    Could be MM

    I know that one of his songs does end with " you might as well kill yourself you're already dead"


    Jaysus and there was me thinkin' Marylin Monroes lyrics were about love and happiness.

    If by MM you mean Marilyn Manson, then he is mainstream Hard Rock and is no heavier than the likes of Limp Bizkit.

    People really shouldn't dismiss the impact music has on listeners so flippantly. It can, and does, cause people to act in otherwise uncharacteristic ways. Last night I was listening to rap, 2 hours later I found myself on the corner selling drugs and pimping hoes. That's not something I usually do and never thought I would do.

    Metal or Death Metal it all sounds the same to the old folks


    This is more or less true, to be fair.

    He's industrial metal/Shock Rock and some of his older work is pretty heavy.

    A 15 year old kills himself and the fuckking animals in the press look to pin the blame on music just to get an article out. This is a horrible tradegy and the kids family and friends lives have been undoubtedly destroyed by the event. Shameful reporting.

    RIP

    Well if you want to get into specifics then yes, you're right.

    But he is what I said he is in the broader sense.

    But Manson's music is basically bad karaoke of old electro pop songs, I doubt old folks would mistake it for death metal.
    He only gets his shock-metal reputation from the fact that he dresses like a transvestite dominatrix.

    Limp Bizkit are more like RATM eg Rap/Metal

    Well you know that and I know that but I reckon if you played this for older folks not in the know then I'm sure they would struggle to see a distinction.

    And my point is that the level of heaviness is pretty much the same.
    The style and approach are unimportant.

    Poor kid, guy had issues and needed some help. Blaming music is sensationalist at best, but I guess music does tend to evoke emotions from people.

    Wasn't crazy about anything he did after Mechanical Animals to be honest, Antichrist Superstar was his best work imo.

    Anyway, the point is a youngfella is dead and DM is being blamed.

    Madness. How many people have killed themselves and never listened to any heavy music at all? What's the excuse there?

    Some of the happiest, most well adjusted people I know have been listening to DM for most of their lives and they're doing just fine.

    This is just another case of blaming something that you don't understand and I'm not in the least bit shocked that this bull**** has raised its ugly head and unfortunately will continue to do so for as long as there are dull witted morons.

    Whenever I'm exposed to a few seconds of Westlife I feel distinctly suicidal.

    The only solution I can see is to kill said metal music band(s)

    Disgusting using this boy to push some ridiculous agenda.
    When some kid reaches the point where they are so low that the only option they feel they have is suicide, what makes someone think 'Lads, lads, d'ya know what would give this piece a nice edge - if we blame heavy metal'?
    Some seriously twisted people out there.
    People just generally listen to music that speaks to them and reflects how they feel.

    I wonder how many people killed themselves with no music playing while wearing pants.
