Rage on repeat! It's the only song I can seem to handle after talking to my dad...
If you like Rage Against the Machine, I HIGHLY recommend the band Warfare. Founded by drummer/lead singer Paul "Evo" Evans, they're so underrated. Here's their song "This Machine Kills":
So apparently, there's this meme called "pastor freaking out to different breakdowns" where people take various clips of people dancing wildly at church and put a heavy metal song over them. Well, here's my take on that meme, with Judas Priest. NOTE: Video may be blocked in your country due to YouTube's shitty copyright algorithm.
Do not obey in advance, but do not obey at all! "until there are legally enacted rules..." EVEN THEN! Do you think when crossdressing laws were on the books everyone agreed to stop doing it until it was fought in court? when sodomy laws were on the books do you think everyone stopped having sex with their partners until it was fought in court? For everyone who lived in a state a mere 10 years ago who could not legally marry their partners, do you think they accepted that or married elsewhere, protested publicly, and held secret ceremonies anyway?
People love to invoke Stonewall for their #Resistance stance but do you realize that the laws were broken before the first brick/bottle/rock/shoe was even thrown? That cops raided bars because of how people dressed, who they were cozied up to, what they looked like. Our peers and elders have been brutalized by cops for wearing ties or heels and our peers and elders have been brutalized for where they piss.
Do not relent to unjust laws! Do not simply resist when there is a loophole--fight like hell when the law is clear and precise and you know that the law is wrong.
Much of the worst atrocity committed in this country and by this country was "legal" -- that doesn't mean shit. Protect each other, run cover for each other, and do not yield to the law when the Law of the Land says your existence is illegal.
For all you trans people on Tumblr, apparently, the band Scorpions was ahead of their time by singing about trans people in 1977.
So, I was searching around on YouTube recently, and I discovered this awesome forgotten NWOBHM band called Firehammer.
Hey Taylor Swift, fuck you! Metallica had the real Eras Tour last night!
Foxborough represent! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Anyways, let's end tonight on another non-political note. Since today is International Tiger Day, here's Tygers of Pan Tang.
In non-political news, here's a song from the obscure 80s hair metal band Leather Fury.
Check it out! Princess Daisy is a heavy metal singer!
Politics aside, since this is Pride Month, I thought it would be fitting to share one of Queen's hardest-rockin' songs.
OK, enough political reblogs. How 'bout some Queen?
Bone spaghetti. (None because I was not born yet.)
OK, I have NO FUCKIN' CLUE what that's supposed to mean, but here's Metallica's cover of "Am I Evil": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMW0FtvU5iQ
Oh, and just to show how little I care about haters, here's Warfare.
I have literally never heard of any of them, but it's nice that someone is giving trans/genderqueer musicians exposure. Just one question: do any of them do 70s/80s-style rock and metal?
So apparently, Megadeth's "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" started life as a rejected track for Metallica's 1988 album ...And Justice For All.
As any of you who have followed me long enough know, I LOVE rock and metal music. However, I found recently that I can only go to so many concerts per year because 1. Tickets are expensive even for the cheaper seats, and 2. The trip, the traffic and the crowds are pretty overwhelming. It's sad because many of the bands I like are broken up or are about to. Nevertheless, I intend to go to as many shows as I can, and I'm grateful for the bands I have seen.
Hey, anybody out there feel like a little Dio? Because we rock!
