Agnostic Front vs. Mozart Victim In Pain by Agnostic Front is one of my favorite records of all time, its classical music. If you dont know this album I highly recommend that you get familiar with it. Dont be scared away by the misleading artwork, although thats part of the albums Power (title of a song on VIP) AFs music fights against fascism and the attitudes of fascists (Fascist Attitudes) I think cavemen would have liked Victim In Pain better than anything Mozart ever came up with, or the Beatles. If you had to get psyched up to kill a Wooly Mammoth, would you listen to The Beatles with Sgt. Pepper on french horn or Victim In Pain with Vinny Stigma on lead? I can almost hear the cave men screaming (if they had developed language) STIGMA!!! Its timeless music, post apocalypse Mad Max people will be rocking to it in a thousand years. Do you think anyone is gonna give a shit about The Shins when you could be raped, lit on fire, dragged by a motorcycle and killed for a liter of gas (which kind of defeats the purpose)? Shit, Apes from Planet Of The Apes would love AF, though the Chimps and Orangutans maybe not as much. Anyhoo, its not a music competition, I like The Shins and there is a place for them too but I think that Victim In Pain is more important and unique in the evolution of music, art, mankind, that it goes beyond indie rock and steps into Smithsonian Institute territory. For that reason I covered AFs Society Suckers from Victim In Pain. My version doesnt approach the aggressive power of the original but I had fun interpreting it, an homage. I think of it as classic folk song like This Land Is Your Land, I wish Woody Guthrie would do a version in the time/space continuum. Walter Schreifels
