Slipknot Is In Legal Trouble. Yet another sad case where Metal is the "cause"?



The last time we heard the words legal issues and Slipknot were back in January when there was a death in one of their concerts in their home city of Iowa, or also the time when Slipknot threatend to sue Burger King for using their persona in their "Chicken Fries Commercial", but now once again the group find themselves in legal problem for yet another death but this time not in a concert but in California where two teens killed a friend of theirs, the young woman Amber Rose Riley wass accused of helping Jason Harris kill 22-year-old Terry Taylor in 2003.

But during their trial she said that what enticed her into the murder was a song out of he band's "Disasterpiece", that includes lyrics that mention the killing of a victim through slitting of their throat, Taylor was stabbed more than 20 times, and his neck was slashed in the brutal attack. Harris was sentenced to serve 50 years to life behind bars in August.

Harris reportedly told San Bernardino police detectives that he wanted to know what it was like to kill someone and Khim told the jury that Riley admitted to having "a fascination about what it would be like to see a dead body".
I wanna hear your opinions on wether you believe that murders should be blamend on heavy metal music?. I truthfully believe that rap is more likely to drive people to kill others because of its high content of curse words and lyrical themes for songs, a good example of this the genre best known as "Ganasta Rap". But what do you think?
