Oh waaa. Listening to all you poor little dears being offended by this article is making me laugh/puke (still trying to decide). Must be DU visitors day at FR. Are you all bummed out because one of your AD/DC/DimeBag/Scumbag heavy metal heroes got shot? I feel your pain (ha ha ha, good riddance). I know, I bet you feel I'm being "mean spirited" and "divisive" and "insensitive", huh? Get a clue, yo-yos. Bach was far superior to Scumbag/Dimebag (whatever) in every respect. And we as a society do have an obligation to teach our children that there are aesthetic values, and that there is a difference between Bach and Scumbag, the same way that there is a difference between the Mona Lisa and a Lucite encased turd. GET A GRIP PEOPLE!! Am I sorry that another human being got shot? Yes, I'm sorry that he got shot in the same sense that I would be sorry if some lawyer from the ACLU got shot. You people as so focused on the fact that one of you little heavy-metal childhood heroes got killed, that you missed the point of the article; we as society do need to instill some type of aesthetic judgment in our children. (And I got a news flash for you poor poor heavy metal babies: As far as role models go, Scumbag ain't it!)

You just can't accept that some people here admire someone you hate. Don't you long for the fascist state where YOU get to control how people raise their kids??!
Just for that, I'm bringing my kids up with Pantera and Black Sabbath.

I bet a lot more conservatives listen to Pantera than Bach.
BTW, you are an a-hole. Did you know the guy? He was respected in his community. He was an avid Bush supporter and a friendly guy.

I think you would make an excellent role model for children. Yup. We should all strive to make sure our children grow up to be like you.

Some of us admired Abbott' s skill as a guitarist. That doesn't make him a hero. If you want to see sad hero worship, go to some of the "Bush makes me so wet" threads.

Your post is almost as mean and revolting as the author of this article.
you say; "As far as role models go, Scumbag ain't it!"
Perhaps, but he is far better than you.

I knew I should have bought the old master instead of the lucite encased turd at last week's auction!

I don't know about you but a good deal of my conservative roots extends from growing up in a very macho environment. Although I am not a Pantera fan at a basic human level, part of my competitive psych is to beat whomever my opponent is. Whether that is football, pickup basketball, weightlifting, whatever.
I also have an MBA and have made a good living in the software industry for the last 5-6 years. Please don't take one sentence and pick it apart, I am well-educated and can argue economic reasons for being conservative. However I am just saying at my most basic thought level kicking butt in anything I do is a part of it, and metal helps play into that. I am still more of a Zeppelin, Pink Floyd guy, but hey.
Also my 7 and 10 year old sons have been taking classical piano since they were 5. However when I need to fire them up for a baseball game, its Bawitaba by Kid Rock, not mozart.
