"Swine Flu Virus"

So wich metal band will be the first to pen lyrics on this buzz topic?

Iced Earth or Annihilator.

You should do a a vignette about it in between songs at a Dance On Fire show. Right before "The End".

i think it'll be annihilator.
they write some of the worst cheesiest lyrics ever, although Iced earth may write a concept album about it.

One Bad Pig! They already penned a song called "Swine Flew". Of course it has nothing to do with the disease, and is a play on words, but everytime I hear the words "Swine Flu" on the news, it reminds me of that song.

I also immediately thought of the One Bad Pig title as soon as stories about this outbreak started showing up on the news.

I can see Jon Oliva's Pain putting something about it in their lyrics... or Tourniquet using it with a medical term twist.

I thought a christian metal band might take a stab at this, tie it in w/the apocalypse!

Now that you mention it this is right up Steve Rowe's alley. Too bad he already completed his current record. It's a great sign of the times topic.

His song would be titled "The Virus That Comes From Dirty Pigs That Makes You Sick For Days, God Rules!"

Yea, but they'd give it an incredibly wordy Latin-derived title that nobody would understand.

I feel guilty for laughing but you nailed it!

Megadeth's currently writing their next record. I'm sure MegaDave could put some kind of political spin on Swine Flu.

Maybe it was created and released from a secret underground military base that houses UFO's (where the virus originated) in order to provide government contracts to pharmaceutical companies and thin out the population? Sounds like a song to me.

"Return To Return To Hangar 18: Electric Boogaloo"

Couldn't be any worse than 'Unforgiven III'

LOL!!! Me too!!! I don't have it on CD, otherwise I would have broken it out!

BTW - this is not any worse than a normal flu season, it's just a new strain that there is no vaccine against at this point. It's like last year, when the manufactures and NIH didn't guess correctly at which strain of the flu virus would be popular in 2007-2008 flu season, and people that had flu shots got it.

The difference is it's a new strain not seen before. Plus, the media is loving it because it sells papers.

Same here!

I totally put in swine flew the other day just to do it.


Me personally, I think the whole thing is really hyped up. Sure, people are dying around the world but its just a ploy in order to take heat off all the other crazy s*** thats been happening lately namely the tea party deal.

As for it being manufactured who can say, but I wont believe it until theres proof.
