For those who were wondering.

[Duchess47]

Thank you God. Glad they made it out safely. A miracle amongst all that carnage.

[achilles2000]

I’m trying really hard to care. Any one of the actual victims is probably worth more than the entire band.

[JoeDetweiler]

Thanks. So this was a Rock concert. I’ve been picturing a Classical Music concert.

[DCdude]

2 of their crew still unaccounted for however. Maybe the sound guy or other crew.

[Duchess47]

I don’t think any life is worth more than another. It would have been wonderful if all in the hall had escaped but that fact that some did is cause for thanksgiving imo.

[cripplecreek]

They aren’t all that metal as I know it.

[Duchess47]

Sorry to hear that, hope they made it too.

[halo66]

Your comment is utterly disgusting...

[Rastus]

I read a little about that. The leader played his song for a friend and said, “It’s death metal!” His friend thought that was ridiculous and said, “Yeah, it’s the Eagles of death metal!” And the name stuck.

That's a horrible thing to say. Who are you to judge the value of anyone's life? Wow!

[moehoward]

Not what I imagined...

[the OlLine Rebel]

While I am glad for them, I find it a bit disconcerting that people like this seem to glibly celebrate the maccabre with such names and more often than not, lyrics of less than uplifting nature. It is truly ironic.

[Nervous Tick]

>> “It’s death metal!”

Apparently so.

[dragnet2]

I’m trying really hard to care.

Why, because these Americans reportedly survived a close call in a European terrorist attack?

That's a pretty damn odd response ya got there arhilles2000.

[TexasTransplant]

Mirror required for your post, look in it

[HarleyLady27]

Praise God for answering our prayers...

[achilles2000]

I disagree. Stalin’s, Hitler’s, Pol Pot’s, and Mao’s lives were worth less than the life of the average wino. If I had the ability to save Beethoven or Jeffrey Dahmer, the choice would be easy. The members of a band called “Death Metal” or “Metal of Death” or whatever the hell it was were undoubtedly promoting nihilism and cultural degradation. It doesn’t deserve death, but any rational, decent person, given the choice, would prefer that some of the ordinary mothers and fathers had made it out instead.

Of course, I would have preferred that all the Muslim terrorists would have been killed and no one else. But that reflects my view that NOT all lives matter, and some lives don’t matter very much.

“Other than that Mrs. Lincoln... how was the concert?”
Well, glad they- whoever they are- got out.

[NonValueAdded]

Suggest that the band changes their name now.
