just wanna clarify i dont think music is entirely responsible for these crimes. obv u gotta be crazy in the first place to do any of this, just interesting how ppl have connected music to these crimes!
If you ever think about part 2, cover Pookie Loc robbery on Gucci Mane, which went wrong for first one mentioned, but was the one that clearly started from lyrics by Jeezy and put whole Jeezy - Gucci beef on another level (references in their music and murder case for Gucci). Also, Locc 2 Da Brain by Brotha Lynch Hung was mentioned few times as a motivator for crimes.
You should look more into the Manson stuff, him as well as the unabomber were direct influences of the MK Ultra experimentation. Charles Manson had a get out of jail free card because all the cops were told that him regularly being released on serious crimes was "Above their pay grade."
You made a whole video about how music is responsible for these crimes you clown lmao
You can't make music about crimes but, you must take into account your delivery on vocals but that comes from the intention of writing it. An example is apnea by currents. It's about what would happen if a normal human caught a rapist.
"your honor, my client is innocent as he did not commit the crimes, it was the song that inspired him to do it"
literally some of the defenses in this vid lmao
Waiting for the video “who is the comment farmer behind HeisenbergFam”
@@mattyballz what’s the song you song you liked 💀 I’m just wondering if I’ll like it too so when I get in serous trouble I’ll know who to blame it on
Serious*
It was really Invisible Bob
This man is innocent
If you’re catching bodies because “music motivated you to” I don’t think it was musics fault, I think you’re just messed up mentally.
do you realize that black people kill people every single day because of music... they already would be killing people daily, but stuff like drill rap is making it worse.
Music makes whatever your doing feel right. for sure people have 808s bumpin while doing drivebys
@@jerrystackpaper yeah but it doesnt cause it, its just a catalyst
listening to drill doesnt just immediately make you want to commit a driveby
fair point
Even using terms like "Catching bodies" is sorta part of the problem. I feel like It kinda undermines the gravity of what is describes. You catch a base ball, you murder a person and take them away from their family and friends forever and cause imense hurt. I guess its a sort of desensitization through language.
The Linkin Park story shocked me because I'm a huge fan but I didn't expect anyone to do a crime especially as severe as Charles. Papercut and In The End is a song I relate to a lot and I wouldn't want to hurt anyone.
I feel like being a huge fan of Linkin Park is a criminal offense
@@pete7164 Guess I'm a criminal lol
Yeah 99.99% of any music fan wouldn't want to hurt someone based on the music, it's not like a crazy revelation
That’s because you are a normal person and not a psychopath. Every person who commits crimes are all influenced by something. That’s why saying that “x” is the “cause” is so stupid, because if “x” didn’t become the push, then “y” would have. You can’t blame the push and say it was the cause.
@@pete7164 Sorry to hear you hate good music
Of course "Bodies" is misinterpred. Only few people realise that this song is actually "It's rainning man" by Weather Girls from different point of wiev.
I love this joke, never gets old
I can confirm you are tripping about the meaning of "bodies". I knew Dave from the DFW music scene and I remember when they wrote bodies. It was a mosh song meant to get the crowd pumped. Clubs like the gypsy tea room and trees were his inspiration for the lyrics; rowdy. He was all heart and a good spirit.
There’s one I’d like to add that I didn’t see in the time stamps.
The one that comes to my mind most is Israel’s Son by Silverchair inspiring 2 teens to commit a triple murder back in the 90’s. The lead singer of Silverchair named Daniel Johns was very upset about the idea of one of his songs being a huge inspiration for the murder. It includes lyrics like “Hate is what I feel for you, I want you to know that I want you dead”. To these teens, they took the lyrics too seriously.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that all the members from Silverchair were 15-16 years old when the murders happened. They seemed to have a rough time dealing with it from interviews I read.
been a fav album of mine forever
going through feeling like you cause someone to die is already hard, but being a teenager at the same time makes it so much worse
‘Look at your game’ is a Manson song he tried to give to Neil Diamond but was rejected. It’s a really good tune but when I discovered it was Manson it felt weird to revisit. It’s also in ‘once upon a time in Hollywood’
so good
“Next time you assault a dude, just tell the judge it was MY fault, and I’ll get sued”
- Eminem, Sing for the Moment
"When a dude's getting bullied and shoots up his school and they blame it on Marylin and the heroin, now where we're the parents at?"
