  I wonder how they would write this song today, given their front man’s current politicalleanings

    I know… it sucks when your old favorites turn out to be assholes. I was a huge fan of Smashing Pumpkins back in the day.

    Thankfully Green Day and The Offspring haven’t let me down.

      Man… I used to listen to Lost Prophets a lot in college.

      Never again, can never revisit any songs ever.

        I’m surprised you could type out the name without vomiting uncontrollably.

        Yeah same, it was the quotation marks that prompted an oof.
        No I dont think putting Palestine in quotation marks is “based”

    Little confused by the second link. It’s not about Draiman, its just one of the band members saying assassinating trump wouldnt do the US any favours (I somewhat agree for different reasons, killing him would have started civil war 2 most likely).

    In case you missed it/didn’t think of it, there’s a rather notorious tweet about student loans (unless he deleted it) that rubbed me the wrong way so I’d use that instead personally. He basically said “you took out a loan, pay it back” which ignores all the context for those who got one.

    Plus there’s the fact their lyrics in the last album seem very “can’t we all just get along” and tends to trivialise many of the issues in the US right now. It’s this idea of “if we all just talked we’d see we have common ground” bullshit like no one has had a real conversation in the last 25 years cos they’re all on their phones etc.
