Why did they censor Daves Fuck ?

[ThrillsNSpills]

At least they didn't pull a Tom Petty and play the word backwards.

Let's roll......another noooorrrrgggghhh

did you ever roll a nooooorgggghhh?

didn't think so

[Seshmeister]

It must be nice to be so free...

It is a cultural difference.

Around the time of RothRadio I used to listen to a weekly radio show with Penn Gillette and he would constantly say ratbastard but godamn would be bleeped. It's especially odd to me when he was broadcasting from the modern day Sodom of Las Vegas...

[Golden AWe]

"satan" is a useable curse word in finnish...it gives you the pleasure of letting out some steam...SAATANAN SAATANA!!!

[Panamark]

To be honest I picked up "God Damn" from American movies
and it always seemed to be used as a positive or exciting or
astonished expression... Then when I first visited the US I learn
its cursing !

But you can still be polite and say "GD"

WTF is up with that ?? So you say "GD" everyone knows
you mean goddammit but you are safe with Jesus due
to your clever use of abbreviation ???

[Dave's Bitch]

I think the F bomb is dropped too lightly in music today anyhow.Seems to be the cool thing to do,Plenty of bands get by without picking up language from the gutter.Having said that Dave invented cool so I am sure it would have sounded cool in the songs

[Panamark]

I think the song would have kicked even more ass uncensored. I want to know where I can get a copy of
the uncensored version....

[jhale667]

Seems to have been a conscious decision to edit that one, as there's at least one other "WTF?" left uncensored in "Honeybabysweetiedoll" towards the end you can catch with headphones...

[DaveTheScott]

I am quite peeved with my kid-friendly CD! What happened to Van Fucking Halen?

You mean Van F****** Halen.

[Brett]

I think they didn't want to have to put a warning sticker on it which may have prohibited sales possibly at certain places.

[ELVIS]

I thought the warning sticker was to generate sales...

[kwame k]

Back in the day it did......

Nowadays I think Wally World won't stock certain bands if they deem their music too offensive!

[Seshmeister]

Creeping censorship, I wonder sometimes if we actually have less freedom than 30 years ago.

Also it's internationalised so that just because some fundie dickhead owns shops in the US then thousands of miles away in the UK and Australia we get censored too.

Tipper Gore must be dancing on her broomstick.
