Mix Tapes
Everyone's made a mix tape (or CD, USB stick, or whatever kids do these days). Mostly to get in someone else's pants, but we're sure there are other, lesser, reasons too.
So, who did you make it for and why?
And... what was on it?

This is NOT the greatest mixtape in the world
Aaaaaaaaages ago, when I got together with Mrs. Doom, she was still friends with some of her ex's mates from the Games Workshop. They had a problem, and thought that we might be the people to help.
They wanted to play bastard loud rock music, as one might expect, but one of the mothers of a younger gamer had complained about the swearing going on in the background as little Timmy laid waste to hordes of Orcs.
We had a blank C90, a load of metal and rock CDs and a mission. 90 minutes of rock and metal with not a single swearword on it. This meant extensive scanning of booklets, inlays, artwork, and listening through tracks to be certain. Also, added to that, I'm completely anal about mixtapes, and they have to flow perfectly. So, off we go...
A whole DAY of this later, and I stagger away from the CD / Tape player content that I've made the loudest, cleanest mixtape the world has ever heard.
It starts with some ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead to get things going, then some Queens of the Stone Age (hey, she didn't say anything about drugs!), gradually increasing in heaviness until by the end of side one we've reached Coal Chamber, Deftones and RATM.
Kicking off Side II, we're journeying from the heavy back to the slightly less heavy so a little Soulfly and System of a Down, we gradually wind down with some At The Drive-In before nestling gently with a bit of Black Sabbath.
I was pretty chuffed, I'd managed to put a load of loud guitary stuff on there, not a word out of place. Job's a good'un. Send the tape off.
Fucker never even said thank you. Wish I'd filled it with obscene filth now.

Is there an RATM song without swearing?
He seems to like saying 'FUUUUUUCK!'

There is...
Freedom, from the first album.
And yes, I had to research that...
