Flash forward a few years and you have the bassist murder the guitarist. I've heard two different accounts of why? The first and most hilarious is that the guitarist was murdered for wearing a white sweater thus shaming the "scene". Alternatetivly it Is said that the bassist thought the guitarist was going to kill him and film it, so he struck with a pre- emptive strike stabbing his band mate upwards of 20 times.

I'm not making this **** up. Google them for more wacky tales of debauchery.
The stories and myths surrounding Mayhem are quite popular and fairly common knowledge on these boards, actually, but yeah - they have an interesting story. Although there's been changes in lineup, they're still present and active though. Did they ever really break up? Not criticizing your suggestion, just curious.
