Death Metal

Posted Wed 10 Dec 2008 12:04PM GMT by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist

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".

"what they forget to mention is that the majority of metal players and metal fans are perfectly normal"

Do you want a disclaimer included with every story you read to point out that the majority of people are actually fine? This story doesn't imply that any metal fans are violent or Satan worshippers! You're imagining that it does!

You want everything to read like this?

"Michael Donovan was today found guilty of kidnapping Shannon Matthews, but please remember that the majority of men aren't kidnappers."

"Vinnie Jones today punched a man in the head, but at the same time, 5,000 ex-footballers DIDN'T punch men in the head."

"Amy Winehouse took loads of drugs and attacked a photographer today, but Duffy, Dido, Katie Melua and Kylie Minogue didn't because they aren't the same as Amy Winehouse."

Today I met a goth that chooses not to speak. He can, but doesn't. So when you talk to him you have to ask him yes or no questions to which he nods or shakes his head. "Will you put the kettle on?" "Just make a brew will you?" etc.. My point is that some people are really odd and do offensive or dangerous things. I blame the parents.

Sean, you suck. IRON MAIDEN [profane]!!!!!!! Not all metalists are satanist. If metals so bad, how come all the crime in my country is done by people who listen to rap?

this has nothing to do with the music, but rather the personas that epople take on when they brand themselves as "metal heads" people become too wrapped up in the whole thing that its no longer about the music, and more about agression towards one another, which is the complet opposite to what music strives to acheive.......or maybe they are just mental

look, people like different music, get used to it. now go and do some homework, or take some drugs, whatever you sad immature kids do these days. stop wasting your time on pointless sites like this, and get off your backsides and contribute constructively to society. stop being lazy bums and get some work done. I would also like to point out the shocking number of spelling mistakes you lot have made.
Do not call me a hypocrite, i have a worthwhile job in conservation (i'm in my lunch hour)so while i'm out saving the planet,you lot are populating it with total [profane] and being a total waste of space. now turn off the internet which your parents have obviously paid for and get a job.

Did Sharon Osbourne always go to gigs with eggs 'just incase the group disses Ozzy?' Also is it not illegal for a 19yr old to play with a 16yr old? ;)
