I almost bought tickets to a show in may at arrowhead stadium in kansas city. Glad i didnt. They were kind of a "bucket list" live band for me but yeah i dont care anymore. Ill never see a metallica concert and im cool wit it lol.
Me too. They were a bucket list band for me, they came to Maryland last year and I kinda just didn't want to go. Glad I didn't.
I knew they sold out a long time ago, I just didn't think the band that wrote One, Blackened, and Disposal Heroes would outright abandon the principles that they at one time had. Or maybe they never really did, maybe it was all Cliff.
Music has always been connected to current events and politics. Wiping music clean of anything controversial or connection to real life is why we have the dumbest, blandest and most boring music of all time.
I’d rather hear a musician passionate about something I disagree with than generic music that sounds like a 5th grader using Mad Libs and between songs asking how Omaha’s doing tonight.
I’ve stopped going to classic rock shows after seeing zz top. Every classic rock show I’ve been to recently they’ve been disappointing and I was only going for bucket list too. The first time I saw AC/DC in 09 they were insane, the last time they were good. That sucked to see.
C'mon bro don't let the opinions of a 60 year old white dude decide on your bucket list items. Thats YOUR life and you are letting it be warped by the internet. You could go to a Metallica concert sometime, enjoy the music, knock an item off your bucket list. Or you can just be with this miserable group of people on the internet. Don't let the echo chambers on the internet decide your life! Go enjoy yourself homie, go see something you've always wanted to.
It's called having a consistent moral structure with deeply held ideals. If a guy touched kids, I wouldn't go out and vote for him just because I liked a show he did. As an example
I'm comparing not supporting someone based upon a conflict between my morals and my interests, to not supporting someone based upon a conflict between my morals and my interests.
The two can be compared. One is more extreme. Also, in my experience, the people who respond to people choosing morals over interest with "come on, don't let your MORALS stop you from enjoying something" are the kind of people who voted for Trump.
The pedophile in comparison was Trump BTW if you aren't aware.
My point is that you might not fuck with politics, but politics will fuck with you, and I will never fault someone for making a decision that is consistent with their morals regardless of what level of extreme it is applied to.
The problem with politics is that both left and right only care about their positions and wallets. It's the elite vs the poor and middle class. Always has been. Why does is always have to be far left or far right? You can also just have common sense...
And no in my country extreme left or right never gets in power. We have a wide variety of politic views without the extremes. But nothing changes, doesn't matter which party is in power. They make a lot of promises prior to election, and once they get chosen, nothing changes. The only change i see, is the fact that everything gets more expensive, and that we need to pay more taxes. While the filty rich politicians travel and live in luxury. Wake up
"Kamala would have been worse than Trump" ass take right here.
I am neither far left or far right in my political views, really. I'm left of center. American politics are just so far right that we can't have a proper left without it being labeled that way.
Also, I love that the extremes never get power where you live, but I don't have that luxury.
I agree that politics are more about the elite versus the common folk, but you can look at Trump and any of his possible political opponents and easily see how each will effect that divide, and the right is definitely fa r worse.
We shouldn't care about a party taking a dive into dipshittery just because the other side is there to soak water at the steps? Equality amongst classes is a subjective goal, but one of the parties is objectively better for not worsening our chances of reaching that goal
I'm center too. I'm not a racist, but i do acknowledge we have an illegal migrant problem. Our country and other countries in Europe are getting too crowded because of them. Do you understand what i mean with this? It's neither left or right. Not racist, but i do realise there is a problem. Has nothing to do with racism. Now if i make claims like this,people tell me i'm racist. Bullshit.
At this point anybody would be better in power than trump. He set the bar as low as it gets znd i feel sorry for the US citizens, and even more for the people who still vote for this guy, because they are clueless what's going on
Im sure theyll wipe their tears with stacks of cash.
Honestly, I still refuse to buy a Gillette product based on their dumbass ad campaign years ago when the MeToo bullshit started. Gillette will never get another dollar from me and im sure they care about that about as much as metallica cares about you
I saw them almost 20 years ago, they were awesome. They’re a band that make music for entertainment, let them do that. They’re not gonna miss you bro
We do these things not because they care, or even because you care, we know you don't. We do it because we care. Just because you're willing to compromise your gossamer thin values and morals doesn't mean we will.
Sure broski. No one is allowed to have an opinion or moral judgement until they live naked on a tree and eat only fruits and leaves. What an insanely powerful argument.
Yeah-and they’ll do just fine without you there. I hear Macklemore, Madonna, and this Kasey Musgrave lady have plenty of seats open at their concerts.
