“The band Evergreen Terrace announced it would be pulling out of the festival”
Literally who?
Can any metal people tell me if these guys matter?
Not only do these guys not matter, the headliner of this "festival" is a cover band.
So literal whos dropping off of a festival filled with other literal whos.
t. Very tapped in metalhead.
It's an event to raise money for veterans and PTSD recovery efforts.
That's cool...still literal whos playing it.
The point being it's not meant to have a festival lineup for profit. It's a local event.
Designed to make a profit...even if it isn't for the organizers.
Something Rittenhouse has been involved in and shown to be very interested in continuing. With a large amount of his supporters being those very people.
So this is just proof that all these bands were doing it for the crumbs of stagetime and fame, rather than any care for the cause.
Oh good. I wasn't recognizing them, but didn't know if they were up and coming.
It's not metal, it's hardcore and metalcore, no matter how anyone presents the story including the bands or promoters themselves. Even the Simp Rock Palace framed this as 'Four Hardcore Bands Exit'. They might be the biggest hardcore band in the world, but I wouldn't know because I only know metal and they're not a metal band.
The distinction is important because the scenes are very different. 'Hardcore' doesn't mean 'really really hardcore brutal metal' or anything like that, it means hardcore punk. 'Metalcore' means hardcore punk with metal elements. The difference is reflected in the fans. In contrast to metal, where you get a vast plurality of mostly down to earth people, of all ages, for -core bands you get a bunch of commie faggots, mostly. Either very young ones or leftist crusties living in the past, still imagining themselves as college students in Che shirts. The type who probably also still love Rage Against the Machine and think they're subversive.
So with that said, it's BIZARRE that a fest like this would book Rittenhouse. This is the organiser's statement:
The liberal mob? The fans of the bands you booked ARE a liberal mob lmao. It could be one of the hen's tooth right wing punks, setting out to try and reclaim some ideological ground in the scene, or it could be some kind of based organiser deliberately sabotaging things, by doing something he accurately predicted several bands would throw a fit in response to.
So the way this is being reported now, as a kind of 'look how unpopular Rittenhouse is among metallers' story, is fantasy and probably damage control. A bunch of faggot lefty bands in a faggot lefty scene somehow (perhaps as part of a clever trap) found themselves on the same bill as a guy who shot antifa child molesters. And they removed themselves in support of trannifa. It's a non-story or a funny one, but it isn't about metal in the slightest.
Sort of like the faux old folksie bands in Seattle?
I wouldn't have a clue, but my gut says no - hardcore has more of a lineage with NYC, with bands like Agnostic Front. I looked up Evergreen Terrace and they're pretty similar despite being generations apart.
Now someone not into metal might listen to those and think whatever... it's loud and they're shouting, it's metal. Not really though. Metal Archives usually has your back in figuring out what a band is.
yeah i worked with a guy in a grindcore band once. when the communist journos in a metal magazine listed alleged right-wing bands his girlfriend threw away all their cds.
he doesnt talk to me anymore since i pointed out that every single one of those was posting left-wing talking points on their twitters.
most metal is simply pop by redditors repeating the phrase 'metalheads are the most tolerant ppl in the world hurdur'
Do they need to be sanctified by dynamite? Or are they building the war machine?
you may think you are being funny but it's quite sad. when the whole january6th thing went down with the guy from iced-earth they literally had one of their karmawhoring whinethreads with the typical reddit-speak of 'oh my god i hope powerwolf do not secretly have verbotene thoughts, then i'll have to stop listening to yet another band bhuhuhu'.
That is the usual sad. So many like this who thinks for certain they run the markets, but buy nothing.
Sounds like a faggy emo name
Sounds like the street the Simpsons live on. Which I can see some faggy emos doing, particularly those who think spouting memes and pop culture references is a worthy substitute for creativity.
As far as I know, they are most popular among former scene-kids and are just one step above screamo. Hardly the biggest band in the genre.
I read this. Three bands dropped out. It looks they dropped out because they want to remain apolitical.
Uh huh. Do they do the same thing when commie kid fuckers push their shit?
I doubt commies are at an event raising money for veterans and PTSD recovery programs
Inb4 it was going to flop all along and someone came up with the idea to make things political to cover up the impending flop.
I don't think so. The event is for charity.
Only one side is on the train of "this random celebrity appeared at an event, thereby everyone there supports them entirely" and its not the side that Rittenhouse is on.
So by making this statement, they admit to being politically Left anyway.
For the most part, people like him don't have a choice. They will continue to be hunted by Leftists until he is dead, and before that his children will be hunted.
It reminds me of the catholic woman who was a major advocate against gay marriage in the US during the 50's. Her grand daughter is a rabid LGBTQ2SIA+ Lesbian who condemns her.
When the Left decide to make war on you, they make war on your entire bloodline. Elon Musk figured this out when they did the same thing to one of his daughters. Similar thing happened to Trump. They'll make your children kill you and kill themselves. They'll conduct a genocide the slow way if they have to, but they will always do it.
As a result, there's no point in not becoming a political entity to fight back against the Left once they target you as hard as they did. Maybe he shouldn't have affiliated himself with this guy or that guy, but that's effectively just a moot point.
Hell, Grosskerutz is still alive. I promise you that Gauge will probably show up to his Kyle's kid's wedding with a shotgun to try and 'finish the job'.
And keeping in the public spotlight is both figuratively and literally the best defense against this. Because it denies them the ability to isolate, remove income sources, and do all their subtle attacks on a person.
Even without wanting to become a bludgeon against them, its the most effective way to keep them away from you when you know how much they want your blood.
Your last sentence is why as impressive as it was, I don't teach people to try to be as clean as Rittenhouse was when he was forced to defend himself. He should not have stopped shooting until the threat was ended permanently. If forced to deploy lethal force, use lethal force. Mercy for the guilty just allows them to victimize more innocents in the future.
I disagree on that, he did exactly the force needed. He did use lethal force, he had no intention of maiming anyone, it's just what it was.
He left the job undone, which means Grosskreutz will almost certainly go on to victimize someone else in the future.
That's a very difficult thing for any celebrity.
He tried. They drove him out of his school.
As an advocate against governmental viewpoint discrimination, you are going to remain silent because someone was invited who has a political viewpoint of protecting the 2nd amendment, and you are asking others to also remain silent and not contribute.
How the fuck did you math that one out?
Well your other post, which you are correct about, is probably why the bands wanted to drop out.
