Titian's Venus of Urbino painting is featured with black bars covering the young woman's nipples. (On a side note, something worth paying attention to in the original video is the painting above the lead singer Ivan Moody's head. In the intro, the entire word "goddamn" is used! Well? Is it "offensive" or is it not? Of course, the game silences "motherfucking life" every single time it shows up, but here's the hilarious part: in the second verse, "damn" from "goddamn" is removed. Not to mention the recurring line, "There's just so much goddamn weight on my shoulders, all I'm try'n'a do is live my motherfucking life." Firstly, if Activision is so scared of vile language in their game, why would they allow a song of this intensity into it? The song is about being pissed off all the time and the video features the band freaking out and smashing random items of furniture. This one seems hilarious to me, for multiple reasons. Subject two: Five Finger Death Punch's "Jekyll and Hyde" Can we seriously not say "fuck" in a Teen rated game? (Note: we'll be getting into ESRB ratings later in this article.) Even a split second of missing music can cause the best Guitar Hero player to make a mistake, and they don't just cut the lyrics, they cut ALL the music. Subject one: We Are The In Crowd's "The Best Thing (That Never Happened)"Īt 1:22 the lyrics of this tune are thus: "You'll crack just like the rest when I break your fucking jaw." The entire portion of when-to-jaw is completely erased in game, making it impossible to discern where the tune is going. In a world where everybody swears and the radio, which is responsible for playing music to the masses, plays songs WITH swearing in them, Guitar Hero Live refuses to include curse words.įor a few examples let's look at some music videos. until I played a few of my favorite songs (in the Metal category of course) and became instantly frustrated. Essentially, GHTV is playing Guitar Hero TO your favorite music videos. Awesome, right?! I thought so. Activision servers are constantly pumping out a never ending setlist on two different channels allowing players to choose genres. In the GHTV game mode players strum along to live music videos online against others in real time. Now let's talk about Guitar Hero Live, the music game that released in 2015, effectively rebooting the Guitar Hero franchise with an all-new never-before-seen game mode: GHTV or Guitar Hero TV. In fact, I have a feeling that if you asked a young person in your life what curse words they knew, you'd learn a lot of new ones. We're trained to handle outlandish behavior and lyrics from a young age. Since, we've seen the development of Rap and Metal genres as well as a live television Miley Cyrus "lap dance." They also freaked out when Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, took his shirt off during a performance. Sure, in the 60s people freaked out if music used swear words. Parents yell and argue, movies swear, games swear, music - god forbid - uses vile language and they play it on the radio - which everyone listens to. We are at a point in history where we are past "tainting young ears" with strong language. When we feel strongly about something, we sometimes tend to use strong language. When we, as humans, express something, we feel strongly about it.
