TL;DR: Probably teenage edgelord bullshit but it's pretty yikes

The band is dumb edgelord poo poo but that interview is the worst and I’m surprised they even bothered sticking around for that long. I like her every now and then but lol come on that’s a joke.

For what it's worth, Kim is also the person who used to brag about owning shitloads of NSBM LPs. Also the person who managed Anal oval office, who by the end were completely unironically shitheads.

This is/was her bestie doing this interview: http://mourningtheancient.com/demonic.htm

(check out the answer below "the world we live", although that might be too tenuous a link considering there's no source for her being besties with Dana)

I think the message is good, but it feels very disingenuous that she's the one leading this charge.

EDIT: To be clear, it is bullshit that NPR fired her.

It's.... it's very much archetypal Dragonforce. I was never a huge fan, but they have their moments. Listen if you like triumphant choruses and fast guitar noodling.
Dragonforce is definitely a band that knows its niche.

A guy I toured with use to live in LA and saw the guitarist (one in the sunglasses in that video) sitting in the corner looking rough as hell about 6 years ago. This is when they first blew up, and he recognized him from the fire and the flames video. He sits down and starts chatting it up with the dude, and he literally starts crying in the bar. So my friend is trying to chill him out and ask what's wrong? The dude spills his guts that they slowed down the recordings to play those super fast solos, and fast parts in general, and that the band literally couldn't do it live. They had just started their tour, and were about to blast around the world, and the guy was so heartbroken that everyone was gonna find out they really sucked that he was just sitting there alone drinking his face off. (Just watched that whole video, looks like nothings changed)

It would be a bit easier to take the likes of kim kelly seriously if she did anything with her politics other than write metal 'journalism' that could have come out of a uk tabloid.

She seems very active in her community. To be completely honest she seems like she’s better at that than her journalism. That said I really don’t mean to bash her. She’s doing a good thing even if the way she does some of it seems pretty backwards.

Guitar Hero was a thing that probably should have never happened.

I saw Iron Maiden last night, they still rule so much. Most of the classics were played, it was amazing. Some guy from Germany was there and is seeing like 5 or 6 shows on this tour, that's a crazy level of dedication.

Agreed on Guitar Hero. Just left everybody with a bunch of embarassing toy instruments.

I have tickets for a show next month; Iron Maiden was like my third concert ever back in 2000 and somehow I haven't seen them since. Time to fix that (and luckily it's one of their nostalgia tours)

The drums were really fun but broke easily. And they exposed people to some pretty good music that they might not have otherwise heard!
