Man, I thought he'd never die.

I don't think he will be missed. On the other hand a few people might be seen dancing in the streets.

Yea. When the heavy Metal movement was going on in the 80's, all I saw in magazines was: "Remember, kids. Uncle Charlie Loves you." And in every Heavy metal mag there was, including Metal Edge

Heavy Metal had some strange messages. I know a lot of it was done for publicity, the darker the better, shock value, or what ever. Let's just say I had my share of MTV blasting in the living room when I was a kid and watching my brother get whip lash while jamming out. Yeah, head banging....crack...."Mom!".

underground metal gets so little air time. most idiots who dont know anything thinks metal is a bunch of guys who look like girls singing love songs. the 80s thrash scene was about as heavy as mainstream metal got, with themes that wouldnt have been out of place in genres like outlaw country, punk rock, even blues or opera. metal still does folk better (primordial, everything out of greece), history (marduk for example is the johnny horton of black metal), progressive themes (i hate prog but its there), political commentary (gwar, every thrash band), scifi stuff (vektor), human nature, flaws with out society, spiritual themes, any anything obscure, occult or damn right satanic. needless to say metal is pretty diverse in theme and style. then stack on top of that actual musicianship and talent (the ones that dont cheat and fake it, im looking at you canada). or you could listen to a computer sing in place for some scantily clad girl without a shred of talent with songs that just repeat 2 lines over and over again.

as for charlie, rip, he will be missed. spins album:

it sucks but its better than whats on the radio.

anyone who weaponizes hippies is metal in my book (even though the album is terrible hippie music). and the serial killer doesnt bother me as much as the society we live in that has a knack of mass producing them.
