as long as hes not, like, running a weird cannibal sex cult like jared leto or supporting conservatism/hatred/etc, I can at least listen to the old albums without feeling guilty.
Little confused by the second link. It’s not about Draiman, its just one of the band members saying assassinating trump wouldnt do the US any favours (I somewhat agree for different reasons, killing him would have started civil war 2 most likely).
In case you missed it/didn’t think of it, there’s a rather notorious tweet about student loans (unless he deleted it) that rubbed me the wrong way so I’d use that instead personally. He basically said “you took out a loan, pay it back” which ignores all the context for those who got one.
Plus there’s the fact their lyrics in the last album seem very “can’t we all just get along” and tends to trivialise many of the issues in the US right now. It’s this idea of “if we all just talked we’d see we have common ground” bullshit like no one has had a real conversation in the last 25 years cos they’re all on their phones etc.
Go watch The Vengeful One. Not only is the song a banger by itself but the video is more pertinent to current events than ever.

I wonder how they would write this song today, given their front man’s current (1) political (2) leanings (3)
I know… it sucks when your old favorites turn out to be assholes. I was a huge fan of Smashing Pumpkins back in the day.
Thankfully Green Day and The Offspring haven’t let me down.
Man… I used to listen to Lost Prophets a lot in college.
Never again, can never revisit any songs ever.
I’m surprised you could type out the name without vomiting uncontrollably.
You have no idea what my keyboard looks like right now, may have to replace it.
It really is. I’m still not over Morrissey haha
Oh dear god… I am terrified to ask this…but what happened with Smashing Pumpkins?
Nothing, billy corgan was always a prick. Some people are just finding this out now, for unfathomable reasons

Oh good. Its just about Corgan being a fucking loony toon weirdo.
I thought it was going to be something proper horrific like child sex trafficking, cannibalism, or republicanism.
Bad news dude. That article is from 2014. He has further lost his goddamn mind in the last 11 years.
I don’t care about regular everyday insanity.

He got pretty Trumpy at one point. I think someone told him to shut the fuck up.
