and you should too
Never mind, The Exploited are and will forever be one of my favorite bands of all time. Actually, they are my third favorite band ever!
In fact, as a rebellious teenager, me thinking that The Exploited were a nazi punk band was part of their appeal. Their thrash metal sound, their street punk look, their rebellious lyrics... The Exploited was/is the total package in what a punk band should be.
With a song like 'Hitler's In The Charts Again' and seeing a young Wattie Buchan wearing a Sid Vicious swastika shirt on the cover of "Troops Of Tomorrow". It wasn't that hard to believe that The Exploited were nazi punk.
Sid Vicious never gave a flying fuck
about political correctness.
There shouldn't be anything taboo in extreme musics like Punk, Metal & Rap.
Being universally "forbidden", the swastika is the only
symbol with any shock value that remain.
