EDIT: Ok, I take it you guys don't want to check out Skrewdriver. It's fine music and your loss, but suit yourself.

Ian Stuart (RIP) created some of the greatest pro-white music ever.
You gotta be kidding me!
You fucking think this is some skinhead board for whites only?
Keep your narrowminded rubbish to yourself if you want to post here. That goes for everybody else who wants to spread their hate propaganda.

You people are f'ing losers.. I've seen shows about these groups & the music is always crappy bands like this & it's unemployed southerners following them & their messege. It's a disgrace to even call it punk not only because of it's insidious content but also for it's awful musicianship. They can play 2 chords about as well as a 12 year old.
You probably live in the most rural of areas in the middle of some redneck woods complaining about how people of other races and cultures are coming in and taking jobs.. Well I live in the city and work with them, and would rather work with them than your lazy, complaining ass. You sit around and talk all 'Tough Tony" about how your gonna start some revolution when all you'll ever do is talk and listen to crappy music.
This band probably sucks ass and personally I'd rather just see this thread deleted.
Now take your ball and get the hell out of Dodge, Sissy boy.

If you don't like the songs' messages, then hear the music, at least; it's all first class punk rock at its finest. Here are my favorite Skrewdriver songs.
None of the songs I recommended could be seen as racist except White Power, which is more of a statement of pride than hate.

Now THIS sounds like hate. It's a personal attack on me. As for the 2 chords, well, you obviously aren't a punk fan. I'm usually a metal fan, but Skrewdriver has impressed me so much I thought I'd share it with you. As for "probably" sucks ass: have you even heard them before? You're judging the music before even hearing it? Meh.
I wonder what you think of One In A Million, one of GnR's best songs.

The old "One In A Million" excuse...?
Axl wrote lyrics a song so it's ok to hate people based on their skin color.?
Please... Don't dare to compare GN'R to these "white power" bands.

What kind of audience does this band have?
Would Frank play drums for them??

Well, most fans are neo-Nazis, but lots of neo-Nazis like Slayer too, so that's not saying much. Hell, One In A Million has more hate than 90% of Skrewdriver songs.
You should also know Skrewdrivers first album is completely, 100% classic punk. It was only later the band became a white-pride band. Regardless, almost all of Skrewdriver's music is great.

This Walk person doesn't come across as the most openminded person on this board.
Then when I see a thread about this band, well it seems like the music fits the views....
A lot of people liked Saddam Hussein, but that doesn't mean we have to praise him.

A lot of people don't like me, but that doesn't mean you have to insult my taste in music.
Strange that I'm not considered "openminded" here, but this is the first non-metal band I've mentioned in a while. Admit it, you guys love me as a closed-minded metalhead, don't you?

Bit of an overreaction on here really. I think Walk was only trying to say this is a cool sounding band. Do you all stop listening to GN'R Lies when it gets to track 8? Or do you think like me "ok so it's got connotations, but it's a really good song so I'll enjoy it anyway". At the end of the day I don't think anyone would come here and start a thread about a band if they intended to stir racial hatred
I think White Power's a pretty shit kind of subject to be singing about, but every other colour and creed seem to be able to get away with it.
And no I've never listened to Skrewdriver

There are definitely some Rage Against The Machine and John Lennon fans here, though. Commies get their free speech, and the scary thing is, they're taken seriously. I see Che Ghevara on a lot of tee shirts here as a fasion statement, but a swastika is a hate symbol, even though its original meaning was peaceful, and Che is always hateful.

Ironically I believe they started off as a Stones cover band, a band which owes a lot to black American mucisians, more so than many punk rock acts. They were called "Tumbling Dice" I believe.

Didnt Skrewdriver initially start, and release one album, as a punk rock band? I remember reading that the singer left because of the bands increasing interest with White Power so they recruited a new, pro-White Power singer.

You got it backwards. The band broke up and the singer got together some pro-white musicians to reform it.

Look everyone to their own, and if it makes you happy to listen to that then thats fine with me. I just think that Walk must have expected some reaction from this post like what he is getting.
However lets be honest even if the music is the best music in the world the message they are sending out through their Lyrics is purposely controversial and i dont wanna to give them the satisfaction of my time. Coz i just dont agree with them.
However if they are a band that you like to listen to then thats great for you its always good to find a new band you like.
I'm no expert on Screwdriver or their lyrics . . but i've heard them a few times and to be honest even if they were singing axl's lyrics i just think they suck. Sorry Walk.

I expected a few people to not like them, but I didn't expect the reactionary flood that came my way. Lyrics are given too much attention. I hear some people complain that they can't hear the lyrics in death metal sometimes.
