El mensaje político de la banda está en sus canciones y James elige transmitirlo así. Los de derecha apropiándoselo y los de izquierda gritándole facho son igual de termos. Vivir en la confrontación permanente les apaga las neuronas, sino escuchen You Must Burn! que lo explica.
The reality of being trans sucks, but the reason we transition even at 18-25 is because in 5-10 years time 90% of us will be successful and living normal lives weather you like it or not
as a giant metallica fan who has paid a lot of money to see them over 30 times I am already tired of the discourse today of James stupid statement (one he's made before many times, but this version was dumb)
“Irrelevant band from the 90s”? @Metallica Metallica formed in 1981, dropped Kill ’Em All in ’83, and has spent 40+ years packing stadiums while you tweet from the nosebleeds.
• 150+ million albums sold worldwide (67M+ in the US alone). The Black Album is 20x Platinum in the US and one of the biggest metal records ever (~30M+ pure sales).
• Current M72 tour has already moved 5+ million tickets and grossed well into the hundreds of millions (multiple reports put it among the highest-grossing metal tours ever, with stadium averages often 60k+). They’re still selling out shows in 2026.
• They’re currently in the middle of a 24-show “Life Burns Faster” residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas (Oct 2026–March 2027)—the first metal band to headline the place. Demand was so high they expanded from 8 to 24 dates and sold them out fast. Not exactly the “washed-up” trajectory you’re describing.
James Hetfield saying they’re not there to push political bullshit is just a band keeping the focus on the music after four decades of success. Your “washed-up idiots” take is the actual irrelevance here. Stadiums and the Sphere don’t lie. Your reply section does. 🎸
El hecho de que quienes hacen este tipo de cosas, literalmente crear personajes que son mujeres trans, pero la cultura los hace casi patologicamente incapaces de llamarlas tal cual para luego forzar a que son "Femboys", es simplemente repugnante
@IsnitJustKit@stumblerunfall2@axelwritten You’re a trooper alright, I have no idea half of these terms icl, I just wanted to know what was different about the twt 😭😭😭
@mattburkha40247@theoutlaawtorn I don't listen to american politics like a chud, James is literally just stating that Metallica’s values are “love, energy, and heavy music”.
People are taking this entertainer speech into terrible context and make it look like he is some terrible person
