Heavy Metal Causes Violence (dancing, dance, hardcore, rock, albums)

I think metal does cause violence.

I bought Morbid Angels Blessed Are The Sick album a few years ago & after hearing it wanted to stamp on the CD & punch the face of the twat that recommended I waste £8 on that crap.

Just watching metalheads headbanging to an earscreeching guitar wankfest has the same effect on me.

I was first exposed to violent horror films before I was ten. I was'nt encouraged to watch them, alternatively I was'nt banned from seeing them either. I was reading horror novels in my teens, as well as experiencing Metal music (the 80's). I can honestly say that media does NOT CAUSE violence. is it a contributing factor-of course. The human mind is not immune to violence, but if you are taught about cause and effect as you are growing up, then it put's everything into context. My kids are taught right and wrong and show that attitude towards others. Good parenting is essential.

I'm a huge film fan, and the argument of whether films cause violence comes up many more times, and it saddens me when media related sources are used as scapegoats for society's ills.

Of course there are exceptions, and some people are directly affected by the media they experience, but I would argue that there is some underlying mental problem in the first place.

Now where's my f[u]cking axe?

There's no way in hell it causes violence (in sane people, at least).

omg I know lulz,,, metal is just screeming and fast guitars and drummer hitting the drums as fast as he can.- peeple shud stop worshpping satan.

Wow, I wish people were open minded on this forum but it just doesn't ever improve. From the Canadian musicians thread, it's clear to me that most people here are completely incapable of judging objectively as well.

I'm very open minded when it comes to music.
And I have no problem judging music genres objectively.

It's just the arseholes that attach themselves to one, with ridiculous displays of idiocy.

ie; headbanging/arm and leg flailing/moshing etc.

Ok. I didn't mean you had a problem judging genres objectively - I was referring to the people whose reasons for not thinking Geddy Lee was a great musician were 'Rush is gay' and 'I don't like Rush'. And also the Neil Young comments.

Headbanging is fine IMO, but I hate moshing/limb flailing at concerts - it destroys the show for people who want to enjoy the music.

Then move. Not being able to ruins it for other people.
