I. Can think of. One night in 1955 a prophet of the modern times called Elvis Presley brought the world of rock n roll to television and he converted off to the generation of young people craving thrills you. Just. Took the 5th was out of this world i had never heard anything like it in fact no one hunt. To score some people said whos this guy who sings like a black man and dances like hes having sex since. Theres. No. Someone up in mccartneys words he said hes the messiah in the. Blasphemy for religious fundamentalists in the Southern United States there is only one messiah the heretic and his music must be condemned reason dont rock n roll heres why i preach against it and i believe that it is a contributing factor to our juvenile delinquency up today why i believe that is because i know how it be when you think i know what it. And you know that evil feeling that you feel when you fight where you are and there was a fiercely anti rock n Roll Movement because they were convinced it was the devils music. There were church interventions to prevent that music from being played many concerts were banned as a limitation. Why blame rock n roll for being the devils music. Particularly bent on preserving its values and keeping within certain bounds whatever oversteps those bounds will be the devils doing it so hard to do it. At the end of the beginning god gazed upon the earth with contentment and he called his favorite angel lucifer and showed him his completed work behold the perfection i have created he said proudly. Scanning the creation lucifer replied taking a closer look im afraid well be bored in it. Outraged by such disrespect god rashly cast him away challenging the angel to do better than him on the 7th day when god rested lucifer to become the devil ceased on the opportunity he made a present to humanity that god will not soon forget he said let there be rock and there was rock and roll. Roll. Derived from the blues and the blues is the music of blacks so that in itself was bad and their logic is a naturally these white people fall threatens because their little world was disrupted is a closeness to. The blues is a profane music that developed far from the churches in the brothels where blacks would trade a chance of a turn all salvation for terrestrial pleasures. From the blues rock n roll also when heritage and dark legend spread by singer Robert Johnson. He was boasting that one night he had made a pact with the devil. To exchange for his soul he had supposedly received the power of putting audiences under the spell of his guitar. All that at that story of the crossroads of the devil thats when Robert Johnson turned from a lousy musician into a musical genius. The most famous pact with the devil is that of gertrudes father sed you sell your soul and your life in exchange for a talent for coffee. Robert johnson died from criminal poisoning in 1938 and his body was dumped in a common grave as if the devil would eventually taken revenge on. The devil is said to act not only on the musician but on music itself it has allegedly taken the form of a note in the musical scale the blue note a diminished 5th semitone with a suppose it hold on the listener. Magical stuff that seems to. Its a transition its the know. Its the know you just bend up to or you bend for a while you just pass it in a phrase its. Its the its the naughty notes its the its the girl in a very short skirt in a crowded place you see and then shes go its a note its supposed to induce a trance to bring you swing and joy in short all the unthinkable feelings a sort of diabolical note. And when that magical note is mixed with the red hot rhythms of rocknroll satanic forces grab hold of body and mind if you talk to the average up today and you ask them what it is about rock and roll music that they like i dont think theyll be ready for the. Rhythm is paramount rhythm meaning youre carried away swept off your feet that you experience the same feeling to the urge to dance to swing your hips and your legs the authorities just like in dancing is a rhythm that escapes all control a little bit like bhutto its frightening it must be the devil that makes you jiggle around like that for. The puritans its blatant the devil is using rock music to manipulate the minds and bring about his own revolution. If you look at the etymology of the word itself rock what does it mean it means to shake. And in order to overpower when you lead revolutions you have to jostle people so if you want to rebel you take the opposite stance and claim your right to be different. Its what heavy metal rock music is best at stating that difference. Dance with names such as black sabbath ac d. C. Or even judas priest this music invites its fans to take the road to hell. Course many rockers have played with. I suppose a collusion with the devil with. The whole rockers play with the image of satan because it makes for beautiful imagery you have crosses trinkets bones you have a slightly horrific touch to it all so the devil helps to sell the devil is a sales asset. In their efforts to win over the more followers than start one upping each other. When they are not in somebodys heads a sheep on stage the next spawn must be head to sheep as you always have to go one step further in a way and yes i think its a marketing strategy. So the. Of course outlandish staging is key to the visual style that goes with this type of music. And thats what attracts young people i think. As i said hard metal and even rock music more generally have to piss off goody goody people a little there must be some semblance of provocation. But traditionalist christians refuse to believe that the devil is nothing but a puppet used to frighten selfrighteous