I am no expert on this matter, but my friend who is a fan of hip-hop, gangsta rap and heavy metal players such as Pantera has told me that many fans of heavy metal have a skinhead or punk rock history, which is counter-intuitive to African Americans. If you ever watch a Rage Against the Machine concert, for example (especially the one in Holland), you will find that there is a heavy and noticeable concentration of skinhead types in the audience. My friend also knows a black person who was attacked during such a concert.
