Does any one here think they are satanic? i was tlaking to some one and i said some thing aobut them, and they were like, oh, you shouldnt listen to them, they are satanic. Does any one else believe this. i know that they are not christian.

If you do believe this, can you show some proof to support that? beisdes the lyrics to the song Chop Suey.

I don't see how a band that has a song about a pogo stick can be anything but satanic.

haha read any of their lyrics
not too many songs have a purpose

and i don't think they are Satanic
just listen to Boom not too many Satanic bands have anti-war/anti-government songs

No, they are not satanic.. :)

More bands should follow their lead and write songs such as Boom. Anyone seen the music video for it? The facts they display are very interesting.

that's where i first heard the song igor, i IMMEDIATELY downloaded it after that, good song. i dont think they are satanic, they just know what they're doing, they make good music, and the lyrics they come up with prove that they are very talented.

I think they're more like a political type band. The only band that may be considered satanic would be Godsmack. Their band name came from the song "Godsmack" by Alice In Chains. But in an interview with a magazine(can't remember which one) it was said that Sully Erna(lead vocals) is the priest of a satanic church. However, I found an interview with Sully and it says he practices Wicca(which pre-dates christianity) so the other one could have been propaganda.
Here's the link Interview with Sully (http://www.nyrock.com/interviews/godsmack_int.htm)

Yes, System of a Down is more of a Political Band, when I first bought the CD I did not expect some of their songs to contain lyrics like it did, talking about a bunch of political shit, and was very suprised. They are a very good band. I think the only other band that was about the same was Rage Against the Machine, but they are no more. I can't remember what band the lead singer went to though, I'm sure his new band is about the same on Politics.

I think people assume things too easy, like Insane Clown Posse, i bet most people think they are devil worshippers, I know I did at first, but I proved myself wrong when one day I heard a backwards lyric in their song and decided to see what it said, to my shock it said something about "Fuck the Devil..." And then recently I was talking to a die hard ICP fan and found out a little more about them, and found out that they were preaching this whole time.

Is it just me or most Mods are against the war...Then again more power to SOAD for coming out with a song like that

IMHO Rage was just a bunch of whiney guys who wanted something to complain about...there are other bands who are far more devoted to the "cause" then them...

I do beleive the band you are thinking of is Audioslave. They are the former lead singer from Soundgarden with the rest of RATM. An absolutely awesome band, and a personal favourite of mine. If you're wanting some samples, get I am the highway and Like a stone - 2 great songs.

As for SOAD, I love the band and don't think they're satanic at all. I think Cocaine is the followup to Chop Suey. They just don't take their lyrics as seriously as other bands...

Godsmack is fuckin awesome. I love all of their music, whether they are satanic or not.

I use to love Godsmack too, and I still like them, they're music just sounds too similar to me. Each song sounds like they have samples from other songs. Anyways, still an awesome band though, but I think I'll stick Alice In Chains for me:D .

What style are they exactly? Now days its almost like there's two categories of music: Hip Hop and Pop. I tend to put Godsmack into Hard Rock category myself. I myself like Hard Rock the most!

I myself consider them hard rock, almost metal, that's the music that I like most, can't stand much hip hop or rap, or pop, just rock.

Prison song almost seems like a political song too, supratuner, all their songs rock:sun:

AND I'm going to miss the chance to see Audioslave live (btw Oz, fuck you for going :finger: j/k :p)

SOAD isn't satanic, they're anti-religious. Kinda doesn't fit with me, but I still like some of their stuff. Spiders and Chic 'n' Stu are definately my favourites, Boom is good too.

no, SOAD is not satanic, but they do rock. The worst news though is that they're taking a 2 year hiatus cause they were getting so popular. They don't want make the same mistake that Nirvana and Metallica and many other bands have made.

And I personally like them cause they have amazing lyrics that never fall flat and they're very anti-war and killing. And oh yeah Rage rocks and their new band sucks compared to them.

Haha.... looks like it. I got a chance to talk to a father of an 18 year old soldier in the 101st Airborne. He is a very educated man - PhD in chemistry, and he is also strongly in opposition to this war..... trust me man, there are more people against the war than you think.....


p.s. let's not have another debate about war in this thread.
Mods - please nuke any posts that try to reply to this post as I was just addressing a statement already made earlier in the topic, and not trying to start a debate here. Anyone who wants a debate go to the Politics forum.

No. I don not. System of a Down, IMO, are lyrical geniuses. There lyrics are eaningful if you really just listen and interpret what they are saying. Take chop suey for instance: If you listen hard, they clearly speak out agaist self-righteous suicide, or killing yourself for a good purpose. I believe the song was written in relation to 9/11. Thants my 2 cents.

Haven't ever listened to SOAD to my knowledge, as for the "satanic" thing, who cares? Furthermore, has anyone noticed that most "satanic" bands/people are less interested in the "satan" aspect of things than they are in pissing off the Christian Right? They want to create controversy, as all press is good press, especially when it comes to youth who want to piss off their parents.

Also, it seems that a lot of people assume that anyone aetheist, anti-religion, anti-Christian, anti-Mormon, etc., is satanist. In fact, most people falling into that category don't believe in Satan at all.

i think that soad are anarchists. and in my experience i have never met an anarchist who was satanic, most are aetheist.
to my knowledge godsmack is wiccan not satanic, and i would say they are the only true representation of real rock that exists right now.

there used to be a hardcore set of punk bands who only played music to influence general population

Against IE the Establishment as they used to call it. That was an interesting documentary.

:o other than that. These days if a band takes interest in politcal affairs i don't think that a large majority of people would A) particullarly care or B) understand to a large extent or be easily influence or put up fierce pressure against such action without studying the beliefs

needless to say i'd probably ignore it.

I can't understand most of the lyrics in system of a down's songs anyway

OK. In the last day or two, OT has been experiencing a number of problems, including:

-People bringing up LOTS of old threads for the purpose of postwhoring. One particular member has been banned. Do not do this. If you want discussion from active OT members on a topic you encounter that is 3 months or more old, start a new thread!

-People voting in OLD polls. Do not do this either as it brings meaningless threads up to the top. It floods COT for the regular users with things that they don't want to read.

Please give as much consideration as possible to other OT users.

Mods - feel free to add your thoughts and guidelines. If you want to discuss this thread, feel free - start a new one.
