Discovery Channel - Death Metal Music

[Mr Samsara]

Discription here ... it's on tonight. I'm gonna record it and watch it later tonight. It may be interesting....

I have a feeling they're going to use the Nightstalker murders in California and talk about Slayer even though they would be wrong.

 

[makethestringscry]

Oh thats fucking stupid.

 

[metal_wrath]

I wish I had my tv at these times

 

[Seance]

can't wait for the off-the-wall "if metal didn't exist, neither would murder!" conclusion of the show

 

[Tubbs]

Oh boy, this looks like a another excuse to make metalheads look bad. Not only does metal get zero air time, but when they show it, it's about negativity and pessimism. The people who made the program need to get castrated, or something. Even if the show is good, it's still going to focus on murders instead of the music. WTF.

 

[Zephyrus]

Well, it's a change of pace from the usual home decorating routine.

This rocumentry was shown on the beeb some months back...

Entertaining in parts, not much music.

I hope you get something out of it.

 

[makethestringscry]

Its funny they always use SHITTY metal bands as the example for their metal stereotypes..

They should play Opeth and then listen 1min and 15 secs into "Deliverence" and feel stupid.

 

[Tubbs]

In 1996, the parents of Elyse Marie Pahler took satanic death metal band Slayer to court in the US after their 15-year-old daughter was murdered in what was alleged to be a satanic ritual imitating the band's lyrics.

Haha wtf?

 

[WeepingMoon]

lol you read my mind. i saw this was gonna be on, and was gonna post about it

i reckon it's gonna be stupid. i'll watch tho. what the hell else do i have to do

i remember watching a show on discovery i think, about satanism, and satanic murders and they blabbed about slayer and stuff. it was kinda stereotypical. some people just don't get it

 

[Tumn]

I am watching it now, has Deicide on it and some kids that were involved in some satanic ritual in Italy and were killed. The guys involved were in Death metal bands and part of a cult.

 

[pac1288]

When is it going broadcast again?

 

[phagist_]

coz Glen Benton is clearly satan!

it doesnt take much for metalheads to look bad...

dirty, ugly, degenerate, drunken, stoner, anti-hygenic, narrow and with poor taste, and bafflingly arrogant given those previous attributes more often than not. a real shocker there.

edit: and i watched the show...it was ridiculous. fairly accurate, although one sided. they did make it out to be that all metalheads are satanists or whatever...except for that one scholar they interviewed who said thats a silly assumption and typically not the case.

Exactly. That's exactly what I thought it would be about (among a few other things). I never ended up watching the show, because I knew it would just be a stereotypical peice of turd.

 

[Seance]

Exactly. That's exactly what I thought it would be about

.

 

[WeepingMoon]

yeah that professor from stanford was the only sane person on the whole program.

 

[metal_wrath]

Those "professors" need to stop wasting theirs and our time, and write a book or something. Not a book about metal though.

Btw, did they say anything about Jon Nodvelt

 

[Opethian666]

Why don't they just interview metal_wrath? That should be sufficient for all metalheads to look bad for the next decennium.
