tetsuodaironman Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Yes, my last show with them was fogged the fuck out. And the guitars were so damn loud that you couldn't hear the vocals at all. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect to like or agree with every music artist I listen to. Phobes and fascists are generally the lines I draw. Ironic, considering your screen name.

The armbands were clearly Nazi inspired. The original cover of the "Lexicon Devil" literally had Hitler on it. It seems a bit over the line that you draw at fascists, yet you're into it enough to name yourself after them. It's ironic. jrodan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetsuodaironman Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Sure Crash said he supported fascism, but part of him was aping Bowie’s comment on it in an interview and do we actually know if he was being anything but ironic???

jhulud Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 As tempting as it’s been, I’m going to wait til the vinyl arrives to listen. So far though, everyone’s posts about it are making it hard to resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the extent to which he used fascist imagery, I think it's reasonable to assume he was not being ironic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a bit over the line that you draw at fascists, yet you're into it enough to name yourself after them. It's ironic. He definitely flirted with fascist imagery. I think that's different than actually being a fascist. Darby was an insane kid who was interested in many idealogies, while trying to forge his own artistic identity, but I've never read anything that made me think he was a Nazi. When he came back from England he had his hair in a mohawk because he got so into Adam and the Ants. Either way, like I already said, we all decide our own tolerances. I'm not expecting all artists I like to be great people. I still love the Misfits and Danzig is a little dick. Being a metal fan, I struggle with that all of the time. Either way, I don't give a fuck. Like what you like. I wasn't, way back in the thread, trying to convince anyone to not like Whirr. I just almost bought it and then remembered that I only liked Distressor and then I remembered about the bullshit that went down. Move on.

IG88 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 a little disappointed to have missed the opportunity to purchase, but that's the way things go these days. i'm glad most folks have welcomed them back (the speed the lp sold out seems evidence enough) after their self-induced fiasco, i figured they would've remained on nearly everyone else's shit-list forever. i certainly won't be paying flipper prices for FLY, but hopefully the band sees the benefit in doing another press or a cassette version. there's really no point to this post, i don't know what i'm doing here.

I wouldn't call the cartoon on the back an "antifascist cartoon", it's just a caricature of the Axis leaders of World War II. And maybe? Vrooooooooom...
