Thankfully, despite being a metal fan, I’ve never listened to enough Metallica for that song to get stuck in my head, and I probably never will. Fuck Metallica for supporting DMCA. I’ve heard they’ve been kinda coming around on it, but what a dick move. The way it’s set up tends to be ineffective or damaging to small artists.
Hell, what’s up with the big thrash metal bands? Like, Metallica helped get DMCA passed. Megadeth has Dave Mustane, a racist, homophobic, conspiracy-theorist and born-again Christian frontman. Slayer has an supposedly rabidly antitheist frontman. Anthrax is the only one where I don’t recall reading anything recent (within the last 10yrs or so) about the band members being shitty people.
What’s wrong with antitheist? I had to look it up and I think it sounded not unreasonable. But maybe there’s something more to it that I’m missing. Here’s the info I read, which seemed like an even handed description: https://www.learnreligions.com/atheism-and-anti-theism-248322

The idea of a Christian playing in a band like Megadeth is pretty funny though.
Try not to look too much into Mayhem’s history…
Isn’t Tom Araya a practicing Catholic?
