"NO THINK, NO PLAN, NO SLEEP"

 

 

 

 

First comes the bell, tolling mournfully. Then a meandering riff redolent with fuzz and feedback, absurdly, idiotically simple and all the more brilliant for it. After feeling about for some seconds, the riff is joined by a pounding rhythm line, and within a few moments here come the vocals - reminiscent of a donkey being

 

 

rudely slaughtered.

 

 

.....

 

 

      "I'm a rolling thunder, pouring rain / I'm comin' on like a hurricane / My lightning's flashing across the sky / You're only young but you're gonna die..."

     

 

 

 

p erh

"So the priests blew the trumpets. As soon as the men heard it, they gave a loud shout, and the walls collapsed. Then all the army went straight up the hill into the city and captured it. With their swords, they killed everyone in the city, men and women, young and old. They also killed the cattle, sheep, and donkeys."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

If rock

is a weapon 

 "I'm gonna take you down / Down down down / So don't you fool around / I'm gonna pull it pull it /Pull the trigger."

 

 

 

U.S. deploys loud music, insults in Fallujah

Associated Press

 

Fallujah, Iraq — In Fallujah's darkened, empty streets, U.S. troops blast AC/DC's Hell's Bells and other rock music full volume from a huge speaker, hoping to grate on the nerves of this Sunni Muslim city's gunmen and give a laugh to marines along the front line.

  

 

 

"These guys don't have a centralized leader; they're just here to fight. I don't see what negotiations are going to do,"

 

WHAT?

 

 

 

 

 

'raq 'n' roll

 

Soldiers take on insurgents with a musical vengeance, cranking up the volume

 

 

 

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives

 

Nobody's putting up a fight

 

I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell

 

I'm gonna get you . . .

 

 While the tanks flattened Fallujah this month, Hell's Bells bombarded the town. Speakers as big as footlockers blared from Humvees' gun turrets. Boom boxes blasted off soldiers' backpacks. As the troops stormed closer, the music got louder. The song changed; the message remained the same.

 

I'm gonna take you down - down, down, down

 

So don't you fool around

 

I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull the trigger

 

Shoot to thrill, play to kill . . .

 

 Louder. Turn it up. LOUDER!

 

 

PSSSSssssss....I'm like evil, I get under your skin

Just like a bomb that's ready to blow

'Cause I'm illegal, I got everything

That all you women might need to know

"These harassment missions work especially well in urban settings like Fallujah," he said. "The sounds just keep reverberating off the walls. "

 

 LET THERE BE NOISE

 

 

 

Aaah aaah aaaaah ah! Aaah aaah aaaaah ah!

 

"...The Army has invested a lot of money into getting speakers that are smaller and more durable, so the men can carry them on their backs."

 

 

Exit, light

 

Enter, night

 

Take my hand

 

We're off to never-never land . . .

 

 

 

 Child's play***

 

 

 

 "Uncooperative prisoners are being exposed for prolonged periods to music from children's TV programmes Sesame Street ...

 

However, Amnesty International said such tactics may constitute torture."

 

I love you

 

You love me

 

We're a happy family

 

With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you

 

Won't you say you love me too!

 

 

 

 "If you play it for 24 hours, your brain and body functions start to slide, your train of thought slows down and your will is broken. That's when we come in and talk to them."

 

 

 Then Hetfield grew serious. He paused for a moment, then said, " ... If I listened to a death metal band for 12 hours in a row, I'd go insane, too. I'd tell you anything you wanted to know."

 

Listen up .
