Rocketown Controversy: Hardcore Satanic Metal at Christian Teen Venue

[TheBratomir]

I do not think god is a good think...

[bigkendallas]

Perhaps we shouldn't be in such a hurry to "reach" the world, that we start to become the world.  You wouldn't let someone into your house and curse your mother, but evidently when it comes to GOD, we dont stand him

[bigkendallas]

The problem is they are inviting bands in to literally curse Christianity. I get the idea of "ministering" to those who typically are not at church.... But that doesn't mean we have to participate in helping bands that attack our belief in GOD.

[pueb3488]

I'm a catholic, and I listen to all kinds of metal.....there's nothing with just listening to the music. it's something that gets my attention without worshiping the devil and what not

[DrNinethousand]

clearly just after the tax benefits..

[Aaronitouse]

Taking hits ftw

[DracoAzule]

Well if they wanted a metal band to play there's literally dozens of Christian metal bands they could have chose from.

Just off the top of my head...Demon Hunter, August Burns Red, The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, Skillet, Oh Sleeper, Whitecross...

[PurpleMintSam]

Way to go, Rocketown. Keep doing Christ's work.

[EndOfWill]

Everytime I see this I laugh.. TBDM rules.

[Erik007able]

FUCK YEAH BLACK DAHLIA MURDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!\M/ \M/ FUCK EVERYTHING

[shadezofblack69]

Black dahlia murder isn't satanic but the first band is

[ErgortanguperPolice]

Hang the Pope? so it's an Antichrist band singing against the Antichrist?! Did Jesus not say a Kingdom divided against itself can not stand?

[abbath1586]

Black Dahlia was epic when I saw them play with Children of Bodom :D Best night of life.

[Terrodar12]

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDERRRRRRRRRRRR

[MetalHeadized]

Loser parents. If you don't let your child listen to The Black Dahlia Murder, i think Satan has more influence on you than he does on the bands...

[jonweasel]

To me it comes down to the fact that kids, adults,etc are going to like what they like. Brainwashing aside, it's just taste. If my kid is going to like Black Dahlia Murder and want to go see them, I would rather they see them at rcktwn, than at a dive where they would have to sneak in, and have access to drugs and alcohol more prominently. Rcktwn creates a safe haven in a way.

Music shouldn't be feared, but fear the minds that do.

[jerret93]

woot!

[ashatrophy]

Haha I live in nashville...been to rkttown...seen both devildriver and lamb of god there...didnt even know it was a christian setup

[ibeatquinninbeerpong]

What the fuck ever happened to freedom of speech and assembly!?

Fuck tight ass Christian fucks! Not against "God", but c'mon its fucking music!!

If you're offended by it, DON'T FUCKING LISTEN TO IT, STUPID JESUS FREAK FUCKS!

[fog657]

[coltonmonsterface]

[MetaMW66]

[dalehusbanduk]

[RyanZalewskiacoustic]

[JakeTheHippy]

CHRISTIANITY MUST BE DESTROYED!!!!!!!

[lethargic69]

Hail Satan

[4urMALICE]

hahahaha! 

[snowballrocks89]

HANG THE POPE! HANG THE POPE! HANG THE POPE!

[jacobdallen2]

@snowballrocks89 I believe in God, but that song is fucking awesome.

[snowballrocks89]

@jacobdallen2 I believe in God 2 but I go against the stupid light of my Christan church with their brainwashed minds

[jacobdallen2]

@snowballrocks89 I don't go to church...too much stereotypes involved.

[snowballrocks89]

@jacobdallen2 Yes exacly, I even got FORCED by my own parents 2 get babtized when I said I dont want 2.

[suzukidas2]

Ooooooh you poor little Christians. What is wrong with most of you Christians. I am wiht the woman from Rocketown, she right. A Satan is for people that need a, free get out jail free card, for all the miss deeds those humans self created.

But is that Devil something that we have manifested within our own minds, and being that we create ourselves. A Jealous God is the same thing as an Adolf Hitler or Stalin. Adolf Hitler was a jealous God

[suzukidas2]

Others may warn us that if we don’t do what they say we should do, their belief systems, there God or bible, we will go to hell. Bad NEWS! We are already in hell, including the people who tell us that. The problem is that ego can convert anything to its own use, even spirituality, or how they look at the Bible. Ego is constantly attempting to acquire and apply the teachings of spirituality for its own benefit (like most all Christians and Muslims.

[DoughnutsLastChance]

i went to see the word alive under oath open your eyes and a dau to remember at rocketown last month and yea they cussed ( not underoath or open your eyes) but i mean crap people.. I'm a christian but hey when they started cussing during the ADTR and the word alive sessions i just left the room and came back when they finished i didnt cry about or complain so i could ruin it for everyone else... Heck just bein in that building may be all it takes to turn someone to christ.

