ETA (finally) - and there's the church burning stuff. i find it hard to condemn that, whoever did it.
thinking about it, I have a british murder boys 12" which features part of the recording from the jonestown massacre. can we assume he's just a bit thick and doesn't think things through properly? 'cause that's proper teen goff dickhead stuff isn't it?that's two strikes (at least) against regis btw. poor show

i'm not suggesting it's problematic so much as being evidence of him being a bit of a crass dickhead rather than sympathetic to the views of boyd and his ilk.I've not heard that before. TBH although it is a bit juvenile it doesn't seem problematic to me in the way the fascist stuff is. It's just shock value, plus a general aggressive tone, it's not trying to influence anyone.

fwiw i love regis' music, and find the aesthetic the BMB went for very appealing. i don't think they were really saying anything though, other than 'this shit is dark & heavy'. which it is.
And who writes forewords to his books and publishes them...This also happened with the Charles Manson stuff (which is now even more cliched than Jonestown). There were people (PTV) who argued they were critiquing both the happy clappy version of the 60s and also the conformist nature of the Manson family (and trying to freak people out). But then you get Amok Press' "The Manson File" which tries to uncritically portray Manson as some kind of groovy psychedelic Nazi messiah. Which is an entry point for hardcore nazis like James Mason into 90s US counter-culture.
Surgeon has also
often played Whitehouse in his sets (to great effect I can attest) and is vocal in supporting
William Bennett over difficulties regarding his alleged racism
It's all these fuckers fault basically. especially that wee guy on the left.
he gets cut a ridiculous amount of slack I think
so what about laibach then? I thought they had good politics?
are there many industrial acts i can listen to without dodge?

Go indie.so what about laibach then? I thought they had good politics?

well no. and I was being a bit provocative but most of the general threads that swirl around
'industrial music and it's relationship to fascism'
are there in TG including the key problem which is the use of extreme imagery without clarity
I thought they (Laibach) were just doing all that marching around and weird uniforms to take the piss out of fash, not to actually be fash themselves. At least thats what I always thought
What about Wumpscut then? I really like most of his stuff but some of his fans are a bit worrying to say the least going by youtube comments etc. I also heard that he was Jewish which puts a different light on what a lot of his songs are about. But in interviews when he's asked about a lot of the messages in his songs he's quite ambivalent about it. Maybe it's because he's been asked that question a few too many times. I dunno.
Because that would be too black and white and we're just interested in the shades, and of blah blahbut there are bands like detroit diesel and fgfc820 who are pretty clear that they are anti-fash and anti-racism. why can't they all be like that?

it's because they're idiot children. Or possibly actual fascists. One or the other though.but there are bands like detroit diesel and fgfc820 who are pretty clear that they are anti-fash and anti-racism. why can't they all be like that?
