I've been listening to them a bit and kind of digging them.... then I find out their singer appears semi-regularly on a Fox News show. I'm not sure if I can deal with that.

    Metal bands should only appear on Fox news to troll the life out of the place!

    Like Andrew WK! :laugh:

    Anyone hear about Skinny Puppy invoicing the US government because they found out their music was being used for torture at Guantanamo Bay? Not sure if I think that response is weak or awesome; I know Metallica sent a cease and desist when they found out the same.

    Being a a mostly ranging liberal, I find that bands tend to rarely stray much right of center, so its rare that I need to consider whether or not I dislike the political/religious views of the members. Megadeth is the biggest example of a band where I completely disagree with on a personal level, but I still can enjoy their music because Mustaine didn't used to be quite so intolerable until he busted up his arm in the early 2000s.

    Like TMLPatrick, if I find that a band's political leanings are completely opposed to mine, I will happily delete them from my playlist. So far, Megadeth, Ted Nugent and Meatloaf are persona non-grata on my I-Pod.

    While Alice Cooper is a born-again Christian, he tends to keep his private views out of his on-stage performance.

    This is mainly what I ask for, I listen to you for your music, not for your political insight. Even if an artist shares the same political view as mine, I might think it's cool for a second, but mainly I want you to shut the **** up and play the next song.
