And a far right politician, if I'm not mistaken.
180 from cool to uncool
Sadly, you are correct.
Yeah, metalheads are mostly rad, but there are some exceptions for sure
Ugh, that's too bad.
And a Margaret Thatcher admirer.
🤮 - Tramp the dirt down.
Good for her. How is she as an actual public servant? Drumming is irrelevant to her job.
Highly conservative, but not absolutely psychotic like the ones in North America or so I'm told.
She admires Margaret Thatcher, but does not appear to be brazenly corrupt. Time will tell.
I mean idolizing thatcher is a bad start in any case.
Not good for her. Because she’s a far-right asshole.
Heavy Metal Drummer?
real heavy metal or baby metal?
Gatekeeping has no place in metal
The whole fuckin point of metal is to be unapologetically anti authority
🤘🔥🤘
is that actually her? because hilarious and its not sound of their songs but im betting baby then.
Sorry, not the politician -- it's Su-Metal from the band BABYMETAL. The musicians that back them up are legit metal gods, even if overall it's "kawaii metal."
Here's a recent single from them, where they collaborated with Slaughter to Prevail.
BABYMETAL are kind of cool, but not really my thing. I agree the band is really good.
Here's BABYMETAL and Electric Callboy (from Germany) together. Love this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDnIEWyVIlE
Gimmie the chocolate!

What, why did you go there? Is that a thing with drummers?
