According to BBC News, police say two people have been found dead at a music festival in southern Norway headlined by Alice Cooper. The victims were found in or near a bus at the Norway Rock Festival in Kvinesdal, 270 miles southwest of Oslo.

"We do not know exactly how they died, but we assume they suffocated on fumes while they were on the bus," said police spokesperson Asbjorn Enoksen.

soo, how is metal going to be blamed for this incident. seeing as how if anyone dies at , by, near a gig or if they are wearing a metal shirt or like the music it has to be someone like mansons fault.

Wow! That sucks! Wonder who's tour bus it was? I suppose details will come with time, but agree with Jackrum. Metal will end up being the culprit!

alice cooper headlining one day and motorhead the other.. no idea if mazza manson, slipknot slayer or some other allegedly satanic band of devil worshipping musicians are there but i dare say the media are licking their collective lips.

Hey, at least they went at Alice Cooper instead of Death Cab For Cutie.

Not too long after I posted this there was a story about this on MSNBC that also stated there were six people injured in the same incident who were found unconscious and were taken to a hospital. Very curious. What where they all doing? Just sitting in some enclosed area with the bus running for an extended period of time?

On a completely unrelated note, it turns out I really don't like Velvet Revolver. I was listening to Hardingrock in the car when my wife switched over to the radio to see if we could hear some information about an event that was happening in town that day. For some reason we left the radio on after hearing the advertisement and listened to a full song (and I learned my lesson - the radio is not my friend). While listening to it I said "What the hell? Is this a Christian station? This is the most boring, un-metal thing I've ever heard, and it has this weird upbeat Sunday School vibe that I just can't stand." When the song ended the announcer came back on and said "So that was Velvet Revolver!" to which my wife responded "Velvet Revolver, isn't that the band made up entirely of has-beens that nobody cares about anymore?" So yeah, I guess we aren't fans. My apologies in advance to any Velvet Revolver fanatics that I may have offended. To each his own, but honestly I'd rather have teeth pulled than ever hear that song again.

Alice cooper probably killed them with yet another lackluster record.

Haha, I like Velvet Revolver.
On topic though, this is is obviously no accident. Alice Cooper clearly wanted those fans to die.

Am I the only one who smells something fishy about this whole thing? I just cant shake my gut feeling that something is just wrong about this and I dont mean that people died. I mean how they died.

They haven't done an autopsy yet. If they assume that the people suffocated on fumes then something is wrong with the bus. I suppose it's also possible that they OD'd on something.

I just cant imagine how someone would hang out by any vehicle with its fumes running and not do something.
