      Yeah, that’s gross. He willingly placed himself adjacent to white supremacy. What an ass.

      I’m glad he’s suing an AI company though. Very much a “let them fight” moment.

      Haven’t heard it … Don’t think I can bring myself to listen to it.

      Em got attacked by some in the rap community for not standing up for Black issues which always struck me as odd because he kneeled during his performance at the Superbowl in a nod to Colin Kaepernick (he also spoke out in support of Colin too), endorsed Dems many times, in Zeus or whatever song he talked about racial equality with racist cops and stuff … It’s sad that he’s going this way because it makes it seem like the critics have been right all along.

      It’s really sad to hear … I kinda want to know why he’s went this way but I kinda don’t too …

    The next Elvis’s name is Nene (pronounced Nay-nay). She’s 16 years old and is from Thailand and plays an Ibanez MC300 Musician guitar that she was gifted by a Danish fan. More recently she received an PRS Private Stock guitar from a Thai office supply tycoon or some such. She became semi-famous in the US by winning America’s Got Talent this year but she goes much further than that. Here she is with her band OZONE covering Psychosocial by Slipknot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eeUEEfdhhg

    She’s the oldest band member. People have said that the band is all high school students but that’s incorrect. Boon, the drummer (also insanely good), just turned 13 and he is in middle school.

    Here’s Ozone’s cover of Master of Puppets with Nene singing and playing BOTH guitar parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMDvdAzUXxs&t=2605s

    Here are Nene’s AGT performances (audition, “judges’ callback”, quarter final, and final, plus collabs with The Warning and with Lincoln Park; she skipped the semi-finals by getting a golden buzzer in the quarter final): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUWK9-GV4hQ

    She opened for Avenged Sevenfold in Singapore last month, and then in their own show they invited her up on stage for two songs, which she absolutely slayed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQN2vQdSshg

    But, yeah, screw that AI stuff.

        He drew first blood.

          I was simply copying your second half of the comment but turning it on you to try and make you see the point. Doesn’t feel nice to be on the receiving end of it for little reason, eh? Also, why does his hair color matter to you?

            I don’t care actually, but your comment wasn’t clear so I asked. Right back at you pal.
