We continue our “April Fools” series with a fun game for all you Metalheads! Play along as I try to stump Leroy Luna, host of Excuse Me, That’s Illegal, as he tries to guess I’m quoting serial killers or lyrics from metal songs. 

We also discuss how rock and metal bands’ music has been tied to and even blamed for some horrific true crimes.
