Is this just a good time or is there something of a deeper significance going on here as well? What type of effect does this music have upon people? Is it only rock 'n' roll? These questions and others will be answered as Hell's Bells takes you on a journey to the heart of rock 'n' roll. You'll discover what it can do to an egg. Your head. Your life. And your eternal soul. We'll explore rock's relationship to sex, violence, suicide, drugs, rebellion, and, most importantly, the occult. Come with us now as we join our host, Eric Holmberg, Founder and Director of Reel to Real Ministries for Hell's Bells: The Dangers of Rock 'n' Roll. Thanks for taking the time to watch this video and I hope and pray that you'll get something good, maybe even life-changing out of it. Before we get started, however, I wanted to make a few points clear kind of lay down the ground rules for you. First, we're going to be taking a pretty hard look at contemporary music and I'll be saying some pretty direct things, both about the music and the artists. Please understand that nothing personal is intended here against anybody. I don't hate these artists, I'm not trying to say that God hates them, and I'm certainly not trying to get you to hate them. We simply want to look at rock music from the perspective of truth as defined by both the scriptures and the Person of Jesus Christ. And in that context if we find something that looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and acts like a duck, then shoot we're just going to have to call it a duck. Now you might not believe that the Bible and Jesus are the standard for absolute truth and that, therefore, their comments as they relate to rock music are irrelevant. Well, don't get up-tight. We'll hopefully deal with the issue of faith as we progress, but at least at the outset, try to keep an open mind and, at minimum, understand that right or wrong, what you are about to see and hear is what the Bible and Jesus have to say about these things. Now you might also find some of the information about the artists and the music incredible, maybe even hard to believe. Please understand that every point has been carefully researched and documented. All quotes, for example, were taken either from the artist's own writings, rock magazines, books on musicology, or biographies written by sympathetic fans. Because of the wealth of material we're going to cover, and in the interest of time and the aesthetics of this presentation, I'm not going to generally site the sources. If you're interested, the closing credits will contain information on how you can get a copy of the script along with all the documentation. And finally, to preempt the inevitable outcries of censorship, let me go on record. We're not here pushing for record banning, record burning, or even the dubious practice of rating rock albums. So don't anybody worry! We're not trying to control what people listen to. What we are trying to do is help people understand the big picture, to peal back the veneer of pop culture and gaze into the bedrock of truth that lies beneath. Then people can make decisions about their lives, music, or anything else armed with truth and understanding. Now, as we begin our video journey to the heart of rock 'n' roll, let's listen to probably the only true thing that Wendy O. Williams and the Plasmatics ever laid down on vinyl. Appropriately enough, it was recorded backwards. (from the end of Side 2 of "Coup d'Etat") When we play the tape reversed we hear. "The brain-washed do not know they are brain washed." At 12:32 Wednesday morning a performance by the popular punk rock group The Huns was cut short when police arrested the groups volatile lead singer, Phil Tolstead. Charged with inciting a riot, this incident becomes the latest in a young and sordid career that has featured not only the standard spewing forth of obscenities and hate, but has also included mock crucifixions and the ridicule of God and prayer. The confrontation is said to have begun as Tolstead pointed at a uniformed police officer while singing the Hun's song "Eat Death, Scum!" That's right Mike Rock 'n' Roll! Powered by space-age technology and popularized by the largest, wealthiest and most leisure generation of young people in history, rock music has changed the modern world in ways more profound than perhaps any other social phenomenon. Evidence of its impact are many and varied. Rock has become a multi-billion dollar industry, one recently described by the National Review as "the most prosperous industry in the world". (National Review, February 24, 1989, p.28) Its superstars have annual incomes that easily eclipse those of all but a handful of the most successful industrialists and businessmen. And the music is virtually everywhere from packed sports arenas to commercials that peddle everything from tennis shoes to alcohol from the sound tracks of movies and television series to the pulsing rhythms that reverberate in our health spas. Everything today seems to march to its rhythm. Perhaps the only thing more notable than rock's pervasiveness is the manner in which it helps shape the hearts and minds of the worlds' youth. As Dr. David Elkind noted in his book The Hurried Child, one of the most underestimated influences on young people today is the music industry. (The Hurried Child, Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1988, pp. 89 -93) Citing again the National Review: "Rock's sheer pervasiveness makes it the most profound value shaper in existence today. Unless you are deaf it is virtually guaranteed that rock music has affected your view of the world." (National Review, February 24, 1989, p. 28) From the manner in which young people dress to the way they view and understand the key issues of life, little escapes the pale cast by rock's big sound. And it's no wonder. Young people wake up to it, drive to it, play to it, study to it, and go to sleep to it. Studies show that between the 7th and 12th grades, the average teenager will listen to and watch 11,000 hours of rock music and rock videos - more than twice the time they will spend in class.
