The Greys said:Christianity created 'satan'. To appose christanity would mean to choose the the opposite of good. Christians use satan/hell as plan b.
metal_wrath said:I totally disagree. I don't see how you could tell someone to listen to music that is against their own beleifs. I would find it very strange for someone who is Christian to listen to Dark Funeral or something everyday, just as it would be strange for someone who is a supposed "Satanist" to listen to Christian Rock. Also I find it pretty mindblowing how someone could ONLY judge music by "talent", if thats the only basis of judging music, than why not do away with the whole metal genre then. And we could all listen to Steve Vai, or Classical Music, or Opera... Than we could get rid of the "metal" genre and only listen to mindnumbing music made by only the most talented musicians regardless of what message they are trying to convey.
It is perfectly acceptable to listen to music based on ideology, or principles, AS WELL as talent, or technical skill. That is why everyone has their own tastes in music.
If you listen to only metal there is not much political rhetoric to agree/disagree with. So I wouldn't really care about the political stance of a band, but I would consider the message in the music and the lifestyle of the musicians.Authentic Metalhead said:Ideology is rarely a factor in the bands I choose to listen to. As for me, I am against organized religion and do not associate myself with any specific political categorization.
