Here in Australia we have a nice little staying for people like her and I will say this as the polite Australian I am....
Fuck that c*nt and her smiksmok account. The minute metallica came into the spotlight due to stranger tingz it's caused nothing but gate keepers and baby boomers all fighting over the status of our late great Metallica, yes master of puppets slaps, but I don't need to here 1-2-1-3-1-4 Every two seconds 😂
Axl Rose as a source? Has she actually heard the song "One in a Million"? This girl has no clue what she is talking about.
Glad you said this!
No but we do have a right to say she's wrong and have our own thoughts about her just as she has her thoughts about Metallica.
Karma eventually comes full circle. I don't think she should be doxed or anything though I think most of this will likely teach her a lesson, I'll leave it there.
For 40 years: Our parents tried to cancel Metallica, the church tried to cancel Metallica, politicians tried to cancel Metallica, even Dave Mustaine tried to cancel Metallica
I'm sure this kid will accomplish it
Even Metallica fans tried to cancel Metallica
they survived kicking Mustaine's dog, they survived napster debacle, they survived selling out, they survived st anger and Lulu, they're certainly not going to get in trouble now even if James Hetfield comes out as a Nazi if he were one, it's cool to not be woke these days, they'll probably have a resurgence if anything
Tik tok needs to be cancelled for the absolute cringe it produces
I head Axel Rose tries to cancel Metallica and gives tips to these kids :D
@@barkoictolugueneofbairtona2273 actually true 😂
Official petition for Stranger Things 5 to have Cannibal Corpse, this would literally blow her mind!
very supportive
Rammstein for ST 6
I’m in for Steel Panther.
I’m in for Mayhem or Dealer maybe even the CJ era of Lorna Shore
Eddie comes back and plays hammer smashed face
As a history freak I spewed all of the air out of my lungs when she said iron crosses are a hate symbol
Same, almost choked
it’s asinine the confidence people have when talking about the iron cross.. like that one Extra Credits video..
someone enlighten me because as far as I know the iron cross is a nazi symbol
It physically caused me pain lol
She's the epitome of "I don't want peace. I want problems." Well that's what she wants. She got people's attention by inciting cancel culture that she denied and turned off the comments to that particular post.
And then she'll pop up to play the victim, crying about "death threats" she got. It's almost like they're working off a script or something.
she called them all a bunch of Old white guys leaving out the fact that Robert is Latino and Kirk is Filipino but that didn't fit the narrative did it?
Ikr
exactly my thoughts, i kept thinking "wait but Robert is latino, she knows right?"
I mean, it's racist to think they're racist just because they're white
Not just Latino, he's also Native American. Lars isn't even American, dude spent the first 20 years of his life growing up in Denmark lmao.
@@ishouldbestudyingatm Lars is white tho so that’s that
“wait till she finds out about pantera” had me CRYING 💀💀
Forget about Pantera, wait until she finds out about black metal bands like Mayhem and Burzum and Emperor
Wait till they hear "Queen of the Rodeo" by Alice in Chains...
🤣🤣especially when she sees Phil shouting "White power" on stage
@@c4gam1ng12 I would love to see her reaction to black metal and brutal slam death metal 😂
@@c4gam1ng12 She needs to find Burzum, Absurd, Wolfnacht, Peste Noire, Moloth, Hate Forest...
I'm a black Metallica fan. Have been since 1987. Guess how many fucks I give about any of this????
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say not one.
I am an Asian and my Japanese mom and her friends still use the term Oriental to this day. You have to love people getting more offended or screaming racism than the actual supposed victim of racism. People just need to get a fucking life and stop getting triggered by everything.
Yeah. I'm jewish and told nazi jokes to my friends and an AMERICAN TOURIST got mad at me for telling jokes about an event that didn't affect her
Exactly! Great point. That's what I've been saying! People just have to stop getting offended for even the simplest things.
exactly🤣! i was confused by what she referred to by 'o word' until i saw your comment. i'm from south east asia and we still use it. ffs
I'm not Asian or whatever, but if I'm talking about someone from Asia I might say they're East Asian, or South Asian, or Central Asian, or Southeast Asian, or Middle Eastern, and as far as I always knew Oriental was just an old-fashioned synonym for East Asian. I didn't even know it was supposed to be "bad." It's all kind of pointless to argue about anyway, because it's not the word that matters but the intent behind it. Saying "that guy is Hungarian" is totally normal and fine, but saying "that guy is Hungarian" while making a face of disgust and practically spitting the ethnicity is obviously concerning regardless of the specific words used.
The fact that even a mainstream Metal band like Metallica still manages to offend the normies is more validating than you can imagine.
