Pantera shows cancelled after frontman’s Nazi salute prompts fan backlash

[BidenPresident]

Three shows of Pantera’s forthcoming reunion tour have been cancelled this week, seemingly due to a 2016 incident in which frontman Phil Anselmo made a Nazi salute and yelled “white power” at a concert.

As Consequence reports, the revered Texas metal band, who have not toured in more than 20 years, were dropped from the lineups of Germany’s Rock am Ring and Rock im Park festivals earlier this week. The promoter of the festivals cited public backlash to Pantera’s booking as the reason for dropping the band, saying the decision was made due to “intensive conversations with artists, our partners and you, the festival fans”.

How stupid. Keep your Nazi bullshit to yourself, Phil. Pantera's drummer is an incredible "machine" by the way. I wonder if they're pissed at their fuckhead of a bandmember for screwing them?

But Kool and The Gang holding up a fist and screaming black power would be OK

The Germans are willing to face their past, and have extreme backlashes to Nazism. Why are the Republicans unwilling to?

But Kool and The Gang holding up a fist and screaming black power would be OK

Did Blacks in Germany commit genocide of the Jews?

Never heard of the knuckleheads.

They were around a few decades ago. Apparently for good reason not heard of until now.

The takeaway is that Germans are more anti-Nazi than MAGAs are

Never heard of the knuckleheads.

Pantera sounds like an Italian bakery, but I actually heard of this speed metal band back in the day. You'd probably have to be around metal heads to be aware of them.
