Metallica is not here like some other entertainers to influence you with their bullshit, okay? We're here to forget about all the outside shit, okay? Metallica's agenda is love, energy, and heavy music, baby!

Okay, yeah, so we have reached the full dumbening of Metallica here. Wonderful. Look, I know artists coming on stage and saying or not saying something political has become a kind of controversial topic as of late, but don't come on stage and bullshit me.

Because you actually are bullshitting me, even if you think you're coming up here and pushing no agenda whatsoever. Because you're gonna stand up here and say this crap and then immediately transition into having yourself superimposed over the rows of crosses on the fucking front cover to Master of Puppets. For anybody who needs reminding, they're on the front cover because this band, this same band, used to write music about how the military-industrial complex just runs soldiers through the grinder for no reason whatsoever, but then is gonna turn around and act like other artists, today, newer artists, having something to say – that's lame now.
