An article about musicians protesting the use of their tunes to torture prisoners begins with "March Of The Pigs" "blaring from a speaker behind a metal grate" at the U.S. Military detention center in Iraq where it "hit Prisoner No. 200343 like a sonic bludgeon." This would reportedly continue for "days, then weeks, then months." The prisoner, Chicago military contractor Donald Vance, told the AP it made him suicidal. In his case it was NIN and Queen, but the military's also used AC/DC, Pantera, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and even music from Sesame Street (clearly Tarantino fans). Unless your name is Ted Nugent, the musicians whose work is being used as a torturing device would be outraged, right? A number of folks (Massive Attack, Tom Morello, etc.) have banded together to start the Zero dB project, which in part, includes instituting moments of silence at shows in protest of the tactics. But, hey, turns out some musicians are proud when their tunes break someone's will to live. Take for instance, Steve Benton of Drowning Pool, whose "Bodies" is an interrogation favorite.
