robbing creativity

[666slayer666ful]

pmrc pussy motherfuckers robbing creativity those cocksucking politicians give music alot of shit people really do need to grow the fuck up and not use metal as a scapegoat for suicide and murder dont blame the musicians for making good music

[krayter]

@666slayer666ful i fucking

agree motherfucker

[Rageaholic1983]

Im just glad I dont live in america :). But I feel with you poor chaps that actually have a mind of your own. Fight the system, and FUCK PMRC !

[guitarzilla100]

Fuck the one douchebag who disliked this

[faceurhell]

I always lol that Slayer's Season in the Abyss has a PMRC sticker has-despite having a single swear word. Apparently it got the sticker because of "gory imagery"-which there is really minimal of.

[megadethendgame]

I don't like Metallica, but that sticker's fucking funny

[Phant0mAssass1n]

@megadethendgame fucking megadeth. how can you not like the old school albums?

[megadethendgame]

@Phant0mAssass1n I like old-school albums, back in the eighties and new albums also. I said I didn't like Metallica, not old-school metal.

[blackwhimsy]

John Denver was the clincher in the fight against the PMRC. They didn't expect a 'clean' performer' to be so against censorship!

[metz3962]

Ian and Snider are right 100%

Those PMRC women should have an orgasm once in a while.

[railwayman95]

The PMRC is dead now! Tipper and Al have faded away. Its now the Christian Right, Social Conservatives, the Glen Beckistans and the Sarah Palin's of today that musicians have to watch their backs for!

[sigfurt]

al gore skuffer. han har sikkert blitt voksen nå da. scott ian er ql

[Xnothinbetter2dewX]

Scott got Iron Maiden shoes!!!! UP THE IRONS!!!! and FUCK you Tipper Gore

[jimmymcclukcluk]

I cant believe there are pansies out there saying "FU** the PMRC! " You're giving into them, say what you mean, FUCK THE PMRC!

[thebeautifulman69]

@jimmymcclukcluk i liked tipper gore and censorship is sometimes a good thing.

[metal134]

@thebeautifulman69

That's bullshit. Your kind is dangerous. Not Dee Snider or Ozzy Osbourne, you.

[thebeautifulman69]

@jimmymcclukcluk i support censorship and love the pmrc :P

[jacobladders]

@jimmymcclukcluk uh yeah they are saying FUCK THE PMRC is because musicians are being told what to write in their music so no people who say fuck the pmrc are not pansies they have their own matter of opinion on what they want to hear and listen to maybe you should to instead of saying let's not talk about it

[jimmymcclukcluk]

@jacobladders I'm afraid you misunderstood me. I was speaking out against individuals who were censoring themselves, which is precisely what the PMRC aims to do. I was enticing individuals to take a stand and say what they really mean without holding back. Once more, I boldly state: FUCK THE PMRC!

[007Mechanix]

Fu#$ The PMRC!

[shaboobo1988]

FU** THE P.M.R.C

[EL41591]

they could have talked to some better rappers.

[88fanforlife]

censorship is the dumbest fucking concept know to man. im 16 years old and one day i went to a music store to buy a cd and it was stone sour come whatever may, and i've heard a lot more bad things than what was on this record and just because im not 18 they wouldnt sell me the cd, the only reason these dumb cunts did this is because they dont know how to raise their kids

[thebeautifulman69]

@88fanforlife censorship is a good thing. too many kids have killed themselves or other kids after listening to the wrong kind of music.

[mspoden2011]

Good one troll

[smurfman95]

@thebeautifulman69 damn someone give this guy some Priest, Mercyful Fate, Ozzy and Maiden cuz this mofo right here needs to taste a barrel.its not the music its overly protetive and coservative parents and authoritative figures. think about it hippie music had the same rebellious tones kids wernt blowing their heads off cuz no one gave a shit but once the angrier sound came in they flipped shit cuz it got too loud

[SnakesBlues]

@88fanforlife glad to know im not the only one who buys original cds

[thrashmetalseizure]

@88fanforlife

seriously,

i went to go buy the same cd but refused because it was "amended"

what crap,,,

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrr!



[jacobladders]

@88fanforlife I CAN SEE YOUR POINT VERY CLEARLY I WENT TO BORDERS BOOKS AND MUSIC IN THE GARDEN STATE PLAZA IN PARAMUS NEW JERSEY TO BUY A RAP ALBUM FROM THE ARTIST RAEKWON A MEMBER FROM THE WU-TANG CLAN CALLED ONLY BUILT FOR CUBAN LINX I WAS 16 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME GOING BACK NOW 14 YEARS AGO I WENT AND BROUGHT THE CD UP TO THE REGISTER FOR CHECKOUT AND THE CASHIER ASKED ME IF I WAS 18 I JUST LOOKED AT HER AND SAID NO, THEREFORE SHE REFUSED TO SELL THE ALBUM TO ME BECAUSE IT WAS STICKERED

[SeanCarols00]

Ian Scott is right about one thing. PMRC was a bunch of housewifes who had too much time on their hands.

Although here's where he's wrong.

The parents have got all the responsibility for their children, yes.

But even if you're a great parent your kid can still be messed up due to some other psycologic malfunction. People can missinterpret lyrics about provacative themes like suicide and murder. You can't allways blame their parents. That's not fair.

[Spankeedoodle]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[ThePsalmOfLydia]

@BaronvonBlutwurst Yes but that's not the artist's fault,if one has some type of mental disorder such as depression or mania or whatever,they will-without any doubt-misinterprate the lyrics.It's like blaming Nietzsche's theory of Overman for what Hitler did to humanity.Hitler was just crazy.
