\u201cThe idea that an individual in this great country of ours could be arrested for simply posting lyrics to a song is something I never believed could happen in a free society,\u201d states EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt. \u201cJames Evans was simply posting lyrics to a band he likes on Facebook, and he was locked up for it. The song \u2018Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)\u2019 was written as a view through the eyes of a madman and in no way endorses that kind of fucked up behavior. It was the Virginia Tech massacre perpetrated by Seung-Hui Cho that was the subject and inspiration to write the song, one in which we put the brakes on playing it live after the Sandy Hook shooting, as we did not want to seem insensitive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary continues, \u201cAs some of us in EXODUS are parents, of course these things hit close to home, it’s every parent’s worst fear. These moments are the stuff of nightmares, and life, as well as music, isn’t always pretty. But when we start to overreact to things like lyrics by any band, including EXODUS, and start arresting people, we are caving in to paranoia and are well on our way to becoming an Orwellian society.\u201d<\/p>\n
