Rock music feels like it’s on the wrong side of history with Donald Trump in power in the USA blundering around like an old rock star on his last half full stadium tour it’s becoming the soundtrack to the out of touch. Hughes who was already very Republican/Trump in his views before then later retracted those remarks but has added his voice to the gun control debate that is splitting America in two.
We were left wondering that in a dark room full of panicking audience members whether random members of the audience who were sober and had remembered to bring their guns would have been able to get a clear shot in and even know who to shoot at and not add to the depressing carnage. A peaceful march all across the USA you would think that this was a fairly reasonable cause and whilst the likes of Paul McCartney actually marched anonymously in the huge crowds the sadly and probably more genuine voice of modern rock music could be heard from the likes of Jesse Hughes – the frontman of the Eagles Of Death Metal – a band who admittedly were caught in the crossfire of the tragic events at the Bataclan in Paris a couple of years ago.Īfter that shooting, Hughes came out with some disagreeable opinions on the right to bear arms and questioned whether the strict gun control laws in France were a factor in so many people getting shot at that fateful gig.
