He hasn't played that song in forever.
They did at the previous tour. Unless you meant actually singing it himself.

Very brave to do this after the election. :lol:
Didn't know that, I thought he retired the song cuz I'm Christian now blablabla...

@Bono: the point? He's playing the entire first album, which kicks ass! Much better than that semi-recent tour where he played the entire Crimson Idol album.
So, he basically had retired it. Brought it back out for the 40th anniversary tour, but would only sing the verses, and he would have the audience do the chorus. Kind of a weird distinction on his part, because he clearly is still okay with cursing, but whatever.

As far as the Trump stuff goes, it's disappointing and just odd since W.A.S.P. has never really been overtly political, even considering the PMRC stuff. But I'm not going go just throw my W.A.S.P. records in the fire either, I mean, I still listen to Ted Nugent. But if everyone is being real, most of these artists that aren't specifically trying to appeal to younger fans anymore are going to be conservative, because they've got theirs and want to keep it that way. It's just a lot of them don't come out and say it.

I mentioned this before, but him doing that was just so typical of a bullshit Christian.

He refused to do the song for a long time, but then did it, because there was money in it.

However HE didnt want to offend GOD by swearing, so he led all his brothers into temptation, by singing right up to that part, and encouraging others to offend his Lord and Savior.

Yeah the Nuges 1st 3 albums are unfuckwithable. He became a lousy musician long before he became a lousy human being. Derek St. Holmes played a big role in that band's awesomeness too.

It's absolutely idiotic to contend Zep weren't A-listers in the 1970s.

Keep the political bull shit off the stage.

How many of the people cheering this on would be ok if it said Harris instead? Seems like the retards on social media don’t get it, the reason most are annoyed by this is not because it says Trump but because it brought politics on stage where it shouldn’t be.

Alex Skolnick was asked about this on social media, and he basically said the same thing, that even if it was allied with his opinions (and he's VERY progressive), keep it off the stage. People paid to hear music, not some other nonsense.

Trying to get a cabinet position? He is definitely qualified by Trump standards.

Thats what I thought of too!

I wonder why James Cameron chose NOT to hire the 6'3 long haired ugly non-actor to play the evil policeman robot in T2? It's a real head-scratcher that Cameron himself has never addressed.