believers convinced that satan is the real puppet master of rock n roll crusading to protect the young from its evil doings the swallow live better man than you need to feel homesick also who knew some for medical journal. Only if you dont see democracy mon so in short im eating junk yes if you have it. You. Also need. To be. Mistaken it was. In the 1999 some see their beliefs reflected in news stories and accuse Marilyn Manson of being an influence on the 2 perpetrators of the cause. High school massacre. They needed some sort of scapegoat because it was something that was so shocking to america and the rest of the world at the time that they need an explanation of why and i see an easy person to blame for not in maryland manson never called for murder otherwise his songs would have been suppressed by the law and censored and banned beyond that theres what people want to retain from lyrics people appropriate lyrics and use them any way they want. Im not sure there are many people today who care for the messages and words conveyed by certain artists which may or may not be provoking actually because primarily you listen to that music or its energy. Momentarily that music enables you to let go. Fundamentalist staunchly believe the opposite they are convinced that there are hidden satanic messages in the songs that you can hear them if you play the record backwards its called back masking father tension by champions these views. On a music rock n roll. Got to do when they say theres been back mask and what they say is those lyrics that you listen to are so beautiful once you play them backwards you realize that their oats the devil. Lets uplands stairway to heaven would conceal praises to satan. And into pop back i dont think that led zeppelin wrote stairway to heaven. That they wrote those words that would sound like. The could you play the other way it would produce extremely sophisticated pieces poems almost as beautiful as keats or shelley it seems absurd but thats a. The beatles are suspected of doing that too in their song revolution 9 father makes his point. I dont. Number number number not. Only in reverse speech youre supposed to hear turn me on dead man. I think. You can. Literally scrutinizing the words listening to the music its endless so do you want to prove which has been done by the way that the bible is a book entirely written by the devil you can. See thats how it is people can say anything they want and they managed to do it. Down separation conservatives appeal to public authority. We are asking the Recording Industry to voluntarily assist parents who are concerned by placing a warning label on music products inappropriate for younger children due to explicit sexual or violent lyrics finally christians organize themselves enough to start putting stickers on albums to warn parents that there might be words in the songs of those albums that might induce deviant behavior in their children you know the. Rock lyrics have turned from i cant get no satisfaction to im going to force you at gunpoint to eat me alive. They convinced the authorities to stamp the covers of albums deemed dangerous with a Parental Advisory explicit content labeled heavy metal albums are 1st in line. In fact it only keeps away people who are already opposed to that trend rather on the other side from buying these records. So when youre a rocker and by definition youre for shaking the established order and system seeing that stick. Theyre actually means by me i mean listen they want to see us have a deal so its a double edged sword its just good publicity that you make for these albums over. However there is a musical genre for which the satanic background is more than provocation and becomes an agenda black metal. Black when done for black metal is a subgroup of heavy metal it was formed in the 1980 s. And became popular in the ninetys mostly because of the norwegian scene and criminal acts that made them famous such as the burning of churches and murders. Also for acts strongly popularized black metal this black metal bands and stuff but was able to take the 5th call it at the National Mall scum dollar. In fact some members of that norwegian scene gathered in a sectarian anti Christian Group called the black metal inner circle. In the early 1990 s. They ransacked and burned down around 50 churches. Like your you have it exists true that there were acts that followed up on the very satanist spirit of their music to me thats what gave a sort of mythic touch to that norwegian scene which on top of that came from a rather pagan background so all the ingredients were there to make that music a truly evil experience. Most of these extremists were arrested and in 1906 the inner circle was dissolved. The once all calmed down and now you see a black metal scene for their norwegian swedish or whatever as there is black metal made all over the world now you see something much more controlled its more organized. Funny looks like many other music styles everywhere. Youre not into acting out anymore. And satanist provocation is not what truly threatens religion what religion should fear most is how rocknroll tends to challenge its authority and its place in society. 166. 