I feel like so often I’m more disappointed than happy to find out more about artists I like. Personally, Peggy working with Kanye, Yung Lean recently hanging out with Kanye - that stuff was shitty to see
Who are some artists who are based that you appreciate?
Being a heavy metal fan is always a fun game of “is this a nazi band?”
On that note, Avenged Sevenfold hasn’t kneecapped me (too much) yet.
Yeah I did not expect Avenged Sevenfold of all people to still be out there without having publicly done or said anything egregious. Not like I have any specific suspicions about them, it’s just that they seem like they should have gone the way of Trapt.
Losing the Rev really illustrated how buttrock the rest of the pieces of their formula was imo
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I still like their stuff but they have some issues. They were doing some NFT stuff/ETH stuff, part of their self-titled was recorded on a confederate flag guitar (meant to be a tribute to Dimebag but still), and of course their Call of Duty tie-ins running cover for what is essentially military propaganda.
That all being said, Syn can still fuckin shred
I think you laid out exactly why I’m always wary, like they’re a hop-skip-jump from becoming yet another chud band. But they haven’t yet, so I can give them that credit.
I think they’re too weird to get into the chud scene. Five Finger Death Punch is essentially what they could have become, but I think their weirdness pushes chuds away a little.
