What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member? (kbin.social)

My pick is Five Finger Death Punch and the obvious answer is Ivan Moody. The guy radiates that alpha-male wannabe energy and it definitely rings through all of the songs he has written and performed with this band. The guy is just a prick and a self-victimizing asshole.

I think he's the primary reason FFDP is mocked so badly.

Roger Waters put a damper on my enjoyment of Pink Floyd.

[-] PatMustard@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago

Pink Floyd would have been completely different without him though

He is anti hunting, anti poverty, anti malaria, anti Israel, pro veteran, anti fascist, anti chevron, anti brexit and pro Assange.

Which part dampens your enjoyment?

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I fucking LOVE malaria and I ain't letting him take that from me!

The pro Russia part does.

Wikipedia didn't cover Russia in detail so I did some reading.

"The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation was illegal. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms"

"Also, the Russian invasion of Ukraine was not unprovoked, so I also condemn the provocateurs in the strongest possible terms"

He calls Putin a gangster.

I think his opinions are naive. He identifies Western Propaganda but ignores the possibility that Putin is lying.

He seems to be consistently anti war though so I'm not going to burn my Pink Floyd collection ... yet

He's one of those guys who hates America so much that he starts to think anyone who goes up against them must be the good guy (I'm sure nobody on Lemmy could possibly imagine such a situation!), missing the point that lots of people/countries/organisations can all be bad.

He's a complete edgelord and always has been, but that has always been a recipe for great art!

Someone should chuck Assange in a woodchipper and be done with it.

Why? He's just a journalist.
