am I the only one who thinks with his weak-ass face that he looks like droopy dog? Google it.

an ass kicking. By those very friends he's talking about....

Whose pal is Jeremiah Wright then?

Just as entire GOP stood by Falwell and Robertson after they said U.S. "probably deserved" 9-11

When did he denounce Wright, minutes after he heard him or 20 years later when it was expedient?

Hypocrisy bothers me.

yeah...sure it does

Do you have something to say? Would you like to know what hypocrisy means?

has ever been recorded as saying? I'm honestly curious.

..................... for killing innocent people"

Horrible, huh?

His remarks about Israel were unfortunate but were about the neocons, not the people in general

YEARS of heat (since you're still whining about it) for that relationship? Did he renounce Wright? Are you expecting that Cruz will have to do anything less than what Pres Obama did? You want to post on a liberal board, be able to back up your abject hypocrisy, cupcake.

You seem to be rather angry. Take a breath.

Are you complaining about degree?

This is like decrying the terrible Koch brothers but Soros gets a pass I know you think you're ever so much smarter than the common rabble but, believe it or not, people notice these things.

And I guess I Should appreciate that you aren't pretending to be anything but what you are. A right winger just stirring shit. You aren't worth my time.

you seem to really be reaching on this. Also worst than the republican extremist in 2008.

therefore all the people there MUST be bad...then why would evil hurt evil? Seems to me (by your own 'logic') they were already 'turned' so your stupid pre-school theory doesn't hold much weight.

They're desert rock, similar to Queens Of The Stone Age.

the Eagles were a death metal band.

Reminds me of the time I argued with an old acid-head who insisted that The Black Crowes were a black metal band.

Thanks for the history lesson, I will have to tell eveyone I know that they are NOT a death metal band and why!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagles_of_Death_Metal

You're right. I was just confusing my own story (the Black Crowes one) with the EODM story.

Thanks for the clarification (still a great story)!

They aren't nearly as good as QOTSA were. Josh Homme has really lowered his standards with this band.

Josh helped start it and performed on the album, but it's Jesse's project. I definitely dig QOTSA more, but "Peace, Love, & Death Metal" and "Death By Sexy" were pretty good albums.

They're okay, kind of fun, kind of interesting, but not something I can listen to over and over like QOTSA.

In 2002/3 while I was in college.

Okay... so this must be a side project. I somehow got the idea Josh Homme quit QOTSA and just started this new band.

Along with The Desert Sessions, this is one of Homme's longest side projects. Jesse Hughes tours with the band, Josh does not as he's busy with QOTSA and Them Crooked Vultures. Josh was not present for the Paris attacks.

It gets harder to keep up with music when you're over 40.

44 here and sometimes I am so lost!

It's FIFTEEN YEARS OLD, can you believe it?!
It never gets old, to me!

Mark Lanegan from the Screaming Trees contributed. Genius.

Lanegan reminds me of a mature Jim Morrison, vocal-wise. And I dig his lyrics, too. Alice Said is probably still one of my favorite songs by them.

They really really don't get ironyor sarcasm.

nt

Al Queda hated those reruns from the 60's

"Cat Scratch Fever" is the work of the devil, and that act of terror was retaliation for Ted pooping his pants to get out of Vietnam.

I mean they are terrible

Allowed to run loose, unmedicated and unsupervised?

Oh, that's right, if you can gibber out "jeeeebus" or "gawwwwwd" you are presumed sane no matter how obviously deranged and demented you might be.

suicide-bombers are the Almighty's little reminder not to listen to heavy metal music! Yes, I know there are people out there who will tell you you should love your neighbor, feed the hungry, heal the sick, and visit prisoners. But if you read your Bible, you'll see it's actually very simple: listen to heavy metal music and boom! suicide bombers appear! So listen to me, me, crazy-ass Colorado mofo Kevin Swanson!"

why I am so ADAMANT about electing WHOEVER the dem is

why I care a lot less about which candidate it is...I am just trying to sound the alarm with everyone

Funny thing is I actually believe Hillary is bad news for us in some important ways, but I just have to live with that

Talk about more irony




From head to toe, the Eagles of Death Metal lead singer is like a neon sign advertising the trappings of American rock. Tight jeans. Bright tattoos. Bold views. Wild hair. Several stints in drug rehab. And above all: sexually charged lyrics.





In many ways, Hughes is a fitting figurehead for American rock. Just last month, Grantland called him “rock’s last wild man.” In an interview laced with references to sex, drugs, religious devotion and Donald Trump, Hughes likened himself to rock ‘n’ roll greats like Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and Prince.

”

Born in South Carolina to a rock ‘n’ roll father and raised in southern California, Hughes now sports a bushy handlebar mustache and a slim, frenetic figure.

But there was a time when he was far from a rock star. Instead, he was an overweight video store manager.





But Hughes also seems to capture, for better or worse, much more of the contradictory American condition. He is highly religious and politically conservative. He loves Donald Trump, believes Barack Obama was not born in America and considers George W. Bush his hero because “a dude who does blow and likes ZZ Top is my kind of motherf—–,” he told Hyden.


Hughes is an ordained minister who preaches fevered sermons online, but has also posed for naked photo shoots with his ex-porn star girlfriend. He describes himself as devout, but goes by the nickname “The D

Nick Alexander, 36, of Britain, manager of U.S. rock band Eagles of Death Metal, who was killed by suspected Islamic State militants as part of the coordinated assault in Paris is seen in this undated photo taken from his personal Facebook site.
“I’m sorry, but I’m going to take full f—– credit right now for f—– the destruction of everything good, OK? Because it’s true,” he told Hyden. “Everything that the Bible thumpers said about Elvis is f—– true. It destroyed everything: Intimacy, the ability for people to be married — society at large is gone. [Pop culture] brought us the Internet, mass pornography, the death porn of Quentin Tarantino. It’s all f—– darkness and evil and has one goal, dude. And it’s not anything good for us. That’s the f—– reality of it, dude.”

