Tolkien, the original rockist music critic

getting really into Summoning records, even though I haven't read a word of Tolkien since I was a kid

Aw, I love that Bo Hansson album.

Dudes, Elvish Presley/Black Elf Speaks. Feel it.

Magic is real.

Not a big reader of Tolkien, so I just learned last weekend that the name Burzum comes from there. I went and checked it out and apparently there are quite a few bands out there with Tolkien-derived names.

So, I had some friends in high school who named their band after something fron Tolkien and received some sort of letter from the estate threatening legal action if they didn't change their name. And they were just some high school/community collefe guys that mostly played teen center dances. So how have Burzum, Amon Amarth, Gorgoroth, etc. pulled it off? Is the Tolkien estate actually toothless in this regard?
