If I were to murder anyone, I'd listen to Slipknot or Slayer before doing it. Not LP and not Metallica. Both bands have got some anger, definately, but LP's music preaches piece of mind, SIB is a good example. They seek piece of mind, a way out of their troubles. That does not include serial killing.

I totally agree.
Im not trying to rude but this person who was killing has mental problems if they think LP would convience them to kill, they probably think "I want to heal" goes "I want to kill".

It seriously annoys me that people blame stuff like music and games for violence. I mean, if someone is a serial killer, it's obvious they are more than a little messed up. They just snap, and do whatever serial killers do, and then try to find some excuses to make what they've done acceptable, or, I don't know, alledge temporary insanity or something. By blaming music, movies, and videogames for all the violence, they're taking the spot light off them and making people turn against forms of entertainment, and they're making themselves look like some poor little victims that where just a little overexposed to media. "Yeah, look at me, I'm a serial killer, you made me, Miss Society, how do you like it now!", that's what they attempt. Well, I think the problem comes from WITHIN the individual. I've watched violent movies,violent cartoons and I've played violent games. I have violent comic books. Am I a violent person? Hell no. I wouldn't hurt a fly. So that kind of stuff never got to me. Is it violent? Yeah, but it's just FICTION!! Strange how you never hear anyone say they're a serial killer because they watch CNN or Sky News. Because in real life, messed up violence happens everyday and is shown on TV, written on the newspapers, etc. So why blame music? Why blame movies? Why blame video games?? On top of it all, why blame LP?? Is it just me, or their music doesn't have the slightest bit of homicidal tendencies??
Gee, people are so weird sometimes... :(

That's so dumb.......People always say that things in movies and music such as violence, drugs, etc., make you do them. Well, they really don't. Most people have enough common sense to know it is fake. And to blame LP?! That's outrageous!!

that's pathetic!! OMG! That's the second time i heard something like that, in some town a long time ago a kid brought a gun to school and i can't remeber what he did with it, but yea. His friends blamed Linkin Park though. Cause they said that was his favorite band. Chester said something like this to that remark "saying that are music made him kill (or something) isn't any different then saying that the manase he ate for breakfast made him do it. We are sry to here that this happened though." I guess ppl just take the lyrics different ways, obiously that dude had some pyscho problems, and was mental. Well at least he has good taste in music :/

lol.. actually, if u watch some of the interview, he had a very horrible childhood. his parents would shoot at eachother and point the gun at him and stuff like that, and they were drug addicts and alcoholics.. im not justifying what he did, im just saying that the music wasnt his only reason that he said.

Listen to that interview cd [forget what it is called] and they mention this story... Or a similar one... but I think they are the same...
Anyway, thats just messed up...


Also, moving on to the quote^^^
These must be the lyrics they were hearing...

I wanna kill
I wanna spill
Blood from someone real
I wanna kill someone ive hated all along
Then go somewhere I belong...

bullshit but it's kinda of wierd you know I dont know about you guys but lp's song helped me alot,,deal with my shit and kinda thing,, but I also read in some old linkin park book(THE UNAUTHORISED BIGORAPHY IN WORD AND PICTUERS) that there was a fifteen year old schoolboy named charles andrew ,anyways he packed a gun in his bag as he set off for school.later that day he opend fire on his classmates ,killing two and injuring thirteen .and killed himself too
and his friend told that charel's favourite band was Linkin Park and that he listened to the album almost religiously and his favourite tracks were papercut and one step closer so the media decided to put the blame on the music that the killer was listening to

03-03-2005, 05:08 PM
yeah. i don't get it myself. in fact I don't get it period! he can sit there and talk about how he had such a horrible childhood... yet they insist on believing that it was the music/games/movies that allowed him to commit the crimes he did. didnt' the same thing happen to Marilyn Manson when Columbine happened??? I hope LP doesn't get nearly as much negative attention as Marilyn did.

They say music can alter moods and talk to you
Well can it load a gun up for you , and cock it too
Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude
Just tell the judge it was my fault and i'll get sued

Alright, calm down everyone. I've planned for this exact situation.

1st, I'll need some volunteers. PEople with experience in Breaking and entering prefered. Anyone willing to accept a suicide mission would be great.

2nd, We break into this guys cell.

3rd, we kidnap the guy and leave one of our volunteers in his place.

4rd, this is where things get difficult. We need to brainwash him into think Britney Spears convinced him to do it. Sleep depravation, abuse, drugs whatever it takes.

5th once he believes Britney made him do it, we put him back in his cell.

This is the best way to save Linkin Park from the same fate the Manson has.


...making a joke about a serial killer. Thats a pretty dark thing to do. A symptom of toadys culture that thinks little of death. Once again, I blame Britney.

I got some more info at this website www.blabbermouth.net

From Blabbermouth:
START QUOTE
Serial killer Richard Paul White (photo), one of Colorado's most notorious killers, recently spoke from jail about his crimes. He has confessed to six murders in the Denver area. A lifetime of untreated mental illness, heavy metal music and violent movies drove him to kill, he said, in an exclusive interview with CBS4 Denver News reporter Rick Sallinger.

Music was a big influence in his life, White said. His spree of killing was accompanied by a soundtrack of heavy metal.

"METALLICA probably the most," he said.

A set of lyrics stand out: "Guilty as charged, but damn it, it ain't right, there's someone else controlling me." (from METALLICA's "Ride the Lightning" off the album of the same name.)

Music by LINKIN PARK would also play in the background.

