Jimmy Bower -
"Yeah! Or put on a Carnivore record — you love it because the content is fucked up. We never sat around going, "Pete Steele's gotta be into Hitler!" We never did that. We were just like, "This is sick!" It's music, you know? You don't read that deep into it. I mean, [Eyehategod] has a song called "White Nigger," which is about our old bass player Mark [Schultz], who used to act black. So, as a joke, we named the song, "White Nigger." That was in '93, man. To us, it was taking the stuff we were into as kids and being even ruder. But after [longtime Eyehategod drummer] Joey [LaCaze] died and we were practicing with Dale [Crover] from the Melvins, I called out, "Okay, let's do 'White Nigger.'" And he was like, "Ah ... that kinda hurts, man." So, I said, "We can call it whatever you want." So he goes, "'White Neighbor,' maybe?" So, from now, on the song is called "White Neighbor.""

Huh? Bower spends the whole interview either bemoaning or acting wholly confused by PC-ism and our current eggshell society but gets all "White Neighbor" 'bout shit? Wonder what they're gonna call Sister Fucker now?

Yep, I guess Dale garners enough respect that he isn't lumped in with people who weren't laughing when white power and salutes are getting thrown around.  Interesting how that works.

That's a west coast vs The South thing. Are these guys really racist? It's actually very integrated down there. People might associate more with their own race, but could you really live there if you were incensed to run across a black doctor or bus driver or grocery store clerk?

And made a wise choice to leave that song out of the setlist  :lol:

I know bower was pretty defensive of Phil when the "white wine" incident happened.
