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 true,
Satan has been getting a lot of bad press lately.
Fevered ego, [profane]in oath mate! you not wrong there!!!!
but yeah, Sad to hear of this, although perhaps a little extreme that he stabbed him because of missed solo notes, it probably had a bigger back story...that's the media for you though eh?

i hate the way idiots think that all metal is satanic and evil, most metal is anti-war!
