Not to make small of your comment / view, but I once asked Bill how he could like Pearl Jam's music even though there was a fag in the band.
This isn't a perfect quote, but he said something like 'it is kind of difficult to find any mainstream rock band that doesn't have a jew or fag in their lineup'.
That is sort of how I view "satanic" bands.
You never know if they are serious or not. Many do it for shock value and only to sell more CD's.
I purged my collection a few times (when I felt certain bands/records were a stumbling block), Took many years, and the older I got, the music does not have such a "crazy" influence over me.
It is now finally easy for me to "tune out" the lyrics, but would agree, that younger folks do not have a developed filter.
The singers usually screech or growl, and that makes it hard to know what they mean, unless I read the lyrics.
