If I go to a concert or movie I want to hear the music or watch the show to escape from my current life. If they start talking politics then I’ll just look at the political flyers stack in my mailbox, the political texts, and the endless commercials. I’m not paying for the celebrities political commentary even if it aligns with mine. I just don’t want it.
The point is, by James Hatfield coming out and saying he’s not going to say anything. IS him saying something. That in and of itself is a political statement. Which is crazy coming from the singers of master of puppets, injustice for all, One, and the list of political songs Metallica has made goes on. James is being a tool. If he really meant what he said. He wouldn’t have grandstanded his position and he actually would have said nothing at all.
One is not political. It's about the human impact of war - not any political stance.
Master of Puppets is a song about drug addiction and the cycle of abuse.
Injustice for all is called and justice for all, and is similarly apolitical in nature.
The only tool here is you, pretending you know a damned thing about the band. And the most hilarious part is that they've written quite a few political songs.
