The war on Heavy Metal

[Quellist]

Hey Rick, the 80's called. They want their braindead reactionary rhetoric back...

Seriously can imagine no reasonable explanation to how off base this idiot is. Unless of course he gets all his information from Jack Chick?

 

[IamLEAM1983]

Yes, Varg Vikrenes burned down a church. So what; that's on par with the same sort of douchebaggery you see on YouTube that ends up with a drunken fratboy in traction. It's a sad, sad waste of human potential and it involves the destruction of what I'm sure is a spiritual center for many people; but it won't warp several million people across the pond and turn them into Pazuzu expies.

You left out a couple of things Varg did. Like the part where he burned down 3 other churches. Or where he killed somebody. Or where he tried to kill somebody else. Or the part where he's a Nazi.

Thanks for correcting me. I think my point still stands, though. It's not one guy's complete and utter idiocy (as all of the above translates to idiocy in my mind) that will run the risk of having Metal perceived as some sort of unholy, Lovecraftian cacophony.

There's enough nice guys in the Heavy Metal scene to counterbalance Varg's clear and obvious... problems, to use a euphemism.

considering he also vowed to ban internet porn I would believe he actually sad that.
how the fuck does this guy get followers?

Christians. Of the most crazy variety. At least, that's what I'd wager.

or maybe just a random nutter that thinks the world should be 200% PC

Heavy Metal music isn't politcally correct but all the music on Radio one about sex is?
Here I was thought provoking lyrics on political issues was a more well developed artform than some overhyped overpaid bimbo blabbing about how much she loves dick.
But I guess not according to this dude > >
Mind = blown

So glad we get less of these madmen in the UK.

I'm just going to say that this story is from the Onion.

This thread is extremely depressing. People should learn to not take things at face value. It's really...bad.

 

[xplosive59]

Give this guy some Norwegian Black Metal

 

[Leadfinger]

"They would be forced to endure 30 days of non-stop "values based" music that promotes the American way of life as well as the free market. In order to leave, they will have to sing the chorus to at least one Celine Dion song."
It's satire.

 

[Battleaxx90]

So, they're trying to kill the Metal, huh?


Time to add this idiot to the list!

 

[Mcupobob]

I don't buy this for a second. In less Santorum just time traveled from 70's and hasn't realized it yet.

 

[Worgen]

I wish this was true, but it sounds too stupid to be true.

 

[gyroscopeboy]

The irony is Santorum is actually a sweet name for a Heavy Metal band!

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

?If you listen to the radio today, many of these brand new, so-called heavy metal music bands like Black Sabbath, Venom, The WASP and Iron Maiden use satanic imagery to corrupt the minds of young people,? announced Santorum at a 10,000 dollar a plate sock-hop in Valdosta, Georgia on Thursday.

The amount of stupidity in this sentence is actually mentally painful to read, i don't know if i should invoke poe's law, call troll or vomit in the bathroom.

Yeah, that was the line where I stopped reading and said "wow, this guy is an idiot". I mean, in the world of metal, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath are the "Golden Oldies".

This is like ranting about that new boy-band called the "Beatles".

I choose to ignore it because the speaker is clearly a moron and Black Sabbath is old enough I'm sure there are fans IN congress. They may not know what the internet is, but Black Sabbath I'm sure they're familiar with.

well I think he still thinks the lyrics to every metal song are: HAIL SATAN!!!!!! 100000000X

 

[sketch_zeppelin]

wait isn't this religious intolerance. Satanism is a religion and we have a politician targeting it.

Hey Escapists. Wanna knock a polition or two out of the race? Claim your a santinist and sue the fuckers.

 

[omega 616]

You know I actually had to check the date of this thread 'cos I thought I was back in the 60's and this thread was one hell of a necro!

"Heavy metal like black sabbath .... Iron Maiden" these bands haven't been heavy for decades, heavy metal now is more ... heavy. These bands seem more like aggressive rock or something.

It is nice that it's not games that are satanic though, blood for the blood god and all!

Or claim they sexually assaulted you, that's worked so far

ture but i'm actually being serious. I imagine you could actually sue. You likley won't win but if your lawyer is good at his job he should be able to screw their chances of getting into office with a scandle

 

[BiscuitWheels]

Are people still posting replies to that article taking it seriously? Jesus jumped up Christ, it is blatantly satirical. I mean, it couldn't be more obvious if hit you in the face with a fish. I don't want to accuse anyone of being thicker than three feet of lard, but you guys are leaving me with precious few options.
