"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind"An eye for an eye is kind of retarded.
I'm not so sure I believe the self-defense part, but if you were in his shoes charged with murder, you'd probably use any half-truth or lie to get a lighter sentence, it seemed more like a pre-emptive strike than anything, but whatever, what's done is done.Burzum definitely isn't mediocre. You aren't allowed to have opinions on black metal anymore.
Just so you're aware, Varg would be out in a few years even if he didn't get paroled, since Norway doesn't have life sentences. The main difference between him getting out now and getting out then is that he'll be able to be there as a father and husband for his young son and wife, something that they would have missed out on had he remained in jail for the rest of his sentence. He isn't dangerous anymore, and nobody has any legitimate reason to assume that he is. Nobody is justifying him killing Euronymous, but it clearly began as self-defense and keeping him in jail for a few more years wouldn't really make any difference aside from keeping him from his family.
Yeah, guess not if they don't contain the brilliance of the Black Metal elitists. I will be banned from this forum, which is fine. Are you people from metal-archives or sputnickmusic.? Can't handle a differing opinion. But, Mr. Omni, your second paragraph was explained well. I appreciate your mature candor.Burzum definitely isn't mediocre. You aren't allowed to have opinions on black metal anymore.

I did read "A Burzum Story" on Varg Vikernes's website and yes I read all of that in the past. Like I said, a pre-emptive strike on someone, it would've been better off if Vikernes and Euronymous had settled it with their fists instead of leaving one man dead, but the murder only adds to Varg's legacy as did the church burnings which bring about hype and fear, it seems like a question of "Do the means justify the ends?"You're aware that Euronymous told people that he wanted to get rid of Varg and called Snorre Ruch, who was in Mayhem and was Varg's roommate at the time, and asked him to drive Varg up to his flat, right? Snorre was too scared of Varg to actually assist Euronymous, but wound up driving him up there and became an accessory for helping Varg dispose of the body. He confessed all of this when he was questioned and got 8 years.
Can't all just get along regardless of differences of musical opinions?
