Mustaine's chuddishness is tearing me apart, my mother raised me on Megadeth trying to keep me away from what my culture's music actually sounds like. I'd memorized the entire Countdown to Extinction album by the time I was 11. And now this.
meanwhile i got my dad into Megadeth when i was a teen and exploring metal. he was just a generic ACDC 70s rock guy
found out later about what a POS Mustaine was.
all the good politics are in the screamy hardcore-adjacent metal bands. listen to Unearth to get good thrash with a side of hardcore but also good politics
Damn, does Unearth have good politics? I really liked their album The Oncoming Storm when it came out, but never really listened too much to anything after that.
yeah they are green anarchists/socialists. frontman used to spend a lot of time fucking with right wingers and libs on twitter until he decided it was too annoying
their recent albums are waaay more blackpilled though but for good reason with climate change + nuclear war being the main themes
I was a teen when Countdown came out. I basically cut my teeth on Metallica and Megadeth. Was a real shock when the Napster Bad happened and the Internet started making it easier to see these guys views' outside of the MTV/RollingStone filter.
I've never really forgiven them for the anti-Napster bullshit. Their music at the time had become the most boring, safe radio rock too.
The whole thing was just bizarre in retrospect: who's going to be the first to raise a stink about Napster? Maybe one of the mainstream pop artists like Britney Spears or the Backstreet Boys? Nope, it's fucking Metallica, who built their careers around being anti-establishment, and were also rich enough that they didn't need any more money. Incredibly funny that they'd willingly destroy their credibility.
I've never really forgiven them for the anti-Napster bullshit
Same. To this day I refuse to legally listen to any Metallica song. It might be petty but I've been doing it since I was like sixteen so I'm not gonna stop now.
Watch this tho. Someone changed "nothing else matters" to major scale and changed the whole feel. i think it's cool https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oruno-NlJh0