The normies...lmao sure thing meme warrior.
Imagine the shit fest: 90s/early 2000s Marilyn Manson in today’s society
@@yeul__ That would be beautiful to see lol .
Yeah, not so sure about that “normie” thing.
@@BillLaBrie You're right. Anyone who gets offended by Metallica is even below a normie.
Did she seriously say "When the lead singer went to rehab, that's when they took addiction seriously"???? She did all this research, but SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT MASTER OF PUPPETS IS ABOUT?!?!!
I fucking know right
I find it funny that she called them out for making fun of addiction then just shits on him for dealing with his addiction
AND THE SONG IS EVEN IN THE STRANGER THINGS BUT SHE DOESN'T KNOW JACK SHIT ABOUT THE SONG! FUCK MY LIFE THE YOUTH THESE DAYS
The jokes they made about addiction were about their own alcoholism and their nickname alcohollica, then when James had to go to rehab for alcohol addiction, they stopped treating it as a joke
haha yeah, most people don';t take addiction seriously until rehab, it's kind of the point, I was shocked when she said that like.....does she think before she speaks? does she have the ability to see past her initial interpretation of things? self awareness and critical thinking aren't dead, there's always been a severe lack though, they just were rarely handed a free platform that could reach very many people. Normally people who say things like she says were told to shut the F up by enough people BEFORE they ever had a global microphone, but that's not the case anymore
Metallica will never be canceled. In 2016, the album became the first metal album to be added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress, an honor granted to works deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”
Love her casual racism at the end where she describes them a band full of white dudes from the 80s, like that automatically makes them bad.
exactly an she didn't mention ones Latino an ones Asian
She's so ignorant and like most people who are very unhappy and want everyone else to be as miserable as they are, she didn't take even 5 minutes to FIRST research what ethnicity each band member is. 🤔🤦♀️
Typical of these cancel culture types. They just can't stand whites, apparently racism is fine as long as it's against people you think are just some "old white guys" 🙄😝
I must be old school, I thought racism was bad no matter what color skin you were against. 🤷♀️
Not to mention Kirk isn’t white and their current bassist isn’t white
"IsYourFavTiktokerProblematic?"
If Tiktok think they can shut down Metallica then they gonna need better lessons from Napster at this point 😂
It’s a cult they even like high gas prices. If you don’t you’re a right winger lmao. Insert trump out of nowhere they are insane
they need lessons from Lars himself on how to cancel people
😂
The best comment of the year lol
TikTok couldn't cancel Eminem they can't cancel Metallica 🤣
Metallica has been "cancelled" like 15 times and they're still one of the biggest bands on the planet.
Here's why: they don't engage with those trying to "cancel" them, and if they do they usually just say something and move on.
@@JosephSmith-lm4ri Just like they should do.
-1984 - oh, they are writing ballads, what a sell out
-1986 - Cliff died - oh, Metallica is over
-91 - Black album -complete sellout
-96- Cutting their hair - that's a sellout too
-2000s - newsted leaves, st.anger - Oh, they might break up
And now this shit. They really want to cancel the monster which is called Metallica?
metallica will last as long as old generations who grew up listening to them don't disappear, because they are not constrained and brainwashed like new generations full of snowflakes who don't have life and just go on social media searching for attention and pretending everything is offending them while they are wearing clown makeup like this girl :D
@@JosephSmith-lm4ri thats not why. The reason why is that they have nothing to say sorry or be canceled for.
3:44 slight correction, the iron cross was used throughout German history (before, during and after nazi rule) as a symbol/medal to show extreme bravery in wartime. Nowadays it is used as the emblem for the Bundeswehr or the modern German armed forces.
What's funny is she called out Kerry King wearing a rebel flag on his shirt but then again Slayer is one of Ice-T's favorite bands as you know Body Count did a cover of slayer's raining blood, and even Dave Lombardo got out and played drums on one of Body Count's live shows
The iron cross symbolizes bravery in combat and is awarded to US, German and Canadian (known as the "Victoria Cross") military members. The Iron cross has also been in use by multiple armies and militias throughout history. It does not symbolize "nazism" or "racism" at all. In fact the US was using the symbol at the same time as Germany during WW2. About the guy wearing the flag shirt, that is not the confederate flag but I'm not getting into that whole side of history. To sum it up that flag on his shirt was a battle flag used by smaller armies and most notably a variation of the flag was used in the state of Virgina as a battle flag. James doing the "nazi march" was completely done in purpose and was not serious at all in fact it was most likely satirical. The band is also not a bunch of old white dudes as Robert and Kirk are both of foreign descent. Kirk being Fillipino and Robert being Mexican. To sum it up everything she has said to try and smear Metallica was all lies. She just has a problem with metal and old white dudes.