"I would listen, actually, to LINKIN PARK before I would kill," White said. "And, while I was killing usually that music LINKIN PARK was on."

A childhood of abuse, coupled with untreated mental illness, set the stage. A society filled with violence did little to hold back White.

"Today's culture, here in America, everything is based on violence," he said.

White talked about movies he would watch that influenced him to kill. There was one in particular, "The Boondock Saints", about two Irish youth who set about to rid Boston of gangsters.

"There's just a lot of killing," White said. "And it makes it seem right and makes it almost OK to go out and kill."

Add to the mix violent video games, such as Doom, that White played.

"I think they influenced me towards killing," he said. "It desensitized me to the killing, because when I pulled the trigger on the TV screen, something would just go away."

Linkin Park told him to kill? Rofl yeah, and Modest Mouse told me to drink bleach. And Stephen King told me to go find the Dark Tower. And J.R.R. Tolkien told me that, if I possess that one special ring, I can rule the entire world and then some with a whole army of orcs at my command. Might as well say the dog made him kill all those people, or as Allied suggested, Britney Spears.
Screw this guy. He is just a wacko trying to shirk off the cold reality that he killed six people in Denver, Colorado by projecting it onto a good, decent band.
He says that it is our society's fault that he did what he did. Whatever. Society is may have overstimulated images of violence, but dammit we aren't all running around killing people, are we? Exactly. It sounds like, on the advice of his lawyer, he is playing the "I'm insane but its not all my fault" card. How pathetic.

I smell bullshit. I don't know how he can justify a killing from listening to MUSIC. It's music goddammit >.< I'm sure a billion and more people listen to Linkin Park, and Metallica, and any other bands that he mentioned, but you don't see a billion people out there murdering people because of it. He is sick...sick in the mind and so incredibly screwed up and twisted. I hope he get's at least a life sentence >.<. It's always easier to blame the media and games, and music for the things he did, I wonder if he ever stopped to think that it's all HIS problem. It's his actions. Nobody elses. Go to hell and burn shithead :\

Huh. I'm sorta listening to the interview, and I'm not sure, but I THINK he said he killed a prostitute to put them to "peace". God told him that they needed to go somewhere better. o_0

OMFG! It got to the bit where he said he said the bit about listening to Linkin Park when he was killing and it felt "good". Piss off you retarded peice of shit >.< Urgh.
Urgh again. He just said that he's an emotional person and feels sad if he hears a sad song, and feels violent when he hears heavy metal. Like wtf man.... o0o yeah, I hear crazy guitar riffs, I heard drums, heavy bass, lets kill people... urgh.

Because, its like Chris Rock says when he did a routine on the Columbine Shootings...

It is easier to just blame video games and music, because America today feels that thier is no such thing as personal responsibility. Our culture puts to much emphasis on what influences these people and ignores the fact they are stupid, crazy nuts.
The only one who wins is the lawyer. :rolleyes:

so what? All he's saying is he listened to heavy music to get into the mood for killing people...... that's hardly Linkin Park's fault....
by the way, interesting to see this guy thinks of himself as some social commentator or something..... it's like, dude, you killed people. Shut up.

although I think it's a bit different with say, Slipknot and stuff, I mean if they ARE actually trying to influence people to do wierd stuff that's not good.....

It seriously annoys me that people blame stuff like music and games for violence. I mean, if someone is a serial killer, it's obvious they are more than a little messed up. They just snap, and do whatever serial killers do, and then try to find some excuses to make what they've done acceptable, or, I don't know, alledge temporary insanity or something. By blaming music, movies, and videogames for all the violence, they're taking the spot light off them and making people turn against forms of entertainment, and they're making themselves look like some poor little victims that where just a little overexposed to media. "Yeah, look at me, I'm a serial killer, you made me, Miss Society, how do you like it now!", that's what they attempt. Well, I think the problem comes from WITHIN the individual. I've watched violent movies,violent cartoons and I've played violent games. I have violent comic books. Am I a violent person? Hell no. I wouldn't hurt a fly. So that kind of stuff never got to me. Is it violent? Yeah, but it's just FICTION!! Strange how you never hear anyone say they're a serial killer because they watch CNN or Sky News. Because in real life, messed up violence happens everyday and is shown on TV, written on the newspapers, etc. So why blame music? Why blame movies? Why blame video games?? On top of it all, why blame LP?? Is it just me, or their music doesn't have the slightest bit of homicidal tendencies??
Gee, people are so weird sometimes... :(

I totally agree with this.

I think if someone has these things inside of them it'll show itself. It just needs the right trigger. You know, we all listen to LP and we're not killers (i hope! :D )

Well, he actually didn't BLAME LP by saying they made him kill. He talked about how he was very emotional, and how if he listened to a sad song he was sad... or if he listened to an angry song he became angry. A lot of LP songs are also emotional and some have angry lyrics, heavy guitars, and screaming. Aparently for this wacko, the angry LP song would set him off combined by "demons" telling him to put prostitutes out of their misery. But he even says "I don't mean to blame rock and roll or video games" ... so LP was not blamed flat out.

i couldnt be bothered to read the whole thread so i dunno if u guys have mentioned this
people say this all the time..with the jody jones case that guy told the papers nirvana (misspelt?~soz i dont listen to them) and marylin manson told him to kill

he was into satanism and everything though

he was weird...he wrote in his school bk uve neva truly live until u'v shaken hands with the devil

these people r idiots, so many other people listen to them and dont kill...i guess it must get to them on a personal level....

I wonder what LP's reaction was when they found out that their music inspires people to kill...
