2bitnogoodjive Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Drowning Pool have responded to reports linking their music to the recent shooting in Arizona, which left six people dead and congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords critically injured. Jared Loughner, the 22-year-old arrested for Saturday's attack, reportedly listed as a YouTube favorite an unofficial video featuring the band's 2001 single 'Bodies' and a masked man burning an American flag. In response to media reports speculating on a link between the clip and the shooting, a statement on the band's official website read: "We were devastated this weekend to learn of the tragic events that occurred in Arizona and that our music has been misinterpreted, again. "'Bodies' was written about the brotherhood of the mosh pit and the respect people have for each other in the pit. If you push others down, you have to pick them back up. It was never about violence. It's about a certain amount of respect and a code." It continued: "For someone to put out a video misinterpreting a song about a mosh pit as fuel for a violent act shows just how sick they really are. We support those who do what they can to keep America safe. "Our hearts go out to the victims and their families of this terrible tragedy." http://www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/news/a297242/drowning-pool-respond-to-arizona-shooting.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Moshpits is a really horrible idea made by ugly goths/emo, never would we see such insolence at a civilised Led Zeppelin concert Which has exactly what to do with the shooting in Arizona and someone trying to blame the shooter's motivations on a song? "Bodies" was also on the list of songs Clear Channel suggested should be banned from airplay after the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001. Seems you're also severely misinformed as to the origins of mosh pits which have absolutely nothing to do with fans of gothic or emo music, mosh pits started at punk rock shows. I'm also not sure how any of that is supposed to relate to Led Zeppelin or the actual topic at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro59 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 "Bodies" was also a song by The Sex Pistols and about abortion, which the guy who did this horrific crime is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
