311 the most Libertarian mainstream band

Yes

No

Yes, but he needs to sing about more then just the war on drugs

He will be until Lew Rockwell starts a band

[Arsenic]

As far as I am concerned, the award for most Libertarian rock band goes to 311, and the most libertarian lead singer is Nick Hexum. You need not look further then the song Offbeat Bare Ass

Artist: 311
Album: Grassroots
Title: Offbeat Bare-Ass


Any different people can apply to drop the funk
It's not a country club review board steady talkin junk
Many people would have it others go put and grab it
Some trip over toots and say fuck it I'm sunk
I put it in a limerick and kick the slick nick verbs
I am the one who scores the herb
When we're on the road P-Nut rolls it up
Throw me a joint on stage what's up
I will tell a cop that I know my fucking rights
And we can match wits all night for real
He said if I had nothing to hide
Then of course I wouldn't mind if he looked through our ride
Uh, no I'd really rather you didn't
And no we don't have guns hidden
We stood there for a while continue to decline
Firmly, I didn't lose my mind
I didn't let him break me he's just another human
Not a bit of shame in what we were doin' that day
He couldn't make us stay
We had our shit together
It don't matter whether
We sport the dread locks or a shaved head
Or if we have a sticker from the dead
I said a better verse rehearsed about the roughneck curse
Last week I keep an even keel and bow in place
And face the music every minute

Never could see my homey comin' till he passed
Funky gas by my way all the day I couldn't laugh
Oh by now I'm chill with it
Bare ass in my face I'm ok but Chad's like 'Uh-uh no he isn't'
So I proceed to hear him get loose with the
Fartin' all over my face sometimes my tummy
He fucked with my flow although I thought it funny
I probably wouldn't care if I smoked more kind bud
But that wouldn't do me shit cuz then he'd fuck me more up
Crazy ill and chillin' rude but I'ze a real cool dude
He didn't believe the day would come when he would get his top
But then one day right in front of his face I got him
He looked over said 'God damn get me some water'
The one time I hadn't wasted till I got mine
Smeared his nose with my armpit funk slime
So you get it the picture just how sick we were then
But before I jet 'Hey yo Chad sniff my finger man'

I can see a lot of people who feel like I do
I can see a lot of people who feel like I don't
I go on step lightly even when I'm heavy
High jump the slump open up fot eh Revy Horton Heat
Sweet what am I displayin' forgot what I was saying
I know I must be laying a pipe you got a gripe
With the way I get high
Graffix bong sing along with a cry of a
Mandatory sentence for a crime with no victim
When everyone knows jail terms should be picked in
Order of the pain that they cause
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law
Until you violate the rights of another
Respect the space of your sister and your brother
The war on drugs may be well intentioned
But it falls fucking flat when you stop and mention
The overcrowded prisons where a rapists gets paroled
To make room for a dude who has sold
A pound of weed to me that's a crime
Here's to good people doin time y'all

Bare Ass Yeah x4

Rush isn't fucking mainstream enough for you motherfucker?

As a whole, Rush boasts 23 gold records and 14 platinum (3 multi-platinum) records, making them one of the best-selling rock bands in history. These statistics place Rush fifth behind The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, KISS and Aerosmith for the most consecutive gold and platinum albums by a rock band. Rush ranks 78th in U.S. album sales according the RIAA with sales of 24.5 million units.

Also, 311 sucks. A lot.

Amber is the only song of theirs that I like.

Eh, Rush is ok

Rush isn't fucking mainstream enough for you motherfucker?

Eh, Rush is ok

Whether you like them or not, they're far more "mainstream", by any reasonable definition, as well as far more libertarian. I'll take 20-minute long epics based on Rand's works over "durrrr, they've written a song about how the war on drugs is like, bad and stuff" any day.

[Arsenic]

calm down there buddy

[rabidfurby]

calm down there buddy

I get stabby when bitchslapped by people who like shitty music.

[One two three]

What about Kottonmouth Kings?  Not mainstream?  OK, well, Greenday and Tool are.

[LuckySandal]

Rush isn't fucking mainstream enough for you motherfucker?

Eh, Rush is ok

The band, of course, not Limbaugh

Tool's fine (listening to Aenima now, actually), but Green Day fucking blows.

Any band that wrote a song called "Guns Are For Pussies" is not libertarian. 311 sucks, they have the dumbest lyrics, they make Vanilla Ice look like a good songwriter.

Rush FTW! 2112 is hawt!

Guns are for pussies is not a anti-gun song or in any way implies they think guns should be illegal.

If anything, they are just saying a real man fights with his fists and doesnt need a weapon.
