is metal evil?

[ro/FW-t]

Now you see why groups like ICP and Kiss had trouble.

[υεlυεt • ωσмαη]

ICP totally.

Kiss weren't too bad, they made fairly mainstream music. When people couldn't see the band they weren't scared away by the music, radio-play for example. And when they got used to the music, they didn't mind seeing the band.

Many would call ICP sick, long before hearing a song of theirs. The band merabers themselves don't have to be evil to make the band grossly so.

Most metal songs I listen to, contain the essence of evil.

[John Kimble]

Images are evil.

[ifeellost]

Exactly. So many call them weirdos and evil so they make it appear as if they are. People have to have an open mind to see the real people in the groups. They're just making a living and some spread a message as well.

I think the only people who really think rock banRAB are evil are ignorant fools who only listen to pop radio stations. This thread is durab and I will never have these 2 minutes back.

[Bailey0825]

Most rap music for instance.

[Adrean]

People who think metal is evil, are evil.

Personally, I say that EVERY song has evil in it (even christian music). Without evil, there is no drama, no emotion. Of course, people believing that metal is evil to the point of avoiding it completely is downright pointless. Unless you have some sort of phobia of music, you listen to your favorite band, who more than likely has evil as an influence. Evil isn't the opposite form of music that is deemed okay, because there is no such barrier. Both 'good' and 'bad' are used in songwriting. Simply put, evil in a song, band, or music IS NOT a bad thing. That is my view.

then why did you reply, i wanted to get peoples reaction on this, think back to the 80's, when they started to put the advisory stickers on the albums, it was partly because people thought metal was devil music
