was brutally murdered by a 20-year-old and a 16-year-old who said that they had been listening to Slipknot immediately before and after the murder, specifically the song Disaster Peace, which was analyzed by authorities as this case went to trial.
I'm not going to burn this story here.
You can hear all about it in our new episode on Slipknot that just hit your feed this week on Tuesday.
It's right behind this episode if you haven't listened to it yet.
And as I know you guys know, this of course isn't the first time that music, rock and roll, heavy metal, whatever you want to call it, has been put in the hot seat when something truly bad happens.
We've covered a lot of these stories here, as you guys know, but here are some of the most disgraceful instances of music being blamed for extreme violence.
