      I love metal but it is famously full of neo-nazis lol. In thrash, Hetfield (Metallica) Mustaine (Megadeth) and King+Araya (Slayer) have all said some heinous stuff. Get into punk if you want an antifa crowd.

      Last week I discovered Tom Araya is maga, and it might be the reason for Slayer’s final break up. I can’t tell you the disappointment. I also wouldn’t bet my house on Lars and James not being maga.

        Jeff Hanneman used to play shows and make videos with a guitar that had a giant nazi-style “SS” on the pick guard and making songs glorifying people like Josef Mengele. Nobody ever joined slayer thinking about how inclusive they were

          Indeed, I guess we shouldn’t be surprise of catholics being A-ok with a pedo-dictator president who bombs Muslim schoolgirls, but still, wtf man.
