I'm starting to get the feeling the government doesn't always work in our best interest

It's a shame that Mustaine is basically a chud, or ideologically ignorant enough that's there's no difference, because Megadeth really had some great bangers.

[-] Babs@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago

I vaguely remembered something about him going born again Christian and burning bridges with other artists over that, so I jogged my memory a bit.

This dude has been making homophobic and racist statements for longer than I've been alive. Real piece of shit.

Mustaine's chuddishness is tearing me apart, my mother raised me on Megadeth trying to keep me away from what my culture's music actually sounds like. I'd memorized the entire Countdown to Extinction album by the time I was 11. And now this.

meanwhile i got my dad into Megadeth when i was a teen and exploring metal. he was just a generic ACDC 70s rock guy

found out later about what a POS Mustaine was.

all the good politics are in the screamy hardcore-adjacent metal bands. listen to Unearth to get good thrash with a side of hardcore but also good politics

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Damn, does Unearth have good politics? I really liked their album The Oncoming Storm when it came out, but never really listened too much to anything after that.

[-] Des@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

yeah they are green anarchists/socialists. frontman used to spend a lot of time fucking with right wingers and libs on twitter until he decided it was too annoying

their recent albums are waaay more blackpilled though but for good reason with climate change + nuclear war being the main themes

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

yea I was a teen when Countdown came out. I basically cut my teeth on Metallica and Megadeth. Was a real shock when the Napster Bad happened and the Internet started making it easier to see these guys views' outside of the MTV/RollingStone filter.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

I've never really forgiven them for the anti-Napster bullshit. Their music at the time had become the most boring, safe radio rock too.

The whole thing was just bizarre in retrospect: who's going to be the first to raise a stink about Napster? Maybe one of the mainstream pop artists like Britney Spears or the Backstreet Boys? Nope, it's fucking Metallica, who built their careers around being anti-establishment, and were also rich enough that they didn't need any more money. Incredibly funny that they'd willingly destroy their credibility.

Same. To this day I refuse to legally listen to any Metallica song. It might be petty but I've been doing it since I was like sixteen so I'm not gonna stop now.

Watch this tho. Someone changed "nothing else matters" to major scale and changed the whole feel. i think it's cool https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oruno-NlJh0

He also said really mean things about bass players rage-cry

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

Dude supported Santorum for president.

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago

In an alternate parallel reality, there's a department store muzak station playing "Peeps Sell... But Who's Buying?" on repeat right now and it is driving the poor retail workers FUCKING INSANE because this is their Mariah Carey

Oh my name it is nothin’

My age it means less

The country I come from

Is called the Midwest

I’s taught and brought up there

The laws to abide

And that the land that I live in

Has God on its side

Oh the history books tell it

They tell it so well

The cavalries charged

The Indians fell

The cavalries charged

The Indians died

Oh the country was young

With God on its side

Oh the Spanish-American

War had its day

And the Civil War too

Was soon laid away

And the names of the heroes

l’s made to memorize

With guns in their hands

And God on their side

Oh the First World War, boys

It closed out its fate

The reason for fighting

I never got straight

But I learned to accept it

Accept it with pride

For you don’t count the dead

When God’s on your side

When the Second World War

Came to an end

We forgave the Germans

And we were friends

Though they murdered six million

In the ovens they fried

The Germans now too

Have God on their side

I’ve learned to hate Russians

All through my whole life

If another war starts

It’s them we must fight

To hate them and fear them

To run and to hide

And accept it all bravely

With God on my side

But now we got weapons

Of the chemical dust

If fire them we’re forced to

Then fire them we must

One push of the button

And a shot the world wide

And you never ask questions

When God’s on your side

Through many dark hour

I’ve been thinkin’ about this

That Jesus Christ

Was betrayed by a kiss

But I can’t think for you

You’ll have to decide

Whether Judas Iscariot

Had God on his side

So now as I’m leavin’

I’m weary as Hell

The confusion I’m feelin’

Ain’t no tongue can tell

The words fill my head

And fall to the floor

If God’s on our side

He'll stop the next

war

Dylan's good sometimes

[-] Juice@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

Dylan is almost universally good when the song isn't just a paternalistic lecture directed at a woman

[-] iByteABit@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

Do you remember where you where when you realized it?

[-] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago

I was on the bus to school when I paid attention to the lyrics of Hangar 18 for the first time.

(I'm 16 and a half btw)

[-] iByteABit@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago

It was a reference to A Tout Le Monde lol

[-] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

Oh shit, I've just been exposed as a poser

[-] Angel@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

Don't look now to Israel; it might be your homeland!


[-] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

Dying for religion, something I just don't understand
