According to The Pulse of Radio, PEARL JAM, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE guitarist Tom Morello and NINE INCH NAILS are among the musical acts that demanded on Thursday (October 22) that the U.S. government release the names of songs that were played at deafening volume for hours or days on end to torture prisoners since 2002, according to the Washington Post. Dozens of musicians supported the filing of a Freedom of Information Act by the National Security Archive, which seeks to declassify all records related to the use of music in so-called "enhanced interrogation" practices.
Tom Morello said in a statement, "The fact that music I helped create was used in crimes against humanity sickens me. We need to end torture and close Guantanamo now."
Roseanne Cash, country singer and daughter of the late Johnny Cash, told the Post, "Music should never be used as torture . . . It's beyond the pale. It's hard to even think about."
Other artists throwing their names behind the campaign to release the songs include R.E.M., Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt and Steve Earle. The artists just want to find out which songs were used, and will explore any possible legal options once that is learned.
The same artists have also launched a new lobbying effort to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center, where much of the torture under the Bush Administration took place. The Obama Administration ended the use of torture as an interrogation technique on the President's second day in office, although it may prove difficult to close the camp down by the end of his first year in office, as promised in the 2008 campaign.
METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich appeared as a guest on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" last April 27 (see video below), where Maddow asked Ulrich how he felt about METALLICA's music being used to psychologically torture prisoners of war. "There is a lot of METALLICA music that's helping a lot of scared 18, 19 and 20-year-old kids out there who are out on the front lines and who are doing a hell of a job on behalf of you and me and the rest of us," he said. "But obviously when you hear stories like the one you're telling, it all seems so bizarre and so strange that METALLICA's music, which generally sort of facilitates bringing people together, is used in these bizarre circumstances. It's certainly not something that we in any way advocate or condone."
Suzanne G. Cusick, a professor at New York University who has studied the use of music as torture, told the Post, "Sound at a certain level creates sensory overload and breaks down subjectivity and can (bring about) a regression to infantile behavior. Its effectiveness depends on the constancy of the sound, not the qualities of the music."
Jayne Huckerby, a research director at the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice, affirmed that the prolonged use of loud music to control or coerce prisoners is a violation of the U.N. Convention Against Torture, to which the U.S. is a party, and constitutes both torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.
The German-language television network 3SAT spoke to METALLICA guitarist/vocalist James Hetfield last year about the use of METALLICA's music to torture Guantanamo Bay, Cuba prisoners. "Part of me is proud is because they chose METALLICA," Hetfield said about the reports that the band's song "Enter Sandman" was used during the interrogation of Mohammed al-Qahtani — known as the 20th hijacker on Sept. 11 — and that listening to the track brought al-Qahtani to tears "because he thought he was hearing the sound of Satan." James added, "It's strong; it's music that's powerful. It represents something that they don't like — maybe freedom, aggression… I don't know… freedom of speech. And then part of me is kind of bummed about it that people worry about us being attached to some political statement because of that. We've got nothing to do with this and we're trying to be as apolitical as possible, 'cause I think politics and music, at least for us, don't mix. It separates people, [and] we wanna bring people together. So, so be it. I can't say 'Stop.' I can't say 'Do it.' It is just a thing — it's not good or bad."

- thirteen-plus years of going to Lanegan-related gigs (inc his first ever UK solo show, Screaming Trees, Masters Of Reality tour, a bunch of MLB shows, Twilight Singers shows, various QoTSA shows, Soulsavers etc) - various website contributions - organisation of a fan Q&A with Van Conner - several meetings with Mark Lanegan - an in-depth knowledge of Lanegan's many projects - being a knowledgable Dulli fan before Lanegan began working with him - provider of reviews and info for raeni for onewhiskey.com - a background of working in Music & Music Technology and the ability to eloquently convey my opinions, the courage of my convictions and the ability to offer intelligent conversation... ...then i am wondering what qualifications i am missing. i dont have any feeling of superiority because of this, but i KNOW i can offer longterm viewpoints and a good knowledge. ;D oh my fucking god did you just post a Mark Lanegan resume? I thought I had seen it ALL !!! sorry we are not hiring at the moment........

