Heavy Metal Guitarist Was Stabbed 50 Times For Playing Poorly

[Bunbury]

The 18-year-old singer of the Italian gothic heavy metal band SOUL CRY and her 16-year-old brother, the band's bass player, are facing premeditated attempted murder charges after allegedly stabbing the group's guitarist dozens of times because he did not play well enough, according to the Associated Press.

The 16-year-old victim was attacked Saturday night (December 6) after SOUL CRY rehearsed in Sestri Ponente, a small town near Genoa. He was stabbed about 50 times, mainly to his back and head, said police official Alessandra Bucci in Genoa.

During the rehearsal, band members accused the victim of playing poorly, police said. The attack occurred moments later in a narrow alley.

Cristina Balzano (pictured below) was caught by police holding a kitchen knife with a 7-inch (18-centimeter) blade, her brother next to her and the victim in a pool of blood, Bucci said.

Tough band to play in, yikes!

I thought the story was going to be about a mob of disgruntled Coldplay fans killing Joe Satriani.

I hate these EMO and bad metal acts. I like the 70's/80's metal bands but not these satan worshiping bands. There just as bad as the worst football hooligans

Well, Coldplay fans are more likely than metal fans to be quite content with life and who they are and seem to be very tolerant. Coldplay fans tend to be unwilling to conform to any kind of scene (musical or cultural), which kinda goes hand in hand with the genrelessness of Coldplay's music.