And Lars is Danish hahah
U wrong kiddo... From a german side the Eiserne Kreuz stands nowadays for ths nazis and racism
And it's very much referred to as the Maltese Cross. Literally part of the heritage of the country of Malta.
She has problems with almost every musician on the earth 😂
Sadly, the iron cross is being used as a swastika "stand-in" by a lot of alt-right movements in Europe. Yes, the cross has a lot of other meanings too, but over here it's become more and more of a neonazi icon.
if Napster, St Anger, and for gods sake Lulu didn't get them cancelled, nothing will
Comment of the day
Napster almost did , let’s be honest lol
@@skateorpie I’m no expert on the Napster situation, but from what I heard, I side with lars completely. Imagine you were an artist and got no money for your work, you’d be pissed.
st Anger definitely ended their superstardom (still by far the biggest emtal band 20 years later, not sure if that is a good thing)
St anger is my first Metallica album I heard and lol I really liked it
Those salutes were to mock the nazis, as in the photo on the wall it says Berlin.
The March was during a concert in Moscow, and was also supposed to mock nazis in front of their former Allies, Russia
Actually makes a lot of sense.
All of Europe was their ally at some point. Even Poland was.
Tik Tok needs to be canceled .
"Old white guys from the 80s"
Rob and Kirk:🤦♂️
Kirk used to have pale skin before surfing a lot. I get what you mean because he's half Flipino.
@@irfanazaam9386 pale skin doesnt mean white
@@spunkytheozinho Read my comment above. I said I get it.
Thank god she's on the case!!! They won't get away with this.
Typical metal heads am I right, Finn?
🤣🤣
It's interesting to hear a point of view that isn't either "Cancel everyone" or "No one should face accountability for their actions"
As an eleven year old who loves metal, the younger generation needs to start appreciating this type of music, because it’s going to die out if nobody does.
Metal never dies, my friend.
🤘🤘🤘
I’m eleven too and I love metal like my father and yeah they need to appreciate music
I’m 12 and metal is really art
İm 13 and i also love metal, but believe me, metal will NOT die, my friend. Keep enjoying what you like.
Nah dw metal ain’t going away
Axl Rose actually uses the "N" word in a song. "One in a Million" on the "Lies" ep 🤣 On the skin color thing, the very first lead guitarist for Metallica was Lloyd Grant, a black guy. Also, she calls the band old white guys. Has she seen Kirk, or Robert?
Also, Axl probably wasn’t even there that day. Probably making up excuses as to why he bailed on so many concerts at the last minute.
@@jasonfrancis6464 Axl wouldn't know if he was there lol. They need to see the 30th anniversary of Metallica concert. Lloyd grant shared thr stage with them. Hes black, and was the first lead guitarist Metallica had. He played the solo on the first recording of hit the lights
@@DeweyJHall1 exactly!!
@@jasonfrancis6464 she called kirk and Rob old white guys 🤣
Axl Rose was a huge racist himself
In addition to Rob and Kirk not being “white guys,” everyone forgets about Lloyd Grant
But Lloyd Grant is not in the band, hence white supremacy.
brown, right?
@@johnprovatidis1503 I suppose that would be the response from the cancel crowd. All this aside Lloyd Grant’s leads on Hit the Lights were sick considering they rushed him in and did like two takes
And Lars is from f*cking Denmark too.
@@stevecaststringtheory8691 agreed
I love how a Metallica add popped up in the middle of the video
if you want to play like metallica you have to play with us
Metallica is one of the rare examples of a species known as 'Uncancellable'
😂
You got this one right. She thinks she's finding all the conspiracies. Good luck trying to get the biggest metal band ever cancelled lol
wait til she finds out about black metal
@@warnercatto3305 Oh man. Even black metal lite like Dimmu Borgir. She might ooze her brain out of her nose.
@@warnercatto3305 Burzum
clearly she never heard of GG Alen
My favorite thing about her is that her profile says "Listen to BIPOC voices". What a hilariously racist thing to say. People that claim to be against racism but think that their race makes their voice more important then the voices of people of other races just crack me up.
🤣 this is a laughable attempt to "cancel" Metallica, or anyone. Some people are insufferable.
there were some pretty damning clips tbf, tho plenty were also reaches
She saying they are racist while also assuming they are all white and because they are white they are bad shows how hypocrite she and all the SJWs today are. She judged them on their skin color.
@@deyoloco3110 yeah, if anyone she's racist for judging someone because they're white
@@deyoloco3110 Trujillo is Mexican, isn't he?
