Prior to enjoying “Blind In Texas”, W.A.S.P. frontman Blackie Lawless gave a prolonged pro-Trump speech earlier than placing up images of the president elect alongside unveiling Trump banners on either side of the stage.

Lawless defined his choice to take action throughout a November 19 Q&A session, as captured by Blabbermouth. Lawless mentioned the pro-Trump speech was additionally “about America” and gave the impression to be a full band choice. Lawless then in contrast “Large Tech censorship” to the 1985 Dad and mom’ Music Useful resource Middle censorship, which is odd contemplating “Large Tech” is non-public enterprise and the PMRC was authorities censorship. It is also an odd remark as a result of… what tech is censoring who? X is run by somebody who’s carefully aligned with Trump, and Trump has his personal Reality Social community.

“Once we did what we did Saturday night time, it wasn’t nearly him. It was about America. And we knew earlier than we did it, ‘trigger we weighed the thought forwards and backwards for every week earlier than we did it, what would we do if there was gonna be fallout? And I mentioned, effectively, it does not matter if there’s fallout, as a result of if you see Large Tech censorship, it is the identical factor we had been going via 40 years in the past; it is simply that it is acquired a special title on it now — that is all. So, the very first thing any authorities does after they seize energy is that they seize the airwaves, as a result of we all know that should you can censor speech, you may management thought ultimately. We see it time after time. And even should you do not management the thought to the diploma you want, you cower individuals in order that they’re like little rabbits hiding within the nook. They’re afraid to talk out.”

He continued: “So, that was the large cause behind it. However somebody who’s keen to undergo what the man did, effectively, I imply… I heard any person say yesterday, he mentioned he is acquired large brass wings. And I assumed, yep, that is very true, as a result of Thomas Jefferson mentioned, the tree of liberty should be changed sometimes with the blood of patriots and tyrants. And I see him as a patriot. And once I was saying what I used to be saying the opposite night time — there’s two issues I used to be fascinated about, which was censorship and patriotism. So, if any person’s keen to die for what they imagine in, I gotta stand there with them.”
