Music Trivia -> Music With a Warning Label -> Latest Entries
Long before the PMRC, music has been underfire for one reason or another. After the PMRC however, warning labels became far more prelevant with the black and white 'Explicit Lyrics' tag. We're looking to list all the albums with warnings EXCEPT for the explicit lyrics label (too many to list).
The 20 most recent entries are listed below. There are 32 entries in this section.
"So Far So Good," Bryan Adams
The "warning" is really on the CD itself. It's a picture disc made up to resemble a truck tire in appearance (a monster tire is on the cover too). There's the artist and album names, the track list and copyright info, written in a circumscribe format. After the record label credits and warning (copying prohibited, ...) there's a simple sentence: Do not inflate above 50 p.s.i. This "warning" is an example of humor more than anything else.
Anyday I'm Gonna Make Her Mine!
"Uh-Huh," John Mellencamp
Some fuddie-duddies complained about the cover art because it shows the rough-and-tumble longhaired rebel type Hoosier surrounded by angelic beings with satanic features (pointed tails and devil horns). Are they angels or demons? Hey fellas, just listen to the music.
Buckeye Skywalker
"Pornograffiti," Extreme
Extreme's most successful album originally had a "Parental Advisory" sticker on the cover until "More Than Words" became a hit. Then it was removed from future printings. Actually, the only thing obscene about the album was its title.
Rocky
"Pornograffiti," Extreme
Extreme's most successful album originally had a "Parental Advisory" sticker on the cover until "More Than Words" became a hit. Then it was removed from future printings. Actually, the only thing obscene about the album was the its title.
Rocky
"As Good as Dead," Local H
"Yeah Mom The F Word Is On This Record" (originally in the style of the standard Parental Advisory, later changed)
plasket
"Master of Puppets," Metallica
Some copies of the album have a warning sticker that reads "The only track you probably won't want to play is "Damage, Inc" due to multiple use of the infamous "F" word. Otherwise, there aren't any "s***s", "f***s", "p***es", "c***s", "motherf***ers", or "c***suckers" anywhere on this record." Absolutely classic.

"Use Your Illusion Volumes I & II," Guns N' Roses
"This album contains language which some listeners may find objectionable. They can F?!* OFF and buy something from the New Age section." Absolutely classic.
Jakko Wakko
"Steal This Album!," System Of A Down
There should be a warning that reads, "If you steal this album, good luck getting away with it!"
Travis
"Elephant Riders," CLUTCH
The album elephant riders has a warning label on some copies that says "Heavy: Lift With Caution!" A reference not to the weight of the CD, but the awesome music held within.
AJ
"Naughty Little Doggie," Iggy Pop
At least I think it's this CD(am at work so can't check) The warning is "Parental Warning: This is an Iggy Pop Record" as if it goes without saying there will be obscenities....and there are!
Linny
"The Fury Of The Aquabats!," The Aquabats
On the back of the album, there is an article reading Discoveries In Aquabeat, by Clucky Waffleskin. When you open the album, there is an extremely long page describing their superhero mythos.
Ryan
"All CDs," Capitol Steps
"Warning: This CD Contains Parodies!"
Jonathan S.
"not sure," The lads
Im not sure what the album is but in the booklet it says " warning. this cd may contain traces of peanuts"
Blairy
""The Spaghetti Incident?"," Guns N Roses
Explicit copies after 1994 contain this warning with GNR's signature: "Chock full of unsavory subject matter and explicit language, etc. etc. etc.... so don't say we didn't warn you!"
Ryan Froula
"Two Virgins," John Lennon/Yoko Ono
The cover shows John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono, just standing there naked. The album was sold as it was for about a two days, then they had to start selling them in a brown paper bag like package.
Joannna
"Freak Out!," The Mothers Of Invention
The track "Go Cry On Someone Else's Shoulder" carries the warning that it is "very greasey. You should not listen to it. You should wear it on your hair". Bear in mind that this was in 1966!
neptunevsmars
"Tubular Bells 2003," Mike Oldfield
On the inside of the booklett, there is the warning: "This stero record can still not be played on old tin boxes no matter what they are fitted with. If you are in possession of such equipment plese hand it into the nearest police Station", a reference to the 1971 album.
A.B.Smith
"Step By Step," New Kids On The Block
Donnie Wahlberg wrote in his thank yous "To the dude who wrote New Kids got run over by a reigndeer: watch out for a black Jeep Cherokee with no breaks. Peace chump!"
Celeste
"You Can Be Anyone This Time Around," Dr. Timothy Leary
This hard to find album, has a warning which says "This album is very dangerous". I highly reccommend this album because it has Jimi Hendrix on bass, John Sebastian on guitar, Steven Stills on guitar, Buddy Miles on drums, and of course Tim Leary on vocals. It is a very psychedelic recording. I listened to it ten times with a friend about 15 years ago. WOW!
Wade Brock
"Anthem Of The Sun," Grateful Dead
The B-side of the album says " careful do not stop on the tracks"
