Episode 279: Fool Me Once: Metal or Murder?

We continue our “April Fools” series with a fun game for all you Metalheads! Play along as I try to stump Leroy Luna, host of Excuse Me, That’s Illegal, as he tries to guess I’m quoting serial killers or lyrics from metal songs.  We also discuss how rock and metal bands’ music has been tied to and even blamed for some horrific true crimes.  Sources:  Article: “10 Heavy Metal Bands That Were Blamed for Seriously Heinous Crimes” by Michael Berdan for The Pit, Mar 17, 2023. https://www.wearethepit.com/2023/03/10-heavy-metal-bands-that-were-blamed-for-seriously-heinous-crimes/ https://www.inquirer.com/philly/hp/news_update/20080929_Confessed_killer_now_seeks_insanity_trial.html https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/an-ozzy-osbourne-fan-commits-suicide Links:  Listen to Excuse Me, That’s Illegal - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/excuse-me-thats-illegal/id1526994548 https://open.spotify.com/show/0Wgi2jEXEyE4RWqPCIfe3m?si=e8cf0a479e264609 Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@excusemethatsillegal.pod CrimeCon UK - CrimeCon, the ultimate true crime event, is coming to London June 10 and 11th, 2023! Get your tickets at www.crimecon.co.uk and use our offer code ONCEUPON to score your discount.  Once Upon a Crime is on YouTube! - https://www.youtube.com/onceuponacrimepodcast Opt-in to receive texts from Once Upon Crime - Text OUAC to 408-676-1770. Text messaging provided by www.textsanity.com. Msg & data rates may apply.  Learn more about your ad choices.