Bizarrely, his language sounds similar to that of the gunmen who attacked Hughes and his fans in Paris earlier this month.

Hughes' political leanings seem to be not all that well thought out.

The only reason I see that he would vote republican, at all, is because he loves guns so much. He seems like one of those nuts who is scared Obama will take your guns away, which seems to be his main motivating factor. Dumb.

That guy would fit right in next to that nut case Ted Cruz.

chambers.

Cruz is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs!

they are spending the short time they get each week with crap like this, maybe he should become a politician. I need a pastor who talks to me about religion, to tell me how Jesus loves everyone not how the RW hates everybody.

What did the victims of the Charleston Church shooting do to deserve their fate?

....public restroom or motel sometime in the near future.

While on a meth bender.

Nope, you weren't.
These people are just as much of a bunch of crazy fucks as the terrorists.

sit on it, and rotate! Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaka!

This is why I am so against Christian Fundamentalism because of the abuse I suffered through as a kid in high school. And today I still define myself as a Christian but a progressive one, one who feels that to be a Christian the best way I can be one is by remembering the message of Jesus which is to help others and not judge others.

But this shit like the a-hole in this article. This is so awful. My father passed away when I was a teenager. I grew up in rural PA and the bullies I dealt with were ones that used religion as a way to bully others. I was a kid that loved her rock music at an early age and I had one of these religious fundies dare tell me that my father was rotting in hell because of the music I listened to (nothing radical just stuff like Zeppelin, Queen, Yes, ELO, Pink Floyd, the standard Rock bands folks loved in the late 70s and early 80s). It was a tough time for me in early 80s and I have to say that it was having that music that helped me to find my way through difficult times after my father's death. Turning up the music loud to your favorite tunes helped clear my mind of negative thoughts and help me to think of how I was going to make it through the day without doing something stupid like wanting to end it all.

I am grateful for that music and know that I am a better person today because of it. These assholes, they should hold their heads in shame for the shit they promote in the name of Jesus Christ. It is wrong and it is shameful and it has nothing to do with Christianity. It is pure hate!

I love music but if I dared to say that CCM was terrible (of course this was before CCM became a thing) they would go apeshit, and I got tired, repeatedly of being told how many times i was going to hell if I didn't repent. And no matter how many times I tried to fit in, I just didn't. After 9/11 happened and I saw how ugly things got when assholes like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson came out and said that 9/11 was God unleashing his wrath against America for its' treatment of the LGBT community, I was out entirely. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'd much rather listen to a good rock album than a terrible preacher!

You start off by saying it's 'a sign from God' ... in other words ... YOUR God. The Christian one?

So, you're telling us the Muslim Terrorists ... are actually WORKING on behalf of YOUR God, to kill people? You're ADMITTING ... that the terra-ists ... are Agents of God?

Gee, nice God you got there fella. And it's nice the way you are BASICALLY ... supporting them. Aren't you now?

Oh, but wait ... nevermind you didn't actually mean THAT ... no ... actually, they're working for ... could it be .... SATAN!?!

You're a lunatic, Swanson.

I'm guessing you think that the Eagles of Death Metal ... actually are a Death Metal band, too, don't you?

Does anybody have a link to proof of what this idiot is saying ... that the band was literally in the process of singing a song about the devil at the time they were attacked? Cause I gotta admit if that's true, it's actually pretty dang trippy. Not 'ooooh ... magic sky creatures' trippy, but trippy nonetheless.

Other than - "Because Je-ay-e-esus and 'Merica" - that is just semantics and doesn't really count when looking at the core difference.

What's the difference between what rules his God wants followed to get to "heaven" and what rules the God of the Salaf'ists and Wahhabists wants followed?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Fuck. You.

Please tell me, all of you religious fanatics, exactly why an all-powerful god, who could destroy all of the "Devil Music", and every "Evil Doer" with the stoke of a finger opted to kill innocent men women and children just out to have an evening meal, instead of whacking the "Evil Doers" directly? It seems such an obtuse way to bring his judgment to his people. I'll be patiently waiting your answers.

The mass murderers in the US have been mostly white, so-called christians. Sandy Hook, Columbine, all the colleges, the guy in the movie theater, etc. The only Muslims to kill us were let into the USA by Bush by special fiat when he first took power. He's also the one that said that terrorists weren't a priority and who shut down the hunt (twice) for bin-Laden.

At the soccer game and in the restaurants just collateral damage to the attack on the devil music?

This rant is ignorant beyond belief. Why would anyone want to be seen as in bed with ISIS terrorists as Swanson is here.

All they do is preach a message of hate, rather than love. They are truly a cancer to our modern society.

can't even do the Research any 12 year old child can do to find out that "the Eagle of Death Metal" are not a death metal band and are not even a metal band at all. It's more disgusting that someone running for the office of President can't be bothered to do that same research before going along with the stupid insensitive asshole comments from his buddy. Fuck Cruz, he's a piece of shit right off the old lying shit tree that is his scumbag father.

one minute they are predicting the end of the world and the next they are reading God's mind and then they are telling God what to do. Powers greater than God!! If I were God, I would not want them as followers.

while they were engaging in bible study at a church in Charleston.

What a despicable pig this guy is.

So can his pal as well.

Does Joffrey, er Teddy 7 mountain man hate Elvis? Cuz Elvis "started" this whole rock and roll mess. Time to burn some more records eh?
