Metal will get an even shitter rep then it already has.

LET THE CENSORSHIP BEGIN!

ohh if my mom hears about this..she's going to worry even MORE about me going to shows
*sigh*
i'm sure it's going to be sensationalized in the news even more..

ughhh

Of course it will be, drugs, violence, satan worship and a slew of other horrible things will be cast onto heavy metal.

sodomy!

these things only happen in norway, only in norway

I know someone at work whos daughter died at the station fire....she is gonna give me shit about this, cuz i play in a metal band too

Well the point is, metal on the radio will probably come to a complete hault, and the government will force it's ways onto the internet and broadband radio shit. This is bad news for us.

Ill be packing onstage now.

maybe the herald will call it a hardcore show and metal will be off the hook for once

The scary thing is its probably true.. and clubs and bars will be even more cock sucking now about having bands play

just because of one trigger happy bastard

it sucks because the recent violent incidents at metal shows have been isolated incidents. the dimebag shooting, the woman getting paralyzed at the cradle of filth show, and the bouncer stabbing that guy at that other headbangers ball show were all isolated incidents, the paralyzation one being an accident.

I definately think it's true. Thank god the Middle East is still independently owned.

the media is going to misconstrue it of course, and everyone will suffer

I bet insurance companies will use all the events as a way to stick it to the clubs for higher costs. We can expect less venues in the near future as well.

These things really do not happen all that often... an isolated instance occurs , people shouldn't lose their heads ,less venues would suck, because there really aren't that many now...

I honestly believe this is what will happen now. That murder will just be the trigger

You are probably right and the prospects of such things fill me with hate and dread

The clubs it would probably effect the most would be smaller places like Obriens, TT the bears, the Midway Cafe, etc

Oh, and bigger ones that are corporate like on lansdowne street, they wont hold much anymore id imagine because they dont need to.

obriens already seems to be going to hell in a hand basket

First thing I thought when I heard the news: we're so screwed.

My dream of eventually opening a club just got crushed. I can see metal detectors and ticket prices at $40 next show at the Palladium.

It's going to be tough, but heavy metal will overcome...as always. Hopefully with less posers.

that won't happen. carina and I've been e-mailing back and forth with the girl that runs massconcerts all day.

i was just going to reply something similar
lol

What the fuck does she know?
Club owners won't have any saying in that shit, it's going to be city codes, building inspectors and all that crap.

yeah, I don't think metal will suffer all that badly. the media has jumped all over it before, especially during the 80's with the ozzy/priest lawsuits and less so with the black metal killings. Now Ozzy is a warm and fuzzy tv star, and even black metal has been watered down enough for ozzfest and headbanger's ball.

metal is still relatively safe as far as shootings, stampedes, stabbings, etc. go; let's hope common sense wins out here.

there are idiots who jump to all the wrong conclusions whenever something bad happens. it'll happen again this time, but metal will survive it. it might be rough for a little while, but things will be ok.

*horns up*
*group hug*
*larissa sprays patchouli everywhere*

Patchouli? WTF? Hippie Metal Larissa?

hahaha, sugar magnolia and Hallmark greeting cards too

ack! if I go to work smelling like patchouli my dorky boss will think I'm high

Anne likes her natural stench, no soap or perfume for her.

I can already see the stupid media tying this in with shit like the club fire down in RI -- "Are Heavy Metal Concerts Safe?" -- a 48 Hours "exclusive" with John Stossel. I hate that moustached fuck.

If you can get shot walking down the street scratching your ass, you can get shot at a concert. End of story.. has nothing to do with metal


"the riffs made me do it"

riffs make me eat meat

they make me wanna attack yngwie

*sweep arpeggio slicing through yngwie's twenty chins*

mmmm...sweep arpeggios...

litacore said:

thats what I had in mind, pretty much

Yngwie, to Pantera : "I do not like jelly donuts"

you've unleashed the fucking fury

maybe yngwie had him hit

i dunno, Yngwie's in such a different orbit

and I do mean ORBIT

hes not thinking too much beyond " I am a guitar god, I am god, I must eat everything I see"

I think I heard somewhere he has scantily clad 80s video groupies walk around lighting his cigarettes for him because he is such a guitar god

hahahah

i'm not sure if it'll go in that direction. it might be like 9-11 with security in the airports. instead of make insurance higher, the insurance companies might require metal detectors at the door and more security which might make ticket prices go up. just my thought.

it comes down to the lyrics. i think peopple know that the more offensive shit is more just a part of the "act" so its not so scary to them now.
and there seems to be alot more "uplifting" lyrics now too, so hopefully people will see the good as well as the bad

Fuck him, I am glad he's dead.

Stupid venue should had been more responsable.

Indeed but after 3 days without shower I finally gave up 30 minutes ago, and went home in the middle of the day to have a beer and a shower.

AUTOPSY_666 said:

Will you stop posting these ludicrous messages all over the place? No one cares about your mindless opinion, which appear to be "he was in a few bands I don't like, so he deserved to die." Isn't that the jist of it?

appears*

I start one serious thread, and it actually got serious replies.

Fuck you faggots, jews, and niggers. Ah, now I feel better.

hahahahaha

No more like, he was human, he was breathing, he was not innocent and I don't care that he died.

i think there will definitely be more heightened awareness when it comes to metal shows. after the station fire, pyrotechnics weren't banned anywhere...they were just more carefully inspected, firecodes changed and doors had to push open from the inside. with 9/11, there was just more paranoia and safety precautions when doing everything, as well as the whole unity of the nation shit. look at all the rap shows that have happened in the past...stabbings, brawls, shootings, blah blah blah. rap has been televised and open for the public to see anywhere and everywhere for years now, and those incidents didn't change too much in the rap scene, neither underground nor mainstream. so pretty much what i think is that there will be metal detectors and such like others have said, ticket costs may go up a bit, but most likely only at larger venues, and security will just be a bit tighter (hopefully). with all the exposure metal has been given recently, i don't think this one event will destroy any chances of metal staying alive. aaaand i'm done.

the cops name was niggermeyer.. wow..

Awesome fucking security at the venue. Always a fuckin loser out there to fuck something up.

Nothing short of a nuclear fucking explosion will wake up Americans from their ignorant slumber.

Just got a nice Desert Eagle 44, with a 10" fucking barrel. Come invade my stage.

A big FUCK YOU to the club and its lax fucking security.

HUMANITY IS THE DEVIL.

I doubt it. If anything there will be more attention directed towards Pantera and most of Dimebag's work. Record sales will go up. Censorship is nothing to be afraid of. Death Metal and Black Metal don't fear censorship. So what if they censor it, what's that gonna do make it more underground? If so that would cool. We'll see what happens. This was the MTV Headbangers Ball Tour after all, so there's no telling what's in store.
Honestly Joe, why do you fear metal getting a bad rap so much? It already has a horrible rap as is. It's pretty obvious. Half the kids in the scene hate each other and refuse to accept opposing existences. After all that's what has drawn up this event.
The media will have their fun with this but fuck them. It's always been that way and always will be, that's why it's fucking metal. You should know that by now dude!
This thread is sensationalized.

Commit suicide or you're the biggest poseur ever. Oh wait, you signed a wigger metal band, you're already a total poseur. Darryl had way better taste in music than you do. I never liked Pantera but they blow away anything on your gay label.

You sure post a lot about something you claim not to care about.

I saw something this morning on CNN. The editor of Guitar World was talking about the incident and made sure to mention it has nothing to do with the metal scene. He even made comparisons to John Lennon, which coincidentally was assasinated the same day Darrell was killed.

yeah...everyone forgets that this was just an isolated incident caused by some nutjob
