"We don't want to influence you with bullshit, we just want to influence you with the political messages in our music."
The very idea that their music isn't *already* political and intended to be influential is ludicrous.
Have you actually listened to any of it??
“Metallica is not here like some other entertainers to influence you with their bullshit”
- James Hetfield showing true leadership this weekend! Great to see a musician willing to resist the current thing mob. 🤘
It is not ok in 2026 to not have a position on Israel's genocide, unless you're gonna tell me that it was ok in 1944 to not have a position on Germany's holocaust.

Make no mistake, people defending James Hetfield for refusing to take a stance on Israel's genocide would defend him just the same if he had walked onstage wearing an Israeli flag like a cape.
They'd only complain if it was a Palestinian flag.
@TroyMac113 Sorry pal, but that shit just doesn't cut it anymore.
I mean, imagine saying "I really don't care if the people in a band think the holocaust was justified..."
You DON'T??

I don't have a problem with anyone attacking Trump.
What I have a problem with are people attacking Trump with the overt implication that Democrats would actually be any better.
They wouldn't and won't.
If you're doing that, you're part of the problem.
Y'know what? I'm gonna go ahead and thank *both* US political parties for this shit because they're both complicit, and pretending that one party is any better than the other is just blowing smoke up everybody's ass.
It's the capitalism, stupid!
Hamas - which is a 100% legitimate resistance group protected by international law - is the only thing standing between Israel and the effortless genocide of the Palestinian people.
This is why Israel wants to eliminate them, and why they don't care how many civilians they kill.