@@deyoloco3110 this shows how racism is deeply embedded into these sjw kinds of people. If you are against racism, you don't talk about race at all because it's irrelevant
This is why I love your content.
We know you're old school in the sense that a joke is a joke and you're impartial to something being funny. It comes with the age. Our parents and the stuff they got away with... lol... we got away with half and we watch the next generation get eaten up by society over a simple mistake. It's pathetic. The world can do better.
I love how they're described as "a small local band" when they're literally one of the biggest metal bands in history and are known for the innovating thrash metal back in the 80's
that's the joke
The fact that she tried to bring up the Iron Cross was equally hilarious and infuriating. To be honest it just reeks of ignorance--not stupidity, she just didn't come up with a very informed point. A guitar manufacturer, one of the biggest ones in the world at that, just simply wouldn't allow a hate symbol to be put on one of their guitars THAT IS ACTIVELY BEING SOLD IN STORES AROUND THE WORLD AND REPRESENTS THE COMPANY 🤣🤣
Yea iron cross really has nothing to do with Nazis or racism. It was a German military symbol for much of modern history including when the Nazis were in power, but that's about it. If that's "racist" then so is the US Navy award the Navy Cross.
@@Kanglar The kkk uses the iron cross, meaning it does have something to do with racism.
The Germans used it when the Nazis were in power. The nazis are racist. The iron cross is racist. 1+1=2
@@zyuranger21 The KKK also drink water, you do too don't you?
@@Kanglar to thin ice bro. Or double edge sword, whatever you prefer. Swastika as well wasn’t founded by nazis. You may find variations of it in Buddhism, in Slavic culture, in different places. So I wouldn’t argue with that. But the same time he took this cross from his old bike. Should we cancel Harley Davidson then? Till we have companies, which traded slaves and drugs in the past, but when it became illegal they just make a rebranding... we can not complain about one old metalhead playing on the guitar with iron cross.
Ignorance and stupidity go hand in hand
The iron cross was a medal for the German army and used on military vehicles to this day, for a very long time before that little man with a mustache.
These kids got no idea lol
Ikr
Iron Cross is also used on a rifle qualification badge for marines and has been for a long time. Not to mention West Coast Choppers and etc.
its been around since the nineteenth century at least
also, in Metallica's case, it is a tribute to Lemmy.
As said before the iron cross was adopted by Germany in WW1, which I think was a Keltic symbol fearless in battle. It’s used to this day all over to represent battling an addiction. James has that right as a recovering addict. The context of a lot of this is why they are still around. Whatever song they are performing is about a deep subject most want to shy away from. The one where he was marching across the stage like a nazis , and justice for all was being performed. It’s ashame she didn’t allow her lack of knowledge or the ambition to research inhibit her ability to voice an opinion
I think Corbain would find the blue eye joke funny.
She tried canceling Ice Nine Kills because they weren’t promoting a cause for literally every post or taking every minute of their tour to promote something.
And also because they weren’t deleting comments from awful people commenting on their social media like 10 years ago.
This literally reminds me of my friends who were in a Christian frat in college who were mad at Katy Perry because she wasn’t promoting Jesus at literally every possible chance she got.
I love INK! this dummy really tried to cancel them too??
It’s funny how much social justice warriors have in common with religious zealots but they’re too stupid to realize it lol.
SHE TRIED TO CANCEL INK???
So glad I'm going to an INK concert tomorrow. I'll keep you guys updated.
Back in the 80s nobody gave a shit about this stuff. You could throw a nazi salute and die of laughter because you CLEARLY don't mean it seriously. People have been brainwashed to lose their sense of humour nowadays.
That whole Ice T story was a lie. They literally toured not long after, look it up.
Some context for the salute Jason did on stage. It was at monsters of rock 1991, the one in the Soviet Union. He was mocking the Soviet Union by doing it.
Thats what i was thinking too. thats what i heard and was like bruh
That's fucking hilarious and ballsy 😂
Context always matters, yet social justice goofballs always love to ignore it because it puts holes in their silly narratives.
Remember that Kremlin guards do the goose step march, as well.
That and Am I Evil was the song being played. He and the pose with James and Lars was clearly being done to mock. All of that was completely taken out of context.
i live in germany and the iron cross is still a often used symbol in the military bc it symbolizes bravery and determination its not even a nazi symbol and by saying that it is one she is disrespecting every brave soul who fought in the military having the iron cross on their grave by calling them nazis which is worse than anything metallica has done in the videos/pictures since there are millions of people getting called nazis after fighting for their land and new generations i can tell that she didnt search for context or meanings behind these videos/photos because of that and it makes me mad spreading this all over the internet without knowing what she is talking about
Don't take it too personally, the OK handsign is apparently a white supremacist dogwhistle aswell.
