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.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did they stop being Nazis after 2016?

He apologized, but....

Only because he was called out directly.

I always loved how Robb Flynn called him out on it

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 42 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Huh... I had no idea. Time to update my playlists and remove this moron.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Cowboys From Hell is one of my favorite albums... Bummer.

[–] Alterforlett@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How did Zack Wylde do in place of Dimebag?

[–] Alterforlett@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Zack was brilliant

As someone who occasionally goes to lunch at panera it def fits the demographic.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

as someone who plays terraria I think the plantera music is quite good


the boss fight is one of my favorites too

Only if you have the vine hook. Fuckers a dick.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

welp time to remove some songs from my playlist

[–] _wizard@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Article was written in 2016.

[–] _wizard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

well, better late than sorry

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

aaand done. good bye forever

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Huh. Pantera has always felt "off" to me. Now I know why

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

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

[–] raoulduke85@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wasn’t all the rebel flags they had?

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] exploitedamerican@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I like their beef and arugula sandwich.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Broccoli Cheddar breadbowl for me.

[–] drthunder@midwest.social 13 points 1 month ago

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

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Fuck Phil.

Dimebag was no nazi and neither is Vinny.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dimebag at least was a racist piece of shit

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

"I can excuse racism, but nazis take it too far."

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Well shit. In some sense, not surprised. But also sucks.

[–] raoulduke85@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Maybe behind closed doors.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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?

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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).

[–] PlainSimpleGarak -1 points 1 month ago

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).

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago
[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This thread is a prime example of why I don't research artists whos music I like. If I purged everything from my library that was made by assholes, I wouldn't have any music left.

[–] Harald_im_Netz@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

in my defense, I'm from oklahoma

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

How will this affect the future of Terraria

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The audience after he siegs his heil

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

"Why do racists like Panera Brea- ohhhhh."
