I don't support it at all. It's death metal and the guitar work is vicious. I am in no way racist or homophobic, but I find myself enjoying the actualy music. I can't understand a thing he says anyway. Will I ever buy a shirt? No. A CD? No. But the song "The Purging Fires Of War" is such a good driving song!

Ok, I have a passion for music. I'm going to continue to listen to Skredriver occasionally as I always do but I really don't expect to get called a racist for it. Just as I listen to The Dicks or Big Boys I wouldn't expect to be called a homosexual or listening to Bad Brains a homophobe.

I know I said I wouldn't post in this thread again but this is important. That is exactly how I feel about Skredriver put into "better terms".

Thats another thing Fenix you've said Bad Brains are one of your favorite bands (proof). Kind of having double-standards here aren't ya?

If you like the music, listen to the band. That's what it all comes down to i guess. I love Bad Brains to death, despite their homophobic beliefs. I'd just be denying myself if i didnt listen to them.

I have never listened to Skrewdriver.

Having read this thread through, there is an obvious difference of opinion as to whether listening to a racist band constitutes a person as being racist, or not.

I believe listening to a racist band, does not make that person a racist.
Personally I wouldn't give them the time of day in the first place.

And taking into consideration the fact that fellow moderators have entered the debate with their opinions, I'm going to stay neutral and moderate this thread (and it needs to be) to the letter.

As from now, anyone violating MusicBanter Rules, on this thread, will be dealt with according to those rules.
I strongly recommend reading them thoroughly before posting.

This has got to be the single most idiotic thing I have ever read on this forum. Where are you from, may I ask? Your country? Is it really your country? What gives YOU the right to be there, but not all these black people who are going to mug all the poor innocent white trash like you? Do they have less of a right to be there than some ignorant racist nazi like you? I would rather have my country filled with suicidal radical muslim extremists than you any day of the week.

Getting paid for nothing?

Are there not any white people on unemployment?
Are there no Asians on unemployment?

You would rather the unemployment money go towards white people than black? Is that what you were trying to say? I'll take a wild guess and say you are from South Africa.

Maybe you are the one that needs to be dragged out and shot.
Coward.

Wow. Bad karma in this thread. I'm outta here.

Having this thread calm down allot, I'm not going to be aggressive or flame anyone, I hope I can sort this out now and continue discussion?

Here it goes, I live In England, UK, I'm not sure about the rest of England, but I know that in Bristol (big country) there are allot of immigrants (some illegal), who just don't go to work and If you were with me I'm quite I could point out a few houses with illegal or non working people in them.

Around in Bristol, there is a place called Easton - That part of town is full of immigrants, mostly Samarians and Jamaicans to my knowledge.
My friend who lives close by has been ganged up on continuously by these black people who drive around with rap blasting out there speakers.
There is also territory gang wars between Jamaicans and Samarians, even though they all immigrated in the last decade - they seem to think its there land.

I go to a school close by, And ill tell you I and my friends have been ganged up on by black people who call us names because we like rock and metal and not rap, they said another word which I didn't even know what that meant until I searched it up on the internet and found it was slang for a white person.

Don't think that where I live its just black people that are like that, because there are white people pretending to be black, here those are stereotyped as "wigger" and "chav (but wears Burberry) and they pretty much do the same, but they were influenced by those immigrants really.

And don't think that I don't have black friends, because that’s not true - I have a few really good friends who are black, but they don't act gangster or call me names for being white when they were the immigrants.

Now guys, do you see my point? - I'm really not a Nazi at all, I don't agree with stopping immigration because without it I wouldn't have some of the friends I have today, I think also UK needed immigrants at one time too. I certainly don't mind a mixed raced country as long as people are going to respect the country and the rules, and here we don't rape people or live in ghetto or some imaginary world where we are gangstas. Even still, Skrewdriver has some good songs, and if I want to listen to it, I shouldn't be called a Nazi for it.

Now if anyone doesn't like me listening to Skrewdriver, then so be it - but there are people who want to listen to this band without being called racists, I do believe that if I went into the rap forum I could find a load of racist black singers.

Now let's stop this arguing and flaming if you wouldn't mind, I will even apologise if it goes both ways, Hope that has cleared things up a bit.

Sorry Winter, but it is no surprise you listen to this band, I mean looking at your sig, you are obviously sacrilidgous so please don't say things liek that about my god..., But in your defence listening to "Satanist" bands preaching about how good their god is compared to other people's gods, it doesn't mean you're a follower of Satan... It merely means that you liek the music

right-track

I'm going to ask a stupid question here. What Satanist band are you talking about?

By the way Winter has already said he isn't racist.
