Metallica has been a joke for decades. Remember when they were the poster boys for the industry opposition against Napster?
They were never metal, they just sounded like it. As soon as they got a voice and money, they hopped on the Corporate/Conservative bandwagon. They didn’t sell out on Black, they just stopped pretending.
Gazan orphans dressed as Miss Rachel while learning how to box is the most metal thing I’ve seen this year
The “Hetfield Effect” describes rockers who are anti-establishment in their youth who often become more conservative as they age and are both wealthy and no longer able to be conscripted. Or, if we were to borrow a term from the boomers, “I got mine, fuck you.”
Also true for boomer hippies.
Also coincides with a complete loss of creativity.
Those guys haven’t set off a metal detector since 1987…
James is a fucking coward and metallica is shit.
There’s a similar issue from earlier this century of artists who turn into copyright maximalists once they’re ridiculously successful, forgetting the mixtape culture and the mp3 culture is what led to concert ticket sales and t-shirt sales.
But yeah they get old and afraid their gazillions are going to run out even when their tours are still selling out from albums released forty years ago, and they have a robust investment portfolio.
You’re never gonna believe who the poster child of that was in the Napster era
Brings me back to the Flash animation series mocking Metallica for their Napster outcry.
MacroMedia Flash animation was so fucking ahead of its time, and Adobe can go to hell for murdering it.
some asshole drummer
Their douchebaggery spawned one of the greatest Flash animations ever
So between the St. Anger debacle, jailing their own fans for downloading their music, and this, are Metallica the biggest pussies in the business?
They have very stiff competition but yeah, they’re DEFINITELY up there with the worst of them!
Um ackchyually, Miss Rachel is more Punk than Metal.
¿Por que no los dos?
Punk made their anti-fascist / anti-nazi /anti-racism stances quite well known since the movement started. Metal on the other hand, one must carefully investigate each and every band, as half of them are open or closeted fascists and racists.
Half of them is a massive exaggeration. Even if only looking at black metal and ignoring the rest, the number of sketchy bands is still relatively small.
I don’t know about “half”, but yeah.
I’d go with hardcore, I think.
Really from the band that crashed out over Napster?
They have no standards except double ones
If there were no double standards there wouldn’t be any standards at all
FIRE BAD!
between this and monkey for president, camp chaos was everything
James spent blood, sweat and beers!!
BEERS GOOD!
Blood, sweat, and motherfucking beer!
Theyve always been dbags posing as rebels
Did Metallica do a sheeran?
Pretty much, except going the extra step of denigrating anyone with the moral fortitude to speak out.
I’ve not liked Metallica since well before Ed was ever first called a ginger cunt. Ed probably wasn’t even born when I started my brigade against those hacks.
So between metallica and megadeth=> they can both fuck off.
James has always had this position but ffs READ THE FUCKING ROOM MAN!!!
between metallica and megadeth i choose axl fuckin rose every time
T-SHIRTS GOOOOOOOODCRITICISING ISRAELI GOVERNMENT BAAAAAD
Shoulda just taken out the whole band if I’m being honest. They would still be legends and we wouldn’t have seen what gigantic pieces of shit they all were. Also no one would have to even knows who Lars is which would be a huge win for humanity.
I stopped listening to them after that, never bought another album or went to a concert. I was pissed they didn’t disband.
Can I get the context for Miss Rachel?
Unlike the wimps of Metallica, she’s proven herself willing to jeopardize her career by speaking truth to power.
Specifically about how she thinks that murdering and starving hundreds of thousands of children is actually a BAD thing even when it’s the West’s favorite fascist apartheid state doing it.
I get that, I just don’t know who she is or what she sings or how she spoke to power. Was it a song? A post? I’m guessing she’s an entertainer for children?
What’s her career?
Children’s edutainment.
And she’s damn good at it too, being nearly universally ADORED by the tens of millions of parents who’ve ever watched her videos with their kid, as well as the kids themselves.
Google.
Wow, she’s really into AI these days.
Our time isnt worth less than yours. Spend your own time answering basic questions.
I use to feel that way. I guess I still feel that way. Now-a-days I spoon feed information to people online because I know they will not actually look the information up.
Fair. I personally prefer to tell people to atop being lazy.
She’s based af
For anyone requiring too much context https://youtu.be/QwpanShgOp4
To be fair to Metallica, Metal, along with various “outcast” and “manly” hobbies/interest, have been infested with political tourist. It’s why these hobbies have fanbases that are just insane, but do have money to spend. It’s grim, shit sucks.
Metallica have been tourists since day zero
There’s also a ton of white supremacists, I don’t think Metallica would particularly lose any fans but I bet some metal groups would actually lose fans supporting Israel lol.
