Metal bands whose music you don't like but whom you respect as artists

[EchoForever]

i guess on a personal level
like you like the bands music, but dont respect what the band stands for

 

[CiG]

How do people not respect bands if they like their music?

Easy. Burzum? NSBM? Super SJW leftist bands?

 

[Satanstoenail]

I don't like Opeth but I respect Mikael Akerfeldt's feelings as a woman and a human.

 

[The Ozzman]

Easy. Burzum? NSBM? Super SJW leftist bands?

Okay but if you like their music you respect them that much

 

[CiG]

No I just like the music, but I don't respect the band.

 

[The Ozzman]

No I just like the music, but I don't respect the band.

No you're not understanding me. You respect them to the point that they made music you like.

 

[CiG]

No you're not understanding me. You respect them to the point that they made music you like.

a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.

 

[EchoForever]

No you're not understanding me. You respect them to the point that they made music you like.

no that doesnt make sense
you can love some tunes a band puts out but disrespect the band members
like "yeah this band puts out some consistently good MUSIC, but the fact that the band supports rapist makes me disrespect them"
theoretical of course

a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.

You played yourself. You respect bands because you have a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.

People don't care about that. There are bands that are racist and people don't care because it's words on a page. Tom Araya has lyrics that can be considered racist but he is not racist and likes the lyrics because they are just 'cool'

 

[EchoForever]

People don't care about that.

thats not true at all, there has to be a lot of people that, for example
love vargs music, hates his national socialist opinions
therefor, likes the music but disrespects the artist

 

[The Ozzman]

Please read what I quoted

 

[EchoForever]

ok you said something about tom araya who, as you said, says racist stuff but isnt a racist
varg is a racist, so his words arent just "on a page"
you dont have a point

 

[The Ozzman]

Prove Varg is a racist

 

[EchoForever]

Prove Varg is a racist

im using "racist" as lot of people would to describe him so i dont convolute my point
he doesnt believe in race relativism and he is extremely proud of his heritage and supports its protection



too many people say thats racist

 

[The Ozzman]

too many people say thats racist

Being proud of your heritage =/= racist

Again, prove he is racist

 

[EchoForever]

no re read what i said
i know that, i was just using the term racist in that regard as a lot of people would so i wouldnt have to get into a discussion like this because it gets convoluted

im very proud of my heritage and get called racist for it a lot

 

[The Ozzman]

You have not proven how Varg is racist.

 

[EchoForever]

holy fucking shit are you retarded
im not trying to prove that he is racist because hes not
i was using the term racist to describe him early because too many people actually believe he is because of his views, and i didnt want to get into a debate about whether or not he was because that wasnt the point of the original argument

varg ISNT a racist, and i dont THINK he is, but since a lot of people think he is i decided to use that as an example earlier

How am I retarded? You are playing yourself. You say Varg is and isn't racist in the same thread.
