I disse dage genfinder jeg mine gamle albums med Suicidal Tendencies, der gik fra at v\u00e6re et lidt ordin\u00e6rt hardcore-band til at lave interessant metal (og desv\u00e6rre siden er faldet af p\u00e5 den). De var pionerer inden for thrash frem gennem firserne og i mine \u00f8jne et mere sp\u00e6ndende band end f.eks. Metallica (hvor en af deres mange bassister i dag er havnet). Deres melodimateriale var bedre, og i Rocky George havde de en temmelig undervurderet leadguitarist. De to albums How Will I Laugh Tomorrow…<\/em> og Lights…Camera…Revolution<\/em> er is\u00e6r anbefalelsesv\u00e6rdige.<\/p>\n

Og ikke mindst: I lighed med en del andre navne inden for genren rummer mange af gruppens tekster (forfattet af deres eneste gennemg\u00e5ende medlem Mike Muir) en forbl\u00f8ffende s\u00e5rbarhed sammen med desperationen. Her er et eksempel.<\/p>\n

How Will I Laugh Tomorrow<\/strong>
\n(Mike Clark\/Mike Muir)<\/p>\n

Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down
\nI cry for help but no one’s around
\nSilently screaming as I bang my head against the wall
\nIt seems like no one cares at all<\/p>\n

Always an emotion, but how can I explain?
\nKind of like the scent of a rose, with words I can’t explain, the same with my pain
\nCaught up in emotion, goes over my head; goes over my head!
\nSometimes I got to think to myself is this life or death, am I living or am I dead<\/p>\n

The clock keeps ticking, but nothing else seems to change
\nProblems never solved, just rearranged
\nAnd when I think about all the times that I’ve had
\nSome were good most were bad<\/p>\n

I search for personality and I look for things I cannot see
\nLove and peace flash through my mind; pain and hate is all I find
\nFind no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true
\nLies and hate and agony; thru my eyes that’s all I see<\/p>\n

If I’m gonna cry, will you wipe away my tears?
\nAnd if I’m gonna die, Lord please take away my fear
\nBefore I drown in sorrow, I just want to say;
\nHow will I laugh tomorrow, when I can’t even smile today?<\/p>\n

You think something’s funny…
\n…laugh at this!<\/p>\n

So when I look outside my room
\nI see the world, but not the reason
\nWhat is done to me is not fair
\nYou call it fair I call it treason
\nBut I don’t know what to do
\nGive me a sign I’ll take whatever
\nBut if you want me here I am
\nAin’t gonna die forever<\/p>\n

And I tried to hold ya
\nBut you just turned away
\nAnd I tried to tell ya
\nBut not a word I say
\nI cried out so loudly
\nBut you just covered your ears
\nAnd gave me all the signs
\nThat you don’t want my tears<\/p>\n

So if you want me here I am
\nI sit and wait your decision
\nBut my body fights my mind
\nI’m headed straight for a collision
\nSo am I getting near or am I still
\nLooking in all the wrong places
\nBut the only thing that seems to change
\nAre the looks on the faces…<\/p>\n

Doesn’t anyone…seems like no one cares at all
\nI search for personality and look for things I cannot see
\nDoes anyone even care at all?
\nLove and peace flash through my mind; pain and hate is all I find
\nSeems like no one cares at all
\nFind no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true
\nDoes anyone even care at all?
\nLies and hate and agony; thru my eyes that’s all I see
\nSeems like no one cares at all<\/p>\n

How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can’t even smile today?<\/p>\n