-also Eminem, "The Way I Am"
I'm surprised you didn't mention the murder of Elyse Pahler. It's a very brutal story and probably deserves its own video. The guys who did it happened to listen to Slayer a lot and wanted to do a sacrifice for their own metal band to be successful (plot twist: it wasn't). The victim's parents tried to sue Slayer for influencing the killers and of course it didn't go anywhere -- Slayer was not found liable. The guys all got life sentences after one of them converted to Christianity, confessed, and revealed where her body was. She was only 15. Breaks my heart.
Isn't that the story which inspired Jennifer's Body?
@@liengandriod55 like the song by ken carson
Very glad that you decided to speak about how some types of music can influence certain thoughts. I feel like the consensus people have nowadays is either they act like music is the root cause of every societal ill, or people act like no one has ever been influenced to do anything ever because of the music they listen to. Neither of those viewpoints is reasonable, and I’m glad that you’re leveling the playing field.
I agree, it's a good approach to the video because people can take inspirational from literally anything. So, someone can be inspired by a song to commit a crime, but that's ultimately superficial and not the same thing as the root cause of why they did it. Which could be something as complex as mental health issues, or something as simple as peer pressure, and everything in-between.
While I agree with your statement, people should also keep in mind not everyone is the same. That things affect and influence people differently. For some the fast and chaotic music and aggressive vocals of Metal, Punk, and other types of Rock can be calming and relaxing. Or at the very least therapeutic. For others it sets off their anxiety. As another person might like bright and cheery Pop Songs whith uplifting lyrics. While someone else see's that as cheesy and unrealistic.
@@TakBonez Oh yeah I totally agree. It’s just we live in a world where generalizations are pretty much held to as truth if you’re around people who have similar experiences. For me, I’m actually pretty easy to please with music and enjoy a variety of genres, especially metal music which I find very relaxing. But I know that that’s not how most people think. They’re not willing to do anything but find confirmation bias.
@@RoarTheRapper Yep, and unfortunately most of the time and in most situations. Long ago realized most people lack Critical Thinking Skills, Reading and Listening Comprehension, and mostly Empathy. Most people can't or won't bother to try and understand the other person's view/point especially if they disagree.
Another one was the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007, Seung-Hui Cho had the lyrics to the Candlebox song Shine written on the walls of his dorm room and his roommates heard him play the song on repeat over twenty times before the massacre.
I think that it's further proof these kinds of things are all in the minds of the killers, that song is positive to a corny degree and sounds so wholesome and harmless that it's still regularly played in supermarkets. The chorus is "Whoa-ho-ah-ho, heaven let your light shine down." and he took it as an anthem for murder. Can't blame Candlebox for that...
That song is by Collective Soul
Just read that another motive for Charles Williams was also possible sexual molestation. Long after his arrest and trial, he mentioned being molested by an older man who hung around him and his skating group. In 2011, that man, Chris Reynolds, was sentenced to 40 years for sexually abusing multiple adolescent boys. Of course, not saying this justifies any shooting (in case anyone jumps to that), just that it is a crucial part to understanding where his anger likely emanated from as well as how trauma can greatly change how we perceive things that give us an emotional outlet (i.e. music and art).
Dont forget he was in the Mk ultra project by the cia just like ted kaczynski the unabomber he was recruited as a Teenager and put on high doses of psychedelics. The cia is also most likely the reason he got out of going to prison multiple times
I always fw your content. It’s not the same cookie cutter music content. These are more interesting and unique topics. Keep up the goated work👍🏿
Dude, it's kinda insane to see how far you've come. Basically every vid you've made released has over 100k views, shit is awesome to see man, happy to see all this fucking growth.
Thanks for coming along for the ride 🙏🤝
That Chief Keef kid is honestly just sad, just an ignorant kid playing grown up thinking that it was cool to kill and was saying he loved o'block but was from Oklahoma?? The internet can really twist kids minds for the better or the worst. Parents rlly should be getting themselves involved though if his mom knew he and his friends were "wanna be gangsters" she should have sat him down and talked about the reality he actually lives in and how blessed/lucky he is to NOT be in the position of the people who actually live in Parkway Gardens and other projects where violence is a daily occurrence..
Pekka-Eric Auvinen, a school shooter from Finland, made a threat video to his school with KMFDM - Stray Bullet playing background. He killed 9 (including himself) and injured 12.
