Music & world: Criminals

Part of the Music & Wolrd series, this first thread is about criminals, centred on murderers.

Many criminals have walked on this Earth, billions of criminals, but very few have become known worldwide, being so famous due to their infamous crimes that now a great number of bands, scene or underground,  have composed songs about their lifes, their crimes or the manhunt to catch them. Amongst them I can call Charles Manson, Edward Gein, Andrei Chikatilo, Dylan/Klebold or unsolved cases like Jack "The Reaper" or the Zodiac Killer.

The most famous singer that carries an apology to a criminal, a serial killer in this case, is Marilyn Manson: Marilyn for Marilyn Monroe and Manson for Charles Manson. Charles Manson, leader of a sect, tough never present in the crimes comitted by his fellows, Manson is convicted for conspirancy, via a brainwashing technique that made the followers trully believe in Manson as the Mesiah, as the Savior. According to Dr. Michael Stone, those leaders are strong, they end up loving the Leader, believing He is the envoy of a god. The case of Charles Manson fits perfectly with the darkness behind the image of Marilyn Manson, and just as Charles, the band enchants the youth with words, to the edge of allegedly have inspired other notorious massacres, the Columbine High School Massacre comitted by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the media claimed that Marilyn Manson inspired Harris and Klebold with their horrible anti-christian lyrics.

Eric Harris and Dyland Klebold, famous for comitting the Columbine High School massacre, numerous songs have been written by wolrdwide musicians. Fin symphonic metal band Nightwish composed the song The Kinslayer in memory to the casualities of the Massacre quoting alleged phrases of the killers, like a quote of Sheakespeare that was sent to Eric's mother (Good wombs hath borne bad sons) and "4 pink ones (for girls), 9 blue ones (for boys) and 2 black ones (for Harris and Klebold). P.O.D. composed the song Youth Of The Nation about the events of the Massacre. The song Cassie by Flyleaf or Who Knew by Eminem. The Columbine High School Massacre is the crime that has inspired the largest number of songs, just bellow worldwide conflicts like the Cold War or World War II.

Edward Gein, the infamous butcher that chopped his family and fashioned numerous clothes and accesories made up by human flesh, skin and bones. Gein was mentally retarded, his only valuable skill was Taxidermy, when his mom, the head of a broken home burned Gein's works, Edward went nuts, murdered all his family and was until the day a police officer visted the house looking for Gein's sister, Ed never attempted to lie, as for him, his sister was in her room, big surprise, the bodies were the new creations of Gein, applied his techniques of Taxidermy with his own family, the organs, skulls, flesh, everything was used by Edawrd Gein, skulls turned into bowls, vulvas turned into belts, a necklace of nipples, and more. The grindcore band Macabre has a song named Ed Gein, Slayer with their song Dead Skin Mask, Lordi with Deadache and From First To Last with Ride The Wings Of Pestilence.

Many other cases have inspired song namings or even naming of a band, like the mentiones Marilyn Manson, or The Black Dahlia Murder inspired on the unsolved case of a brutal murder in the 1940's.
