Drowning Pool were cool with “Let the Bodies Hit the Floor” being used for interrogation:
Some musicians, however, say they’re proud that their music is used in interrogations. Those include bassist Stevie Benton, whose group Drowning Pool has performed in Iraq and recorded one of the interrogators’ favorites, “Bodies.”
“People assume we should be offended that somebody in the military thinks our song is annoying enough that played over and over it can psychologically break someone down,” he told Spin magazine. “I take it as an honor to think that perhaps our song could be used to quell another 9/11 attack or something like that.”

Dave Mustaine’s daughter Electra is singing at benefits for wounded troops. An accoustic version of her dad’s A Tout Le Monde. She tends more toward country.

I like her dad’s version better with Christina Scabbia.

It’s all down to one thing to be honest. Liberals run the music industry. Look at Katy Perry. She was a decent ‘act’ on the Vans Warped tour. Then she was almost normal. To get support, she had to become what the industry wanted. And portray WHAT the industry wanted...thus the pro gay songs and pro obama campaigning.
In this case, artists that want another record produced and distributed can either follow liberal positions or enjoy life as an indy with the record companies fielding ‘competition’ in their market until they go bye bye or ‘get their heads right.
History always repeats. Heard any new DP lately?
