Didn’t exactly love Disturbed, but signing an Israeli artillery shell? Seriously, David?
I was heavily disappointed (and okay, fucking furious for a moment) when he showed solidarity with the Israeli government a few months after the devastation of Palestine started, but what can you do? Now what, he’s announced that he takes pride and pleasure in the Palestinian genocide by signing the shell? Fuck, man
Don’t buy anymore of their music, in fact pirate it specifically for that reason and never listen to it.
I was pleasantly surprised to recently discover the once racist drummer for a rather popular hardcore band speaking out against racists
This is 40 years later
Better than dying an old fascist like so many others
I grew up listening to country. Now, in my 30s, a lot of the songs hit different, and not in a good way.
first time visiting America I tried going though the radio. a Christian channel talking about how slavery was good, then switched to country music to hear a love ballad to a pick up truck.
and I thought GTA radio was satire.
I once tuned in to a random radio via radiogarden and it turned out to be a Christian talk radio. Listening to that for twenty seconds was one hell of a trip
why are American chritians so adamant to create hell on earth?
Outlaw country is the only country I ever listened to
With a big iron on his hiiiiiip
Please tell me more
“Outlaw country!”
I occasionally enjoy listening to Americana Boogie Radio online, they play a lot of old country style sings made by new and progressive people (there’s a lot of music about smoking weed, lol)
Fucking lostprophets, man. Even the other bandmates do everything they can to distance themselves.
I’ve never completely deleted all of a band’s music from everything, including my backups. Even some of the really rubbish stuff in genres I’m not into.
Except for Lostprophets.
To say Kanye West is a bigoted cunt is the understatement of the century.
Megadeth, Pantera, Rammstein…
What happened with Megadeth?
Given how much of their music is anti-war, anti-capitalism, and pro-environmentalism I’ll be disappointed if it’s egregious :-/
Frontmann Dave Mustaine is a christian bigot and had some really weird remarks about Obama. I think he saw how much backlash that got him and hasn’t said much since then, but as with Rammsteins frontman Lindemann I cannot trust anything anymore what they say.
Oh darn :-(

what happened with Rammstein?
Till Lindemann isn’t just pretending to be a misogynist for the edgy lyrics, he actually is a giant misogynist.
I really don’t remember much about it but this article seems okay

I cut them out entirely. I don’t want to support them emotionally through my enjoyment or monetarily.
Agreed. Beyond moral dilemmas, it’s just hard to enjoy something from a known pos
There are a few cases where someone became a piece of shit but I still love their old music because it shows the kind of person they used to be. Maroon 5’s first three records come to mind, but Adam is a rich dickwad who deserves nothing but irrelevance now.
It’s often the very thing that allowed someone to create something great that leads them down a dark path.
With the amount of really good music out there at a fingertip it’s easier than ever to drop bad artists.
Like I get the nostalgia factor, struggle with it myself sometimes, but you gotta stay young and work at discovering and digesting new stuff.
Staind
Smashing Pumpkins
Ariel Pink
Thats just a few
Nooooo not smashing pumpkins
What happened with Smashing Pumpkins?
Billy Corgan is a self-described free market libertarian capitalist https://www.nme.com/news/music/billy-corgan-speaks-political-stance-following-controversial-donald-trump-comments-2271885
Ugh … what a twat.
Thanks for providing a solid link :-)
He was always a cunt
I mean I don’t think he’s a bigot, just an asshole lol
Van Morrison Morrissey
I remember listening to a Bowling For Soup album a few years ago and every other song was basically “I hate my girlfriend, but I stay with her so people don’t think I’m gay” and I suddenly understood why they were a one hit winder
They had way more than one hit…
Also, their whole schtick was being immature. Not surprising their music was immature.
Everyone has their niche. I found out recently that BFS were fucked over by their label (Sony) releasing a compilation album without their knowledge, so they rerecorded all their songs and under their own label, effectively giving themselves the sole rights to their work, and then released Songs People Actually Liked – I respect their attitude
“High School Never Ends” explains a lot.
I used to listen to Skillet once upon a time. But I think recently the singer went full maga or something like that, possibly due to waning popularity.
Not sure though, it’s more like gossip because I haven’t been interested in them since about a decade or so. And I can’t say I was listening to their lyrics much in the first place.
In high school a friend burned me a Skillet cd without me asking. Before listening to them I looked them up, saw they were a Christian band, and threw away the disk.
Sorry for wasting your cd Mike, but you knew I was atheist. There was no way I was going to get into that.
I love Green Day. Keeping it as close to punk as GenX can nowadays
When you said Green Day I almost panicked wondering what shitty thing they did
One of the ones I always think about is I used to really like lostprophets. I’m torn between wanting a better person to cover those songs and having them die like the lead singer.
This is how I learned Ian Watkins is dead.
Good.
Edit: I added a nose and mouth
What about this then?
The horsmen of the reaction face
