Do you know if Dave Mustaine of Megadeth is an agent of evil or if he’s a good guy? He is a born again Christian after battling a hideous narcotics addiction. He still plays metal .. that includes a lot of cool stuff from his addiction days. He doesn’t deny his past ... Its what made him who he is today. I don’t worship him ... However, I respect him as addiction is a powerful demon and requires a lot of faith to destroy.
I don’t think Jesus really cares much about the music by the way ... Hero worship can happen in any form of music ... I mean, how does “worshiping” a metal band differ from worshiping a Christian rock group?
I’ve listened to bands like Megadeth, Metallica, and Iron Maiden most of my life and never had an urge to conjure a demon or reject God and Jesus Christ. Metallica may have been possessed when they released garbage like ... And Justice for All, Load, Reload, St. Anger, and Death Magnetic, but they seemed to find that awesome Kill ‘em All/Ride the Lightning early 80s sound ... That means that they’re no longer possessed by some guy named Stan in my book.

You don’t have to have an urge. That kind of music summons demons all by itself.
