No Good (Attack The Radical)

Poorest song on the album? huhhhhh.....

IMO one of their very best; awesome vocals, awesome riffs and it's got an important message, unlike ego-centric songs like 'Walk'.

This song is stating Phils true oppinion on racism in the US, after he was accused of being racist. The song tells you to look beyond your eyes and see past color. After this had been done, life will come to a new level.(This land of fools will rise.)

I think a lot of you don't understand this song, phil is a guy who is proud of his race clearly.

In the states There's a problem with race Because of ignorant past burned fires From evolution We've been killing each other I figure man should have it down to a science

This part is that for past actions we all fight but it doesn't have to be that way

Race, pride, prejudice Black man, white man No stand Live in the past We make it last A hated mass No solution Mind pollution For revolution

"the part of race pride" is not saying people who have pride in their race are prejudicious, is that being proud of your race is SEEN as prejudicious.

You blame oppression and play the role of criminals To rape and burn show progress is minimal White hoods and militants you know it's such a pity Living, breathing Violence in your city

This is critic of minorities like blacks and hispanics(i'm Argentinian by the way) who commit crimes steal murder and rape in far more proportion than whites because they somehow "play the role" of being anti police and as a culture they had embraced it and think it's okay.

If one man Had one home In one world Held live alone without variety Full of anxiety No one to point at, question

This line basically mean cause if we were to chose we would all live in a neighborhood or place without variety, meaning diversity, if you are black you are gonna feel more ocmfortable with blacks and that if you are white you are gonna feel better with whites.See all this white people advocating for diversity? they all live in private white hoods.

This is not that much of an anti racist song , is about feeling pride in your people, it's obvious

It's not the weakest at all. If I had to choose a weakest from the VDOP album, I'd go for "By Demons Be Driven". But I'm a die hard Pantera fan and I don't like to put down any song. I can honestly say I don't dislike any Pantera songs. Anyways...

Yeah, the lyrics are definately about racism. When I first heard it I knew straight away it was a statement about racism. How shitty and fucked up it is. It's really well written and to be honest, probably the best anti-racism song I've ever heard.

The song is about a progressive view past race. Past racism along race lines. It's about humanity.

A nod to science of how we evolved to kill each other.

The lyrics indicate racism exists on both sides, black man or white.

"To rape and burn show progress is minimal" - Showing the angry race riots. When this was written right after blacks and hispanics rioted in D.C. in 1991. By blaming "oppression" and then becoming criminals.

"White hoods and militants you know it's such a pity" -- KKK and black power militants, and others on both sides are just pathetic and sad.

If they are close-minded and think about races. No matter what. Whether complaining about oppression or complaining about a race. They still are close minded and "no matter their color" should not be saved from that hell or prison cell. Just put them all in prison.

--- Attack the radical close-minded people because they're no good for anyone. ---

They think in terms of race, oppression, superiority, inferiority.

Thats bullshit, i think this is the best song on Vulgar Display of Power, i dont know why its so ignored. The chorus sounds fuckin awesome. I think this song is against racism too.

i think this is a good song, not as good as some of the others, but still good, i also think its against racism

We'll I also a die hard pantera fan who doesn't like to put down Pantera songs... why? Because everything from CFH to the last album is killer... Fuck don't take things so seriously... I like the song...

:)

anyone reading this: I dare ya to go to youtube and search " phil anselmo rant". you'll find it. that will put an end to the discussion here. he's proud of his ancestry so i guess hes a racist, right? idiots.
