Israel pays artist big shekels to come to tjeir country it makes it seem good

They performed in the US as well does that mean they supported the Iraq War?

yes

...

...

So a musician born in the usa is a supporter of american imperialism no matter what if he performs in the usa? Literaly sjw retard tier

israelis have far more agency than say saudis.
they have a neofascist for leader out of choice.

It checks out.

American's have had multiple imperialistic leaders whom they also "chose" which carried out murderous wars. I blame the system not the so called illusion of choice.

Unironically a great musician, crazy faggot that got cuccd by louis cachet but de miiyiyysteriyys is one of the few real 2nd wave eternal classics

Americans love their system. They go around bombing other countries to impose their superior system on others. They think the constitution is the high point of human achievement. They are scum who need to be cleansed.

Cornelius Cardew

Blaze in the Northern Sky > all, though

Electioneering and Fitter Happier are left as fuck

Fuck I can't delete one of my duplicate posts, sorry about that

The guy in the pics is Euronymous, not Varg.

...

Dunno I always preferred TH to A blaze, I like death metal a lot but I never really got the hybrid they did on that album. Good but not a pinnacle imho

The guy in the pics is Euronymous, not Varg.

Also,

Also, Nono and Henze were full-on marxists, John Cage was an anarchist For such an elitist genre, "modern" classical seems to have a fair amount of leftists.

picture is mfw Lachenmann and Gudrun Ensslin new each other as kids

John Maus is alt-right, Huffington post told me so, and it's real news.

...

What are you talking about

Les Rallizes Dénudés were tankie supporters of the Japanese Red Army and weren't afraid of anything.

Da fuck? Next you guys gonna say you listen to martial industrial shit.

Daily reminder that Varg has said Nazis are faggots, Communism is superior to capitalism, and even that the left is vastly superior to the right.

When did he say that?

Sorry I don't listen to pleb shit like black metal. Also Varg is just a crypto-nazbol.

More cool lefties:
This Heat
23 Skidoo
GY!BE
Catherine Ribeiro
Amon Düül II

...

He has had three or four videos in which he has said it subtlety, but one of his more recent ones he outright says it, then fights with his fans in the comments. Will try to find it

Fucking awesome

Absolutely scorching hot takes from TheAmaz1ngPizza

This.

louis cachet is varg so I think he knows that. Unless he's implying that varg somehow cucked himself when he killed Euronymous.

Lou Reed isn't a lefty I don't think but much of his work dealt with the brutality of late capitalism and the profound alienation of young people. He had an aesthetic eye for the destruction and misery around him but never celebrated it.

What a fucking shame to have a stain like that on your legacy.

Phil Ochs forever and always
This is the first song by him that I had heard: m.youtube.com/watch?v=WbSTnuXv_3Y
Probably the greatest American of all time

I actually liked Lulu but I will make no serious attempt to defend it. It's Lou doing spoken word over a deliberately caustic background, not really meant to be good music. Thing is Lou has done weirder shit in the past, his career has always been really spotty, I get why Metallica fans were baffled and angry but not if you're used to Lou's work.

Gil Scott Heron was pretty lefty

Lou Reed probably didn't give a shit by that point and was just trolling people. Just like he did with Metal Machine Music.

The Lonesome Crowded West has quite a few leftist themes, like capitalism destroying the environment and reducing our lives to buying products and selling our labor. I wouldn't call Modest Mouse leftist, but if you're really feeling that capitalist depression, TLCW is a great listen.

Gil Scott Heron is that boy

Why socialist countries don't have good popular music? The only ones I can think of rn are Buena Vista Social Club, Ibrahim Ferrer, and other Afro-Cuban music.

Comrade until the end.

What did he mean by this

Obviously he was a fascist himself!

Pink Fairies
Pink Floyd
Angelic Upstarts
Discharge
Housemartins
Robert Wyatt (yeah, I mentioned him again)
Leonard Cohen (maybe?)
The United States of America
The Future of the Left

Were they?

wait. ub40 ? how the fuck are they LEFTIST?

I mean, shit, i LOVE them, but i had never thought they would be.

I really doubt he's a full on lefty but i think ministry is amazing for lyrics and themes.

al jorgensen loves taking the piss out of right wing politicians and i have never seen him talk positively of the democrats ever, so for me he's a pretty good dude

in general, a lot of industrial and original electronic may not be leftist as far as this boards standards are concerned, but i think groups like front 242, skinny puppy, front line assembly, and even the prodigy have leftist themes in their tunes because early rave culture was very much at odds with UK policing (and still is to a degree, for those kids that still partake in the illegality of it) and a lot of industrial dealt with late capitalist alienation and also very dystopian themes.