Many people later told that the song was more about premature ejaculation than shooting with guns. 😅
I remember Bodies by Drowning Pool came on my Pandora the day after the Eagles of Death Metal concert mass shooting. After reading everything the victims were saying, listening to that song just gave me a pit in my stomach. I still love the song but damn
I never saw this coming, different and interesting.....I LOVE IT!
new mattyballz video on my bday LETS GOOO
happy birth day
It's a very little known fact that the Gordon Lightfoot hit "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" inspired a rogue freighter captain to deliberately scuttle a vessel by the same name, killing all 29 crew members aboard
To me, the strangest thing about the Charles Williams case is that the list of songs that influenced him did not include Numb.
I have a video idea. What if you did a video about "The First". Like for example: 'The first hip hop artist to receive a Grammy' or 'the first artist to be in a major film.' you can do a series of it or you can just shotgun it and have a list of first in any music.
Good idea! i’ll try to think of skme
goated channel you will have 500k in no time fr
looking well groomed this vid matt
😂😂 thank you
Gotta love to see "Bodies" being mentioned, the most perfect metal song, RIP Dave Williams, but yeah i agree with the statement, like how would they think lets write a theme for murderers, like the bridge most definately depicts moshing, like it seems like your are agreeing with the media that drowining pool made it about murder
Daddy MattyB at it again. Thank you for the upload papi
Here at 135k subs. Knowing you will get to 1m soon. Keep it up.
P.s Look into older stuff. Eg Jimmy hendrix deat. Robert Johnson soul. The whole fleetwood mac saga starting with Peter Green. Etc etc.
I love when matty post
Bodies by Drowning Pool was the anthem for early Runescape PKing videos too!
Awesome video
matthew ballz slowly becoming the goat of thi shiii
🤝🤝 Jivo up next
love you man ❤
new Matty Ballz Video!
I know this video is kind of "old" at 2mo, but I wanted to say that I think the topics u select are fascinating--esp the musicians who disappeared one. Keep it up!
Thanks!
I can think of one crime inspiring a song...
The Boomtown Rats hit, 'I Don't Like Mondays' was about the Grover Cleveland Elementary School shooting on 29 January, 1979, by Brenda Spencer.
When asked by a reporter, why she would commit such a crime, Spencer replied, "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day".
As a kid, I was absolutely fancinated by the whole Manson saga. I was very young during the Satanic Panic, so I think I was just shocked that people could keep claiming music made them do bad things.
never been this early to mattyballz
The defense be like:
"If the song hits, you must acquit."
Yo the James Edwards story is crazy because my teacher told us about and how that was his little cousin who shot the cricket/baseball player. He told my class that he shot him because his friends that were in the car said that he was scared to shoot someone.
I find that strange with the whole violent music makes you angry as ive read many studys on how the more extreme heavy metal genres actually calm you down as the music is so aggresive it helps you relieve your anger as the music helps you actually express and vent these feelings and majority of the lyrics are violent for sure lol. And some studys have actually found people that listen to heavy metal to be some of the most happy go lucky people getting around
Hm interesting. Not sure ab the science behind it but i can say personally i’ve felt both
@@mattyballz all depends on the person, their mood, and how they interpret and internalize the music or their intent to do so.
Underrated Comment
Source: trust me bro
It makes me agitated if I am too into it 🤷♀️
I cant wait to watch this video is cool af. Music so amaizng
W video but what camera do you use?
Panasonic lumix g7
Get Jiggy With It is gonna be hard to explain in court
I love you, matty ballz
Good video second one was sad. Good video
God the u2 one was also sad. I dotn wanna say autsim but gosh both 2 and that one jeez
Hi Matty
When you think about it, because the Guns n Roses was about Axl Rose's dog, makes the song even more depressing.
Tormentor of Christian Souls by Dimmu Borgir is a fantastic metal song. And maybe not the best Christian, I am one. The argument that heavy music causes violent behavior is the same as pokemon are the devil or GTA makes people commit crimes.
lets not forget about the countless NY grocery and corner stores that were tragically robbed on the day of the OTIS premier on Hot 97 July 20, 2011
I blame Flex for taking so long to past the intro
Very interesting video
Do you use the music from death note as background music?
