I heard Skillet live once at a metal show. They were opening for a band I was actually there to see.
I didn’t realize they were a “Christian Metal” band until halfway through, when I turned to my buddy and was like:
Jesus, these guys suck.
And they did. They really did suck. Their music is mediocre at best, and their on stage presence was atrocious. He kept trying to whip the guitar around as some flashy on stage thing; but he smacked himself in the face with the guitar, and then tried to recover by laughing it off, while everyone was cringing.
Just, imagine for a moment, a band full of people, who are trying to imitate a band type that they can’t ever actually become, and it’s like…well, it’s like the Reagan movie that just got released.
So much cringe.
Shouldn’t the human garbage logo be at the top?
Oh, garage
I didn’t even notice it wasn’t garbage until I saw your comment.
Lol I didn’t notice either at first, hence the edit
For a second, I thought that was the most appropriate band possible.
Fact Skillet is on that makes me sad
Used to be (or maybe still is) a “Christian” rock band. MAGA fodder for sure.
Doesn’t take much googling to find out why they’re the biggest name on this poster
CW: Homophobia “SKILLET’s JOHN COOPER Explains Why He Believes ‘Queer Theory’ Is ‘Literally The End Of All Things’”
I didn’t know Russell Brand was a MAGA idiot, besides his long career of being an insufferable prick and probably a sexual predator. Matt Taibbi I only remember as some gonzo-style writer from the Rolling Stone, didn’t know where he stood politically.
He’s a fundie Christian now that he got caught up in a rape scandal.
He’s with Tucker Carlson there, by the way.
Two scumbags, one stage. Somehow the Two Girls video had less shit in it.
Taibbi is the numty Elmo got to writeup the Twitter Files
TIL Rob Schneider went down the MAGA rabbit hole.
A very long time ago. He realized it was the only place he could take his dead career. Sort of like Kevin Sorbo and Christian movies.
And scott baio… The Dilbert dipshit… gina careeno… dean cain… jon voight… james woods… jim bruer… roseanne… kelsey grammar… And I mean, joe rogan is the prototype probably. Then all the washed up sports figures - herscel walker, brett farve, mike ditka and jack nicklaus as some of the poster children. Also a bunch of shitty rappers and that reggaeton lady from Vegas the other day.
Even ben shapiro and michael knowles (both failed Hollywood wannabes getting their revenge).

Yeah, that one hurts the worst. Oh well, fuck him
I used to watch his seasons of SNL back when I was in jr high and even then thought he was meh at best.
Someone posted some of his standup from post-covid and he is just plain insufferable
I loved him in Half Baked, and watched a decent stand up WAY before covid. I’ll just live with those memories and pretend he’s dead
I didn’t know Frasier was one of those also. Fuck em
It looks like we have an answer to the question “what happens when the FBI shuts off the Russian money pipeline to American right-wing grifters?”. Apparently, the answer is that they organize a griftcon.
I thought Jimmy Dore spends all his time posting propaganda to Lemmy.
Why do conservative celebrities suck so bad?
Surely you’re not implying the fact that Jimmy Dore being at this event means he is, in fact, not a lefty?
I have it under good authority that Jimmy Dore is, indeed, a lefty.
And if you can’t trust SatansMaggotyCumFart, who can you trust?
And when their powers combine they become… 💩🤡
In what way is this “event” different from sticking your head in n a public toilet and flushing for the purpose of brushing your teeth?
Someone comes and uses the toilet while you are brushing your teeth and tells you a foreigner did it to you.
While his accomplice picks your pockets.
That doesn’t take very long or cost any money.
well looks like i’m removing skillet from my playlist.
Oh Taibbi. What happened to you. The more hair he lost, the more right wing he became. Sad, really.
I’m not saying that’s the cause, I’m just noting the correlation.
I used to get Rolling Stone back before I owned a smartphone. I loved Matt Taibbi’s stuff. I heard he turned right wing but does anyone know what caused that?
It’s like a reality show with an all bipolar cast
Seeing Lara Logan in these sitches always kinda makes me sad, because it always comes off to me like traumatic response after what happened to her in Egypt.
Ick!
