Do you think some bands have more impact in an area of the World that are reflected to their message compared to fans not associated with or understanding what their lyrics/music pertains to? Something that would bring a change to music for those who understand what the message represents?
Example: Aenema/Tool= Lyrics "Freaks here in this hopeless f***ing hole we call LA, the only way to fix it is to flush it all away, any f***ing time, any f***ing day, Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona Bay.
The reason I mention this is when I toured London, so many things referred by Bands were revealed to me, things I couldn't relate to before going there. Even little things like "Quid" (bucks to us) and "Red Light" (Hooker's room vacant in SoHo) related to songs I heard a million times, from Maiden's 22 Acacia Ave. to The Police's Roxanne. Even standing at 3 Saville Row, London, the address of The Beatles Apple Headquarters, to name a few. Surreal.