Just pity them, it must be difficult going through life seeing enemies at every corner.
@@omega1231 Bingo. Disrespect is taken, not given. If you know you're better, you don't need these people on your side because they're a hindrance. Let them hate you. Makes them easy to identify.
She probably thinks the Swastika was invented by the Nazi party as well, it has been around for a couple thousand years or so and used by many cultures as a religious symbol.
@@omega1231 the ok sign can be a dogwhistle, it may not always be one but it can be used as one
i could see if maybe we saw SS symbols or Swasticas on their instruments... other than that this PERSON just wants to hear her own voice...
The iron cross was first introduced in 1813, used again in 1870, the in ww1 in 1914, then finally in 1939. Its not a nazi symbol unless it has a swastika in the middle of it.
Your chat was going off.
‘She should cancel St Anger’ was mint.
fun fact, kirk is a filipino. i am a filipino and i don't care if they call me oriental.
@@irfanazaam9386 don't risk your life for the food brotha
in fact, in Romance languages, the word oriental is a completely fine word that means "eastern"
The part I love is how she's trying to "cancel" a band in a genre whose fans don't like cancel culture. Good luck with that 🤣
It’s nice to have goals hahaha. I feel bad for this girl she dug her own grave with this vid.
She did this with Type O Negative too. Peter said some really dumb stuff years ago when he was drugged up and going through a nervous breakdown, not condoning it but he later acknowledged it and I’m sure if he was alive now he wouldn’t say stuff that could upset someone. He just liked to shock people and it was a different time back then. Bringing up shit from 20/30/40 years ago is useless because people grow up and change.
Despite you forcing laughter at your own joke, that crack about Napster at the end was really funny
"nothing else matters is one of the greatest song ever written" and "Metallica is one of the greatest bands in history" is what Elton John had to say about them.
common Elton John W
People like her just WANT there to be problems. For some reason people just like having things to complain about.
People like her don't seek validation from their peers through self-improvement, but by taking down the big bad wolf they've created.
7:25 metallica doesn't hate asians, if they did then kirk Hammett wouldn't be in the band (He's half filipino)
That is Jason Newsted was marching to the start of one of their 'Justice For All' album songs.
As a gen z fan I'm so sorry for this I feel embarrassed and ashamed about my generation. Please don't think all young fans are like this.
as a 15 year old, I'm sorry too
As someone of gen Z it wasn’t me who was bitching so I ain’t a apologising for anything
@@mariapolternest7993 AYYE confidence.
Glad to see there's some gen z kids with common sense❤
Your generation are too soft boy.. Soft. man up. Cheers.
I wish I was sad enough to just sit around and find "problematic" things to virtue signal over. It's fucking pathetic. Truly good people don't have to brag about how good of people they are.
They need to compensate for their lack of control/importance.
Also nothing better to do with their sorry excuse for lives
Sad? I can be sad, everyone can...but who has the fucking time to go through all this shit, make stupid allegations without any context, without any information and then make videos about it. Like...get a fuckin job dickface....
Just the fact that Hetfield doesn't have an IG account shows how much "research" she did.
Lol, well I like to brag sometimes. I have gotten people jealous for it
I want her to listen to garage inc. Especially "so what" and "last caress" then see her get tilted so hard
She said that James Hetfield didn't post a black picture. Bro... James doesn't have social media
The thing about cancel culture is that it prevents individuals from learning from their mistakes and growing.
I think greater than that the idea of "cancel culture" is kinda bunk for everyone but a selected few. If you're an individual or a youtuber or someone whose fanbase follows you for your authenticity, then it can outright kill your career (so many youtubers have been killed by youtube drama). If you have a relatively low but influential position, then yeah, it's a threat. But for all above a certain level (or for those who do something very wrong like your weinstiens and louie CKs), then it's kinda nonsense. JK Rowling is an admitted transphobe and makes no secret of it, and still profits, Phil Anselmo said white power and made his brand being a nazi and pantera still performs, a load of the comedians who claim they "got canceled" got back up on stage then wrote and produced entire shows about how they can't say anything anymore and how "thier freedom to challenge" has been taken away (because yeah I think the people dave chapelle and Ricky Gervais, needed to challenge are the trans ones. Had it too good for too long, I think), and they still have platforms where they complain about not having one while media gives them so much attention.
My point is the bigger they are the harder they are to fall.
Couple things….
Back then people used to mock hitler and the third reich and neo Nazis by making fun of them.
