The future of discourse between American metalheads...

[Dead Winter]

I love the part where the guy starts speaking about all the different types of black metal and comes up with three, and one was a spiritual preference.

"There's....uuuhhhh...paygunizum..."

Classic.

"People in the underground scene tend to have higher IQs &#8212; my own being 143." << that's so damn retarded it's awesome

"God just seems unreal... too much like a fairy tale."

Yea, so lets go worship Satan, who is under the same idea.

Last time I checked, that tour was back in October or November.

So if that's the case, why is this article coming out now?

 

[Lunar Still]

Because the footage was just so funny that they had to wait until they stopped laughing to edit it.

The funniest part was when he said, "it's a fact".

Oh those silly people who listen to black metal, they're just so silly

 

[Dead_Lioness]

That's funny... I just noticed this thread for some reason...


You want to know soemthing?
She interviewed me too.
Let me tell you the whole story..........

She contacted JAXX to do an interview about Dark Funeral, and wanted people to talk to about the music, (all this was probably back in November) The management at Jaxx gave her my phone number and contact information
and she and I have been talking on the phone quite frequently.
I never understood what was her motive to do this story, but I still gave her my best answers.
Needless to say, that just like any other reporter or someone who doesn't know "metal" or "black metal" the questions were very generic and mainly focused on "the satanic aspect" of the music. Being an intelligent person, of course I told her that most metal heads don't take the satanic lyrics too seriously and most of us love it for the art and music. (and yada yada around that)

*I* took her to the show at Jaxx too.... showed her the club, showed her people... I know a lot of great people that go to a lot of shows at Jaxx, and I told her she should also talk to them because they are great and smart:
BUT NOOOOO- out of everybody at Jaxx, she went and talked to those idiotic kids who wear corpse paint and that are 14 years old accompanied by their parents... she took pictures of some idiots who were all "goth" and KVLT
-well I guess that's what a reporter really wants...
why talk to intelligent people who can shed some interesting light on this scene?

I feared that I might be misquted and taken out of context and the longer it took to the Washington Post to publish the story- I was worried that my name would appear in the newspaper with out-of-context quotes.
So a few weeks ago, I gave her a call and asked not to be exclusively quoted (with my full name and all) - and I'm glad I did.
Not a bad story, but pointless IMO. What was the point of that?
and the guy she did end up quoting is fucktard who knows nothing about this music... shame.

So yeah, there you have it, I'm sorry I'm replying to this thread just now...

BTW: I am a little bit quoted but within the story: she never knew what Pagan/ Viking metal is, and never knew the difference between Death metal and Black and Thrash, and I was the one who told her about Metallica's story... anyways, like I said: we talked A LOT.

It took her a while to work on it, and then when it was done 3-4 weeks ago- it kept being pushed out of print because of the Oscars...

Just goes to show, don't write about anything you aren't fully knowledgeable about. I wouldn't write on any topic for any major publication so haphazardly. And she really should have interviewed a few 'normal' people there, instead of bigots, kvlt kids, and insolents.

Hello- she did! *raises hand and waves politely*

but us "normal" people who really understand about the music don't make a "good story"

 

[DarkNoise]

that's more what I was trying to say, but the amount of blood in my alcohol is not consistent with what it should be.

I finally read the whole thing too, and her grammar could use some work; ie, you never start a sentence with "And", or end with prepositions....

The Washington Post is owned by Robert Murdock, the fucking owner of Fox News, so it is very obvoius only the retards where given a voice in that...to portray the scene badly and make metal=satan

Oh, it's perfectly fine to end a sentence with a preposition; that's one of those nasty Latin grammar rules that people apply to our Germanic language.

Well, The story was sending mixed messages.
Satan going down market in the title.... niiice
A put down on Jaxx IMO. Intelligent people shunning religion. The different genres of metal. "Extreme metal is getting hip" might be the main point. But she's all over the place.....with no point at the end what-so-evah.
That's black metal , blurry lines between loving and hating God, between
fantasy and reality. Even Bittinger (the dumb fuck who was quoted), who calls church "boring, inconvenient and droll," won't be pinned down when asked, point-blank: Is there a God?
"There might be, there might not be. If something is there, I don't want to
limit myself."
It's just controversial enough that some people will read it and be shocked.
like the the Arlingtonian soccer Mom who's kid has gone goth
