Other news outlets have elected to couch coverage of the incident in conciliatory language, talking about what Anselmo “appears to” have said, and “appears to” have done, as if, perhaps, we cannot be trusted to verify the evidence presented before our eyes and ears. Let’s be clear: on the evening of January 22 one of the most respected and iconic vocalists in our world stood onstage in Los Angeles and delivered a Nazi salute and shouted a white supremacist slogan. Those are the cold, hard facts, let’s not pretend otherwise.

Huge respect to this writer. If only major news outlets had the courage to speak the truth like them.

Was about to send this to our editor but this article was written in 2016.

I just saw them live for the first time in my life, and it was an excellent concert. Now it feels tainted, I didn't know.

No, not all, cuz fuck that dude. You getting angry at it now means you're missing the things happening now that you should be angry about.

I love megadeth and pantera. It sucks that those artists have sich disgusting contemptible views. I went to a lamb of god/megadeth concert a couple years back and had to sit through mustaines bullshit right wing ramblings but i made sure to loudly yell out “free palestine” during a breif moment of silence.

Mustaine is full on conservative, but he hasn't pulled any of this white power bullshit has he?

It wasn't Pantera themselves that made me suspicious at first, but their most fervent fans always seemed far too invested in the Confederate flag to make me feel comfortable

Probably. Never been a huge fan of their music so I have not watched any concert or anything, aside from like 10+ years ago when I was trying to better understand my musical tastes, and I remember the vibes felt off.

I got into White Zombie last year and it's nice because it's a lot like 90s Pantera but without the racism.

I get why people are bringing this up again due to the situation in the US. But this article is from 2016.

This is the 2nd post I've seen about this on the front page of all. Obviously the dude is a piece of shit, but is there a reason this is being brought up now? Other than Trump's inner circle going full Nazi I mean?

7

Exactly, this is what I wanted to have my post reflect. As far as I know, there's no other reason. Regardless fuck Trump and his inner circle, and Pantera (although RIP in peace, Dime bag).

5

Because all this god forsaken platform talks about is nazi bullshit. They're obsessed with it more than actual nazis (and I mean the real ones. Not the "people I don't like are nazis" kind).

Speaks about your taste in music /s Jokes aside: Between an asshole and a nazi is a huge gap.

Ignorance is bliss. I was a big Iced Earth fan about 20 years ago (basically until Glorious Burden came out). At the time it was "Barlow left, new album is jingoistic tripe, bye." Barely gave them a thought until I read that Schaffer got locked up for not just participating in the 1/6 insurrection, but he was a founding member of the Oath Keepers to boot. He's out now on pardon of course. But I can't really listen to IE or Demons and Wizards anymore.

People really in here talking about how they ain't listening to pantera anymore as if dimebag darrel didn't exist.
