Slayer - Controversy With New Song
Slayer have sparked controversy with a new track about 9/11 from the terrorists' viewpoint. The California foursome were fed up with other bands' American perspective of the attacks on New York and Washington DC in 2001, so they wrote their own unique version. Guitarist/songwriter Jeff Hanneman has angered September 11th victims' families with the extremist angled track 'Jihad', which will be featured on their new album.
Guitarist Kerry King says, "In America every band under the sun has written their 9/11 song. And that's why I didn't want to have any part of it, but this is really cool. It kind of has an 'Angel Of Death' feel because it doesn't condemn anyone or say that anyone's right or wrong."

Slayer surely deserves my respect for being politically incorrect.

My friend told me about this song, i thought it was pretty cool, and that it would be sorta cool to read the lyrics and listen to the song, and after hearing it has an Angel Of Death feel to it, it should be a good entertaining song.

Come September we'll be five years down the road since that tragic event. Enough time for folks to heal and get on with their lives. As long as Slayer is doing this because they truly feel what they wrote, then I see nothing wrong with it. And to quote Kerry King, "it doesn't condemn anyone or say that anyone's right or wrong." That's good enough for me.

Slayer's lyrics makes me cry.  I wonder if Fox News will ever jump on this topic after the album comes out to present their opinions on the subject as if it were facts.

Isn't it ironic how we went there to fight and give the Iraqis freedom. The right to do what they want without fear, and yet, Slayer will probably get shit for doing this.
