“Rock and roll all nite” is at least somewhat rock-ish. Try “I was made for loving you” that’s almost pure disco.
they’ve always been musical posers/sellouts. that’s sort of their shtick I guess?
to be so gloriously average but pretend to be cool but end up looking fabulously gay.
and their SOUND! sooo …average.
I was about 12 years old when they were popular, and I was in the market for posers with an average sound.
Nothing’s average to you when you’ve barely listened to anything. Many of us started their musical journey with bands we don’t enjoy anymore because we now know better ones.
that pedo band?
Christine Sixteen:
don’t usually say things like this to girls your age
But when I saw you coming out of school that day
That day I knew, I knew
I’ve got to have you, I’ve got to have youIt is creepy, not pedophile.
I know for most people this seems like hair splitting but there is a stark contrast between beeing attracted to a 16 year old (which only based on physical appearance is very normal) and being attracted to prepubescent people.
Acting on attractions is a whole different book.
Yikes! I don’t stand by my title for this post.
If you pay attention, lyrics about sex with minors was a common theme from the 50s (and earlier) to the 90s (and later).
“I get it up for the touch of the younger kind” ~ my Sharona - the knack, 1979
“She was just 17, if you know what I mean” ~ I saw her standing there - the Beatles, 1963
Girl, you’ll be a woman soon. Neil diamond
Don’t stand so close to me. The police
Sweet little sixteen. Chuck Berry
Etc.
It’s worth noting that Paul McCartney was only 21 and George Harrison only 20 in 1963. That’s a group of guys who hadn’t really matured much since they never had to face any of the challenges that we did at that age, and were constantly doted upon. I’m not excusing their lyrics, I’m just saying 17 and 20 (only 3 years apart) is not as creepy as shit like old ass Ted Nugent singing about 13 year old girls. That shit is criminal, and gross.

The incredible irony here is that there are so, so many death and black metal musicians that are genuinely better people than Gene Simmons could ever be. I would trust my kids (note: I do not have kids) around Cannibal Corpse and Cattle Decapitation. I would absolutely not trust Simmons around a teen daughter.

Well, maybe not at Pat O’Brien’s house.
If you left your kids with Cattle Decapitation you’d end up picking up a budding eco-terrorist which doesn’t sound half bad
Fair point; it seems like he wasn’t storing his firearms safely.
Hope he gets the help he needs. :(
Oh for sure, metal heads are for real wholesome ppl. Metal concerts are probably the lowest in some stupid peer pressure things or macho competitions (who can to the most x stuff, who has the most money, etc), and I absolutely know how many people react to someone needing some help. Maybe because we are a more diverse group related to age? Or because we are everywhere yet nowhere mainstream?
Depends on. Some places of the metal community outdo gaming toxicity-wise, especially pre-2010s.
Crazy, I’ve been to a couple hundred metal shows and never heard anyone say the N word. No one’s ever threatened to kill me or my family. Never heard anyone going around the crowed telling women to get the fuck back in the kitchen… like the fuck you mean?
I was the Metal Blade 25th anniversary show in Chicago–Cattle Decapitation with Goatwhore, Allegaeon, and Novembers Doom–and the lead of Goatwhore stopped the show to point out the guy that had his 10yo kid (with ear muffs!) at the edge of the pit, and told the crowd to be careful and friendly, because that kid was the future of the scene.
