1stPlace: Emperor(or anything out of Norway in the BM-era)

2ndPlace: Dimmu Borgir

3rdPlace: Cannibal Corpse

Honorable(or dishonorable depending who ya talk to) Mention: Slipknot

What do you think?

P.S..: Im not saying these bands are bad(although CC and DB suck) just that they are controversial.

    Damn, I forgot about them, I know who they are and own an album or two, but still Emperor and other BM bands lived their lyrics and actually burned churches and killed priests with hatchets. Now thats more frightning than controversial!

    EDIT: Also Horde was very controversial for making a Christian bm album with song titles such as "Invert the Inverted Cross"

    Fuck what about those Skinhead bands that sing about white power. I just saw an A&E show about that shit last night. I think singing songs about killing visible minorities for the greater good of a white supremisist society might take the cake. I don't recall any of the band names though.
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    True True, but CC had a song called "I C-m Blood" that was controversial and look at the album covers!

    I'm no expert - dont think i've ever even heard one of their (GG's) songs (EDIT the song titles alone are enough to make me queasy)...I just saw a documentary about them and that made me curious so I did a bit of reading about them after that - EDIT always talked about killing himself on stage, feces incidents, lottsa blood, riots....all that good stuff.

    The stuff is like Mindless Self Indulgence or Insane Clown Posse, but more offensive. And...just buy an album, I wont spoil it for you!

    And there is much better death metal out there. They have no talent, they are competing with nicklecrap and limpbizkit(however you spell it i dunno) for the title of worst band ever.

    ummmmm....about being a song that is about killing cops....I would imagine

    .....not quite as crazy as the other stuff you mention in this thread (ie no priests were killed), but as far as mainstream attention goes this was pretty contreversial

    Most of those Norweigian Death Metal bands are pretty out there. I've heard the name Mayhem mentioned as one of the most controversial bands but I'm not sure what they did to claim that title.

    As far as mainstream influence, the Beatles and Elvis were much more controversial than the "Cop Killer" thing or the 1st Amendment stuff that followed the 2Live Crew around.

    Thankyou, someone else mentioning the Beatles, and Elvis instead of more 'shock rock' or 'shock rap'.

    Marilyn Manson is up there because all the right-wingers blamed him for Columbine. N.W.A., Ice-T, and the other gangsta rap pioneers generated a lot of fuss. And the Beatles and Elvis had their controversies, in a different way. I must confess I don't know much about the gore metal bands.

    why Dimmu Borgir?

    and Mayhem was waaaay more controversial than Emperor, if you ask me. It is a better story at least

    Exactly. He used to actually molest women on stage, eat his own shit, and beat the crap out of audience members on a regular basis.

    What exactly was the story behind Mayhem anyway? I heard something about the bandmembers wearing parts of a dead bandmates skull as a necklace around their necks. There must be more to the legend than that?

    i think most of the bands listed are just shock. controversy is different to me. lennons jesus comment, elvis's hip shaking, body counts cop killer song sure. but being vulgar for no purpose other than to shock isnt controversial. so gg can go play with his feces if he wants, no one cares thats the difference.

    dude shot himself, bassist or something found the body, ran off and took a picture of it for an album cover, reportedly made brain stew (pretty sure this is false) and then was murdered by the guitar player

    Bob Dylan.

    The most effective and fluent anti-war/politician/racism/etc voice in music.

    Plus he got death threats for just switching to electric guitar.
