4. Phoebe from Friends loves Carcass

What? Why the seminal grindcore/death metal band Carcass? Is it because they used to name their guitar solos things like "Humanure" or "Rectal Intubation with Intolerable Hot Enema"? It just doesn't add up.

3. Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray loves Gorgoroth

I can't stop hating this guy. I really can't. It almost makes me feel bad. I don't know what it is, aside from the fact that he is much better looking and in shape and has hair and gets paid a lot, but I hate him. Anyway, Mark McGrath likes Gorgoroth, a Norweigan black metal band that once got in trouble in Poland for having a bunch of sheep's heads, sheep's blood and models that were naked and crucified on stage. They are also known as the only black metal band with a gay singer who co-owns a fashion line, and was in a band labeled as a "hate music group" by the Anti-Defamation League.
