"Night Prowler" by AC/DC

[Big Van Vader]

Murder In the Rue Morgue - Iron Maiden

It's not a song but the whole album Frances the Mute is pretty much about murder.

[Mount_Happy]

"Night Prowler" by AC/DC
that songs not about murder, though its a common misconception. Angus has said in interviews that its not as dark as it sounds, its just about sneaking into your girlfriends bedroom at night while shes sleeping.

as for some others:

Disposable Heroes - Metallica
Fade To Black - Metallica
Seek & Destroy - You guessed it...
Perfect Crime - Guns N Roses

Toy Soldier-50 Cent, not sure if it fits though, meh.

I love that song.

[paranoia]

harvester of sorrow - Metallica

[slipknot666]

Slayer - Angel of Death

The "inspiration" for the song is Nazi Josef Mengele who recieved the nickname Angel Of Death from torturing men, women, and children during the holocaust. He injected chemicals into the eyes of the children in an attempt to change their eye color. The doctors made injections with lethal germs, sex change operations, removal of organs and limbs.

Here's a real song for both murder and crime.

[Mr. Pelicula]

I love that song.

Yes, as do I. Who could've thought that song would be about a school shooting? :)

[Ramms+ein1088]

Mein Teil - Ramms+ein............wOOt! :bang: :bow:

[lord_mugatu]

[Dickweed]

killing is my business - Megadeth

[KingCrimson]

The only thing I can think of is Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen.

[YouEnjoyMyself]

One of These Days - Pink Floyd

[Mr. Pelicula]

The only thing I can think of is Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen.

Is that a song about a crime or murder? I always got the impression of a song about suicide, but then again it's so fun to sing I really don't care what it's about.

LET ME GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :bang:

[Pinkfloyd]

3. Bob Dylan - The Hurricane

Yep, thats a good one, in fact all your choices were good, but Carter was guilty as fuck. :rolleyes:

[k_tull88]

Hurricane by Bob Dylan. Amazing song.

[Sparky_07]

This isn't my favorite, but I remembered this song when I heard it today.

Car Seat by Blind Melon

It is about a parent murdering their child.

[AmpRade]

Jeremy by Pearl Jam, its the only one that i can think of

[ZX-6RR]

The whole 'Scenes From A Memory' album, by Dream Theater.

[Disgustipated]

The whole 'Scenes From A Memory' album, by Dream Theater.

I agree. Definitely my favorite Dream Theater CD (Images & Words is a close second). :)

[drone]

Listen to anything by Macabre, they only sing about serial killers. They even wrote one whole album following Jeffery Dahmers life.
Theres also a new metal band called Screamin' Daemon which is excatly just like macabre but black metal.

[droogsteve]

Is that a song about a crime or murder? I always got the impression of a song about suicide,

Huh? Have you ever actually listened to the words?

Mama, I just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead

Can't get much clearer than that.


My favorite is "Pipebomb on Lansdowne" By Dropkick Murphys. It's about killing asshole ravers:

It's Friday night and the street's filled with freaks, come watch as the useless flock to the beat
Of the techno noise that enhances their high, a bombs gonna blow and I think you know why!

Everybody's running out, bodies hit the ground,
you'd better take cover, it's a pipebomb on Lansdowne street

There's no room for dancing on your precious floors, cause you've got to save space for the jocks and the whores
You say that our shows are for violent thugs, but we're not the ones on designer drugs

Everybody's running out, bodies hit the ground,
you'd better take cover, it's a pipebomb on Lansdowne street

It's not a bunch of little kids we're out to harm and maim,
So make sure the night you hurl the pipe there's no baseball game
Look for flyers, check the phoenix, are there any decent shows,
if Keith Bennett isn't working, then the bomb is good to go.

Sounds like a good idea to me. :)

[ConanTL]

Cradle of Filth - Lord Abortion

"...I slit guts and free the moistest facces
Corrupt the corpse and seize the choicest pieces
Her alabaster limbs that dim the lit carnal grin
Vaginal skin to later taste and masturbate within. ..."

:bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

[MasterSplinter]

ummm.........Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

[Mr. Pelicula]

Huh? Have you ever actually listened to the words?

Mama, I just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead

Can't get much clearer than that.


Huh. I guess I should've looked that up a long time ago.

I always thought is said "Mama just killed a man". If you take it that way, it changes the whole thing....
