https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqAPVB4u9Zs Another case of a band being accused of encouraging fan suicide, Judas Priest found themselves involved in a civil action that alleged they were responsible for the shotgun suicides of 20-year old James Vance and 19-year old Ray Belknap from Nevada, USA. Their parents alleged that a subliminal message contained in the song 'Better By You, Better Than Me' from Priest's 1978 album 'Stained Class'. The prosecutors insisted that a subliminal message instructing listeners to 'do it' had been included in the song and that this command had then led the young men to take their own lives. The case was eventually dismissed after it was decided that any subliminal message within the song was not responsible for the suicides. A victory for common sense!
I love Heavy Metal, and generally anything that involves a guitar and loud noises, so I figured it was about time I put all the useless information in my head to good use and start writing a few things. Most of the time I'll be writing nonsense but occasionally I may surprise myself and appear half-way knowledgable.....but you can be the judge of that. Thanks for your fleeting attention!
