The story behind groups like Slayer releasing an album on September 11, 2001. Podcast on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-rock-n-roll-true-stories-podcast/id1876614383 My second YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@RockNRollTrueStories2 Slayer delayed their album by two months. Then it came out on September 11, 2001. On what was supposed to be one of the biggest new-release Tuesdays of the year, dozens of artists put out albums that would be permanently connected to one of the darkest days in modern history. For Slayer, the timing was almost impossible to believe. Their ninth studio album, God Hates Us All, had been delayed before finally landing in stores on September 11, 2001. Within hours, the album title, its violent themes, and its controversial artwork all carried a meaning nobody in the band could have predicted. But Slayer were far from alone. Dream Theater released Live Scenes from New York that same day. Its original cover featured a flaming apple containing the New York skyline—with the World Trade Center towers visibly engulfed in flames. The album was quickly recalled and reissued with new artwork, turning original copies into rare collector’s items. P.O.D. released Satellite, the album that featured “Alive,” a life-affirming rock anthem that took on an entirely different meaning in the aftermath of the attacks. Bob Dylan released the critically acclaimed “Love and Theft,” an album full of American history, blues, humor, violence, and uneasy imagery that listeners would hear differently after that morning. Jay-Z released The Blueprint, Nickelback released Silver Side Up, Fabolous released Ghetto Fabolous, They Might Be Giants released Mink Car, The Microphones released The Glow Pt. 2, and Yes released Magnification. In this video, we look at the strange, tragic, and sometimes surreal stories behind the albums released on September 11, 2001. We explore why Tuesday was such an important release day for the music industry, how record labels and radio stations reacted after the attacks, why Clear Channel circulated its infamous list of songs to avoid, and how artists’ carefully planned album campaigns were suddenly changed forever. From Kerry King, Tom Araya, Jeff Hanneman, and Slayer’s God Hates Us All to Dream Theater’s recalled album art, P.O.D.’s “Alive,” Bob Dylan’s “Love and Theft,” Jay-Z’s The Blueprint, and Nickelback’s Silver Side Up, this is the story of the most unfortunate release date in music history. These albums were not created about September 11. But once the world changed that morning, their songs, titles, artwork, lyrics, and legacies changed with it.
