Muzica rock e folosita pentru tortura

(Drowning Pool – Bodies)

Am citit pe un site ca a fost lansata o campanie ce doreste sa opreasca muzica rock din a fi folosita in tortura la interogatorii din Irak, Afganistan si Guantanamo Bay. Cica muzica data la un nivel foarte mare era (este?) folosita in aceste scopuri. Printre formatiile  rock a caror muzica a fost folosita pentru tortura se numara AC/DC, Metallica, Rage Against The Machine si Nine Inch Nails dar si pop: Britney Spears (categoric ar merge la mine). Se spune ca melodiile cele mai folosite pentru astfel de practici ar fi:

Metallica – “Enter Sandman”
Drowning Pool – “Bodies”
AC/DC – “Shoot to Thrill” and “Hell’s Bells”
Barney and Friends – “I Love You”
Bruce Springsteen – “Born in the USA”
Sesame Street – “Theme Song”
Nine Inch Nails – “March of the Pigs” and “Mr. Self-Destruct”
Queen – “We are The Champions”
Rage Against The Machine – “Killing in the Name Of”

Declaratii cu privire la aceste informatii:

-Basistul Drowning Pool, Stevie Benton: “I take it as an honor to think that perhaps our song could be used to quell another 9/11 attack or something like that.”

-James Hetfield (Metallica): “Part of me is proud is because they chose Metallica … And then part of me is kind of bummed about it that people worry about us being attached to some political statement because of that.”
