Musician Ahmad Dhani has caused an uproar by wearing a replica of the uniform worn by Nazi military commander Heinrich Himmler in a music video dedicated to presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto and running mate Hatta Rajasa.

The music video features Dhani and three other singers '€” Husein, Virzha and Nowela '€” performing a cover of the British band Queen'€™s song '€œWe Will Rock You'€.

The lyrics were changed to glorify Prabowo.


Your comments:

Dhani is probably very fortunate that this incident happened in Indonesia. If it had happened in the US or Europe he probably wouldn'€™t last long enough to hear the recording if it were ever released.

At this point he might as well give up any idea of showing his face in nations with real music industries. This just goes to show how much Indonesia fails at teaching history or the value of copyrights.

This guy is wearing a uniform and feeling like the coolest guy on earth '€” he had no idea a problem like this would come up.

Dhani made a fool of himself, Prabowo and Indonesia!
