As someone raised as a witness who's family members mostly go to the hall, their perception of music annoys me. I remember a talk from when I was 11-12(right before I stopped going) about music that mentioned Deicide and King Diamond. That was the only time I heard specific bands mentioned that are actually into Satanic things. As a musician myself, I've tried to explain to my grandparents that 99% of people in metal bands aren't demonic or worshiping Satan or anything like that and that other than the rare exception, most of them are just normal people like me who just happen to enjoy playing and listening to heavy music. A down tuned highly distorted guitar tone with frequent tremolo picking and a drummer playing lots of double bass and blast beats doesn't make it demonic.

Did you get " Counseled " about the Music you Listened to While you were a JW ?
by flipper infrom the time i was a small boy - i loved rock n' roll music.
beatles, rolling stones, led zeppelin, hendrix.
i started getting slighted for the music i listened to as i lay in my bedroom listening on headphones to led zeppelin's song " black dog " at age 14 with my elder dad looking suspiciously at me as i'm rocking out .
