Foo Fighters Blast John Mccain For

[HarraH]

Copy+Pasted from Ultimate-Guitar.com

In a story that sounds all too familiar, John McCain has once again angered a group of musicians for his unauthorized use of their music. This time, it's the Foo Fighters.

The band revealed in a statement how upset they are that John McCain has been using their 1997 hit "My Hero" as his current campaign theme song.

The band writes, "This isn't the first time the McCain campaign has used a song without making any attempt to get approval or permission from the artist. It's frustrating and infuriating that someone who claims to speak for the American people would repeatedly show such little respect for creativity and intellectual property."

They also add, "The saddest thing about this is that 'My Hero' was written as a celebration of the common man and his extraordinary potential. To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song. We hope that the McCain campaign will do the right thing and stop using our song - and start asking artists' permission in general."

This isn't the first time Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain has found himself in trouble for unauthorized use of music. McCain has also angered bands Van Halen and Heart for his use of their songs "Right Now" and "Barracuda", respectively.

The Foo Fighters made headlines in 2004 for their support of Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry. The title of their 2005 record, In Your Honor, was reportedly inspired by the experience. The band's website currently features a note urging people to vote in the coming election in November.

The band is currently taking a "long break" from touring and recording music and hope to return eventually with a new sense of assturkey.

But he's a PoW or something isn't he? The man's a patriot. Not that I give a shit either way... And by they way I agree with Foo Fighters on how McCain's use of the song has distorted the meaning of the lyrics...

[candidate-zero]

McCain didn't have a chair or a table, or a table or a chair or a table or a table.

HE'S A WAR HERO

Yeah, I saw that the other day. I support the Foo Fighters in proctecting their grungy yet orgasmic songs from angry white guys like McCain.

[AwesomeX]

I've been screaming on Reuters about it since it was announced, John McCain is a thieving butthole.

Here's a new version of "My Hero" written by angry fans... Because I can...

(From Blog.Wired.Com...)

Mr McHero
(My Hero, the Foo Fighters)
WilliamBanzai7

Too alarming to think about
Another GOP clown in chief unless we shake em out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, while the GOP twists it around

There goes McHero
Watch him as he goes
There goes McHero
His ignorance is extraordinary

While the rest of us bleed it out
The worst of them squeeze us out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use the evidence, while the GOP twists it around

There goes McHero
Watch him as he goes
There goes McHero
His ignorance is extraordinary

Mr McHero all the best
You know McHero, the one whose
Moose hunting running mate is a clown in a dress

Heh, political satire...

okay now you're being fucking retarded.

it has nothing to do with voting for him or not, i'msaying its bad to personally insult him.

you you weren't blinded by your own idiocy you'd know that.

I was more making a point about those people who use the "Don't be so offensive to a war hero" line when others critisize McCain, I wasn't actually targetting you (thus the lack of quote), but I think reading what you wrote may have subconciously triggered me to make that point.

Sorry, I didn't to offend.

Sarah Palin got in the same trouble when she quoted Madeline Albright. Albright just responded that she'd make an exception with Palin and that she supports Obama/Biden.

McCain's friends don't like him back, apparently.

All he did was crash a couple of planes and then he finally was caught and tortured. When he came back, his military career was ruined because they didn't want to keep allowing him in even with his terrible physical test scores.

So yeah, McCain was tortured, and that shows he's a brave man. But when he was in American hands he was quite possibly one of the worst soldiers.

If you believe Obama is a terrorist then you have no right calling someone an idiot. There should be a test that tests people's intelligence before they vote, weeding out the fucking lunatics who think Obama is a terrorist.

[Frattochino]

Being a soldier means nothing. Every human can make their own unique choices, nothing prevents soldiers from doing the same thing you and I do daily. Just because they take one big risk in their life, for us, means they are Infallable and therefore obtain immunity? Malarky.

McCain stole songs, thats fact; being a war hero is irrelevant to that. McCains also been apart of the keeting five. Now don't bring up Bill Ayers because McCain joined a board for a few years lead by a white supremesist and a anti-semmite; does that make McCain an anti-semmite? No, so Obama ain't a terrorist.

you can't have it both ways.

Those among the McCain supporters who believe Obama is a terrorist will probably begin to suspect themselves as one should McCain say that they are a terrorist.

[FattyWhale]

What add did McCain use Baraccuda in?? That doesn't sound like a very political song to me...
