A Note From Scott... | 4/21/2004
"I'm disgusted with the music industry. Since making my last record two years ago, I've encountered more censorship in the past three months than in ten active years with S.T.P. Let's hear it for the lambs! Censorship Is Naziism"

Could this be about them possibly having trouble airing the video because of the guns in it?

I thought it was really odd, but that actually makes a lot of sense.  I wonder ...

No it has to do with clean edits of the record.

The "clips" that they are showing aren't shots for the slither video. The video is about a girl finding her way to a rave in a catacomb.

sure? 'cuz on the show erlier today on norwegian TV they showed some flashing clips and it had a case with velvet thingie inside and a in it.. and they said it was the video...

but what do they know?

Its 1987 all over again!
Thats when the most controversial band (GNR) put out one of the most controversial records ever (AFD). It was a time when music was sweet like candy on many fronts, and music didn't push the envelope with sound, image and lyrical content.
Im not putting VR at that level in 2004. I just think that Slash and co. may have another thing up their sleeves to thumb their noses at the industry and PMRCC and demonstrate that you can't stop a great music record - even when it offends Tipper Gore!
Slash and Co. know how to do it.
Scott Weiland and STP had their own provacations in the 1990s. He's a master at pushing the envelope, arguabl;y one of the best since Axl.

LETS GO VR
MNR

Who says you have to do clean edits of your songs?

The record company?

I wish I had a clue as to what Weiland is talking about... ???

Me 2 :beer:

Quite a deep thinker! Lock Axl and Scott up in a room and watch the sparks fly! Nazism...Communism...Shut the fuck up and sing you morons. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

You know what I think about it? Actually there's a big wave of false-moralism on the world, I mean, a lot of hypocrisy goin' on...

Well i don't know about you guys, but that cleared it up for me  :rofl:

I think he just tries to make it seem like he has something to say.  Its hip these days to portray yourself as a tortured misunderstood poet.

Explain this ...

"Let's hear it for the lambs!"

WTF??

Are the lambs anti-nazis ?

Has Scott made friends with some lambs who're fighting Censorship ?

Or am I just ignorant .. that sentence makes perfect sense.

 ::)


Although Im clueless as to what Weiland is talking about specifically, that "lamb" comment is certainly sarcastic.

I agree, I think that comment is sarcastic. I think he means that people who are pro-sensorship are like a herd of sheep, who are afraid to change the system. Maybe? Possibly? Ah...I dont know.

I agree that the lamb part was being said sarcastically.

There's a saying that goes something like this..."like a lamb being led to slaughter."  Maybe that's what he meant by lambs.   :-\
