I think bands have every right to do what they please but I agree with keeping political views etc out of it. Music should be an escape from that BS.
Metallica frontman James Hetfield took a swipe at artists who use their concerts to lecture audiences about politics during the band's Las Vegas residency.
In what could easily be seen as a dig at the likes of Macklemore, Hetfield told the crowd:
"Unless you live in Vegas, you've come a long way to spend some time with Metallica. We're grateful for that. Your travels, the money you spend, the time it took, thanks for coming to celebrate with us.
And I just gotta say, Metallica is not here, like some other entertainers, to influence you with their bullshit. We are here to forget about all the outside shit. Metallica's agenda is love, energy and heavy music, baby!"
Hetfield has rarely spoken openly about his politics, but past interviews suggest he holds many conservative values.
On Joe Rogan's podcast in 2016, he explained how he'd moved his family away from the San Francisco Bay Area, having grown tired of what he saw as its political intolerance and elitism.
As a Metallica fan, this is incredibly based! 🤘

I find it hilarious that everyone is surprised that the person you vote for isn't actually doing what they told you they were going to do.
Its not like this doesnt happen every single election cycle or anything. The billionaires are in control!
Are you getting it now?

You can tell the majority of these people losing their mind over this never played football before. Remember when Bill Cowher used to grab players by the face mask? Or when our gradeschool coach used to walk on our bellies while we layed down and held our legs up in the air?!
