GREG: DOES THIS FINALLY SETTLE
THE DEBATE OVER DEATH METAL.
LISTENING TO DEATH METAL MUSIC
DOES NOT DESENSITIZE YOU TO
VIOLENCE AS EVERYBODY USED TO
SAY.
ACTUALLY IT INSPIRES JOY.
RESEARCHERS HAD FANS AND NOT
FANS LISTEN TO DEATH METAL AND
POP WHILE LOOKING AT DISTURBING
IMAGES TO SEE HOW IT AFFECTING
THEIR SENSITIVE TOY TO VIOLENCE.
MET CALL HEADS ARE JUST AS
SENSITIVE TO VIOLENCE AS
EVERYONE ELSE WITHIN YOUR
PARENTS, YOUR PRINCIPAL AND
TIPPER GORE ARE ALL WRONG AND
OWE YOU THE METAL HEAD AN
APOLOGY.
THE DOMINANT RESPONSE TO THE
MUSIC IS JOY AND EMPOWERMENT.
FOR MORE ON THIS STORY WE'VE GOT
LARS ON THE PHONE, THE LEAD
SINGER OF IF BAND SATAN'S GROIN.
LARS, THIS IS A GROUND-BREAKING
STUDY.
WHAT WAS THE REACTION WHEN YOU
HEARD THE NEWS?
>> DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR
SONGS INSPIRING VIOLENCE?
[
>> I CAN SEE THAT.
IT'S GREAT SONG.
DO YOU WORRY THIS STUDY WILL
RUIN YOUR IMAGE IN THE WORLD AT
LARGE?
GREG: THANKS, I HAVE BEEN
HITTING THE GYM MORE OFTEN.
WE SHOULD HANG OUT THIS WEEKEND,
LARS.
FAIR ENOUGH.
THANKS LARS.
DID YOU EVER GO THROUGH A DEATH
METAL PHASE?
>> UH-HUH.
GREG: WHEN IN.
>> IN HIGH SCHOOL.
BUT THIS DIDN'T SURPRISE ME AT
ALL.
BECAUSE IT'S JUST MEDIA, RIGHT?
IT'S JUST MEDIA.
I WATCH MOSTLY "TEEN MOM" AND
TRUE CRIME SHOWS ABOUT MURDER
AND YET I'VE NEVER GIVEN BIRTH
AND I'VE NEVER GIVEN DEATH, IS
THAT A THING?
SERIOUSLY, I ALSO WATCH A LOT OF
"TODDLERS AND TIARAS" NEVER PUT
A TIARA ON A CHILD.
WATCH A LOT OF INTERVENTION.
PLAYED A LOT OF MARIO KART,
STILL CAN'T DRIVE DPP IF THIS
IF THIS WERE DREW I WOULD BE A
SERIAL KILLER CRACK SMOKING LADY
WITH THREE KIDS FROM THREE
DIFFERENT FATHERS WITH A PASSION
FOR CHILDREN'S CHOREOGRAPHY AND
MY PARENT
MY AARENT
MY APAENT
MY APARTT
MY APARTMENT WOULD BE LITTERED
WITH DEAD BODIES AND CHILDREN
AND IT JUST ISN'T, GREG.
NOT TO BRAG.
PEOPLE OVERBLOW IT.
AND IF YOU DO SOMETHING MESSED
UP AND BLAME IT ON MEDIA, YOU
PROBABLY WERE MESSED UP TO PE
AGAIN WITH.
GREG: MORGAN?
AGREE?
DITS AGREE?
>>
DISAGREE?>> I AGREE BUT WHY DIDL
DISAGREE?>> I AGREE BUT WHY DIDR
DISAGREE?>> I AGREE BUT WHY DIDS
DISAGREE?>> I AGREE BUT WHY DIDL
DISAGREE?>> I AGREE BUT WHY DIDO
DISAGREE?>> I AGREE BUT WHY DIDK
LIKE A WHITE WALKER.
>> THAT'S THE ISSUE YOU HAD WITH
THAT?
GREG: HE HAD QUITE THE VOICE.
>> WE'RE MISLEADING OUR VIEWERS
A LITTLE BIT.
WE DIDN'T SAY WHO PAID FOR THE
STORY.
GREG: WHO DID?
>> THE CHURCH OF SATAN AND THE
CANNABIS CORPORATION OF AMERICA.
GREG: WE TEPPED TO LEAVE THAT
OUT.
GOOD JOKE, THOUGH.
>> I HAD TO PREPARE.
TO BE HONEST.
>> MUSIC HAS AFFECTED MY LIFE A
LITTLE BIT.
I LIKE ROCK AND I RIDE A
RECUMBENT BICYCLE.
GREG: I DON'T EVEN GET THAT.
>> I DON'T KNOW.
DEATH METAL, I THINK IT DOES
MAKE PEOPLE VIOLENT.
MY NEIGHBOR LISTENS TO DEATH
METAL AND I'M READY TO GO OVER
THERE AND KILL HIM EVERY NIGHT
OF THE WEEK.
GREG: TYRUS, THOUGHTS?
>> BETWEEN DUDE GOING TO PORNS
WITH HIS MOMMA AND YOU HAVE A
CONVERSATION WITH YOUR CREEPY --
I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
THAT AFFECTED ME.
THAT PARTICULAR MEDIA AFFECTED
ME.
I THOUGHT ABOUT WALKING OVER
THERE AND BOPPING YOU IN THE
HEAD.
DEATH METAL IS A LITTLE TOO FAST
FOR ME.
WHEN I LIFT WEIGHTS I LIKE AK A-
AC/DC.
EXCUSE ME, THAT'S MY SONG.
IF YOU LIKE DEATH METAL, DO YOU
THING.
I MEAN NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO
DO IT WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE
WEIRD AS HELL.
>> IT'S HARD TO PICK A FIGHT
WITH A DEATH METAL FAN.
TRY TO INSULT ME.
GREG: YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE DEAD.
>> I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
MY EARS ARE BROKEN.
GREG: YOU KNOW WHAT'S
INTERESTING?
SO IT MAKES ME THINK ABOUT ALL
OF THE METAL HEADS THAT WE WERE
WARNED ABOUT IN THE 1980s,
IT'S BEEN 30, 40 YEARS AND
THEY'VE ALL BECOME WELL-ADJUSTED
PEOPLE.
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, I HAVE
BEFORE AND AFTERS.
THESE WERE PEOPLE IN METAL BANDS
IN THE '80s AND NOW WHAT ARE
THEY DOING?
THIS IS THE FIRST GUY, HE WAS IN
A BAND AND THIS IS HIM NOW.
CHECK OUT THIS GUY.
HE WAS KIND OF BIG IN THE '90s
IN NORWAY.
EVERYBODY, THAT'S PRESIDENT
BUSH, IN CASE YOU CAN'T
RECOGNIZE HIM.
CHECK OUT THIS GUY.
LOOK AT HIM.
HE LOOKS A LITTLE SCARY.
[LAUGHTER]
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW.
THREE PLATINUM ALBUMS IN
SCANDINAVIA.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST YOU MAY
RECOGNIZE HER, OR MAYBE YOU
DON'T.
