Metallica and Demon Hunter?are featured in a fascinating new article about the successful assassination of Osama Bin Laden.
Surprisingly, according to the Navy SEAL member who evidently shot Bin Laden, the music of Metallica was used to ?soften people up? before prisoner interrogations were to take place. Having somehow discovered this, Metallica asked for their music to be removed from interrogation procedures, while Demon Hunter, on the other hand, volunteered their brand of metal to be used for that same purpose.
In the?Esquire?magazine article, the anonymous Navy SEAL spoke in great detail about the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. With such a serious topic at hand, it?s one of the last places you?d expect to read about some of your favorite bands, but Esquire dug up some riveting details on the use of Metallica and Demon Hunter within the U.S. military.
The Navy SEAL told Esquire:
When we first started the war in Iraq, we were using Metallica music to soften people up before we interrogated them,? the Shooter says. ?Metallica got wind of this and they said, ?Hey, please don?t use our music because we don?t want to promote violence.? I thought, Dude, you have an album called ?Kill ?Em All.?
But we stopped using their music, and then a band called Demon Hunter got in touch and said, ?We?re all about promoting what you do.? They sent us CDs and patches. I wore my Demon Hunter patch on every mission. I wore it when I blasted bin Laden.
Wow ? not to make a pun, but that?s pretty damn heavy. We suppose Demon Hunter, having volunteered their music to aid interrogations, would be honored to know their patch was on the man who killed Bin Laden, but what do you think of this whole situation? Let us know in the comments section below.
