This may have went over in the 80's with headbangers ball being acceptable but I bet it would not have been socially acceptable in the 70's

Black metal's been around for years, it's not a new thing.
I have a few Gorgoroth albums, they're not bad.
If anyone thinks black metal bands have no talent, give Darkthrone's "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" a few listens. The songwriting is just awesome.
Marduk's "Plague Angel" is a good one if you really hate the thin production sound in most black metal.
Burzum have some good atmospheric type stuff too.
Sure some/most of it is, lyrically, about silliness, but so is most hair or death metal.
I was locked in when I watched it. Seems like they really went the extra effort to be evil. I just remember hearing all the shit about Ozzy being the devil, biting a bats head off and getting rabies. He gave Jimmy Swaggart and the other televangelist the ammo that rock was the music of the devil. Then came Marlyn Manson he got the religious community all fired up. Could you imagine these guys in the 70's though? I just think that it would not have been allowed to happen. Hell there were towns that dancing wasnt allowed in not too long ago.
Edit: I do think that is an EBMM Stingray Bass though... that is a powerful bass guitar!
Gaahl may be evil but Alice is a way better frontman.
