I dont think most normally mannered, civilized human beings would leave a church service until it was over. I know i never have or would...unless it was a snake handling "church".
Remember in the 80's how Amy Grant was raked across the coals? She sang a lovely and tasteful duet with Peter Cetera? So ridiculous.
You see.....everyone assumed Dio was saluting Satan. Thats a nice, and dare i say, touching story of where Dio really got the gesture. Rest in Peace my man.
Axe??? Do guys seriously still buy this crap. If you want to smell good guys buy a bottle of good fragrance, not cologne, and expect to pay close to $100.00 smackers on a decent bottle of it. I know about these things. I'm the king of fragrances.....mens and womens.
Alot of the heavy metal bands are not "satanic" anyway. They dont worship the devil. 99% of them are just normal dudes playing extreme music and doing outrageous things in their stageshows and videos. Take Iron Maiden for example. Bruce Dickenson is a family man. He has a couple of kids and a wife and seems like a really nice guy. The same goes for the fellows in Metallica. Laid back guys with views most Americans have about things.....i saw their special on MTV years ago and they were all perfectly normal guys who experience the same things the average, non famous loser experiences. Vince Neil is another good examply. He had a daughter that he loved very much who died a few years ago and it crushed him. The people in these bands are not some blood sucking, murderous people.
It was the 80's and we were young and impressionable......and brainwashed. It doesnt happen anywhere at the level it did back in the 80's but i think christians have evolved greatly since then.
WOW. That sucks. I bet you had an awesome collection. I got rid of alot of my music and other rock related items in the 80's too. We sure were brainwashed back then werent we?
I was the same way by thinking bands could send me to hell and i was listening to Bananarama at the time!!! No band is as satanic as Bananarama was LOL!!!
That album was really lame. Also, i wasnt metal. It was big band music and it sucked big time.
Are you kidding me. Number of the Beast is probably the best NWOBHM album ever released.
