What do you guys think? I thought this deserved it's own post since it is an interesting topic.

Oldman said My Chemical Romance glamourised suicide or something like that because of a lyric they have that says 'blade' which apparently means razor blade.

My Chemical Romance aren't exactly one of my favorite bands but I've seen them live and they were pretty awesome. I don't really understand how their music is depressing though as it's incredibly upbeat.

One song I love is an old Ozzy song that caused a huge controversy when it was released - Suicide Solution.

I'm quite positive Ozzy was hoping this would happen. It's great publicity for a band - even though he didn't need any.

Ozzy was taken to court by the parents of a boy who killed himself. The boy had depression but his parents decided it was easier to blame Ozzy.

The song was about alcoholism. "Wine is fine but whiskeys quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor, Take a bottle and drown your sorrows
Then it floods away tomorrows."

The song also featured the lyric: "Where to hide, suicide is the only way out - Dont you know what its really about".

Ozzy didn't write the song but he still got sued twice for it.

Does it glamourise suicide? I listen to the song all the time and never think about suicide. I certainly don't feel suicidal listening to it. Mainly I'm in awe of Randy Rhodes' awesome guitar solo.

Yet when I listen to the Bye bye by Mariah Carey or any depressing song , yeah i feel sad depressed and sorry for myself but then I never think of commiting suicide.

I really have a strong passion for music and everytime I seek out music that suits my mood.

I don't think bands should be blamed for these ones because f we're going to blame bands why don't we blame every band that has a song that makes people cry or feel depressed?


Why do we always have to blame rock bands?
aice 4ever Rocker.. naks

I so fell in love with this song it just simply talks about life before.. i think life before was way far better than now...

kakamiss and eheads!
