Like Tolkki's, Vikernes' mind is a mess
Tolkki's disorder is completely different than Vikernes.

I think that was sometimes in 2003. And yeah, that tells you a lot, doesn't it?
yes, it does...

I did know that he escaped prison once and was captured shortly. The thing I never knew was that he was captured in a car (probably stolen, I guess) with guns and stuff...

I'm not a fan of black metal personally however I have many friends who like it, but even they agree that what Varg did was horrible.

I agree with what bathory said that he tries to justify his actions by claiming some kind of ideological intellectualism and thus tries to make his deeds seem like they are okay.

I can never understand or condone anything that he does.

Until this day he claims that Euronymous went karate on his ass and he only tried to defend himself.

Even somewhere in, like, South America, a black metal guy killed a priest or something relatively recently. Plenty of suicides and violent crimes too.
I was mainly thinking about the Norwegian scene. You can find murders, suicides and crimes within any music scene if you do some digging.

Actually I don't think Vikernes has any disorder whatsoever. He has very extreme and fukked up views but I don't think he has any mental issues.

To be honest I think that would have happened sooner or later. There was such a competition about who was the toughest guy on the scene at the time that Euronymous would probably have done something similar sooner or later. Of course his self-defense claim is bullshit.

That's what's the most annoying. There is so much violence in US hip-hop scenes yet over there it seems ok. Both by the authorities and the audiences. The more street cred the better. These fukks are all criminals and they lead lives of such luxury it is unbelievable.

I heard it wasn't really a surprise, and that some members of black metal bands at the time heard Varg wanted to kill Euronymous, and that maybe Euronymous wanted to kill Varg.

The thing is that it is difficult to make the difference between someone saying "I will kill him" but who is not going to do it, who just hates the person, and someone saying " I will kill him" and who will really do it. Even when you know the person, you can't really ever know if he'll cross this line and commit murder, or just keep hating the guy...

One good movie which dives into the metal scene and has some great bits on the black metal scene is "Metal:a headbangers journey"

if you haven't seen this movie check it out, it's a documentary made by a fan of the metal scene.

Actually he made a 2nd separate 30 minutes documentary about Black Metal because in the main movie he mainly focused on Varg and Church arsons.

yep, both are very good, you actually get to understand the various scenes in metal a lot better.

I mean for us metal heads it's stuff we already know however for those who don't understand it helps to explain it better.

it's too bad the two could not have had a public duel. Those would be fun to bring back, could make it pay per view.

But be careful. Varg will attack you without taking 10 steps, stab you to death and claim it was self-defence and say you went karate on him.

Axl Rose and Vince Neil are too gay to do or go anywhere beyond words. At least the black metal guys really did the stuff they talked about.

I bet most of these "wild rock 'n rollers" would shit their pants if they met someone like Faust, Varg, Euronymous or Gaahl(even though I hate him now cos he's a disclosed fag). Alice Cooper also would most definitely shit his pants. What a fag!

Well, according to Varg it was just an "accident" (mostly about the 23 stabs thing), so there was no real intention.

Actually Alice cooper finds the black metal scene to be a sort of spinal tap parody. He says he's actually met most of these guys and the hilarious thing is most of the time they aren't as scary as they make themselves out to be.

He says most of them come up to him and say "hey how are you mr cooper, my mom's over there could you sign her autograph?"

Its interesting how the metal styles known for getting the most women are also the styles considered the most gay by macho metal fans.

You don't drive 8 hours from all the way from Bergen to Oslo with a huge knife only to self-defend yourself when you get there. Snore Ruch can verify this (if you know who this guy is).

But, Alice Cooper is an old, retired pop-rocker. Who on earth would ever care what this irrelevant, ridiculous dinosaur of a rocker has to say-especially about black metal :)

Lol, I can't help but agree with this :) The Motley Crues of this world are getting all the chicks indeed :) But they're still gay :)

Bathory:I'm not going to get into this debate, you've obviously made up your mind,I disagree with you but there's no point in arguing.

I do agree that Varg is a bad individual who should still be behind bars,I'm not even sure how it was he was able to get released I thought he was sentenced to life?

Norway has a low maximum sentence, unlike in America where people can get over 7000 years.
