" I came home drunk, and felt bad , it must have been the music, couldn't possibly be the alcohol.

I've listened to metal for 40 years and still haven't killed anyone

"The upside down cross, a sign of mockery of Jesus." St. Peter: "Am I a joke to you?"

Parents in the 80s "metal promotes satan" "you need jesus" Their parents in the 60s: "l think Elvis's hips are the sign of Satan and sex" Their grandparents: "music has words?"

I forgot Iron Maiden was satanic death metal.

“Heavy metal bands like Kiss” Well if that’s not a knee slapper I don’t know what is

"satan is in rock" Meanwhile KISS in the background: 🎶i was made for ❤️ loving you🎶

Ah, the 1980s...where high schoolers looked like they were 30 years old with an ex-wife and two kids.

"like black sabbath and kiss" KISS? KISS?!?!? DID THEY JUST CALL KISS A METAL BAND?!?!? HELLO?!?!

"I prayed right there on a stack of beer" - quote of the year.

"It was meant to be a rocking evening with fans swaying to Metallica's beat" laughed so hard I choked, now my neighbors think I have covid 19

"I want to see Black Metal burned" Damn, that's pretty Metal

News: *calls Iron Maiden Black metal* Me: *laughs in new wave of British heavy metal*

“The upside down cross is a symbol of Satan and a mockery of Jesus” HAHAHAHAHAHSHAHAHAH. The upside down cross is the symbol of Saint Peter, who requested to be crucified UPSIDE DOWN because he didn’t see himself worthy of the same death as Jesus

6:04: "Dr. Keaton sees images of sex and death in all kinds of things" Yeah, right there's your problem.

4:25 "Like those idiots over there" Cuts to two people throwing a Frisbee 😂😂

"Heavy metal bands" Uhuh "like Kiss" *WHEEZE*

this is hilarious. i've seen Black Sabbath twice and each time Ozzy left the stage by saying 'God Bless You'.

First off, Praying on a stack of beer is metal. Micheal Chaloub "Age 17" looks 36 years old

these people remind of when i dated my ex. he HATED that i loved metal and bc of that, i left him. he didn’t accept me for who i was and what i liked. to this day, i still love metal🤘🏻

Before I listened to metal I was a happy, nice, and polite young man. After listening to metal however, I turned into a happy, nice, and polite young man......oh wait..

Parents: "It's just meaningless screaming" Also Parents: "Its people singing about satan"

This is freakin hilarious! I remember this time period well. The only thing Tipper Gore did was let us know which records we wanted to buy. LOL

I remember Manson causing a huge stir. My parents freaking out. I am from RURAL Louisiana. But I found that metal is the truest way to express what a lot of our youth is exactly feeling, not necessarily with violence. Go to a concert, get in the pit, old school and just let it out. Metal heads are some of the nicest people anyone could ever meet. Old school bikers are the exact same way.

Fun fact: the "horn" symbol that Dio made popular is an old italian sign that means something like: "I repel the evil eye that's upon you"

>Heavy Metal bands >Kiss *What*

Kid who likes metal: I learned about the battle for Britain from aces high and how we managed to save the country from the nazis His mum: where’s the exorcist I have the devil in my house

I’ve read more violent passages in their Fairy Tale book than I’ve ever heard in my 40 years of metal.

I'm still mad about Elvis swinging his hips.

"Like those idiots over there. They go and play frisbee in the middle of the field.." baaahahahah

Metal: Lyrics about historical events and feelings Society: ITS SATAN

On a side note: Ritual's frontman wanted me to join as their bassist back in 2014. My dumbass said no. :')

I hate being that anti-religious guy, but the logic of some religious people is just laughable.

"I prayed right there on a stack of beer" And that my friends is how you become a country fan.

3:20 *“You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them!”*

Aaaand news stories like this are why my mom took 20 years to come to grips with my taste in music. Thankfully, after 20 years of me simultaneously being a decent, responsible human, she finally came around and realized I hadn't turned into a monster. Helped that my dad also likes classic rock, and plays guitar himself, so he can appreciate the talent and effort it takes to play good metal. Now my 15-year-old plays metal guitar, and my parents are actually proud of how hard he has worked to learn. Keep being cool, keep rocking; people can get over it eventually. \m/

In the 50's the scapegoat was comic books In the 60's it was hippies and weed In the 70's it was violent television and movies In the 80's it was death metal In the 90's it was Rap Music In the 2000's it was video games In the 2010's it was the internet its self Unfortunately these people will blame anything to hide the fact that they are the problem. Their kids killed themselves not because of some backwards message found in the music, it was because they were in pain and you weren't paying attention. If your kid is wearing all black and dying their hair its because they want to escape the norms you thrust upon them. If your family is broken because your kid is into something you aren't it means your family was never that strong to begin with. Stop blaming the music and realize that you are the problem.

Black sabbath and kiss. Two bands that should never be in the same sentence.

I would like to know were this people whose the family were “damaged” are today and what they think about the things they said

I swear to God, the sentence "It was supposed to be a rocking musical event with fans swaying to Metallica's beat" will never leave my mind. It is burrowed in there like a brain-eating parasite and it is not leaving soon.

"I prayed on a stack of beer". Priceless.

I couldn't stop laughing at "A heroin addict needs his fix ...I needed to rock"

I love all metal, all kinds of metal. I have loved metal since my dad introduced me to it as a 4 year old. As a 36 year old man with three children, I will be passing this beautiful music on to them. In fact my 4 year old daughter loves death metal already.

