"Your political lyrics really made me think Washington is full of liars? You just blew my mind!" God, this describes every goddam lyrics from Havok and some from Megadeth.
Agree, Sorry for responding to old post, but Jesus Christ, Havok plays AWESOME music, but their vocals is just making me wanna take a sledgehammer to my dickhole.typical preachy weedsmoker dellusionized woker than thou vibes
Each Verse and Bridge is about different topics of people taking things too seriously. First its aimed towards thrashers who pick on peopke for not wearing the right atire for thrash, the second is aimed towards black metal chodes trying to be more evil, and the last is to political bands taking polotics too seriously instead of just playing music. Music is to be enjoyed and even do some thinking. But its not a fad. Thrash was trying to end that mindset but it turns out we became the thing we hate. Thank you Lich King
I have admint to the same thing but i got hooked up by Sir Anthony Hopkins headbanging to combat mosh 🤘 now i listened to whole list of songs and csnt get anought of it.
not knocking it (love the song) just think it's funny that its "just be chill with each other. by the way here's why these themes are stupid." gave me a giggle.
This song speaks to me so much as I hate gatekeeping. A good example is how all these kids discovered Master of Puppets because of Stranger Things. People love to razz on them but at least they’re listening to good music. Metal is for the kids!
This is exactly what I have been saying about the scene man. I mainly go to small basement shows now because everyone actually has a good time. So much gate keeping bullshit in metal, it’s ridiculous. Thought this shit was suppose to be about not giving a fuck..
I grew up listing to Hardcore and Thrash in the 80s, so yes I am OLD :) Been to probably +150 shows in my lifetime, and at one point lived a few houses down from Bobby G. (Overkill's guitarist early on in the band's history) in Staten Island. Knew many of those dudes , I was immersed in the "scene" back in the day. It's been refreshing to hear a lot of the new wave of thrash bands like Lich King, they really capture the 80s sound and improve on it. TBH though, I have never really payed attention to the lyrics, not then, not now. I just like the music for what it is, the sound. The way I look at it, I am never going to agree 100% with anyone's views, whether political, etc.., but if the music is good then that is enough for me.
Really? Ive always thought Jhofffilms was poking fun at those kinds of people themselves in sort of a tongue in cheek manner. I dont think the folks at jhofffilms take shit too seriously either
Because Spike said he would beat the shit out of you if he ever saw you on the road? Is that why you pay others to tour your music? Don't want to take a hit to the mouth?
As much as I like the song (and the whole album), I just hate the main punchline of the lyrics. I don't listen to metal because it sounds fun. I listen to metal because it sounds evil, dark, violent, inaccessible and any other similar adjectives. Metal would never have such an impact if it was just fun, ESPECIALLY the extreme genres like thrash where first albums were named "Kill Em All", "Reign in Blood" or "Endless Pain". No, it doesn't mean that metal CAN'T be fun but it's not SUPPOSED to be.
When I say "metal's supposed to be fun" I don't mean it's supposed to be silly or goofy, I mean you're supposed to enjoy it. You enjoy the dark and evil sounds but I'm betting it's just about the SOUND and the lyrics could be about anything. Maybe I'm wrong. At any rate, "metal's supposed to be fun" is about the people that take metal so seriously that they don't enjoy themselves, or try to keep others from enjoying it. The gatekeepers and dickheads.
Lich King i mean, if that's what you want to tell through it, then that's okay. It's just the word "fun" that has a bad conotation in that case. Fun is what you're supposed to feel when you listen to the music you like but what metal music expresses is rather far from fun, both musically and lyrically. And I'm not against bands that write silly lyrics (cause I listen to Tankard and you guys lmao) yet I think "darkness of evil of darkness of evil" will always play the bigger part in lyrics because that's basically what metal was born with
Anthrax always had the right Idea of Thrash Metal in my opinion. They captured the "fun" aspect of it perfectly back in '87. Look at their interviews back then, they always knew which end was up and never took themselves or the music too seriously haha.
I don't agree with these lyrics as much as I thought I would. We should be worried about keeping the spirit alive and purging false metal. That can't be fun? And politics in music is unfortunately inevitable, people sing about what they are passionate about. And if gun law reform happens to stimulate their mind more than evil darkness blah blah blah, what's it matter to you? It's called substance. Not saying I disagree with ALL songs from Lich King, but geez seems awful blameful for people who are essentially standing for nothing but, idk... Calling people out?
The song's mostly meant as a bitchfest about tired tropes, not a hard-line knock-that-shit-off (except for the stop worrying about poser bits). You can't purge false metal. It's out there and if it sells, it sells. Yeah, Black Veil Brides suck, but they're a gateway band. Everyone that likes them are kids that are going to find real metal bands to enjoy, and if they don't they weren't metal anyway. "if gun law reform happens to stimulate their mind more than evil darkness blah blah blah, what's it matter to you? It's called substance." I would not agree that that's called substance. Unless it's causing real change, which I would argue music doesn't do, it's as substantive as any other song. If they're passionate about it, sure, go ahead and bore everyone with your lyrics about how the government is evil.
@@LichKingMetal John Lennon caused change through music, Michael Jackson, Gary Moore, depends of you want to see and be part of the change.

