It's totally fucked, but not surprising where I'm from. That new wave that cropped up in the mid-00s carried a lot of people that are now lefties.
I was pretty surprised with how many people disowned Jon Schaffer. It's not like he hid his patriotism! Lol.
I did not know that he was at the capital that day. That's pretty based. I used to go to Iced Earth shows in San Francisco way back in the day. I used to think Dave Mustaine was the only one that would ever go public with it. At least he is out on bail...
True story-I took guitar lessons from Ernie Carletti back in the day. LOL he’s in prison for rape of a UD student. I was at his house... waiting in his garage studio with another student and parent and we were wondering where the F Ernie was and why it looked like his studio door had been kicked in. Turns out he was arrested that morning or night prior.
He had just been made member of Iced Earth.
Zoomer metalheads' favorite pastime is to call Pantera racist/problematic.
I can't think of any Pantera lyrics that are either of those things, unless violence in general is considered problematic, but most of them have no problem with rap or hip-hop which is far more obscene
It goes back to Rebel flags being common imagery on their shirts and flown at their concerts, it also didn't help that Phil Anselmo once shouted "white power" on camera though that might really have been a really poor attempt at a joke given how apologetic he was and never saw him do it again. The songs however never gave any sort of racist vibe.
Pantera is from the South. So if they don't understand the flag, I can see why someone would think that.
In my experience, the South is less racist, and more tolerant than the North. Up North, the hate is all behind closed doors.
I can back that up 👍🏼💯
Most metal fans I know are pretty based but I do know a few younger soyboi metalheads, weird guys who have the metalhead look and some can even lift three times what I can working physical labor jobs but they are still virtue signalling beta males who get pushed around by feminist women and have no will to fight if you confront them over anything. If I had to guess it's lack of a strong father figure and probably being smothered by a mom who never let them fully grow up.
I fight like Hell too much to turn into that, but you're right, I can't speak for the younger ones...
