BoC throw the idea of them being satanic in our faces because their music was of accused of having satanic undertone and what not..right?....all of this is SO stupid...it is just to mess with us, and its all out of joke and fun. just like in their music they will thrown in a random sample and only play it once. you have to go back and listen to it again just make sure u werent hearing things. all the while they are at hexagon sun laughing working up another masterpiece.

what BoC do in their personal life really doesnt matter to me. i know they arent evil, and i know their music isnt brainwashing me...it makes me feel warm and takes me to places i have been and places i havent even seen yet. it takes me on a journey, and not all music can do that.

as far as the porn at the end of the trailer i love it. i think it further captures the mood that surrounds BoC music. BoC have said them self that the music from porns of the 70's and 80's served as influence to them as well and they have used samples from them in their music. i love how it looks like you are watching the porn on either on old beta or vhs tape, or through the fuzz of a tv stations you dont get but is getting picked up through your satellite. i can understand if a small child was around when you were watching this and how that may upset you. there are much worse things that childs could see besides a naked women through some distorted fuzzy lines.

bottom line is the world isnt perfect. its actual a pretty bad place believe it or not. i dont think that BoC is the root of all that evil. they are artist with a vision... i see it.... i understand exactly where they are coming from. i can listen to them and still believe what i believe and not feel like they have made my life any more evil or worse. only better through their God given talents.

oopps i said God. I believe in God. oh crap!!! Am I gonna get shit for saying that. SO drop it with the 666 and boobs. its a stupid argument.

now lets go kill kill kill!!!!

streamrunner wrote:OK so to preface this: I have been a BOC fan for a LONG time. So much so that I owned all their releases, downloaded all their live tracks, had a bumper sticker on my car, told everyone they were my favorite band (because they were) etc... You get the point. Geogaddi bothered me in some aspects - yes - but after reading the interviews about the post 9/11 situation some of the dark undertones seemed logical (in a messed up way). Now we have some obsucure Red Moon reference (with a "secret code, wooohoo) no one knows about that everyone is obssesed with (which is a form of mind control and is their intention) and 1000 times worse a trailer is just released with "kill 666" basically.

I have had it. It is old. I'm sick of it. Their music is good but they just flat out pissed me off with this. I have literally thrown away everything I have related to them and I'm done with it. Before you go off and say I'm over-reacting - remember how much I liked them. I know everyone thinks all the stuff they are doing is a gimmick and it is funny but where does one draw the line? Seriously. Ask yourself this? I know this will have zero effect on anyone else on this board which potentially proves that you have been brainwashed by them - but what if instead of "kill 666" in the trailer they had some old nostalgic home video from the 70s someone filmed of molesting a chid? Would you still write it off as a gimmick? Shock value? Its easy to justify anything if you let your mind go there. That is all that song "The Devil Is In the Details" is about - flat out mind control where you just relax and give yourself over to them. They even admit it by the lyrics of that song and now it is becoming so much more evident. My point is somewhere we have to just say this is ridiculous. Where is your line? You should ask yourself this. What if - by some small chance - they turned out to be some crazy murder cult and you were just jamming to their music the whole time? I know they have said they are not but what if?? Its obviousl by contradictions in their past interviews they are more than willing to lie. Obviously no one knows anything about them. Maybe my reaction is the kind of reaction they want but with my reaction they are losing money if nothing else because they have lost a fan. I enjoy music and have hundreds of albums of every type but it sucks these guys have to produce such good music and then ruin it . LIterally ruin it. Anyway have fun with them but this is my last post and I'm done with them. By the way I have friends that used to be into them greatly as well but have lost interest recently as I have due to the aforementioned. I'm sure many other people will feel the same. Of course after the latest trailer we can see that everything they said about them now wanting the "music" to be the focus instead of the secret messages is a load of crap.

Mike and Marcus - get a life.

I have some incertitudes of the so called " Red Moon Reference " like some others inhere. Your theories about brainwashing and murder cults reminds me of politicians who blame artists whenever some kid commits suicide because he heeded to much to the lyrics or hidden messages in their music and that's bollocks man! I had some bad experiences in the past with band members during interviews, but i never threw away my favourite records just because they where complete assholes at that time. I think you have a serious problem with yourself so i suggest to talk about it with someone close!!!

Right, so if we disagree with you, it must mean that we're brainwashed. Wow, such tactful debating skills there!

What if your mother was a goat? What if YOU are a murderer? What if you are stupid? What if the world doesn't exist? What if the sky is actually green? What if our skin is actually made out of teflon?
