I hope that after the shooting that the violent music made carelessly by heavy mettle rockers slows down a bit. Not that I blame any musical style for the shooter, but it seems when people singing songs saying "mommy can I kill tonight" they certainly seem to advocate this mindless violence. There are crazy people that listen to all kinds of music, but I always seem to sense too much hate.

I was actually just listening to Lamb of God and was wondering when death metal was going to get blamed.

That's cute, but there's a difference between something that is clearly for entertainment purposes and something portrayed as legitimate information. Sort of like how a song about killing grandma is entirely different than, say, a news report that democrats are trying to kill your grandma. The latter might, you know, actually make people angry.

The media used to be all over it.

It was rock and roll causing the crime.

Then it was video games.

Then it was heavy metal music.

Drowning Pool doesn't play death metal. They don't even play metal (unless you think nu metal is metal, which it isn't). Get your genres right.

I don't think they've played much of anything for awhile. I also seem to remember the lead singer being pretty straight edge when he was alive.

Wasn't someone on here joking right after the discovery of this douche's YouTube channel about the media eventually making this link and blaming the music? Whoever it was is a fucking Nostradamus!

Portion of a song I used to listen to a lot in my teens:

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you

Yet somehow my father managed to live out his natural lifespan until a heart attack killed him in 1994 and here I am 42 years after this song was released and not once have I embarked on a shooting spree.

Unlike programing yourself with angry music?

Right...

Clearly this article is fail, the point of my post is that it is fail; Blaming anything for crazy, other than the individual being crazy so clearly stupid it amazes me that people honestly try to blame video games, glen beck and pac-man video games.

How ironic that I am posting to this thread while listening to Amon Amarth's "Death in Fire" song.

Remember the trials in the 80's with Ozzy's "Suicide Solution" and Slayer being questioned for the violent images in their songs? What about the records you played backwards that opened the gates to the 7th layer of hell?

Metal has always been under the microscope.

I had a cousin who listened to nothing but Barry Manilow and he opened a flower shop. His mother blamed the Copa Cabana and someone named "Mandy".

His brother did the same with Kenny G, he's a dentist now.

I thought those Door lyrics/music were so appropriate in Apocalypse Now. Took me right back to it all. Thanks for sharing.

And yeah, I also had to bear the criticism of listening to that genre of music from my elders who adored Lawrence Welk, that along with the times that music was created. *Meh*

Drowning Pool? Really?

Is this guy some sort of poser psycho? I think they must have apprehended the wrong person if he was listening to that.

yep, just like I haven't committed suicide though I've listened to Black Sabbath's Paranoid hundreds, if not thousands of times.

Heh - I always thought that was a crock. I'll freely grant a lot of it is blatantly pretty brutal. But anyone saying "Suicide Solution" urges people to kill themselves clearly hasn't bothered to read the lyrics. It's about alcoholism:


Wine is fine
But whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle drown your sorrows
As it floods away tomorrows

Evil thoughts and evil doings
Cold, alone you hang in ruins
Thought you'd escape the reaper
You can't escape the master keeper

'Cause you feel life's unreal and you're living a lie
Such a shame who's to blame and you're wondering why
Then you ask from your cask is there life after birth
What you sow can mean hell on this earth


Now you live inside a bottle
The reaper's travelling at full throttle
It's catching you but you don't see
The reaper is you and the reaper is me
Breaking laws, knocking doors
But there's no one at home
Made your bed, rest your head
But you lie there and moan


etc...

..and Ozzy is a man who speaks from experience on the subject... :eek:

millions of NIN fans are still alive after listening to Eraser. I think the lyrics are pretty straight forward.

"Need you
Dream you
Find you
Taste you
Fuck you
Use you
Scar you
Break you
Lose me
Hate me
Smash me
Erase me
Kill me
Kill me
Kill me
Kill me
Kill me
Kill me
Kill me
Kill me
"

hell time to fire it up right now.
