If you could pick ONE angry song, what would it be?

[JetBlack69]

Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the name of

 

[AdamDuritz99]

Smashing Punkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings

peace
sean

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Method Man and Redman - Cereal Killer

The first verse:

Slowly I turn, step by step
Through the back window, I crept
Silent as a mouse on the set
While everybody in the house slept
I disconnect the phones and the rest
Find a butcher knife, cut the power lines to the lights
Now a awesome dude wild for the night
I come like the livin dead, straight from the dirt
Back to avenge his own death on this earth
Ever hear of Jason? Then you know my work
Down to the basement, the dog get it first
I can't help myself, my thoughts ain't my own
The voices in my head just won't leave me alone
Murda murda murda, kill kill kill
Pissin on the car seats, flattenin the wheels
So there's no escape from the fate that awaits
No one to witness the horror takin place
Yea! Now I'm on my way up the stairs
To the bedroom of my prey unaware
Heads will be hung from the chimney with care
with hopes that the police soon will be here
I'm a KILLER!

Edit: Either that or Everlasting Gaze by Smashing Pumpkins.

I'd have to say anything slipknot! especially wait and bleed. and I can't understand why people listen to that licking park sh!t.

 

[TheWart]

a scary song and vid imho is Mudvayne's Dig. those guys are freaky, but don't know enough about them to know if it is Manson-esque glam tactics or real darkness that drives them...

 

[hungrygoose]

mudvayne-dig
NIN-starf*ckers
NIN-closer
static x-bled for days
slipknot-wait and bleed
anything SOAD sings
metallica-one
that pantera song on the dracula 2000 cd....i think it was called avoid the light
disturbed-the entire down with the sickness album
limp bizcit blows chunx
tool-prison sex, 11, learn to swim
.......
these were just to name a few

 

[deftron]

Eyehategod - My Name Is God (I Hate You)

 

[Jhill]

Tool-Anema
or
A perfect circle-Judith (it's the singer from Tool on a different project)

NIN uses one of the most hateful lyrics ive ever heard and their music is just as chiling

[Infos]

I always liked "If I Had a Rocket Launcher".....some son of a bitch would die



ps apparently he has just released a new CD
with a compilation (a good one) of his hits

 

[torque2k]

<< Disturbed - Down With The Sickness >>



Oh, yeah, ditto there. Can't wait for a new release from them!!!

Also have to say "Prison Song" from SOAD, and Big Black's "Fists of Love"...

 

[PrelateBishop]

Pantera: Regular People (Conceit)



<< Then so many times
You practice in your mirror
To be just like me
But you just can't see
You ain't got the balls, son


I fight for love of brother
Your friends fight one another
You can't see because your head's up your ass
And just in cast you think you're bad
I crush your rush
I rule YOU fool
I'm immovable stone in your world of weak -- I speak
>>



There are several Pantera songs that deserve honorable mention, but this is my favorite.

 

[Perknose]

Outside of the cartoon world of gangsta' rap, let me put forward these three righteous and poetic examples of anger:

Iris DeMent -- Wasteland of the Free

"We got politicians runnin' races on corporate cash
Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them people's ass
You may call me old fashioned
But that don't fit my picture of a true democracy
Feels like I'm . . . Living in the wasteland of the free"

Neil Young -- Tonight's The Night

The whole damn album is spare, angry and raw. I love it. It was primarily inspired by the death of Young's long time roadie Bruce Berry from a heroin overdose:

"Bruce Berry was a workin' man
He used to load that Econoline, Econolin van
And early in the morning, about the break of dawn
He used to pick up my guitar . . ."

Bob Dylan -- Don't Think Twice, It's Alright

Dylan is cited by sooooo many singer/songwriters as an inspiration/influence. In an unguarded moment, he once called Smokey Robinson America's greatest living poet. Mr. Zimmerman his own damn self gets my vote.

I could have picked Desolation Row or A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall here, but the Dylan song I did pick has the most understated, yet seethingly personal anger any poet could put in a song. Dig:

"Goodbye, so long honey babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word babe
So I'll just say Fare Thee Well

I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You coulda done better, but . . . I don't mind
You just sorta wasted my . . . precious time
But don't think twice, it's alright"

Don't Think Twice, It's Alright also had the all time classic line:

"I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's alright"

Now, that's real anger!!

 

[GTaudiophile]

It would have to be a tie between LL Cool J's "Mama's Gonna Knock You Out" and Oasis' "Don't Look Back in Anger."

 

[Rogue]

All this and only one mention of Rollins Band? C'mon. Not enough listening to Henry and his guys is going on around here.
