      Lmao! Yeah, I remember a neighbor kid inviting me to church with his family one time in Mississippi... I must've been around 11 or 12. As soon as we arrived they put all of us kids in to a separate room for "Sunday youth studies", or some such shit. Anyways, this guy starts going on about how Satan was literally speaking to us through all of the popular music of the time. The biggest offender in his eyes were Motley Crue, of course lol. He went off for a good 45 minutes on everyone from Ozzy, to Madonna, to Led Zeppelin - he even tried playing "Stairway to Heaven" backwards on a turntable to illustrate how the devil was hypnotizing us through hidden messages in the music đŸ€Ł. But for some reason Motley Crue had him in the biggest twist. I mean, this guy was absolutely terrified of them! He was sweating profusely and kept blotting his forehead with a handkerchief as he yelled at us. He ended his little seminar by holding up a brand new copy of the Motley album "Theater of Pain" (because it had a scary pentagram on the cover 😂), and we all had to follow him outside to stand in a circle and pray while he burned the album in a barrel behind the church, along with a few others from AC/DC, Culture Club, and Nazareth. Such a strange mix of artists - I remember it like it was yesterday.
      On our ride home afterwards I remember the kid's father asking me how much I had enjoyed the experience of visiting their church, and we proceeded to tell him what we had witnessed. He apparently had absolutely no idea what they were teaching the children while the adults weren't around, but he thought it was GREAT. I had rarely been to church at all, and had certainly never been to a Southern Baptist church before, and I was SO full of questions, which kind of aggravated him - I guess I was supposed to just fall in line, so to speak. Even at that young age I was trying to poke holes in the "lessons" of the day... I mean, these were some of my favorite artists, and I suppose I was kind of offended in my own little 6th-grader kind of way lmao. Not so much because of what the guy had said about the music - I mean, the stuff that scared them so badly was the exact stuff that I LIKED about the music! But it was the burning of a perfectly good record that pissed me off the most, I think haha! On that ride home the kid's Mom seemed to know a lot more about that guest "youth speaker", and she had apparently been instrumental in bringing the guy there to teach the kids about the dangers of popular music. Looking back now, it makes since that THAT was the first (and only) day that I had been invited to join them for church service. You see, I was that kid who wore Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath shirts to middle school, and it was freaking out the parents in the neighborhood. They didn't want their little Timmy hanging around the likes of me! Funny, because I was an honor roll student, and a pretty respectful kid, for the most part. 🙄
      I think the breaking point was when I pointed out that the guy had to PURCHASE those albums to burn them, because they were brand new lol. So really they were supporting the bands that they were going on and on about! I was a little too young to come up with that on my own, so I must have been regurgitating some talking points that I'd seen on tv or something - "devil music" was a really big deal at the time. But it steamed the father up pretty good, and needless to say I was never invited back to church with them again. Funny, I don't even remember that kid's name, but that day sure left an imprint on me!
      That kid wasn't allowed to play with me anymore 😕 Shit, I haven't thought about that day in a looooong time!! And people wonder why I grew up to be atheist đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

    Yes Lex, there are rock/heavy metal “musicals”. You’ve reacted to some songs from them. They’re known as Concept albums. Tommy - The Who, Pink Floyd- The Wall and Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime. Tommy and Operation Mindcrime are literally rock operas. Which brings me to this: Mercyful Fate/ King Diamond. King Diamond does what could be described as heavy metal, horror, operas like “Them”, or “Abigail”, an absolute must for Halloween. It’s hard to make a first time recommendation, most people start with the song “Sleepless Nights”.

      Metallica's brand of thrash metal was essentially playing Venom's brand of black metal, but tightening it up, and with less of a Hammer Horror influence. That's why I always tell people that thrash metal was born out of black metal, not the other way around. Sadly, too many poseurs heard Cradle Of Filth or Mayhem first, so they think Venom aren't black metal.
