Goofs

Dunn also mentions the "Filthy 15", a list of artists with lyrics considered obscene in one of a number of ways. Sam mentions that, of the 15, 8 are metal bands- he has miscounted. Upon reviewing the list, Danish black metal band Mercyful Fate make the list but bump the count to 9 bands. They are also not highlighted like the other metal bands sharing spots on the list.

Quotes

Blasphemer: Could you repeat the question?

Share this

Bruce Dickinson: It gives them an alternative universe. It gives them a life of imagination through which they can view music and it usually inspires a lot of them to pick up a guitar and start playing.

Share this

Tom Morello: It's a negation of the world as it's handed to you. It says, this daily existence of this boring-ass high school and this dead-end Dairy Queen job, just no. This is something that's mine and that I own, and fuck you; I won't do what you tell me.
