This is a nice interview. I like how he is a bit uncomfortable at the beginning but then he goes on, relaxes and starts giving a set of arguments of how large of a mess dominates the US (and the world)
There was a slip in his talking of 'The Gulf War' because that was in 1990-1991 and was George Bush Sr. era in American politics. I believe he meant to say the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. The "weapons of mass destruction" references the G.W. Bush claim made to the American people before the initial Iraq invasion and climaxed with the hanging of Sadaam Hussein (2006). LOG came together as BTP in the 90's, but released New American Gospel as LOG in 2000. Being a huge fan of the Ashes album at the time of it's release, much of the political commentary is relevant to the G.W. Bush era and Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.
Randy made a really good point when he said Trump is a symptom of a larger problem. What does it say about America when they vote for someone like Trump? The guy is so crooked he can't even speak straight.
The real problem is that ppl refuse to see or learn the truth about anything. Peoples negative opinions about trump are corrupted by the progressive left. The progressive left controls all of our institutions including the most powerful weapon, the media. I love lamb of god, but Randy’s opinion is simply just an opinion. And when you say he’s a criminal, guarantee you can’t actually name one thing he’s done that’s criminal. He’s not the perfect guy but he’s done a lot of good that is buried by the media. The progressive left is a the reason why everything is upside down. Ppl need to learn to read an actual book sometimes and not reading crap from buzzfeed, politico, cnn ,msnbc etc.
In my opinion Trump was the lesser evil when compared to Hillary. I would vote for Sarah Palin as US President in a heartbeat before I'd ever consider voting for Clinton. My biggest issue is with Trump's unwavering support of Israel. Too many Americans are truly unaware of the horrific treatment of Palestinians and those in the know (Christians) just don't care. Their ignorance of the situation stems from a very small amount of additions or notations in the Scofield Reference Bible financed by the Rothschild family. Google "Cyrus Scofield" if anyone's curious about his influence over Christians mainly in the Bible Belt region of the US. #FREE PALESTINE!
Is it just me, or did the first 30 seconds of the actual interview clearly shows that Randy really doesn't want to be there? As they say, if someone is actually listening to you, they'll look you in the eye as you speak. Hmmm, I don't think Randy wanted to be there.
That may be true of many neurotypical people but there are a lot of things that make that not always the case. People with ADD tend to focus better if they aren't looking directly at someone most the conversation (can attest to this personally, I turn my ear to you to really listen instead of my eyes), people with autism tend to have issues with eye contact, and those are just a couple examples I'm more familiar with. I'm not familiar enough with Randy personally to know if anything like that may be true of him, but considering he went off for 10 minutes off a vague question it seemed like he was interested in being there to me.
Imagine researching and thinking about so many intricate issues and having to answer the most broad all encompassing question. It’s annoying to explain the basics and the reason when you’re so far past it. He handled it well though.
yes Erin but you have to pick at the end of the day This centrist "all politicians are liars open your eyes" bs is more often than not, just an excuse for inaction. Don't worship Biden, but acknowledge that Trump is a cartoon and get him out.
@@wren4077 how old are you? Because I have a feeling some of us were politically active when you were in diapers. I’ve paid my dues, but nothing can contend with the control the two parties have. I will never vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s how you got Donald Trump. You want people to vote for someone? Put up a better candidate.
@@heathercash8060 Heather, you got Trump literally because of the low voter turnout. It was the complacency of people like you. Thanks a lot. I might be younger than you but idk what that has to do with anything since you're displaying your ignorance right here. Voter turnout for the 2016 elections was nearly the lowest in 20 years. Some 53-54 % voted if I recall correctly. The rhetoric that a cartoon character like Trump couldn't possibly make it into office is why Hillary lost. That is why Hillary won the popular vote and lost the election. The low voter turnout. That very complacency had to be shaken off so the turnout this year reached a high after almost 50 years of over 62 % Do you think if people had been complacent and thought like you and voted for neither Trump nor Biden, that Biden would've won?? You know how close the race was, right? Heather, your inaction and youtube comments are the reason Trump came into office. Fucking vote.
@@heathercash8060 And if you aren't gonna vote then please shut up because your words and comments don't achieve anything. Stop trying to virtue signal about how all politics is bad when you're not even gonna try to make a change. Go give some hollow speeches about how you're above politics and "it doesn't even matter, the middle guy always gets shafted" and "don't care about any of this" at your kitty parties and Bingo Saturdays at the local club. Jesus christ you boomers man.
It’s funny how me and Randy Blythe can see the same problems of materialism and consumerism and the broken system, yet have totally different perspectives on who bears the brunt of the blame for those problems. I think Trump has been better than most recent presidents because his foreign policy has been good. Still interesting to see his perspective though. LoG fan for life!
I know I don't agree on what he thinks about trump but I agree with him on other topics and I respect Randy for not lashing out about trump but instead told the interviewer on what he thinks about it in a nice manner, and I agree the both parties are pretty fucked now one more than the other in my opinion but I gotta agree with him on that.
Personally I think it would be wise if we threw out political parties. There shouldn't be a political divide in this country. Politicians should works together to improve the state of the country instead of hating on each other and lining each others pockets.
They’re all just puppets to a deeper state, but I FEEL LIKE the democratic is much more manipulative since they’re always pulling the identity politics card. They know how to catch the attention from the public for these topics
Are you saying LOG lyrics are trash? Wow Randy writes some of the most haunting lyrics in metal so I don’t get your opinion at all but to each is own! Tell me why his opinions are trash because all I here is him spitting facts straight up! Bill Hicks said it best you either vote for the puppet on the left side or the right side but the puppet master controls both…..it’s all a circus and it’s been that way for a long time!
Sure DemocRATS are so pure & respectable Right?? like mother Teresa. I hate it so much when such great musicians turn all their talent to focus on politics....what the fuck. Stop it.
Is there anyone writing music about how bad bidens doing rn?
Answers yes yes they Are lol let's go brandon
There are some. Conservatives tend to be less curious and creative, so you dont see very many making it big. What do you think Biden is doing wrong?
This is a nice interview. I like how he is a bit uncomfortable at the beginning but then he goes on, relaxes and starts giving a set of arguments of how large of a mess dominates the US (and the world)
Randy is such a smart, conscious person. I love him so much and everything he stand for.
The fact that half the comments here devolved into arguments on party lines exactly as Randy was both lamenting and predicting is fuel for nihilism.

Yea your right he meant the war in the Middle East after 911 but I’m sure the Gulf War inspired them too but yea that was definitely a slip up!
And this is why I love Randy 🤠
check out anti-flag album 20/20 its all about trump

Hello!
Im so glad that when he was asked which candidate he supported, he said NO to both ! Randys no hollywood celebrity sheep on the Jo Biden band wagon.
yes Erin

The music is amazing. The lyrics are trash, just like Randy's opinion. And most Democrats
haha, you want GOP, listen to country pendejo!! Keep Metal Anti-fascist, Anti-racist, anti- pieces of Sheet!🤘🏽🤘🏽

A skinny version of our new Trans heath secretary
GREAT COMMENT !!!! Lets Go Brandon !
Total bullshit. No wonder the drummer left.
He's a total criminal and is now indicted
Sure DemocRATS are so pure & respectable Right?? like mother Teresa. I hate it so much when such great musicians turn all their talent to focus on politics....what the fuck. Stop it.
Most metal music is political. Randy pretty much explained that's exactly how they've always written their music.
I don’t what the hell im talking about ( scratches head )
Randy..... you sound like trump.... you have a lot in common with trump.... your the victim here buddy
You're.
