He probably sees the guys he wants her to date as harmless. Maybe he even picks the "not her type" guys knowing that she won't like them. The youngest son being wild actually helps explain it. He figures he's "lost" one, he's tightening his grip on the other two. Just wait until YOU have a teenaged daughter, my friend!
Just stay calm about it all, because blood is thicker than water and if you get between father and daughter, in the end it will be you that's blamed, whether you're at fault or not. But there's nothing wrong with you, you're a good guy. Just realize that it takes some people a long time to get past the stereotype of metalheads as evil heathens. Eventually he'll probably realize that you're a GOOD heathen!
You don't mention her mother; is she alive, or in the picture? If he's widowed or divorced, all the more reason he'd hang onto his "good" kids. Not saying it's right or wrong, it just IS. Hopefully you can hang until he comes around. Maybe try to talk to him at some point, if you think you can stay respectful and not ged angry. If you do, expect him to try to piss you off, he's testing to see whay kind of man is after his daughter.
As I said, someday you may have a daughter and you will understand his fears then! Hopefully the kid who wants to date your daughter will be a good kid under the exterior that scares you, too!
