Music that helped and possibly hindered you.
Does anyone have any bands who they felt they were helping them at their most helpless moments and then maybe realised they were actually not helping at all?
My band were the Manic Street Preachers:
Richey Edwards was the main song-writer and pretty much talentless when it came to playing an instrument, but he was also heavily into alcohol and self-harming which was apparent in the infamous '4 Real incident'.
In his lyrics it was pretty much all despair. An album by the band called 'The Holy Bible' sums it all up.
But in some way I think the fact that someone famous sort of understood things, kind of helped.
I realise a lot of younger, more easily influenced people can just jump on bandwagons, but overall I think these things can help people.

Awake! Sons of Vengeance rise
Rub the dust of twenty centuries from your eyes
Fashion your being: ploughshares into weapons of war
Today we conquer the self - tomorrow the world
Men of war defiant - to ashes fall the gods
Apocalyptic deeds - fierce archonic might
A knell a pall masking honored rites of spring
The empyreal majesty of abyss winds
An affirmation of struggle
Like wolves closing in for the kill
Making holy our war immortal this glorious night
A brotherhood of iron - falling in we march
Shout into the star shattered Dawn...
We are Sons of Vengeance
Blessed and bold
Reborn in hate
Fingers of scorn fists of furious destruction
Discipline of steel beyond the roar of all war
Unleashed lightning storm brigades to be
Powerful creative joyous and free
We are Sons of Vengeance
Blessed and bold
Reborn in hate
.................................................. .................................................. ....
What ultimately depresses me is music from my teens and certain phases of my 20s. Nothing like reminding myself that the best years of my life are long gone and i didn't take advantage of them.
