how think about the Headbanger (the metal music fans) in society?

How can people think anything about it when even grannies are metal fans?

You should have seen the mosh pit at the elderly home when he started roaring "tähdet veren yllä"!

But his version of Kent's "Dom Andra" is actually quite baffling.

OK, then Finland is Headbanger's country.

I think one of most problem for did not accept this style of music is a religion.

Religion does not have a big role in Finland, and heavy metal is just one genre of music among others. A same person can like classical and heavy, nothing to do with bad boys or satanism, it is just music.

Just a month ago there was a TV program Choir War. First there were 5 (6?) choirs, and every week people voted one off. The choir that won sang metal.

It's not all perfect. Think about the shock and tabloid nonsense when Lordi entered the ESC...

People were saying it's a disgrace and the band are offensive...and it wasn't just Christians either.
