Most shocking controversies in Metal 

#10 Ozzy Osbourne bites the head off a head

Sound crazy but true, what else can we expect from the weirdo Ozzy?? World famous musician Ozzy Osbourne had once bitten a bat's head off. He had done this with a dove too. It was a shocking moment as you don't expect a normal human being to do such a thing. Later on, he had also quoted, "I got rabies shot for biting the head off a bat but that's okay-the bat had to get Ozzy shots". Attitude eh??

#9 Guns N' Roses/Metallica Riots

It happened on the collaboration tour of Guns N' Roses and Metallica when the vocalist/riff guitarist of  Metallica had met with an accident completely burning his left hand, the audience expected a good show from Guns N' Roses. But the very famous vocalist of Guns N' Roses, Axl Rose who always had the tendency of staying in the limelight turned off the show saying that his voice wasn't prepared to carry the show on. Disappointed audience made the scenario worse by breaking the stage setting the posters on fire and pelting stones. Who the fuck pays for seeing their bands not performing?

#6 Judas Priest's subliminal messages

Judas Priest suffered a real bad time when two of their teenage fans shot themselves after listening to their songs.

It wasn't quite difficult for Judas Priest to have themselves out of this case but indeed, they lost a lot of fan following due to this incident.

#5 Metallica vs Napster

Metallica were pretty much unhappy with the Napster as they realised that now people can get music for free. It affected them as they thought it would be a threat to their Net Worth.

Metallica even filed a case against them in order to get justice but things didn't work out in their favour as they had expected to.

He had to face the consequences accordingly.

#3 Lamb of God's manslaughter charges

The guy was at LOG's concert and then as it happens in metal concerts, he tried to climb on the stage and was thrown back into the crowd by Randy.

Randy had to pay more than 500,000 USD.
