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".
PS. you just lost
Why did she have eggs handy at a gig? Did she just drop in to the gig on the way home from Asda?
Mind you, music ain't what it used to be .. etc. etc.. warb warb.
You know damn well that one week in every
four some bloke is gonna get hurt.....
Wonder whats next??? Getting shot for singing the wrong song maybe?, now that would be evil and funny in a kwerky sadistic way. Unfortunetly violence is a pressing factor in different musical genres. Again it re-instates the argument that knives should be BANNED full stop people and violence can effect anyone. Its not just the thug on the street but the budding lead singer in your band could just as well be stab you. You can never be too sure or trust anyone nowadays. Stay safe.
