However, I don't think that changes the fact that there are some pretty satanical bands out there.

Your right on both accounts, two of biggest ones are Alice Cooper (Vincent Fumier) and Ted Nugent. Both portrait complete wild men while on stage but are very reserved gentlemen in different ways. Uncle Teddy's a family guy with 4 children is straight as an arrow (no drugs, no alcohol). His political leanings are another story. Vincent is a reserved family man who listen to mostly classical music and think the hole satanic metal thing is a big joke. In a video interview he talks about meeting some of the Norwegian satanic bands while on tour there and how the whole demonic persona is a facade. When meeting him they all became fan boy geeks, asking for autograph, pictures him and stuff. so yes images is really important to some of these bands. As for how many are really satanic probably not more than a hand full. Even King Diamond is not what he seems.
