Based on this thread (Songs to be put on High Rotation during the Gulf war), were you a pilot trying to gear yourself up for the missions ahead, what are you listening to psyche yourself up, prepare yourself, steal yourself against the moral quandries you may be feeling, get the blood pumpin', get yer war on, so to speak?

I seem to remember Van Halen sending over free copies of 5150 during 1991's war because many pilots had said they were listening to "Dreams" when flying missions.

Seems like it would make more sense to send an album those guys didn't already have (although, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge might not have been released yet at that point).

Slayer is v. popular amongst the troops, tis true, tis true (even us office jockeys).

Personally? The Misfits - Where Eagles Dare.

I have a friend in the Army Airborne who says he always tries to keep a good metal tune in his head when doing jumps. Straight metal, always metal, he says, is the only thing that lets him stand up and fall out of the plane without wetting himself.

Pref the death stuff with the dudes croaking devilspeak on top of triplet basslines and double bass drums and somebody trying to kill the amplifier with his guitar

Talking to one of our reporters in Kuwait yesterday (well, I wasn't so much talking to him so much as taking dictation from him, but y'know...same difference) and he said that Kid Rock is worryingly popular with the infantry, specifically the track ....wait for it...."American Badass."

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 23 March 2003 15:28 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought a search and destroy order was issued for Kid Rock and all he has done!
