Yes. Singing about injustice is fine. That's their message. It has been their message for decades.
They don't need to give speeches between their songs. When did we stop believing that the art was the expression of the artist?
26 u/milkhotelbitches 13h ago And yet, he decided to give a speech between songs. -1 u/Greedy-Employment917 13h ago Just not the one that you, and other non Metallica fans, wanted. Most of the people involved in this drama are not and were never Metallica fans, so who really gives a shit. 4 u/E7goose 13h ago Could have just played his music instead of complaining about complaining. Kind of lame. 5 u/milkhotelbitches 13h ago That's exactly what he would have done if he actually believed his concerts should be musical escapism. Instead, he wanted to take shots at one side without making any commitments himself. Lame and cowardly. 0 u/Quirky-Video-9146 13h ago The same thing was said by Ed Sheeran and y'all crucified him 7 u/somepeoplewait 13h ago I’m a fan of Metallica when they were metal. James Hetfield is a pathetic coward. 4 u/Comprehensive_Tax969 13h ago Yup. The last 4 decades they’ve been corporate sellouts and pretty much the anti-thesis of metal. Hetfield is the main corporate shill. 6 u/somepeoplewait 13h ago THANK YOU. They owe so much of their early success was due to Cliff Burton. Even a lot of the songs on …And Justice for All were based on riffs he wrote. After that, they became music for divorced dad going through embarrassing midlife crises.
