Death Metal
19-year-old Italian heavy metal singer Cristina Balzano has been arrested for stabbing the guitarist in her band Soul Cry after he fluffed a guitar riff.
Balzano allegedly stabbed the 16-year-old guitarist for playing the wrong notes during a rehearsal session after accusing him of "sounding evil".
Balzano has now been charged by Genovese police for attempted murder.
The incident is not the first altercation to affect the heavy metal scene.
Founder of Norwegian black metal outfit Burzum, Varg Vikernes is currently in jail in for the murder of Øystein Aarseth, guitarist for rival metal band Mayhem. Although his motive was unclear, the murder is though to have been "a power struggle between rival leaders of the Satanic circle".
British rockers Iron Maiden were famously pelted with eggs by Sharon Osbourne and her cohorts during a gig in the US after lead singer Bruce Dickinson "disrespected Ozzy".
It's all about the house music and it always will be ;o)
Check your facts, you don't know what you're talking about.
It's not the first 'altercation' to affect the heavy metal scene? Of course it isn't and you can guarantee it won't be the last. So what?
What about the altercation with 2Pac in the rap scene? And many other rappers? What about 'altercations' in other musical genres?
I really fail to see the point of this article.
I've got to agree with TheScientist... it's all about the House music.
It's not just metal!
In that case she should have eaten a live grenade for putting him through that TV show just to engorge her own fevered ego!!!