excellent tactical avoidance of my comments, JP and S. solitude, i dont know why you attempt to turn this into a personal attack on myself and my (excellent) work. maybe you've caught it from JP and his seemingly fair 'arrogant prick' comment aimed at me the other day. i will clarify a couple of points publicly because you have brought them up in public: you know nothing about my work, or me. when i describe learners as 'idiotic', i am being facetious and lighthearted in reference to the fact that i teach some of the most difficult, disengaged, pre-L1 learners in the 16-19 age group in the UK. it's quite a job, believe me, so i get frustrated sometimes. on top of that, i am talking about teaching them music, a subject they know nothing about. it's quite hard, but i actually manage to stand up in front of those kids and inspire and interest them on a regular basis. that's no mean feat. anyway.. again.. thanks for jumping on something totally irrelevant to the many points i raised, just like i stated you probably would. as i say, 'tactical avoidance'. this issue is not personal to me, it's just a debate on opinions - im not going to hate someone because of it. antiyou's contribution was really interesting and i am genuinely interested in how he/she feels about what i said in reply. it's an exchange of valid viewpoints. also, Solitude, if (as you sarcastically imply) you dont think im an asset to this Mark Lanegan music forum despite: - thirteen-plus years of going to Lanegan-related gigs (inc his first ever UK solo show, Screaming Trees, Masters Of Reality tour, a bunch of MLB shows, Twilight Singers shows, various QoTSA shows, Soulsavers etc) - various website contributions - organisation of a fan Q&A with Van Conner - several meetings with Mark Lanegan - an in-depth knowledge of Lanegan's many projects - being a knowledgable Dulli fan before Lanegan began working with him - provider of reviews and info for raeni for onewhiskey.com - a background of working in Music & Music Technology and the ability to eloquently convey my opinions, the courage of my convictions and the ability to offer intelligent conversation... ...then i am wondering what qualifications i am missing. i dont have any feeling of superiority because of this, but i KNOW i can offer longterm viewpoints and a good knowledge. again, can we forget whatever your problems are with me and just get back to the relevant, provocative and interesting on-topic points i raised in my previous post? it would be a shame if the interesting and worthwhile exchange of opinions with antiyou was lost in a mess of 2 or 3 people thinking i must be a horrible person because i don't like something that they think is good. you did not address me in your post sweetypie, you addressed specific people so I figured I would let THEM answer your questions, welcome back

According to FMQB, the first single from THEM CROOKED VULTURES — which consists of FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl on drums, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE singer/guitarist Josh Homme and LED ZEPPELIN bass player John Paul Jones — is called "New Fang" and it will arrive at radio stations on Monday, October 26. The band's self-titled debut album will be in stores on November 17 via Interscope Records.
Quality fan-filmed video footage of THEM CROOKED VULTURES performing the song "New Fang" on October 11, 2009 at the House of Blues in Boston, Massachusetts can be viewed below (courtesy of "HowellKenny").
THEM CROOKED VULTURES officially kicked off its first North American tour on October 5 in Nashville. The group has been the subject of furious international buzz since making its official live debut on August 9 in Chicago.
FOO FIGHTERS drummer Taylor Hawkins told The Pulse of Radio he's heard the VULTURES' record and likes it. "It's really great," he said. "I'm really proud of Dave, and I think he's having a real blast not having to shake his booty at the front of the stage for a while, you know?"
THEM CROOKED VULTURES taped a performance for the Austin City Limits TV program on September 30.
Several short clips of both live and studio performances by the trio have already surfaced on YouTube.

Why even bother, Marc? It's not even just this topic, which has some heels-dug-in passionate support from people who are bonding over this tour, these opinions have been said for YEARS ! open your eyes steffers ahh insulting people again are you? ac/dc fans lack the ability to reason? That seems judgemental of a mental giant such as yourself, maybe you should stop wasting your time here and go cure cancer or something hey? here is an idea.......GO OUTSIDE, there is sun and flowers and kittens and everything. Its amazing you can put yourself in the exact same headspace as Mark when he wrote those songs......its like YOU were there, its truly uncanny that you have such an ability and the rest of the world just walks in their brainless fog, you probably blame marilyn manson for the columbine shootings too? You my dear are special....YOU LIVE IT yes yes the whole world is crazy except you, those queens of the stoneage ruined everything with there brainless rock and roll......are you really serious? Some very normal people can get together and play some dungeons and dragons, the kooks are the ones who dress up like orcs and ride there bicycles with a battle axe strapped to their breastplates, and if the mentality is sooooooo bad find a new place to roam, I am sure there is a budda forum you could post at yes we are very interesting in an ant farm sort of way yes? ahhhh look what those silly humans are doing now ahhhahahahahahahaha, so funny they are, when will they ever realize? you think very highly of yourself, I apologize freud made no mention of how to quote proerly on an internet forum
