  • Jacob Chase - Earth Day Hippie from Stevenson AlabamaI know this is going to be f--ked up, but I believe this song is about the awful treatments of our planet.
  • Jacob Chase - Earth Day Hippie from Stevenson AlabamaThe song itself ( if not in of it's own self ) is about the mistreatment of farm, lab, zoo, slaughterhouse, pet store, and circus animals that end up in market shelves, breeding compounds, unethical sanctuaries, cattle related market shows, veterinarian hospitals, and canned hunting facilities.

    Farm and slaughterhouse animals are slaughtered, beaten, and confined: Emus, cows, rheas, pigs, chickens. Turkeys, goats, ducks, camels, geese, llamas, ostriches, and alpacas.

    Fun fact: Humans shouldn't eat steak nor loin clearly because all that's a red meat and they have to die the silly pigs and kill the happy cows.

    Lab and pet store animals are tortured, experimented on, and deprived: Guinea pigs, mice, dogs, rats, zebras, monkeys, rabbits, leopards, chimpanzees, bears, and hamsters.

    Fun facts: Thanks to these facilities, people are getting sick from injections and they're getting killed by rabid birds and killed by fed up fish.

    Zoo and circus animals are abused, exploited, and manipulated : Lions, elephants, tigers, seals, giraffes, hyenas, cougars, baboons, ligers, rhinos, tigons, hippos, kangaroos, pandas, jaguars, wolves, crocodiles, snakes, and pigeons. ( yes pigeons are held in circuses and zoos ).

    Fun facts: Zoos and circuses are the reason why the oslo layer is melting and the baby polar bears are dying because it's hot as fire up there.
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjOne of Dan Donegan's most interesting solos it contains digitech pitch shifting, tremolo pedal effects, and sweet fingertapping towards the end. Definately one of the most underrarted guitarists in metal today.
  • Joel from Columbia, ScWow that is just effing disturbed. Pun intended.
    Nah, actually it's spot on and if more people heeded the message then maybe we could save our planet from all of the effing republican right-wing neoconservitive a$$holes that don't believe in global warming and that a good Iraqi is a dead Iraqi. Oh by the way it's pronounced "ear-rock" and "ear-ron". If you are going to invade a country (Bush people) at least learn how to say the name of the country so you won't sound like anymore of an idiot than you already are. Okay I am getting off my high horse now. Have a nice day.
