This article’s title is « Rock Music and Violence ». The article begin giving an example of a violent concert : Guns N' Roses (July 2, 1991 in St Louis, Missouri). There were a riot, and the police had to come to re-establish order. Then, there is the story of a boy which did a crime. This man became violent because of the “hard metal” rock music. The last example quote lyrics from the song : “I kill children” by the rock group Dead Kennedy. That lyrics are very violent. The article explain that in heavy metal, 50% of songs speak about killings, 35% about Satanism and 7% about suicide. Studies have been made in the USA, and its shows that violent is the result of contemporary films and music. It also notice that many rock stars died from alcoholism, drug abuse… So they have a bad influence on teenagers. I think this article is interesting because it gives many true examples of violence in musics. However, this article come from a religious website, and is highly oriented. We have to relativize. Not all teenagers become mad because of that musics. Vocabulary : -Death metal : another word to say “heavy metal” www.orthodoxphotos.com/readings/rock/violence.shtml
