Covidiots in music

zero surprise that steve harris may have these views.

I walk past this farm fairly often. It's a 'pick British' farm, natch.

I think the guys from At The Drive-In and the Mara Volta are covidiots, their other band is called… Antemasque (anti-mask).

Yeah, but "ante" means "before". And the band predates the pandemic. So in the spirit of holiday generosity I'm gonna assume you're joking.

pretty safe bet it's a joke, lol

Anton Corbijn posted a statement on his Instagram account in support of Djokovic and individual rights over vaccine mandates and everything fell into a depressingly predictable fight before Corbijn turned off comments with a "I never said I was anti-vax, some of my best friends were covid victims."

What a load of shit, ignoring that Djokovic found out he was infected, then went out in public and did press meetings and shit without ever wearing a mask or even bothering to tell anyone.

Clapton

Yeah, I'm a huge Corbijn fan, and when that post came up in my feed yesterday I had to do a double-take.

this is a horrible story:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/19/czech-folk-singer-hana-horka-dies-after-deliberately-contracting-covid

I posted it in the Rolling COVID-19 Notably Infected and/or Fallen Thread (I thought posting it on this thread might be a bit on the cruel side *gulp*)

It's pretty fucking sad. I'm not posting it here for laughs btw, more out of exasperation that we're still seeing this shit happen on a regular basis after almost two years of covid

Yeah, it is really sad. This is what I posted in the other thread:

Reading that just made me incredibly sad for her son. Imagine how painful that would be to watch the entire process play out in front of your eyes with the predictable tragic result.

Alas, it would seem Meat Loaf likely belongs in here:

https://www.tmz.com/2022/01/21/meat-loaf-dead-dies-singer/

The singer's manager, Michael Greene, confirmed Meat Loaf died Thursday night. Sources with knowledge tell TMZ ... he was supposed to attend a business dinner earlier this week for a show he's working on -- "I'd Do Anything for Love" -- but the dinner was canceled because he became seriously ill with COVID. Sources tell us that his condition quickly became critical.

Our sources say Meat Loaf has been outspoken about COVID, railing with folks in Australia recently about vaccine mandates. We do not know if he was vaccinated.

Don't do drugs kids

It sounds like Danny Rampling will be turning up to vaccine centre soon with an expired crime number and a load legalese word salad with the way he’s getting worked up about his sovereignty pic.twitter.com/EELJDe4DpC

back in the day even close friends of his used to call himn danny dumpling as he is such an idiot.

Boy we have a ne plus ultra here

Guitarist ‘Big Merv' Shields of notorious #Nazi band #Screwdriver, instrumental in the notorious Blood and Honour neo-Nazi music network, had died from #Covid.

He was unvaccinated and called Covid a ‘Leftie Jewish Plot.’ pic.twitter.com/kSFLWfv04Q

so happy he's dead

Critical support for comrade rona

Pretty good plot

that's like the modern day version of a dickens villain getting his comeuppance. i mean wow, i can't even laugh. that's fucking poetry.

I appreciate that this guy is dead

Rona is just practicing for the Clapton kill shot.

clapton trending again on UK twitter for even more stupid reasons than before. more like Slowbrain yeh.

I appreciate that this guy is dead

It's what we call "addition by subtraction."

i mean if i had to guess which major american 80s hardcore scene was going to produce the most prominent anti-vaxxers, boston would be near if not at the top of the list https://t.co/ekjqOOavVQ

fwiw Choke (Slapshot/Negative FX/Last Rights) isn't a covidiot, which is in some ways surprising

i wonder how Agnostic Front feel

I think I remember reading that Vinnie Stigma is anti-vax. Roger Miret's been in and out of the hospital a lot in recent years with multiple cancer surgeries, so I'm pretty sure he's been shot up just due to the immunity risks of cancer treatment.

xpost

They could go either way

lol

i wonder how Agnostic Front feel

I wonder this more often than I care to admit

this is going to make for a sad epilogue in the DB story pic.twitter.com/69JJJCSily

It really isn't though, wtf has Woody Woodmansy got to do with DB's lasting legacy in 2022 other than paying his mortgage.

The dude who writes books about David Bowie is probably thinking of an epilogue in a different context to you.

If the band is open to anyone who toured behind Bowie, at least they have great alternatives. Woody's great too, but Bowie's had drummers who were even better in later tours. (Sterling Campbell for one - he played on Bowie's last tour.)

This is how Andrew Lloyd Webber ended his speech at Cinderella last night:
"Does anyone know what Omicron and Delta are an anagram of?"
Audience: ...
ALW: "Media control"
Audience: *silence*

— All That Dazzles (@ATDazzles) February 4, 2022

watching the clip, the audience was far from silent

Excited for what this means for future Paul F. Tompkins ALW impersonations.

is he still doing ALW?

He did DSALW on CBB with Aisling Bea in November, and at a live show two weeks earlier

There's no "s" in Omicron or Delta, so why would anyone guess "silence"? That audience is dumb.

Also: "climate donor", "condom retail", "clarinet doom" and "erotic almond". Makes you think.

Well I mean

Bravo.

Disappointing

Surely Joe Rogan did all he can {& I'm not a fan }. He's apologised, said in future he will get guests on with counter views, whenever a guest has a controversial opinion. When did the main stream media {who've been wrong about plenty over the last couple of years} apologise? https://t.co/gjXdgP6X5o
