Music To Torture People By

The hitlist of bands used by the US government to 'soften up' detainees for interrogation at Guantanamo Bay, through torturous volume and reptitivity, has been revealed.

The theme song to Barney The Dinosaur makes the list, as we already knew, but some of the others Songs To Force Fake-Al Qaeda Confessions by are, well, not too horrific, if you don't include Matchbox 20 :

AC/DC, Aerosmith, Deicide, Queen, Dr Dre, Marilyn Manson, REM, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Hed P.E. Neil Diamond, Rage Against The Machine.

Still, there's a massive difference between choosing to listen to AC/DC's Who Made Who or Highway To Hell at ear-splitting volume for twelve hours straight, and having it forced on you.

That's why it's called torture.

You'd have to imagine that the inclusion of many still popular radio staples, like Don McLean's American Pie, would kick in some pretty fucked up flashbacks for those who were tortured by music in Guantanamo Bay, once they're back in the real world, if they're anywhere near commercial radio or TV, or watching DVDs.

The US government used Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange as an instructional manual.