I don't think even John Lennon made any actual change. He made songs that paired well with existing social movements, but I sincerely doubt his music caused any change, let alone the others. You never hear about how things were bad until we all heard that one The Byrds song, and we wised up.

Went down the rabbit hole looking for some new metal to listen to. I gotta say, you guys "own" thrash. Please keep doing what you're doing. I love it.
Thanks mister, you're the sweetest sweetheart.

Really? Ive always thought Jhofffilms was poking fun at those kinds of people themselves in sort of a tongue in cheek manner. I dont think the folks at jhofffilms take shit too seriously either
@@necrodamus5481 I think he said that the humour from the lyrics are similar to the Jhofffilms humour
@@danilocosta2894 i like that. I can respect that degree of humour
Looks like a group of dads got together, and said "Fuck it! Let's make a band!"
Let's watch the language there son
In all reality, you guys are good. Loving each song as I listen to them.
I'm glad you're liking it, but someone's up past their bedtime. You have school tomorrow sport.
You're not my dad!

i like the song
Yarp!
Anthrax Belladonna era.
I love this band but this song is so ironic coming from the same band that sings “black metal sucks”.
Eduardo Navarro they’re not supposed to be take seriously 😒
This song is about the same fundamentalist shit said in Black Metal Sucks
@@danilocosta2894 Its the lyrical equivalent of being against racism and hating white people.
So saying black metal sucks is elitist now? I honestly don't want to know what you think isn't elitist.
Am i the only one who thought the elitist guy was Nick from Suicidal Angels? 😂
Looks a little like him, yes
THIS IS FUCKIN THRASH! Good Job!! 😀
hi
im the 1st comment
Hadn't Tom been fired ?
I think this was filmed in 2015. Slackers.
Miroandu16 he left on his own terms. check out the song I Quit
Do they have a new singer
no
Tom was not fired. He quit touring. I think he will still write and play major shows.
Goddamn, I'll be crushed to death here, but I like the Demo mix better...
Same here
uR a PoSeR
Circle pits are weak as fuck.
isnt this just calling out people calling other people out??
Because Spike said he would beat the shit out of you if he ever saw you on the road? Is that why you pay others to tour your music? Don't want to take a hit to the mouth?

Sounds like liberal logic. If you say the magic word, you are now "Metal".
The song's mostly meant as a bitchfest about tired tropes, not a hard-line knock-that-shit-off (except for the stop worrying about poser bits). You can't purge false metal. It's out there and if it sells, it sells. Yeah, Black Veil Brides suck, but they're a gateway band.
