The ones I'm referring to are by someone that rather spams the thread and is still here afaik. Sorry, realise that wasn't clear in my original post.

Oh I thought you were talking about Norvillnal.

No, my apologies there. I quite liked him actually.

Dude... I'm from Hannover. And the most hated (well, some other people also love them) export success from this very town has got to be that band.
Fwiw, both my wife and my son are on one of their farewell gigs right here in the local stadium next weekend. You'd have to point a gun to my head to force me going as well (ok, I'm sure the sound will be great).

I can see finding Scorps from the late 80s and onward a bit cringe, but if you’d go so far as to diss mid-70s Uli Scorps… man, we may as well start talking politics here.

Jealous of your wife and kid. I just found out this huge Scorpions concert is happening the same day as the big Back to the Beginning Sabbath blowout. Whose f***ing idea was that? My two favorite bands…

Sorry, but I'm about to get political.

my neck, my back, lick my ***** and my crack

If the band is formed for the intent of making a poltical statement then they're better off not posting their music here. I think that's a bit different than a song potentially having a political message. The same way a black metal band showing up and posting anti-Christianiity lyrics would get booted for breaking the no religion rule, or some skinhead punks posting some Aryan race bullshit would be booted for bigotry.

Here's some exampples of the not-specific lyrics I'm talking about-

Floyd's cover of "Rise Up Rise Up"; reading the lyrics you don't know what it's specifically about unless you know the history of the song. But it's certainly political as it gets and most people aware of it do know Floyd covered it for the pro-Ukraine response.

REM's "Losing My Religion"; it says the word 'religion', but whether or not it's actually about religion is up for interpretation.

(According to Michael Stipe, losing my religion is just an old southern idiom meaning, basically, getting pissed off. Which I found a bit disappointing, because I assumed it was more poetic as a way of saying, losing one’s innocence, or becoming disillusioned.)

And yet nothing about cursing every other word and not being flagged. Classy.

Nope. Because we’re grownups here, who can decide for ourselves if we’re clutching pearls over someone saying a curse word, and then blocking accordingly.

Classy, right?

I need to start using that in my vernacular, especially since I’m not religious lol

I thought the exact same thing as you and also feel a bit "That's it?" now.

You leave the Army with a fucking PhD in swearing, motherfucker.

I didn't do military service, I did civilian service instead (and that's how I found my job). I still like to use swear words.

Just switch the lyrics from Satan to Morgoth and you’ll be alright