00 john lennon declared christianity will go it will shrink and then we are more popular than jesus now. The church immediately replied to the voice of minister allan montgomery. I think. The basis of statistics and. His statement is untrue no one is more popular than. When john lennon said we are more popular than christ it meant trans go to concert halls rather than to church or to sunday mass. It means that with young people there was more excitement to john lennons music than to go to mass to listen to words that were 2000 years old and hes not saying that its a good thing its just a statement of fact something stop. And it wasnt rock music because that loss of interest in religion thats just how it was it was a sort of evolution of society. In order to avenge that blasphemy some christians from the bible belt in the us rekindled the anti rock music. And when fundamentalists are angry there are calls to burn the heretic so reluctant to teenagers throw away their treasured beatles possessions with the ku klux klan with bonfires of books and records this one was of longview texas they seized the opportunity to show their christian seal. It was a huge wave of protest radio stations would no longer air the albums off of the records were burnt to the k. K. K. Was involved in that scheme they said we have to fight these people typical of the religious bigotry in American Society where have you had believers the heat was on the beatles were safe. To be did. You have said. Yes i did as well as helping. My Record Company insisted john lennon apologize which he actually did and then things fell back into place but still he was forced to apologize. Im not saying it went great. I. Just didnt want to run. The thread caused by this controversy is one of the reasons the beatles stopped giving concerts. If john lennon had not intended to offend the clergy in 1970 ian anderson of jethro tull openly criticized the church in his song my god on the op one long album. I suppose i was probably more inspired by the rich tapestry of catholicism with lots of you know ground. Aspects of. What to me are close to idolatry really because its going a little over the top. According to ian anderson the church makes use of a sham god in the artwork inside the album he even stages himself as a desecrate or. I always felt that it wasnt necessary to go into into a church or any place of worship in order to experience spirituality and i feel more or less the same said i think you can find that Spiritual Connection in you know you might find it in a sort of you might find it in a. High find in a sex shop i mean who knows theres a boundless possibilities for connecting with the world of spirituality in the broad sense. Im not anti religion but i criticise as of continue to criticize not the church so much as some of the people whose. Degree of power and control that they have within. The hierarchy of the clergy isnt always to my liking but yes the church like any any body and the defense of our society should be open to criticism. And. Rocknroll clearly rolls much more against the religious dogmas imposed by the various churches than against religion itself or spirituality spirituality is always unique by nature and universal unique. It is on such a spiritual quest that the beatles travel to india aiming to revitalize their souls surrounding themselves with gurus and beating in the purifying ganges river. At the same time in california the same question spires the hippie counterculture together young people are looking for another model of society built on values of sharing of peace and blah. Lets. All of this reflects an urge for change and at the same time a call to spirituality that yes in. This new gospel spreads like wildfire through the music and the concerts which draw even larger crowds a far worse. Since illusion. The etymology of religion comes from the latin really jazz which means to bring together in this case bring people together you get some point religion no longer brings people together but puts a leaden lid on their existence whereas rock music does bring them together just and that is becomes a new religion and people go to concerts together live together have fun together come together venum songs and reason songs so. In those years friends and musicians used to commute by taking l. S. D. The chemical way for that gave psychedelic overtones to the music. To get any sort of Psychedelic Movement appears 1st of all because some writers get interested in l. S. D. And remember l. S. D. Was a legal drug back then it wasnt pretty but it. Anything. You can continue 296465 Timothy Leary began to write about his experiences with l. S. D. And musicians read his books and started thinking hey lets try smellers t 2 and they got i because l. S. D. Makes you feel like youre flying it makes you see colors and lights. Because the drugs work as a modifier of perspective so when they smoke joints when they drop acid they see the world differently they sense that there are many possible variations of this world. Easy say they try to explore its what the doors did try and look whats behind the door break on through to the other side. That exploration goes so far that some rockers are convinced that l. S. D. And their music elevate to some. Commander so you can definitely say that because to me music comes from the soul and speaks to the soul in short music which comes from someones inner soul was also fun the souls of other people of the audience. Just this public im stephanie music it to him use it has always been the vehicle used in all religions use it there is not one religion where music is not used thing ishe precisely to touch souls and to sing together with others want to be in communion with others the. Uses sions are convinced that their music has the holy power to reconnect with god. This is why the grateful dead felt they were sent on a mission to lead a spiritual revolution and why jimi hendrix would refer to his art as electric church music. And so all of the churches are bypassed intermediaries are no longer needed singing is enough at one point to put us into a wrecked contact with the divine with director vocal factor because. On top of supplanting religion rock music also dares to