The part where Jason is doing the nazi March is during a song called “am I evil” originally by diamond head. Insinuating that yes nazis are evil.
Also Kerry King is wearing that shirt and not James, they also aren’t best friends or anything they probably met up back stage and got a picture together. Also slayer has a Chilean lead singer and a Cuban drummer. If anything he got that shirt as a gift from Dimebag Darrel. I don’t think Kerry is racist either, slayer tours the world and have fans of all nationalities. The oriental thing, I was oblivious to. Didn’t know that was racist. And the “do you know king fu” bit was old school comedy. Statute of limitation, move on.
The Instagram thing, James doesn’t have an Instagram. How is he going to make a post?
you shouldnt have to support a woke modern leftist movement to prove youre not racist. These people are cult
"Oriental" is hardly racist. It's insensitive because it's "euro-centric" IE "oriental" comes from Latin and means "East", because those are the lands east of Europe and the Romans who started the term. On the one hand, it groups everyone from East Asia together, which is insensitive to their variety in cultures, but no it's absolutely not the same thing as a slur. Only in the crazy world of this decade is it something cancel worthy.
It's really strange to me seeing all these youtubers see the nazi salute picture and immediately going "well yeah that's not okay" because the first thought that crossed my mind was "Oh, ha-ha, they're just screwing around" It was most likely a joke and people are taking the picture literally.
If she thinks that is bad she needs to see some of the cartoons from the WWII era...
Unfortunately most of these people are too stupid to understand comedy and jokes. Comedy is their kryptonite because everything is offensive or some kind of phobic to them lol.
People on TikTok will do anything except see a therapist.
The goose stepping was also during them playing “Am I Evil”.
Newsted doing the nazi march is from their performance of Am I Evil? from Seattle '89. A song specifically about the evils of man, it should go without saying that Newsted thinks the nazis are bad, which is the entire point. I hate Gen Z so much.
Gen Z takes kids these days syndrome and makes it militant, its okay to have ignorant opinions but 15 year olds aren't supposed to be getting 5 million followers and trying to hurt peoples lives, they are supposed to be perfecting their job at McDonalds and getting A grades to go to the college of their choice.
Right? I hate teenagers even being one
I think she would similar misunderstand the jokes in the Fawlty Towers episode: “The Germans.” She only did surface level research and didn’t bother with researching the context of everything she pointed to.
It was actually during the Moscow '91 concert. So yeah, it was in a very mocking and tongue-in-cheek tone, both to the gnatsies and to the commies that ran the Soviet Union (who were still acting like fascists, Russian police beat up a whole lot of people at that concert, because they couldn't understand what freedom looks like)
In all fairness to Gen Z, a lot of them don't think this way. They're usually misrepresented as all being like this, but it's primarily because imbeciles (like this tiktoker) are particularly vocal on social media (which can give the impression that the majority think like this, even though that isn't the case).
The fact that she said they didn’t get serious about drug addiction until James went to rehab, when the very song that was on Stranger Things “Master of Puppets” was made years before that and was an anti drug addiction song…
Gen z, the government, the corporations, and the entire human race has absolutely no right to cancel anything no matter how good or bad.
“They only care about drug addiction when James went into rehab”
MoP: *exists*
Instead of going to her TikTok, I'm just going to say here.... she looked exactly as I expected and said all the dumb things I thought she would.
Her whole being irks me. Lol
......and why everyone doesn't necessarily deserve to have a voice. Let's punish everyone for everything they've ever done. Even if it was 20-30 years ago. Or, get a freaking life and go outside once and awhile and worry about your damn self. You've achieved nothing going after others that have. Get therapy.
Her name made me laugh. Oh sorry that was offensive. sorry not sorry. lol
@@zackyallen2713 her make up made me laugh. This person is literally one of those who fakes psychological disorders on tiktok
they always try to use racism as a excuse to cancel anything
Love the fact that she’s pissed off at them for making racist jokes (not the thing with Ice T), but then she ends the video with “they’re old white men from the 80s so there’s probably more racist stuff” bruh
The walk is from a performance of For Whom The Bell Tolls, which is about the horrors of warfare.
I often find it funny that I got a Metallica ad for Yousician featuring a Metallica song while watching this video
Ice T/Body Count got in a lot of trouble at the time for a controversial song called Copkiller. BC lost a bunch of other gigs and Ice-T lost film and TV roles because of it. Not just this particular tour.
Context definitely lost on that one.
Also using Axl at the height of his Use Your Illusion.ego-mania as a source is straight up laughable.
Axl will throw insults at people just to do it.
