Gwar vocalist Oderus Urungus has surprisingly come out saying that he doesn’t “hate” Megadeth‘s Dave Mustaine. This of course comes after numerous rants (see here and here) that one would have thought suggested the contrary.
Earlier today (October 28th) Mustaine made the following comment on Twitter:
“If you don’t “support” something, does that mean you automatically “hate” it? Thoughts?”
Oderus offhandedly replied to the comment directly, saying: “No! I don’t support a lot of your politics, but I don’t hate you. You shred, game over! Keep it up, Metal-Lord!”
Rob Zombie didnt’t receive the same show of respect however. Urungus later launched into the following rant seemingly directed entirely at the shock rocker:
“He is far more talented than his music and art would lead you to expect. He could lead a revolution, instead he is a corporate tool. Bubble gum for Wal-Mart rockers. About as menacing as his fans. GWAR tries to destroy the world and make a new one, all he cares about is $.
Give GWAR a production budget like Zob Rombie gets and we would do some REAL DAMAGE. But enough, I have worlds to destroy. Here’s a reason I feel Rob lacks credibility as an artist…many years ago in an interview he was asked if he had seen GWAR. His reply– “When I saw GWAR, I thought man, I wanna do that, but I want to make money…” To me, an recording artist who is primarily motivated by making money is no artist at all. He’s a pop star. It’s why I started hating KISS.
And lets not forget White Zombies “Milli Vanilli moment” at the MTV awards…bands playing to pre-recorded tracks, and STILL blowing it…well, that simply is not rock and roll. Done with this. Catch ya later guys!”
Urungus has of course made his distaste for Zombie well-known in recent weeks.
