No, it shouldn't be banned. What's next... heavy metal? Punk rock?   Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it should be banned. I thought this site was full of people who talk about freedom and civil liberties. If a certain kind of person listens to a certain kind of music, oh well- you go after them if they are committing a crime, otherwise wait for the fad to die off. Russia won't ban metal! Medvedev is a metal head! :cool: I read his favorite bands are Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple. :clink     Medvedev is a devoted fan of hard rock, listing Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin as his favorite bands. He is a collector of their original vinyl records and has previously said that he has collected all of the recordings of Deep Purple.[44][45] As a youth, he was making copies of their records, although these bands were then on the official state-issued blacklist.[46] In February 2008, Medvedev and Sergei Ivanov attended a Deep Purple concert in Moscow together.