Not to mention that Axl threw in the N WORD!!!!!! in One in A Million.
BTW, neither one is raycesszzz!!!!
It’s just like Lars said bro Guns and Rumors 😂
Yup, I remember all of that. Body Count was super polarizing at the time. Ice T is awesome.
The guy that would show up 3 hours late to all of his concerts and literally says the N word in one of his songs… ya super credible source TikTok girl
The fact that there are some people who only know Metallica from Hot Topic shirts and Stranger Things is really, really depressing.
Lloyd Grant played guitar on “Hit the lights “ for the Metal Massacre compilation
How is oriental offensive, holy shit! It literally means "eastern"! Come oooon
And retard just means "slow," but that doesn't mean it's not a slur now, does it?
Metal has always been about being controversial cause it's funny. From Ozzy to Slayer to Cannibal Corpse to Slipknot.
Heretic anthem is too great of a song for most people to be pissed at it.
I guess she had no idea Metallica picked Linkin Park to open from them. The DJ John Hahn is Asian. Or the fact they picked Sevendust to tour with and Lajon Witherspoon is black. Omitted all that though.
Trying to cancel actions from years ago is like trying to hold yourself accountable for stupid shit you did as a child. The important thing is that the sign of good people is the ability to evolve and mature as human beings, so if they don’t continue to do stuff they did 20 years ago, no need to fucking bring it up!
But, you didn't know? Serena clearly knows all of Metallica personally, The "band off all white men from the 80's" including part Philipino Kirk and Mexican Rob. And she has never done anything silly or regretful as far back as 35 years ago
Holding social standards from decades ago to the standards of today, people will ALWAYS lose.
Whats important is looking at their behavior over time. People are dynamic creatures and are always changing.
Dumb jokes made by drunk people, satire taken out of context, and hearsay. If I rolled my eyes any harder, they’d detach and fall out of my fucking head
Please, introduce her to Lemmy and Motorhead... She will scream in crystal generation
Wait until these kids hear about Cannibal Corpse or just about any 90's Death or Black Metal.. They're going to love it!
Oh boy, don't let her hear about Mayhem...
@@evolove3602 Burzum especially
@@evolove3602 haha they're in for a treat.

They will definitely trying to cancel Slayer because of their lyrics, ignoring the fact that the signer is Catholic.
Fuck, I'm from Ukraine and we are trying to survive here and these people who wants to cancel Metallica are just bored from life.
She has an entire SERIES trying to find problems with peoples' favorite things? Metallica is literally the most universally popular metal band in history, and they wouldn't have gotten there if they were in any way racist. Not to mention, there's no way an actual white supremacist or neo-nazi would mock the Hitler 'stache. This girl is either stretching as far as she possibly can, or she's so unintelligent that she can't understand mockery or sarcasm.
And a random video clip of someone saying that she heard SOMEONE ELSE say that THEY heard James say something racist is not evidence. And as far as Axel Rose corroborating it...that means nothing to anyone familiar with Axel lmao.
7:46 you guys remember when kids would do the Chinese Japanese Dirty Knees Look at These gag?
9:19 LARS ISNT EVEN THE FUCKING SINGER!
Interesting that she says Metallica didn't take addiction seriously until James went to rehab when the song that's blown up again from stranger things is literally about how drugs ruin your life. Still sucks that they made fun of someone for their addiction though. But I would like to see her provide something that they did in the last 5-10 years that was "problematic"
thought the same thing 🤦♂️
Well no I'd say that just makes them hypocrites really since the song came out well before the gestures they made towards Layne Staley. It is what it is, I'm not taking sides about it.
@@fromulus I think this insult came more from a place of personal anger than not taking addiction seriously. Both these bands were close personally and Alice in chains had to drop out of that tour with Metallica because of his addiction. Also, James is quoted as having the lyrics to death magnetic be a sort of tribute to Layne. If anything, it looks like growth to me.
Thing is I think that clip she shows very briefly is part of a performance of master of puppets, a song about drugs so the movement of heroin needles into your arm is pretty fitting I’d say
Yea I don't see how it It was a reference to Lane, they were playing Master of Puppets and the gesture was with regards to a line from the song I believe "Needlework the way" though it is hard to tell from the clip.
Edit: so I looked up the actual clip online and yes it was a clip the mid nineties, where they were playing Man in the Box. So yea it likely was a dig at AIC. They had to drop out of the tour due to Layne's drug issues. Keep in mind the members of Metallica were dealing with their own addiction issues at the time, so not and excuse, but still can see how it happens.
