Excerpt from an interview of Chris Lee, A punk-metal guitarist on the site Cincymetal.com

 

Chris Lee is metal music. He has been active in the local metal scene for yearsand his currently playing with original punk metal band 16 Piece Bucket, and a Motorhead cover band Stone Deaf Forever, and has done a solo album.He also runs a booking agency Devil Saint Booking. Chris has always remained true to the music he likes and has not cared about what music people think he should like. Chris has also been very important for keeping people informed on the cincinnati metal scene with he Weekly Update Newsletter, and his website CINCINNATI AREA HEAVY MUSIC SCENE. Chris also lends his metal knowledge to CincyMetal with his HEAVY ISSUES column.

 

14. Despite guitar god Jimi Hendrix and metal bands such as Living Colour, why do you feel there aren't more black people into metal music?

 

Chris Lee:

Good question. I bet that's one you don't find yourself asking people alot. I think, in general, people follow a herd mentality. They go with flow and follow the pack. A good example is when I used to work at in a restuarant

kitchen, one cook heard a Van Halen song on the radio and said "Man I used to love this stuff. David Lee Roth, Axl Rose and Guns & Roses. But don't tell anyone . It will ruin my rep in the 'hood". That kind of thinking is common in all walks of life. Look at old metal bands like Metallica. You think Metallica would have covered a Bob Seger song in 1985? Or even admitted to liking anything Bob Seger recorded? No way. But now that they are megastars and its cool amongst entertainers to admit that you are a fan of 70s classic rock, its "Oh yeah...We have been listening to Bob Seger since the beginning." People are afraid to go against the grain. Plenty of blacks like metal. The media doesn't go around interviewing blacks when doing stories on metal. So who would know? That is another thing. Since the media controls what is seen, it is really their call as to who likes what, reverting back to the herd mentality. It has been accepted now that whites like rap. Why? Because the media says so. Back in the 80s, plenty of whites liked rap but it was not accepted in mainstream for whites to like rap so no one believed any did. Same concept applies for blacks liking metal. I have had tons of people over the years say "That's so cool..your black and you like metal". Why is that so cool? Why is it such a shock? Do these same people go up to a 16 year old kid who listens blues music and say "Wow that's so cool...you like blues and you aren't an 80 year old guy from the South". We are continually being programmed to believe that there is only one way things should be. I think, instead of saying, "Why aren't more black

people into metal", a better question would be "Why are we constantly being conditioned to only believe what we see in mainstream media and how do we try and break out of that way of thinking?".
