The frontman of Eagles of Death Metal, the U.S. rock band that was performing in a Paris theater in 2015 when it was hit by a terrorist attack, has publicly slammed the teens behind last weekends March For Our Lives protest.
Jesse Hughes called the survivors of last months mass shooting at a Parkland, Florida, high school vile abusers of the dead, and claimed they were exploiting the deaths of their fellow students with their demonstrations and media appearances.

There's some unnecessary stupid shit goin' on in some rock 'n' roll circles.

(65,168 posts)As someone who played a few hundred 250 to 500 seat clubs, please don't lump us all together as failures.
Would i have liked to have headlined at the United Center or the Staples Center? Of course, who wouldn't?
I get your meaning apropos this meathead, but all of us don't see that as failure and all of us aren't going to come out in support because he's "one of us" now.

I hoped to imply that his failure should be; "do we really give a shit what this insignificant wingnut has to say"?
Why give this person a voice they shouldn't have?
Why are there 3 threads already on what this guy has to say?
He's adding nothing to advance thoughtful, intelligent debate.
He's adding nothing relevant to the issue at hand.
His statement is nothing but potato chips for the brain.
It's classic trolling. That's all it is. DU should recognize that and be better.
What he thinks has all the impact of a gnat farting. Maybe even less.
