Maybe you're right. But Freddie liked to say these words about 'motherfucker' on many concerts during LK tour :)
EDIT: Yes, DOTL is from Barcelona's show, but quality is not very good so I can't figure what Fred said exactly (my bad English...), but line was more closer to what you wrote.

Perhaps the reason for not labeling is the thought that the consumers (who will buy a queen cd, or pink floyd cd, or any number of other classic rock artists who have avoided the label...) are, for lack of a better term, older. just my 2 cents.
The parental advisory stickers are just bullshit!
If the kids can`t buy the CD`s the they will download them.
But the funny thing is every kid knows the F..K word, and probably they`ve learn it from their parents, and i really don`t see were this can damage their kids brains/behaviour.
As for violent messages, that`s another story and i agree that this type of music shouldn`t get in the stores in the first place (with or without sticker).
Take care

LOL @ Nummer2!!! :) You're entirely right. And this IS indeed censorship.
All the kids know the "bad words" from school anyway so why bother with censoring TV or music? That's even worse than censoring Janet's (very ugly) tit :-)
But there are always people who do mind. When Big Brother was launched here, the 12 people walked in the house and their first reaction was like "shit, what the fuck is this?" And that was in prime time, 8 pm, millions watching :-)
So true. American authorities are expert on censorship. And beating people's basic rights.
Fucking moralists.
Hey, why don't you show a little respect.
It is not censorship if they provide a warning--as opposed to refusing to sell the CD or provide unedited versions, which would actually be censoring.
Argentina has its own problems, chap.
Censorship is bullshit. Its bad enough that movies are censored, we dont need the same on CDs. Music is art, art can often push boundries yet there isnt huge stickers slapped on paintings to cover up any nudity.
There are no Parental Advisory stickers on any Pink Floyd albums. DSotM uttered the word bulls---. Animals had the f word on Pigs. The Wall had three swears. The s word twice(once on Nobody Home and once on The Trial) and balls on Mother. The word balls was bleeped out of American TV. The Final Cut on Not Now John, they said the f word seven times. The Division Bell had the f word once. The Rolling Stones same deal.
This is from the RIAA's site:
"The decision to label a particular sound recording is made by each record company in conjunction with the artist."
So from what I read and understand, and maybe I'm wrong, but I think the record label and band are the ones who decide whether or not to send their album to the RIAA before its release and they're the ones that stick the Parental Advisory label on it.
So I suppose the reason Queen never gets the label here in the U.S. is 'cos Hollywood Records doesn't send their stuff to the RIAA for review before its public release.

I KNOW the reason.
Music aimed at young kids that can get kids attention easily, has parental advisory stickers.
Twisted Sister is an 80's band that had them, and I never hear any swears in their songs. But the group was aimed at teens and young teens.

Sorry, but don't they have any bigger problems in the USA? First they should prevent kids from carrying guns at school or smoking crack, then they may think about how to keep them from hearing oh so bad, bad words.
Please excuse my anger, but that's the way censoring starts.
spot on - apparently from one Walmart store in America they only sell the censored version of the 'Permission To Land' by The Darkness (no swearing and pixelated image of behind view of naked woman) but from the same store you can buy enough bullets to ensure no-one on your street will ever swear again.
Also, don't you fink it's strange that some programs bleep the 'hole' and leave the 'ass' whenever somebody says 'assh*le'? As if the whole ass (or ass-whole) itself is okay, but once you start talking about a specific region, it's attack of the 50ft Mary Whitehouses.
Sounds like it's just any excuse to sue someone. Let's face it, you can't look at someone funny in the US without risking getting your arse sued off.