on occasion
Keep these vids up man i love them and they seem to be getting lots of views
Bruh in the end sound dark asf when it's just spoken😂
i misread justin barber for justin bieber 😂 i was like “what killer was influenced by justin bieber ??” 🤣🤦🏾♀️
Look at your game girl is my favorite from Manson :))
if you ever did a part 2 of this, i'd love to see the case of Joseph Edward Gallegos and him allegedly killing his friends while motivated by "Locc 2 Da Brain" by Brotha Lynch Hung
Man that’s a A.I. rendering 😂 @13:20
13:43 this sentence tells you a whole lot about America and their gun laws
That’s crazy how songs was strangers
Underrated mf'ing channel
why doesnt this vid have a million
the subtle dethnote music in the backround had me thinking death note was playing inna diffrent tab lmaoooooo
Keep these type of videos coming
amazing video dawg also congrats on the one video getting a million views that crazy 🖤
thank u bro 🙏
If there's a crime based on Tyler, The Creator's Tron Cat, WE ARE DOOMED💀
I feel like the music itself isn’t to blame when awful things happen and the person and/or people that are responsible for the action(s) that took place say they were inspired to do so by a certain song or songs because different people could take the lyrics of a song and it makes them think or feel differently from how the song was originally meant. I think that with the James Edwards case, scientifically, the rational part of the teen brain is not yet fully developed, so it makes sense that they would be quick to sometimes make irrational decisions. I feel like maybe if there had been a responsible adult present, that never would’ve escalated into an actual murder taking place. I also think that perhaps James and his friends were a bad influence on each other; maybe it was Chancey’s idea and he kind of peer pressured Michael and James into thinking it was all fun and games.
I found this video to be very interesting! 🤔
You know rap now inspires crimes as well
Have you ever noticed that he just straight up has a katana in his bedroom, it’s not that weird but it’s just something interesting I just noticed
Home defense
@@mattyballz smart man
Rip to all the victims
Manson was such a a little stupid little goofy little guy, blackbird was about the civil rights movement and Paul McCartney's support of it and helter skelter was literally about a roller coaster 💀
I just knew the guy who killed the cop in Texas who said they were influenced by Tupacs violence song makes the list.
The theme song for the Zombie Apocalypse is 'Hunting Humans' by Misfits.
Idk why but I died laughing at the fact that James edwards tweets chief keef lyrics and is from fucking Oklahoma 💀
Linkin Park had the best response to the tragedies
HI MR MATTY. JARED FROM SOUTH AFRICA. AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS GOOD CONTEXT AND EXPLINATIONS. WE NEED MORE $B CONTENT
THANKS JARED, IF U GOT ANY GOOD IDEAS FOR THEM LMK
Future inspired me to try Percocet 🙏🏽💯
I think there was a crazy murder involving Necros music back in the day too
Bro forgot the Ja Morant Youngboy incident
Ok i haven't watched the first matrix or really any of them in a while but when tf did neo have or use a shotgun? M16s, mp5s, micro uzis, barettas and scorpions but no shotguns.
Wow I am a huge linkin park fan but never knew that dammmmm
7:04 did bro escape the matrix
Noti gang
Charles Manson was MK Ultras last test subject 👀
Considering how much Mason’s story has been told and retold. I think you should’ve chosen a lesser known case or added an extra case.
The ad before this video was a really old school hip-hop song and the lyrics (a positive message about peace and togetherness, in spite of the election, riots and etc.) were scrolling like movie credits and there was a looping gif of a weird looking white-faced monkey/ape-monster thing looking very disgruntled in the background and that's why TH-cam said no to ad-block.
In a few years I think we sill start seeing influencer inspired crimes. Like physical crimes like murder.
Make a video about Dave chappelle being cloned.😮
Why did he dress as Neo, when he looks like Morpheus?! xD
Surprised you didnt mention the several crimes and murders commited by mental ICP fans and Juggalos.
As an ICP fan with no interest in committing crimes, it's a fascinating and equally upsetting situation, especially considering that, because of the crimes, Juggalos as a whole were labeled as an official Gang by the FBI.
YOO HE GOT A MAC MILLER ALBUM ON HIS WALL :D
X made me do it, I “spotlight” now bros in the “moonlight”
Every Youngboy Never Broke Again song 😂
Nah that last one is skinny Pete ☠️
the song “Israel’s Son” by the band Silverchair supposedly inspired two teens to kill somebody
Can't blame chief keef
I don't believe just because some media is violent it makes people more violent it's a common myth thrown particularly at violent games and music Manson blamed the Beatles probably one of the most commercial bands ever who was reasonably clean cut.
dawg dont bring linkin park into this 😭
Ja Morant will be in one of these soon
Meanwhile Cannibal Corpse "It is in my nature to murder, if I stop I know I will die"