This woman has probably seen Stranger Things, thought to herself “this is a band composed of 4 men from the 80s, let’s see what I can dig up on them” and then made a video trying to cancel them for things they done 20-30+ years ago. What sort of thought process is that?
Nah Jason doing that was satire, the song am I evil by diamond head was inspired by a German orchestra music.
The iron cross symbol is also the same emblem of INDEPENDENT TRUCK COMPANY (SKATEBOARD COMPANY FROM THE 70'S
People who think they can cancel Metallica are just mere NPCs who need a job
She complains about racism, but makes a point of pointing out their "whiteness." I mean, Tom Araya and Robert Trujillo???
She canceled herself with stupidity.
You forgot Kirk
lars is danish too
Half of these are dark fucked up humor I do everyday 💀
The music industry was already trying to cancel Metallica since they first debut and they were cancelled during Grammy when Jethro Tull won The Best Metal Performance.
But, Metallica kept getting bigger since then.
I love that you paused on the “neo-Nazi, dog whistle symbols” shook your head and moved on. That really shows how dumb it was, no comments needed.
what's funny is that it IS a nazi dog whistle, but people like to assume everyone else is apolitical just because they are too, and they call anyone that disagrees dumb
newsflash: in the real world, Nazis exist, and most of them have iron cross tattoos, especially the neo-nazis that aren't even german
The iron cross was awarded to soldiers before hitler was even born.
People are just so damned bored nowadays. Guaranteed this girl wouldn't be so smug if she actually had something to struggle through in life instead of sitting around doing nothing but kicking up a fuss on social media.
Gen Z is a failed generation
Ok boomer
@@jisatsushitaidesu8467 I'm literally gen z
She literally talks shit about bands for not using their social media to speak about social issues, let that sink in
@@artyom6167 in her world everyone who isn’t for social justice must be a bad person. Hell she’ll be surprise to learn metal was made to be offensive.
I'm pretty sure they were playing blitzkrieg when they did the salute thingy in the video
2:00 "tilted" huh? That's a poker term -_- you been gambling, boy? Cuz ME TOOOOOOOO
4:43 The song is called "am I evil," maybe Jason Newstead is racist, but im pretty sure that he is calling nazis evil.
Dude shush! That doesn't fit her narrative!
@@IntermezzoR oh crap! im sorry! ill delete it immediately
i actually got mad at her pointing this without aknowledging the song
2018 Metallica literally donated like 20k in every country, to local redcross type organization, they went on their Hardwired tour

1: The Iron Cross Guitar
The iron crosses on Hetfield's guitars are not nazi/neo-nazi symbols. The Iron Cross was first (after the german military) worn by bikers, to instill fear, show how they are 'rejects', etc. It slowly became a part of metal culture as it is very influenced by biker culture. Most likely, James was wearing it as a salute to Lemmy (Motörhead's bassist & singer).
RAWMUSICTV Has a good documentary on it, I reccomend you check it out.
2: Nazi Walk/March & Salutes
To be honest I don't know the backstory behind most of these, as Nik said they might be out of context, it was a different time and generally not a good look and shouldn't have been done
3: Kerry King Photo
Fairly self explanatory, King is the co-lead guitarist and songwriter for Slayer, which is not only a thrash metal band but one of 'The Big 4' of thrash (Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax). Hetfield most likely wanted to take a photo with him because they are both on top of the metal scene, and doesn't make him racist. If you want to get mad at one of them, get mad at Kerry for wearing the confederate flag.
4: Racially Derogatory Slurs/Remarks
Again, don't really know the backstory. As Nik said, "cancel The Office too", as these slurs/remarks weren't viewed as taboo back then, and were (quite sadly) a big part of humor and comedy. Even back then, you can see Kirk seeming off put by James' Kung-Fu joke.
5: Hetfield's Rehab/Drug Addiction Jokes
Obviously they take it more seriously when a close friend goes into Rehab than a megacelebrity they aren't closely attached too.
6: Band Made Of WhIte MeN frOm thE 80S1!!1!!1
Kirk Hammett (Lead Guitarist) is Fillipino, Robert Trujillo (Bassist) Is of Mexican and Native-American descent.
I saw bodycount open up for gnr and metallica in San Diego about 30 years ago
90% of the controversy was based in like the 80's, 90's when this shit was a joke. Times change but when people dig fucking deep it gets kinda sad. Times were different, yeah it wasn't okay but it's different now
Digging stuff from 5 years ago to cancel people is bad enough. This band is 40 years old.
@@barkoictolugueneofbairtona2273 Funny thing is that you can tell that every person doing cancel posts are teens, in 2013 all social media was full of racism, xenophobia and shit because no one took it personally unless they were insulting eachother directly
