Music

Someone is suddenly uncomfortable with his level of complicity.

I'm sure the Palestinians killed by his autograph feel much better now.

Fucking piece of shit.

So frustrating when someone with an admirable skill is a moral pariah. The guy has genuinely studio perfect vocal compression. Every metal vocalist knows it. You don't need to like disturbed to hear it.

Joins the ranks of R Kelly and Kanye, Tim Lambesis, P Diddy, Ian Watkins, etc.

May AI bastardize their catalogues 🙏

This asshole got booed at the last Ozzy show.

Disturbed are still around? Well, I'll continue nor buying their stuff, I guess

This is the guy that wanted the dead children to come to his concert, right? You're never going to get anything approaching a straight answer from this asshole.

Funny how compassion always seems to manifest if your pocketbook might get hurt

"Compassion bombs"

Fuck Draiman, and good that this article is calling him out.

But at the same time, it's in itself still both sides-ing a genocide and was a somewhat infuriating read.

Fuck him for this.

Very very much smaller stakes here, but also fuck him for naming his shit band "Device" when Device was already an incredible (if obscure) 80s hair metal band, which included Holly Knight (who wrote Love Is A Battlefield among other songs).

Amusingly the music video for Device (the good one)'s "Who Says" (youtube link here, and I highly recommend at least listening to the song if not also watching the video, it's a BANGER) has a comment from Holly herself from ten years ago throwing shade at this shithead for taking the band name anyways after he asked her for it and she said no.

As someone who spent his 20's working in the music industry, I think it's important to underline that success or talent for a person in music has literally nothing to do with that person's intelligence.

Doesn't mean they can't be smart, but it's far more likely than people think that the musicians you love are kinda dumb as fuck.

I think that lack of self analysis/awareness frees up the capacity to convey raw emotion or something...

Seldom I wished so much for an ordinance accident.

I have compassion for anyone who has ever paid to see one of his shows.

I'm sorry he did what?

Had he done this a day after that Hamas attack, I could have understood that behavior, somewhat at least.

A genocide later, you can't claim anything anymore, you are a genocide supporter, David.

I knew he was a piece of shit when he ruined Simon & Garfunkel.

Grabbing the fuse seems to track.

Who?
