A Swedish heavy metal fan has had his musical preferences officially classified as a disability. The results of a psychological analysis enable the metal lover to supplement his income with state benefits.

Roger Tullgren, 42, from Hässleholm in southern Sweden has just started working part time as a dishwasher at a local restaurant.

Because heavy metal dominates so many aspects of his life, the Employment Service has agreed to pay part of Tullgren's salary. His new boss meanwhile has given him a special dispensation to play loud music at work.

"I have been trying for ten years to get this classified as a handicap," Tullgren told The Local.

"I spoke to three psychologists and they finally agreed that I needed this to avoid being discriminated against."

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Woa, no surprise that this happened in Sweden. That country is one of the heaviest producing countries of heavy metal. But there are extremes as well. Mannnn! That one guy, I guess he was called something with sun in his name, just threw razorblades into the crowd and ppl were really using them. Then he pulled out a knife and began to cut himself till you could see the rips. Reaaaally scary. It ended when he passed out and the ambulance brought him to hospital :P. This is how sickly ppl can end up.

[FleeZz]

who in gods name would trow razor blades in a big crowd :/ thats just wrong... might as well give them aids when they pay for the entry ticket :p
