"20 Scariest Musicians and Bands"

[ChrisJordan]

Surely the scariest musicians would have to be the guys in the Massed Bands of the Royal Marines. They have artillery...

Erm, you're confusing them with The Royal Artillery. The Royal Artillery have artillery.

Err... sorry but they do...

29 (two-nine)Commando Regiment Royal Artillery are spearhead troops trained as amphibious, mountain and arctic warfare specialists. They can equally operate at the other extreme in the desert or jungle. The Commando Gunners are equipped with twelve 105mm Light Guns and Fire Support Teams (FSTs) trained to coordinate their firepower.

They also have the guns on the ships they use, and can call in airstrikes. Like to see the Nordic puff try that!

I'm guessing the bottled it when considering Gary Glitter.

Royal Artillery are British Army, not Royal Navy, which the Royal Marines are. There was also 20 (Commando) Battery Royal Artillery which provided air defence capability to 3 Commando Brigade.

But why listen to me, if you go to your Royal Navy website, you'll find your link is under Attached Army Units?

I'll have two bottles of port for your errors: Please bring along to Axe_FX-tival.

Thank you.

Well I think that your Count Grishnackh was more of a guerrilla warfare style person. You can't fault his hands on approach

You wouldn't want to be in his gang!

they can control their insanity and violent tendancies until they decide to apply them in a dedicated and sustained manner. Good lads all round.

I think you're using a different definition of scary.

Guns on ships and airstrikes? Yeah, Saving Private Ryan really gave me the shivers, great horror film.

Those "Black Metal" (as opposed to purple metal or pink metal) bands are basically a wee bit silly. I suspect the vast majority of their audience are teenaged virgin males weighing in at under 9 stone and with hideous acne. Proper scary musicians are people like Lemmy and Keef, the sort you go for a night out with and wake up three weeks later with several STIs a headache, a dead dwarf in the bathroom and six hookers locked in your closet and no idea how they got there. Ozzy has at least done shit loads of damage, survived the lot and lived to tell the tale. The article should have been called "musicians who might be scary if you were a 7 year old girl"...

Um, the members of the Black Metal scene really do make Lemmy, Keef and Ozzy look like Peewee Herman. Let's see what controversey they've been involved in:

Varg repeatedly stabbed and killed a member of Mayhem (Euronymous) whilst chasing him down a flight of stairs.
When Mayhem were writing/recording an album of theirs (I forget which) in an old house in the middle of a creepy Norwegian forest, their bass player, "Dead", blew his brains out with a shotgun. Euronymous founds his corpse, took a photo of it and used it for a live album cover (Google "Dawn of the Black Hearts"). There are also rumours he took bits of his bandmate's skull and made a necklace out of it.
A member of Emperor was jailed for stabbing a gay man, for no reason other than he was gay.
On top of that, all kinds of people in this scene burned down a load of churches.

There are tons of other horrible things done by these people. And all of them are a damn sight more scary than getting off your face on heroin too much and being promiscuous. And if we're going on fanbase stereotypes, then being an overweight, middle-aged pub rocker who hasn't listened to anything released in the past 50 years is no better than a teenager with acne.
