In 2007, the band released its Eternamiente album (A joint of Eternally [Eternamente] and he lies [Miente]) with the hit song "Yofo. "

Controversy

The band also faced a further hurdle when one of its songs was interpreted as a slur against homosexuals. The song "Puto" (literally man-whore; "puto" in Mexican Spanish means gay male, similar to the American slang word "faggot") was actually supposed to be about those who will not stand up for themselves. Puto is a song by the Mexican band Molotov from their album ¿Dónde Jugarán las Niñas?. Faggot or fag, in modern North American and Australian English is a word and generally a Pejorative slur term for a gay or In Mexico, like many other parts of the world, homosexual slurs are also used to refer to "unmanly" behavior such as cowardice or cheating. As a result, Molotov's first tour in Germany was met by crowds of angry gays and lesbians. However, this information was not widely circulated until much later.

In defense of the band and its use of the word "puto," producer Gustavo Santaolalla told an interviewer from the Spanish language rock and roll magazine Retila:

“ About the homophobic thing, I'll clear that up now: in the song 'Puto,' the word is in no way used as an attack on the homosexual community at all. Gustavo A Santaolalla (born 19 August 1951, in El Palomar, Argentina) is an Argentine Musician, Film composer Rock en Español ( Spanish for Rock in Spanish) refers to the Spanish-language Rock music. Retila Magazine was founded in Los Angeles in 1995 by Guillermo Quezada Rafael Martinez and Frank Barbano It's used like the word "turro" would be in Argentina, for example, a guy who is . . . hmmm. . . a wretch, a loser, a bad-vibe guy. It's not an insult to a homosexual. The lyrics say, 'Puto, who takes away our grub/Puto who believes what's on the news. . . ' It's directed specifically to that type of person. And as for the sexism, the songs are all made with humor and aimed precisedly at all that Latino-Macho mentality. ”

Santaolalla further compares the use of "puto" to Mark Knopfler's use of the word "faggot" in the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing," which he mistakenly states was not criticized. Mark Knopfler OBE (born August 12 1949 Glasgow, Scotland) is a British Guitarist, Singer, Songwriter, Dire Straits was a British rock band, formed in 1977 by Mark Knopfler (guitar and vocals his brother David Knopfler (guitar " Money for Nothing " is a song by British group Dire Straits, which first appeared on their 1985 album Brothers in Arms and subsequently

Despite these initial problems, the band pulled itself together, leaving its more major controversies behind. Since then it has produced popular albums with the most recent release Eternamiente in late 2007. Eternamiente is Molotov 's fifth album which was released October 16 2007 Molotov's music has a large following in Mexico, where it is played frequently on some Mexican radio stations along with the United States and, to a lesser degree, Europe.