[WhyIAm7]

rocketown is a ministry. the ministry is to get kids coming to good shows. which happens. they also have groups for people that have been abused, support groups, bible studies. because they were introduced to rocketown, they also are opened up to knowing about all of this. people are skeptical, but this works.

[ElectricNarwal]

Rocketown is the shit.

[benboy19]

The venue may be Christian but that's just about it. It's a music venue that holds other activities that are church affiliated. The "music" part stays as it should... A "music venue." Good separation.

[MADMANx511]

But.... What's wrong with wanting to hang the pope? jokes, but seriously, i hate Christianity! (and all religions for that matter).

Metal is MY GOD!

[Wetsealbabe159]

If you don't like rocketown then don't fucking go!!! Christian parents are so over protective. Rocketown is amazing it's my happy place every time I go there I can just chill and be calm I think everyone that goes there would agree with me

[t1oxETy]

why does it matter? just because we're teens dont mean we're as stuped as you christian parents thinking if we see a up side down star on one of are idols arms we're going to worship satan >:( we're teens what you keep from us we want more you keep freedom to liston to what we want and be who we want most of us are going to rebel half of us have tried what u keep us from anyways!

[TheWICCACHANNEL]

and whats christian music lyrics?idea...lets go to the vatican,and watch the Pope he has alter boys in the shower, bet ya they drop the soap. lol lmao

[yankobutt]

A few Christians believe that Micheal W Smith founder of Rocketown is an undercover occultist some of Smiths albums have occult symbols in there so who knows, but there are Christian heavy metal bands out there but the idea of having Satanic metal bands to get people into Rocketown to find Jesus I mean go figure.

[FingerMyBoard]

thats right regena get em rocketown did nothing wrong and also dont ever start anything with rocketown cause some kids need that place to literally stay alive and if you take that away your satan and thats just how it is no obligation period.

[xalexisxmrcsx]

if that dad didnt like them then he shouldnt of let the kid go instead of making a story on the news about it

[Trivium1986]

Boo hoo, fucking go cry about it channel 4.

[SLIPKNOTFREA]

its Black Metal music they call it

[saria3768]

Fuck yaw rocket town is awesome

[xalexisxmrcsx]

[bigman1225]

[YOguy468]

this is stupid, the black dahlia murder is awsome and jesus is a fake jew pussy

[Schmidll]

@YOguy468 oh dude....if you not believe in jesus, so please dont speak so about him, thats so kiddy ...:(

[OmegaTroll69]

You're all fucking retarded.

Also the black dahlia murders lyrics are a joke, you all fucking fail

[1986dakota]

its a false ministry, ministry for the devil introduceing them to the devils music, this is junk and garabage

[SLIPKNOTFREA]

They got Christian Metal music! by the way your a gay religous fag

[1986dakota]

well guess what thats when that christian metal introduces them to is secular metal music

[joeySIXXXXX]

hang the pope is NOT by toxic holocaust it was by Nuclear Assault

even the news sucks at giving you decent information

[EndOfWill]

@joeySIXXXXX Well they don't care... the band did perform the song, regardless of it being a cover.

[bassfan05]

@joeySIXXXXX true they should of said nuke the cross and if i remember correctly that was the video they were showing

[xerox5000]

metal 4 ever, this bs ignorance from these fundamentalists assholes, afraid of everything: death,homosexuality, and especially change, they are probably a bunch of republicans dammit...vy the way, politics sucks BOTH republicans and democrats suck, and any follower of bullshit religion...

[SLIPKNOTFREA]

Religion is for fags! im Agnostic

[SLIPKNOTFREA]

Are you saying all Fundamentalists Christians are republicans! is that a stereo type, they are gay faggots anyway

[ladystarful]

shove it keith mhor.

[j0shislame]

THANK YOU ROCKETOWN! I love Rocketown's viewpoint on this "controversy." Keep doing what your doing, I agree with you 100%!

[dfphetteplace]

What dumbass parents. You want to know why your kids listen to metal? Because you make them hate you. Metal doesn't yell at them for being who they are and for believing in different things. Metal is about being yourself and doing what you think is right. And if you take a band like Toxic Holocaust seriously, you are retarded. Besides, I see nothing wrong with devil worship.

[SLIPKNOTFREA]

alot of people usally like the music than the lyrics

[MDTV0]

stupid moronic satanists. you teens are morons...seriously. seek help. ROCKETOWN YOU WILL ROT IN HELL.

[SLIPKNOTFREA]

alot of people pay attention to the music than the lyrics! hav u heard of that! Satanists are normal people too! they dnt go around in public beating up Christians!

[phnixlady]

This is too much. Not necessary. Can attract without degrading the venue.

[ReJected1122]

metal for life you pussy fucks

[DethByAudio7861]

Metal conquers all!!!

[InuyashaxTakahashi]

oh my god, these parents are so ignorant. i guess thats what i get for living in tennessee