canonize its own saints. To them see only the live it is if you had a limb cut off it is if you find yourself. At a loss and it stays that way even 40 years later you still feel like you have lost a part of yourself also the. Ducted one question. Of. A man than the very day of presleys death colonel parker who was his manager said that elvis was dead but business went on so the torch had to keep burning the flag that you were there to indulge his passion for elvis. Founded a fan club which now has thousands of members. In the very quickly people asked us for much more so we started to run events we invited elviss former musicians over we made trips to the us it was great. The celebrity. The climax of that journey is to go to graceland the kings mansion to pay your respects. But after graceland is a part of elvis see youve got the music and all but they want to feel closer to him. Up at the same time theres the dream taking the trip its a whole deal yet to suck right just see could be my sarah these commemorations fans walking their candlelight perceptions and so on. Whenever anniversaries mark a decade they bring in tens of thousands of people. Move them people from all over the world organize tours to graceland and elvis pilgrimages. Because thats what they are pilgrimages in one company. Yeah well there is nothing about you dont have a moment when the person suddenly i mean its not a sect even if its powerful. Its not a sect at all he says. Think its a contest because. Analysis never said elvis was. He was a god. And the many sociologist said that the birth of the presently out religion came with elvis is death and its a little similar to christianity this is christianity was born for centuries after the death of jesus from the time when it was taken up by people and they started working on a memory issue with a remembrance that may be selective a memory that may be partial its the same with Elvis Presley taken this question. The worshipping offense has the power to create gods but under its trappings of a new fangled religion rocknroll remains hung by its demons. And some musicians are still afraid of triggering gods wrath. As cowards master wild used to say i can resist everything except temptation and rockers dont resist temptation so the best way for them to save themselves from an untimely death is sometimes go back into the fold go back to the faith go back to god for some of their might be their sole chance of survival we need. At the top of his career in 1957 Little Richard the brazen creator of the very sexual tutti frutti song has a mystical vision on a flight to australia. Angels and a ball of fire hovering around the airplane he believes its a divine apparition promising him to the flames of hell right then he gives up rock n roll and joins a school of preaching jethro. As always jewels always precious belongings into the river a gesture worthy of old popular imagery and then he turns to religion and puts an end to his musical career them. Some of the many rockers return to religion because those are the values they were raised with so they remain ingrained in their psyches whether they like it or not vests off. Other rockers have followed on the path taken by Little Richard. Its the case of alice cooper Dave Mustaine leader of megadeth and of new comics brian the iron maiden drummer in europe as well some rock n roll and black sheep are also walking back to the flock of christ. Was committed to 5. Years old you see been able to school get to say been it would have been to be would also video to do we did you know. The shoot up. Next year was duty this becomes a beacon not measured ace. Thats. What you needed it people. In his youth a followed another past a concert to punk and drugs he was known as. A singer in the rock band we got some that rowdy band led by force was used as a whole was a major player at the french alternative rock scene in the 1980 s. And ninetys with it but we didnt hear of a legacy was a godsend that could make a living with music travel abroad or i might never love trance it was a beautiful experience it will do what its going in 1902 they bring out an iconic classic album entitled viacom a light of the noisy none which was not to everyones taste you didnt is here they wouldnt let us play because they thought it was too provocative but we played anyway. Though there were places where we were on wanted or in any case unwelcome. During the rocky years experiences the tragic death of his loved one hes lost drowning his sorrow and eventually finds comfort not in music but where he least expects it in a prayer book. To fuck you do not wish for me granted he made our. Shot magazines it wanted me to do so he could be passed wanted to just say thank you. What is manifest i took a few beers were defeated enough for. This encounter with christ saved him from despair. And for me jesus happened very naturally theres no strategy underneath this is simple as when im talking to you like when you say i love you to someone you love its exactly the same. Thing that nobody. After that a tiffany he turned away from rock music to follow jesus and assist his fellow man the. If some apostles of rock music go back to god its above all to escape the curse ever since Robert Johnsons infamous fasti impact the rocker soul belongs to the devil legend has it that satan coming to claim his due cause the death of many musicians including Jimi Hendrix Jim Morrison brian jones janis joplin and more recently Amy Winehouse all of them like Robert Johnson dead at 27. 00 which gave rise to the club 27. 