Anger expressed in music

[SteveSly]

Is that Rage Against the Machine? There is a Spock's Beard epic from their first album that says "FUCK YOU" several times in it too but I don't remember the title.

I already quoted it earlier in the thread. "The Water" from the first album.

Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread all the way through.

Animals always seemed angrier than The Wall, that has a sad note to it.

The Wall is a fine example of what I don't like about anger in music. It's a whine. The singer hates society, hates the way he was brought up, buthas nothing positive to offer, just wants to rage. (And has done so, since 1979.) The character sounds like the sort of person who refuses to vote because "I hate them all, they're all the same."

I once saw John Cale having words with a club owner after a performance. I thought it was a good show. Will always wonder if an unresolved issue (headcount comes to mind) might've influenced the performance, for better or worse. But this is just conjecture about something recalled from 30 years ago.
I'm not much of a musician. Plonk at the keyboard from time to time. Though NOT when angry. But I figure, in instrumental music, the emotion of anger can be channeled as a propellent.