How could i forget my boy Neil Young.

They did a whole trilogy of albums about how George Bush sucked so maybe that counts.

Lemmy self-identified as an anarchist but i have no idea how serious he was about that.

he was pretty pro-Israel unfortunately.

I always saw Cat Food as a critique of capitalism. Epitaph was about the foolishness of the ruling class and how they own all the means to destroy the world. Though I guess you can argue any antiwar musician would be /ourguys/ if that counts, but shit, I'm counting Crimson.

Lemmy regularly called himself an anarchist and of course wrote more than a few songs that amount to "fuck the rich!", but I'm not sure if he was an anarchist in the actual political sense with theory and shit or in the "Anarchy = Fuck yeah, no rules, no government!" sense.

Here's the latest interview with Wyatt in which he talks about his politics too if I recall correctly: rt.com/shows/sputnik/232059-ukraine-ceasefire-british-music/

starts around 14:20

from wiki: manu chao is a French-born musician of Spanish origin. He sings in French, Spanish, English, Italian, Arabic, Catalan, Galician, Portuguese and occasionally in other languages.

Don Quijote Marijuana by Brujeria is only one I like. The song + video is really something.

Deltron 3030
An awesome album, highly recommended.
From wiki: The group's debut album Deltron 3030, released on October 17, 2000, is a concept album set in the year 3030 that tells of the fight by Deltron Zero (Del's alter ego) against huge corporations that rule the universe.

Virus
youtube.com/watch?v=FrEdbKwivCI

Excerpt of lyrics, confirmed an-prim:
I want to devise a virus
To bring dire straits to your environment
Crush your corporations with a mild touch
Trash your whole computer system and revert you to papyrus
I want to make a super virus
Strong enough to cause blackouts in every single metropolis
'cause they don't want to unify us
So fuck it total anarchy
Can't nobody stop us
You see late in the evening
Fucked up on my computer and my mind starts roaming
I create like a heathen
The first cycles of this virus I can send through a modem
Infiltration hits your station
No microsoft or enhanced dos will impede
Society thinks their safe when
Bingo! harddrive crashes from the rendering
a lot of hackers tryed virus's before
Vaporize your text like so much white out

Looked at the pic and first I thought that was Corbyn. I'm not totally convinced Tchaikovsky was /ourguy/. Anyway, found pic related.

so good

Lead singer in Rise Against the Machines.
They play the "fuck you I wont do what you tell me" song.

From wiki:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zack_de_la_Rocha#Activism
De la Rocha became one of the most visible[citation needed] champions of human-rights causes around the world while advocating in favor of Leonard Peltier and Mumia Abu-Jamal, and supporting the Zapatista movement in Mexico. He spoke on the floor of the UN, testifying against the United States and its treatment of Abu-Jamal. De la Rocha has been particularly outspoken on the cause of the EZLN. He explained the importance of the cause to him personally.

What are some good RAMB bands other than Panopticon, Skagos and Iskra?

Tbh that's really the extent of my knowledge of the genre too, I was just saying RABM to prove that guy wrong.

I do know Finnishbolshevik from YouTube has a black metal project, puntaterrori

how the hell is Stravinsky authoritarian right?

Kevin Devine. One of the more vocal and left-leaning of any artists I know who came out of the early 2000's emo/alt rock wave. He's got quite a few anti-imperialist/anti-capitalist songs sprinkled throughout his disocgraphy

How is Bieber not a communist? Also is this how your leaders, the mods, show how the world would run under communist rule. Say something out of line, off to the gulag? This is why you guys will never win.

And 2+2=5

I'm guessing you have a history of shitposting for getting banned for that post.
I'll bite though, why the fuck do you think Bieber is a communist?

mein gott, you are right

Xenakis never composed any music for the people. Instead he caved in to the elitist avant-gards of the '50s and '60s, being part of that scene that alienated once and for all from high culture.
He is the ultimate bourgeoise.

As someone who has only recently learned & listened of Xenakis do you care to explain more on how he is "elitist"?

what communist composers would you recommend then?

HELL YEAH

I grew up listening to Manu Chao through my dad (who ironically is a liberal).

his music is dope tho

o-ok…

I don't know if they were leftists, but Suicide has a music about Che.

youtube.com/watch?v=c7wnRttXNN8

I love that song but I thought it was criticism of how the che figure got treated "when he died the whole world lied they said he was a saint but I know he ain't" as a condemnation of how media sanctified him only when they were sure they could with no problem. Still a great damn song, my second fav after frankie teardrop.

FAK OFF

PROVES NOTHING
RAFIQ DID NOTHING WRONG

LITERALLY THE BEST MUSIC
srsly tho pieces for player piano changed my life
