This story doesn't make any sense to me. According to the cbc:
A 16-year-old guitarist with Italian gothic metal band Soul Cry is in hospital after bandmates allegedly stabbed him for not playing well enough.
The attack occurred after a rehearsal in Sestri Ponente, a town near Genoa, in which other band members accused him of playing poorly. The singer allegedly told the guitarist he was "sounding evil."
Police official Alessandra Bucci told Italian media on Friday the victim had been stabbed about 50 times, mainly in the back and head.
Bucci said a threatening letter, saying "I'm preparing a nice little funeral for you," was sent to the victim just days before the stabbing.
Wait, how can a guitarist in a goth metal band get stabbed for "sounding evil"? Isn't that the point? It was my understanding that goth music's appeal isn't because the music is awesome (it's not), but it's because they can summon the hounds of hell or conjure Satan's very own demon spirits on every album. It sounds to me like this guy may have been the greatest goth guitarist in the history of Goth. Glen Danzig wouldn't have a post-Misfits career if it wasn't for black hair dye and fake skulls. Try and prove me wrong:
If I went around stabbing all the suck-ass guitarists out there (and I'm seriously tempted), I'd be the greatest mass murderer of all time and they probably wouldn't make a birthday cake with my name on it either.

Goth is an entirely different kind of music than metal.
They were crazy metalheads, not goth.
And you didn't even post a picture of a metalhead, you posted a picture of a fucking juggalo.
