Specifically Marilyn Manson and Kanye West. Am I overthinking this?

    What’s the problem with Pantera? I know almost nothing about them aside from an album plus a few singles

      Phil Anselmo, singer of Pantera, in 2016:

      And seeing that made me feel stupid for never picking up on the white power undertones in their music before. Honestly it’s made me feel something not good about a lot of metal bands in general since, considering that this very year, Metallica, Slayer and Pantera were still happily touring alongside each other as opening acts for Black Sabbath’s 20th final tour.

        Thank you. That’s a shame. I was hoping it was one of the newer members of the band, but nope, he joined in the 80s.

        Him and fans try to play it off as a joke, but it definitely means something when you keep making the same kinds of jokes and not changing after the first time people tell you it’s terrible
