My question is....what music is responsible for so many americans becoming fat

Maybe we can blame Weird Al for that.

You know, Eat it, Fat, Lalalalasanga(that Labamba partody)

Agreed.

It's always so easy to blame others for your mistakes and that is why we will continue to see fingers pointed at bands/videogames/movies when tragedies like this happen. Ridiculous...

The same thing happen with ozzy that colinbine killings were blamed on that and the same happened with marlin manson, if all that is true then why is it only one or two people out of millions doing it, if it was all true then everyone who listens to it would do stuff like that.

Blame the music, blame the movies, blame the video games, blame the guns. Do ANYTHING but blame the person. Welcome to modern America.

What got me about the Columbine incident was that the media was quick to blame people like Marilyn Manson (who was huge at the time) and as it turns out Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold didn't even listen to Marilyn Manson. But I guess it's hard to sensationalize KMFDM as a scapegoat since the average joe schmoe would have no clue who they were.

Ask Frank Zappa said: "There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we`d all love one another. "
Charles Manson heard "Do you, don't you want me to love you?" And proceeded to murder. Some people are just crazy.

lol to the guys who unmasked Weird Al's diabolical plot to turn America fat and stupid!

I've heard that in one of his songs there's a backwards message concerning the devil and cheese!

Serial killers are not like other people. Many of them have biological reason for their malfunction. Their brains are simply different in the way they process sensation. Many of them have deadened responses and it takes more of "whatever" to stimulate them.

One of the best descriptions of this deadened response was provided by the BGK killer after his incarceration. I suppose allowing himself to be used as a psychological guinea pig is a form of remorse.

I agree. I bet a lot of people went to San Fransisco, and put a flower in their hair.

A lot of posters seem to be confusing Metal or Heavy Metal with Death Metal. There is a distinction... notably in the atrociousness and viciousness of the lyrics. Does it cause people to kill? I don't know, I'll leave that to the psychologists. However, I don't think much social good comes from it.

i think we can all agree that some lyrics can give the impression of disposable life, death being easy to deal out etc, but the one thing that everyone has to remember is that music is art, it is only the expression of one's being. and if people choose to take these things literally then i would suggest that they are fools. IN THE END, ITS ONLY MUSIC.

if people are that stupid to blame a bands lyrics for killing someone, then they must have an iq lower than their shoe size. a bands lyrical content cannot affect free will. quit trying to push the blame to someone else.

I hate it when this stuff makes the news. Everyone gets all paranoid that their children will turn into mass murderers if they listen to Metal. Not just Death Metal but ALL Metal.

I remember after Columbine the news was reporting that the kids played the violent video game Doom and listened to a band named Rammstein (which ironically I am listening to right now). I thought to myself "I have played Doom and Rammstein is one of my favorite bands... so am I in danger of shooting up a mall? (Substituted Mall for school as I am too old for HS). So far no homicidal tendency's... but who knows what the future holds if I keep playing violent video games (as of late been playing Fallout 3 GoTY Edition) and listening to Rammstein!?

The reality is that the people who committed the horrible crime the OP posted are social degenerates and what they listen to is much to do about nothing. Never has their been a case of Metal or any other music turning a normal well adjusted human being into a homicidal maniac.

Who remembers NWA? People who like them must be gang-banging drug dealing police shooting woman beating low life's... right? Not!

Well at least I am not angered by the stereotyping...

Charles Manson heard "Do you, don't you want me to love you?" And proceeded to murder. Some people are just crazy.

Actually, he said his murder spree was caused by messages he heard from the music of the Beatles. Thing was, once he heard the remastered CD versions he marveled at the improved sound quality, apologized and said he was mistaken, my bad.
No, but it is true that there is a statistical correlation of suicide between country music and the white (no apparent affect with black people) people who listen to it. "Country music is hypothesized to nurture a suicidal mood through its concerns with problems common in the suicidal population, such as marital discord, alcohol abuse, and alienation from work." - (S. Stack and J. Gundlach; Wayne State University and Auburn University

That's weird. I don't usually go into mall-rampaging mode until I've been Taylor Swifted to death by pop radio at work.

You would if you were 1% of 1% of the total population of Mentally Ill individuals....



But on the other hand Hank Williams Jr would do the same for those indviduals

SO MUSIC - does not make a difference

This S#!T is Propagated by the Nut cases that Burnt Blues Records in the 30's, Rock N Roll Albums in the 50's, Heavy Metal Records now - all as Satan's Work.

Music, Dancing, Gambling, Drinking, Drugs, Theater, Movies, TV, Condoms, Birth Control Pills, bright colors, Nightclubs, Bars, Literature, Free Thought, Democracy, Consumerism, Organized Religion, are all works of Satan

You know the Puritans tried this in England in the 1600's - they got the Boot
They came here - their descendants rebelled against the nonsense - while others are brainwashed into their nonsense now we have Evangelicals doing this telling us what to do - maybe it's time we kick them the hell out too. We can send them to Alaska!

More BS, they will make sure to attack metal. A big problem with the country these days is that no one is held accountable for their own actions. A few years ago all the blame was on Marilyn Manson. I listen to a lot of black and death metal and havent killed anyone.

video games too for SURE

Once met a 17 year old whose t-shirt said "ViDeo gAmes MaKe mE do BaD ThIngs".

He went on to tell about the video games he wanted to design someday, and about the report he gave at school presenting all the research on how video games make kids do bad things.

I loved him. Loved the idea of telling all those psychology researchers that teenagers were reading their articles and writing rebuttals in their high school class assignments.

Cattle Decapitation, the band whose album was found, are actually hardcore animal rites activists, protesting all forms of animal consumption & vivisection. I guess this doesn't change the fact that young metal fans still, for the most part, remain as dumb as ever. I'm almost ashamed to say that I was one of them. For me, the lyrics influenced me to do things like read books and express myself as bluntly as possible (...kinda like I'm doing now).

I'll say! I sometimes listen to Manowar. I was that close to buying a helmet and sword and moving to England.
