    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.

    Well, I guess Mayhem was more controversial but IX Equilibrium is better than anything Mayhem ever made, so I thought of Emperor first.

    The Beatles, because they weren't being shocking for the sake of being shocking. And John Lennon actually had a message. He was controversial for a good reason. They wanted the man deported for speaking up against the government.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Who cares about manson, Ive heard more satanic lyrics from P.O.D.(holy hell they suck)! Plus, the whole Satanism thing is just rebellion, and the people who have a standard of religious works(literature/beliefs) and believe what they say and preach are Luciferianists.
