A list that would also include songs like "You Dropped A Bomb On Me" which might make sense to remove for hyper-sensitive listeners, but the list also include other songs like "In The Air Of The Night" by Phil Collins seemingly because it has the word "air" in the title. And you know, you can't have airplanes without air... so shame on us I guess?As singer Serj Tankian explains: "Our single “Chop Suey!” was taken off the airwaves by Clear Channel along with thousands of other songs, with the intention of, I don’t know what, to be honest. “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” was [taken] off. Any type of protest music, any type of the word “sky,” you know, “die,” “suicide.” It was just mind-numbing." - Tankian, The Fallout Over Clear Channel's Do-Not-Play List... Alison Stewart, The Washington Post (Oct 8, 2021) Guitarist Daron Malakian was not concerned, as he told an interviewer: “In music, that’s a badge of honour... So many great rock bands have been banned. It’s almost like you’re not part of the cool group if you’re not banned once or twice. I think it made the song more popular.” - Malakian, The Story Behind The Song, Dave Everley, Metal Hammer (Apr 1, 2021) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWeHVfhWSvU

"Fortune, fameMirror, vainGone insaneBut the memory remains" The song describes a Hollywood celebrity who has long outlived their 15 minutes of fame. And whom else would come to mind when thinking of washed-up movie stars besides Marianne Faithful? After her break-up with Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones, her career was never quite the same... Okay, I'm just kidding. I really don't know much about Marianne Faithful other than she was a popular singer and actress from the 60s with a distinctive voice that had allegedly developed as either the result of laryngitis or years of drug abuse. Possibly even a combination of the two. This unique vocal characteristic was dubbed "whisky soaked" by some critics. It was also this unique vocal characteristic that caused producer Bob Rock to recommend Marianne to perform guest vocals on "The Memory Remains" because he felt her voice would be a good fit for the song.As James Hetfield told an interviewer:"We needed a real character, been-through-it-all voice... We got ahold of her and she agreed to do it. So, we flew to Dublin on the way to Belgium. We met up with her in the studio, went in and got her drunk and then she sang this bit. It was perfect. She definitely had the voice and it created a real eerie vibe." - Hetfield, Five Things You Didn't Know About Reload, Jon Weiderhorn, Revolver (Nov 17, 2017) Marianne Faithful would also join Metallica on stage to perform the song for Saturday Night Live on December 6, 1997. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBQ5wJ7fDhU
