So I like, learned something about myself today, and decided to buy metallica, 'master of puppets'. I haven't heard it in years.
I feel like I am doing something bad.
But it's not like I am leaving God or anything, I just want to hear it.

Are you doing it to please God or yourself? Being a Christian isn't about how much you can get away with, but how much you can please Him.

" . . . that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him," Colossians 1:10

I listen to some rock music but I'm pretty selective and I don't listen to it all the time. There are some bands or songs I refuse to listen to because I want to please the Lord. It would be better if I just cut it out completely, but I'm a work in progress and doing the best I can as He gives me strength. Don't spend your money on it though. Just about everything you might want is available on YouTube. If you just want to listen to it, do it that way. In the past, I've had so many slips and outright falls that started with getting back into the rock music scene. Be careful, that's my advice.

Yeah I stopped with Metallica again. God told me it was like idol worship. And five finger death punch might kill me.

My all time favorite band is Pearl Jam. I have listened to them 1000's of times. I honestly could not re-site one chorus from one song.

Maybe it's just me, but I listen to the music and what he does with his voice....the lyrics hold nothing for me.

I listen to plenty of "christian" bands also. Same with them. I listen for the music and what the person can do with their voice.

That person who can "rasp" or "jazz" their voice , I am in. No matter if it's country, rock,christian,pop......

check the lyrics of every tune. metallica may be serving the devil, i don't know. back in 1990, i wasn't a Christian until 2 years later, i threw out all my records that i knew were on the evil side. once, i saw acdc playing to an outdoor crowd at a huge stadium & i saw the devil's horns up top each speaker column!! that did it for me, no more acdc. plus, other bands, i won't listen too. sometimes i'll check out a band that's metal or hard rock just to listen to the extreme virtuosity & talent of the musicians. remember that the devil was the boss of music & he uses music super big time to sway people.

Just about everything I listen to is secular and I don't feel bad about it. But, I do feel the same way as Karlon when it comes to AC/DC and a few other bands.

yes I have repented. I will not listen to Metallica, and no longer have any desire for it. Listening to this type of music, is same as sitting in a secular occult church.