2:51 Kevin was a paid actor and everyone knows it. Haha

My addiction to heavy metal has caused such harm to my family I over dosed on megadeth twice and blacked out on morbid angel many times my addiction has caused so much hurt

"those idiots playing frisbee in the field over there"

Kevin has a cracking mullet....”I prayed right on a stack of beer” I nearly spat my drink out

I lived through those days. Some of the best music ever made and the panic over it just made us love it more and go even harder just to piss those people off!

Funny I was listening to Judas Priest while studying one late night.... I was tired and heard those subliminal messages "do it,Do it, DO IT,!" So I went and DID IT! And scored an A on that test...

"a rocking musical evening, with fans swaying to metallica's beat" lmao

0:58 love that we're listening to Motley Crue while we look at the Black Sabbath logo 👌

i love how in the middle school one neither drugs or alchol where not a probablem but music was

Kevin is more metal then any of us. He got saved on a stack of beer.

“heavy metal bands like kiss” i have no words.

"If the band name doesn't say it all, the guttural lyrics do" Few seconds later: "Two guys dancing while holding hands"

I spilled my coffee all over the mattress. It's God punishing me for laughing at such serious reports.

1950s: "Comic books bad!!" 1970s: "Television bad!!" 1980-90s: "Metal music bad!!" 2000s: "Video games bad!!" When will people discover that is actually "Parents bad!!"?

That frisbee-hating bit was the most brutal thing ever recorded

I love it, listening to my evil metal songs while hugging my kids and take care of my granny... Yes, I'm a really evil person 😂😂😂😂😘

My Wonderful Childhood years. Thank you all those great artists: Dio, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Led Zep, Judas Priest, etc

"Michael Chaloub Age: 17" The goomba looks like he's pushing 30, please...

If metal is Satanic, then Satan has great taste.

That news report certainly takes me back to summer 1990. Great show.

I heard the words ‘do it’ over and over So eventually I did it , I clipped my toenails

"A heroin addict needs his fix; I needed to rock!" So true, my dude. So true.

“A heroin addict needs his fix, I needed to rock” Wow, my bro.

I like metal because it is an escape from the harsh reality and you realise our not the only one living with this shit, but no one says this about rap music like cardi b talking singing about sex and pop music talking about things that are too good to be true. It is just saying “hey, you’re not the only one going through hell”. It just expresses the truth that everyone lives.

"Da preps...like dey're in friggin' Hawaii or somethin, dey wear doze 10,000 multi-colored sherts and, y'know... like doze idiots ova'der, dey go play frisby indamiddleovda field!" Further testimony that apparently ya cant like metal/punk and not be outraged by sports. Shit had me rolling for a good 20 minutes. "whatsamattayouz, ah? JOYZEE."

"Came home drunk".... But heavy metal is his problem.. Ok, then. Guitar = bad, frisbee = good HAHAHAHA

Kevin had an alcohol problem. Not a Heavy Metal problem. Hilarious 🤣

This is fantastic!

6:07 I couldn't help but lol at her comments about Dr. Keaton! He must be a piece of work! 😂

"A heroin addict needs his fix, I needed to rock" that one's killing me omg 😂😂😂

I've listened to Heavy Metal since I was 8 and I'm fine, people are ridiculous

I listened to Metal in my youth...and it destroyed my life! I ended up being a Teamster truck driver!! I'm so ashamed...

These never get old for me. People are so dumb and don't understand that it's all an act to help others feel better.

"The Satanic Smell Of Success" would make a great album title, just sayin'.

Saying the killer listened to metal is like saying the killer was wearing socks

5:51 when Palpatine creates a metal song

Every time I listen to “Better by you Better than Me” I have this overpowering desire to do “it”.

''it was meant to be a rocking musical evening with fans swinging to metallica's beat''

Yo, Kevin my man, sounds like your problem's alcohol, not heavy metal

“Look at these morons playing frisbee.” That right there is a real metal head.

Best quote ever! "a rocking musical evening". Fuck that sounds like heavy metal to me

"Fans swaying to Metalica's beat" I like that. That's nice.

"I just prayed right there on the stack of beers." The basis of every 'murica meme!

Kevin is SO a hired actor

2:48 imagine noticing and commenting on the ways teens are expressing their frustrations and concluding that you need to pay closer attention to the music they listen to rather than listening more closely to why they're frustrated

Basically metalheads have been trolling Christians since the 80s

Kevin's problem was not knowing where to find an AA meeting.

3:00 Kevin is a pastor. He never listened to any metal. He listened to CCR

2:50 “A heroin addict needs his fix, I needed to ROCK!”. I expected to see Dee Snyder to smash through the wall screaming "I WANNA ROCK!"

"There is an upside down corss, depicting the mockery of Jesus Christ" Or you know, it could be St. Peter.

04:15 Michael Age 17 looks like he's 43 years old

“Do it! Do it! DO IT!!!!!” 😂😂😊

"like those idiots over there playing frisbee in the field" when the camera paned I fucking rolled💀😂😂

Tfw people constantly mix up Death Metal and Black metal

"I prayed while sitting on a stack of beer." Oh boy metal music caused all of my problems.

“The heroin addict needs his fix, I needed to rock” hahaha

I saw Ozzy decend to the stage in a sled, wearing a black unitard with an inverted gold sequin cross, that was horrifying.