00 legend they put. All the socalled cursed poets or cursed musicians you may really put them on the same level. Do not. Jimi hendrix or janis joplin or Amy Winehouse. There are people capable of bringing so much beauty but their daily lives are so turbulent they have addictions its design. Aster after disaster so long as it takes you always someone is a. Real hawk at the last ice rock n roll tends to gradually ring these musicians dry its very demanding very exhausting. Finally theyre killed many of its practitioners at an early age i guess. But even if rocknroll took the lives of its missionaries it succeeded in winning a mass following in order to recover its ascendancy the church has tried to capture the power of its longtime rival and harness it to disseminate gods word thats christian rock was before. The government comes economic law to entertain making music to entertain people i think we know how to do that but over time we realize that music is also made to carry messages to carry spirituality and its also possible music is not just a string of notes but also has something deeper some musicians may not be aware of thats going to happen we are. Said the church still gets sold to the devils music. Discovered as was the i book that god has created music in order to be honored hes created everything thats what i believe hes created this earth has all the planets and he is the one who was created music. Says seriously there are people who listen to that. Well i guess there are that that. Yes the muscle of rockers the sex drugs and rocknroll but froze the motto of our music is love love love is love love love. Love love love its only natural because christian rock appeared in the 1960 s. Played on the guitars and hippie musicians who believe they recognize the constants words in their acid trips and flower power. Take their cues appropriate or jesus is a rock star because in the end hes almost a naked character issue no one has got long hair and the common representation hes on armed poses roman rule challenges the authorities hes alone his unique and hes got the rather cool beatnik side to him jesus is a rather trendy guy. See im. Christian rockers deny the belief that rocknroll is the devils music and launched the jesus movement. Step in the end the most beautiful words in the world christs words are love one another it boils down to that fundamental sentence and we have to get back to that message. Elvis is rock christian rock also moves into more extreme genres such as christian metal. Its now the turn of rocknroll to be desecrated by religion which starts using the gloomy magic of heavy metal in spite of its rehabilitation of an old demonic chord from the middle ages to try to. Get it to the try to own is a musical interval spanning 3 whole tones. Which in Classical Music was the symbol of the devil in the Classical Music doesnt boldest toy when it sounded as many it meant that the demon was coming for instance onstage to be and heavy metal like that sound for the same reasons its good now as to the can. In the middle ages playing that according to church with condemned to the fires of hell. Because it falls to. This very melancholy form of harmony frighten people but music itself is never diabolic. Scotts convinced that metal rock has nothing demonic ministers somewhere who as chosen to make an illiterate tickle music he founded the metal church which mixes mass and concert metal church this is metal church is an attempt to form a church for lovers of metal and hard rock was before the concert we do a service because we need it. But if you put it on the america its very important for the people who come here to create that connection between Christian Faith and the Metal Culture and the metal cool to. All these. Faiths. So. Its really cool. To meet these from a metal music is the music of my heart and i think that jesus christ keeps my heart ticking he says can also be baked so i do everything i can to make that to work in harmony. But if i go to a Traditional Church and i attend mass but here its more open here you. You can follow your faith and your style as you are in church there is prejudice against metal heads youre not really accepted but here its different you can be who you are and i can share my music tastes with other people but i also know you just made it. Through a lot of christian hard rock like satanist black metal is to me like one counterculture attracting another better number of artists to be shut up with religion bashing and decided to promote it is in my eyes as worthy as those who like to challenge it and find there are many things that may look a little out of phase with their image but at the end of the day these extreme styles of music are just one big melting pot of cultures. See is converted to rocknroll as well. 2014 pope francis invited patti smith to sing at the vatican for the nativities concert the singer who claimed in her youth that her only religion was rock n roll very willingly agree to honor the invitation but if you like to hear from tell. But with conferences gracing the cover of Rolling Stone magazine 1 may wonder if rock n roll has sold its soul to guide. The whole community spikes rock music will disappear because its played its role its historic role its revolution happened it cant repeat itself 10 times thats why all those revivals are lousy events i hate them you hold my brother and roll is now accepted by everyone along with all their other consentual types of music. Todays rock music is borzois because everybody likes rock music to move. The devils music played in the vatican its hard to say who finally won the duel between them but alas. 60 years. Maybe some rock music has lost its demonic nature but it has also allowed society as a whole to change and to keep the debate the enemies of the principle that rocknroll has always fought for freedom a man.
