Music news Kill the noise: music used to torture terrorists

Posted by Rodney Carmichael @Rappin_Rodney on Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 4:36 PM

Dr. Dre, AC/DC, the Bee Gees, and the big, purple annoyance known as Barney are just some of the acts whose music is used by the Feds to torture terrorism suspects, according to a story in yesterday's AJC.

Other acts include Drowning Pool, Eminem, Queen, Metallica, and Nine Inch Nails. Perhaps Metallica co-founder James Hetfield sums it up best:

“We’ve been punishing our parents, our wives, our loved ones with this music forever. Why should the Iraqis be any different?

Read "Music used as torture device."

A while back, the BBC reported that US forces were using adult contemporaneous "Babylon" as torture music.
