Warzone
Warzone was a hardcore punk American skinhead band from New York City.Skinhead frontman, Raymond "Raybeez" Barbieri, was the group's only consistent member between its formation on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1982 until Barbieri's untimely death due to pneumonia on September 11, 1997. A U.S. Navy veteran, he was receiving treatment that many fans and friends have claimed was shamefully inadequate in a Veterans Health Administration facility when the illness damaged his liver and took his life at the age of 35.
Raybeez's small but loyal following accompanied the former Agnostic Front drummer from the nascent days before the "Youth Crew" era in hardcore punk, on and off of three record labels, before finally turning out en masse for two sold-out benefit shows following his passing.
He is often cited as one of the seminal influences in the genre, as well as one of its first major losses. Unlike the larger body of punk music, the highly youth-oriented hardcore music had previously felt very few such outpourings of grief. In the days after his passing, a sign hung from the awning in front of CBGBs that simply said "R.I.P. Ray." For more than a year following his death, every release on the Victory Records label was dedicated to his memory, as well as two independent compilations. Like the benefit shows following his death, these albums raised funds for several not-for-profit groups Ray had worked for which helped at-risk youth.
During the band's fifteen years and countless line-up changes, their primarily hardcore sound was flavored by influences ranging from oi! (they toured several times with The Business and played a cover of The Real Enemy), to traditional punk rock, and even an ill-received heavy metal phase (on their self-titled LP, Warzone). Their fan base, though, was equally diverse. Warzone shows were usually populated by skinheads (both racist and anti-racist), straight edge teens, metalheads and punks of all ages. It was a rare, and sometimes volatile, combination.

On the final question, whether it was likely that there would be another 9/11 in our time, McCain said it was "much less likely" now than it was in 2001 but that the nation has "a long way to go before we can declare America safe." Obama responded that we are "safer in some ways" but that the decline in America's perception in the rest of the world due to the war in Iraq has threatened our security. "One of the things I plan to do is restore our standing in the world," Obama said, using the example of his Kenyan father, who he said wrote a letter 60 years ago in an attempt to come to college in the U.S. because he felt it was the only place on Earth where "you could make it if you tried."
