MUSIC: Megadeth?

[TheWhoFreak]

I read a book for a research paper in college that looked at the lyrical content of the big names in heavy metal back in the 80’s (Black Sabbath, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, I can’t remember if they looked at Slayer or not). They found that most of the lyrics that appear to promote evil things actually do the opposite. I think that’s because, many heavy metal acts like to be provocative.

I would look at the lyrics myself, as you seem to already be doing.

If you remember the name of the book, I’d love to read that book. Even if you can only give me a vague guess, I’ll try to find it.

Yeah, me too.

Sheesh, you’re testing my memory! I read it (or at least parts of it) for a paper I wrote 10 or 12 years ago. I honestly have no idea. I wish I did because now I’d kind of like to peruse it again myself. I’ll have to see if I can find the old paper I wrote and see if I referenced it. (I’m a packrat, so I’m sure the paper is “somewhere” around…)

If you find it, please let me know.
