I remember being a young teenager when during MTV Unplugged, Eddie Vedder got a magic marker and wrote 'pro choice' on his arm like he was trying to be hardcore. I wasn't sure how having a public magic marker tantrum was supposed to be cool but they lost all credibility in my mind after that.
On Pearl Jam’s second album in 1993 they have a BLMesque song called W.M.A. which stands for White Male American. It just bitches that white men have it good in their own country because Jesus looks like them and police don’t target them for unnecessary violence like police do to black men. Eddie Vedder owns land on moloka‘i which is restricted to most other people.
Yeah, when I saw Eddie turn total mouthpiece and tell his crowd to give their guns to the govt while being escorted by an armed entourage I said f@ck you and your music!
Eddie Vedder is retarded. But still made great music. I got disillusioned with Pearl Jam back when they helped get the West Memphis Three out of jail. Those fuckers were guilty.
You seriously owe it to yourself to look into jazz, folk, acoustic, and classical music. Also to look into underground stuff like Sythwave, nightwave, and all kinds of new EDM that is released idie on social media.
There is also a community of indie composers who work with (really good) orchestral synthesizers s to make orchestral arrangements of all kind of popular music, mostly soundtracks. Rozen and Samuel Kim on youtube come to mind.
It will take a while to get used to a lower level of intensity, but if you can drop popular bands, you will thank yourself.
Then you don't need to put up with morons who the elite have dug their hooks into to try and preach liberalism to you. You can get back to people actually making music.
Also "Rage" were sellouts from day 1. The raged against "the man" while working for a major fortune 500 record label and enjoying being part of the "in crowd" in the globalist-democrat elite system. I'm sorry friends if you believed they were anything but posers, well at least you are waking up now.
I guess I got old, but it gets tiring after a while. And only mostly because the metal favorites have been put back in the collection and come out less often.
That and slapping on a playlist for 8 hours a day for work, kinda gets you into the mode. High intensity music gets old.
That and there is no replacement for having 45 instruments to layer a composition. Classic Classical is good, but the modern stuff is also really good. IN fact the best living composers work for movies and games.
Thing with classical, you NEED good headphones to properly enjoy it. Again 45+ instruments if those phones are muddy, its not going to be as nice.
I listen to mostly swedish melodic Death Metal bands. You'd probably have to hold me at gunpoint to listen to jazz, classical, or anything acoustic. I never liked rage really to begin with. Their music always seemed whiney to me. Like a kid living with their parents till their mid 30's and bitching about what's not being given to them.
I'm on the Scar Symmetry and Soilwork level... It's like death metal with a bit of 80's hair metal. Never listened to Opeth. Might have to check em out
Their music is great. I purposefully don't look into their politics. I'm sure its some random Swedish socialist nonsense. But they have at least been wise enough to make it so I haven't discovered their opinions by mistake.
I absolutely broke a coworkers heart the other day when he was talking about going to see them.
I started by calling them rage for the machine leading into a long rant.
When I was done, his eyes were really big and you could tell he had the wind let out of his sails. Then he says yeah, I guess you're right.
I dont think he will be buying those tickests now.
He should have seen it coming, especially since he his a big Astros fan, my old team before I started calling them communist faggots. Dropped them like a bad habit the day they came out with the Oakland A's and put blm shirts on homeplate and the mound, then refused to play.
Read lyrics from 'battle of Los Angeles' pure degenerate commie filth
Which song?
I’m reading this one and they talking about agent orange
https://genius.com/Rage-against-the-machine-sleep-now-in-the-fire-lyrics
The whole album... ? "Deep inside your children, who'll betray you in my name"
You think that's bad?
I was a HARDCORE touring Pearl Jam fan until around 2003
I can't believe I didnt catch on sooner.
Most of us were duped at one point in time. I know I was, too.

As a (mostly now) former metal head...

Why former metal head? Heavy metal is the modern day classical, a wealth of talent there.

Rock on indeed.
Let me rephrase that. It gets a bit much after a couple hours.
Always fun to listen to some banging tracks.

Rage was aimed squarely are "rebellious" teenagers who were the kids of subburban boomers who pulled in six figures.
Also if you like Opeth, you are part way to liking jazz already.
Also have you checked out Corpo-Mente and Igorrr? There are a few years dated now, but some of the most original stuff I've heard in a while.

And I can respect that.
I hope those fuckers see this.
Spam it on their Twitter
Tom Morello still = Douchebag

Most all stick and ball sports are governed by shitbag commies who shill for the machine...
Metallica, Pearl Jam, Foofighters, and this.
Metallica is a hard one to give up...
Rage against; rage against machine. Been doing that since mid 1990’s.
It’s worked so far but we are not out yet!
Everything was not as it seemed. Even Rage. SMH.
Fuck yeah this is great
Anyone tell me who the artist is?
I would buy this shirt.
Found it.
