"The History Of Western Civilisation" is the second single by TISM off their 1990 album ''Hot Dogma''. ==Song== Though the title of the song indicates a rather broad topic for a three-minute song to encapsulate, the focus of the song is actually on the Western Suburbs of TISM's home town of Melbourne and the differences between those suburbs, which tend to be poorer, more working class and generally of a lower socio-economic status than the more affluent Eastern & South-eastern suburbs.〔Zumeris, Bronius (31 July 2002). (Review of tism.bestoff ), (Beat Magazine )〕 The song lists various offensive things a man can do, such as building an abattoir on Anzac Cove, as long as the man does not come from the Western Suburbs. If he does, he "gets what () deserves". According to the liner notes for the album, the song features a cameo blues harp appearance, performed by oft silent TISM member, Jon St. Peenis. The song was included in TISM's "best of" album tism.bestoff.〔 During TISM's performance of the song on the popular ABC show The Big Gig, the band members completely ignored the directions of and verbally abused ABC camera crew and staff, performed numerous stage dives and other dangerous stunts with expensive studio equipment, opened and consumed alcohol on stage, and scrawled offensive messages on the screen wherever close-up camera shots were attempted. As a result of their behaviour, TISM were banned from performing on the show again.〔(Footage of TISM's performance on YouTube )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The History of Western Civilisation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
