Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01	John, the drummer from System of a Down posted this comment on their website: A tremendous catastrophe occurred on Tuesday, September 11 and although we may not fully understand the sense of helplessness felt by the families of the deceased, our lives have been greatly affected. While injustice exists in the world this in no way excuses, condones or diminishes the horror experienced in New York. This was obviously the end result of fanatic frustration, but the important fact remains: thousands of mothers, fathers, daughters and sons were taken from their families in a senseless act of brutality. No political rhetoric or talk of vengeance will bring them back. In this time of mourning, we must band together to show our compassion and respect for the families, who at this moment, live in a world of disbelief, shock and loss. Their pain is what we in a humanitarian act need to focus our energy on. In the hopes of rising from this tragedy stronger and more understanding of each other, we must open our hearts in an attempt to douse the fires of vengeance and murder. Please focus your energy towards positive thoughts and love. John Dolmayan System Of A Down Also, from Pearl Jam... September 14, 2001-The members of Pearl Jam, their co-workers and their families all wish to extend their feelings of sorrow and mourning to all of those who have lost family and friends during this terrible week And this, from Metallica: OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHIES AND THOUGHTS... Hi Everyone, Yesterday was a truly awful day in both US and world history. Many lives have been senselessly lost, and many more affected and scarred by the sheer enormity of this tragedy. We wish to add our sincerest thoughts and prayers to those directly affected by the tragedy and those who (like many of us) feel thoroughly shaken and destabilized by the events. Our words are meager in comparison to the tragedies, but they're all we can offer right now. Again, we are so sorry. It's at times like this that reaching out to each other, as many of you have been doing, is vitally important. Keep up the conversations, ...do whatever you need to do to feel a little better and know that every single person in this office feel the same sense of sorrow as you.... Again, to those who have lost family members, our deepest and heartfelt regrets. Take care everyone and hang in there, The Metallica Family "There goes my hero, he's ordinary..."
