Lights… Camera… Revolution! is the fourth studio album by the American crossover band Suicidal Tendencies and was released in 1990 by Epic Records .
History of origin
The recordings for the album took place at Rumbo Recorders and at Amigo Studios in California . Mark Dodson , who had already produced the previous album How Will I Laugh Tomorrow ... When I Can't Even Smile Today , was hired as producer . Robert Trujillo replaced Bob Heathcote as bass player in advance. He created new funk influences that expanded the earlier hardcore punk style. This shifted the style more towards metal .
After the album was released, the Suicidal Tendencies tried to expand their audience. In September they played a few shows in Europe with Testament , Slayer and Megadeth as part of the Clash-of-the-Titans tour. In 1991 a US tour followed as the opening act for the progressive metal band Queensrÿche .

Song content
You Can't Bring Me Down and also other lyrics of the album were to be understood as a reaction to the negative attitude, especially of the European press and the American censorship committee PMRC . The US hardcore scene, which has not given the group a good hair since the band was founded, was also attacked in the songs.
Further information
You Can't Bring Me Down was used on the soundtrack of the film Guncrazy , the song Send Me Your Money and its video were used in the Beavis and Butt Head series.
