to me it’s engrained within the music. Whatever he says is part of those same feelings expressed musically.
the only difference is it’s more obvious to people not paying attention and you can’t pretend it’s not there
it’s one and the same0 -
Can I please have your STL GA tickets if I guess correctly? -> Recent FBI raid was your tipping point!0

EH58750 said:Sick of the liberal BS. Loved this band since I was 16 years old in ‘91 when they released Ten but now I’m 47 years old with a family to take care of. Love these dude’s music but over being talked down to. Look where their political influences have gotten us. Anyway, I have two tickets to Nashville, very good seats and two to St. Louis (pit). Willing to take offers. No BS.
If you can't put politics aside then the issue is with yourself! I may not agree with everything going on in the world and the stances the band makes on certain things, but i never let that cloud my view of all us fans.

but for the most part, Ed keeps it short and sweet and I'm fine with that, whether I agree or not (and I usually do).By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -

my take besides the fact he is anti gun is he somehow feels obligated to say something as an American because those crowds can’t fathom American gun culture and it’s more a “we aren’t all like this” kind of thing.Living there for many years the number one thing by far a british person would ask me when they found out I was American, was guns.Post edited by Cropduster-80 on0 -

I think a fan for a long time can feel a disconnect. I don’t necessarily agree with the OPs point, but while they champion environmental causes they leave a pretty big carbon footprint. They are rich, which is not their fault, but does create separation from many. Even their cancellations the last few years, again not entirely their choice, have left many who traveled in a tough spot and maybe could have been done differently. I for one don’t like too many political speeches at concerts, unless it’s a vote for change type event. And while I agree with many of their stances, I disagree with some too. Doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the art. A well crafted song that tells a story can be a thing of beauty. And can’t blame the band for getting older, happens to all of us. Hopefully we all grow and evolve a bit and find some peace.

This is my favorite ”look at me” thread on quite some time. OP just needs a hug and a bottle.This show, another show, a show here and a show there.0

EH58750 said:Pearl Jam are not anywhere near the political narcissists that RATM are. PJ touch on many human levels (love, hate, religion, human emotions, flat out love of rock and roll and all of its history). Pretty sure their base ticket isn’t as much as RATM. A little secret for you…I’m not going to see RATM.0

It's 2022. PJ and RATM have been in our lives since the early 90's. Thoughts and prayers for anyone just now realizing these bands are political.___________________________________________

kid rock or Ted Nugent are probably touring if someone wants a different point of view. People always call artists stuff like political narcissists when they disagree with them. It’s just music when they agree though.
not my fault the good bands lean left
