Remember when he covered The Sound of Silence?
Kinda weird how someone can sing that song and completely miss the point of it.
What about "No More"???? Like, THEY wrote it and they performed it. What happened?
I guess they also have other older songs like Immortalized and Indestructible which seem to be pro-war. I thought they had improved or something.
Such a huge section of their music was anti-war and anti-fascism. It's like if RATM came out and endorsed Trump. This is the first celebrity let down I've ever personally experianced, normally I'm able to identify the shitheads well ahead of time.
I had this same thought reading back some of these lyrics.
Good thing RATM is no more. It’d fucking break me if Zach came out as a
Conserv卐tive.
Can't be.
Conservatives and missing the point of their favourite songs; name a more iconic duo!
The point of the song revolves around many people's inability to communicate.
I think you can understand the song and still be a piece of shit. For example, he understands the song and properly communicated to us all that he's a monster.
Also controversial opinion but Simon and Garfunkel are not a difficult band to put out a banger cover of. If your music can capture an aching feeling you can cover their songs really well. Paul Simon was a musical genius.
You scared me with that “was” after “Paul Simon”, I had to check to make sure he wasn’t dead!
Tbh I had just assumed he was because he's really old. But then again buzz Aldrin is still alive
