Heavy Metal Guitarist Was Stabbed 50 Times For Playing Poorly; More Details Emerge
- Dec. 12, 2008
|
|
The 18-year-old singer of the Italian gothic heavy metal band SOUL CRY and her 16-year-old brother, the band's bass player, are facing premeditated attempted murder charges after allegedly stabbing the group's guitarist dozens of times because he did not play well enough, according to the Associated Press. The 16-year-old victim was attacked Saturday night (December 6) after SOUL CRY rehearsed in Sestri Ponente, a small town near Genoa. He was stabbed about 50 times, mainly to his back and head, said police official Alessandra Bucci in Genoa. During the rehearsal, band members accused the victim of playing poorly, police said. The attack occurred moments later in a narrow alley. Cristina Balzano (pictured below) was caught by police holding a kitchen knife with a 7-inch (18-centimeter) blade, her brother next to her and the victim in a pool of blood, Bucci said. Read more from the Associated Press. A one-minute report on the case from Italian TV can be viewed below.

They stabbed the guy FIFTY (50!) times and he LIVED?!?!?
That's way more fuckin' metal then actually stabbing someone.
Horns up for the guitarist. That's hardcore.

one of 3 things will happen...1. she won't get signed and probably committed to a mental institution...2. she'll go to prison for life and will be too old to rock when she gets out....3. no musicians will want to play with her because if she isn't killed in prison first, she'll kill them...or ...they might say you sang a bad note and take her out...crap like this gets metal a bad rap...

Another backstabbing bit*h. Two horns up for the victim, provided he lives through it as I doubt he's out of ICU. Provided he survives, he's got his options open for a new band. Instant press.

It's bs like this that gives metal a negative stereotype. Can't wait to hear from the so called experts and their theories on "This type of music".

Regardless of whether or not one would piss in her ass (I would) the fact of the matter is, all this had been done, and with zero results. There's still some god aweful guitarist walking around out there... well, recovering from his 50 stab wounds at least.
Maybe he should start a hardcore band?
Everybody is crazy, and failing to kill someone with 50 stabwounds is even more pathetic than failed suicide.
Let them rot...

I'm glad I'm not the guitarist in that band. I wouldn't play well enough either as I have no experience in guitar playing whatsoever. It would have meant certain death!
