We got it wrong. We should make a "non-boycott" list of people who aren't assholes yet. It would be way shorter, and we would remove people when they become so fucking stupid and arse-licking that they have the idea of reworking the national anthems of shitholes such as saudi arabia.
Don't sweat it. I love Hans Zimmer but after what he did to my car, I can't wait to hear the bizarre shits that will be the new anthem.
Zimmer was hired by BMW to make acceleration and engine noises for their "i" line of EVs. What they got was the sound of robots whining and having orgasms. I had to disable the sound on mine.

I thought this comment was about to go in a very different direction
Never letting Hans borrow my car after he used it as an instrument in an orchestral arrangement of Yankee Doodle Dandy

Huh, I guess Brian Eno wasn't available.
So, Costco and who else?
I would add Elton John and Tom Hanks, but if I look too deeply they may secretly be British Nazis working for the Queen to overthrow the American government...
Tony Hawk!
Keanu Reeves!
Didn’t he host a show that gave pseudo scientists a platform
It might be an unpopular opinion, but it doesn't make him a monster. His reasoning for it is that he doesn't want to cause more harm.
Locking people up isn't right either but he is entitled to a point of view

Sure it doesn’t make him a monster. It isn’t going to make me stop loving his music. But it does make me question his judgement.
He’s an addict, so he needs to avoid things that may trigger his addictive habits. He talks about weed leading to worse drugs. But not everyone is an addict.
I’ve been using weed for like, fifteen years. Have never been tempted to try anything harder. Most people I know who partake are the same way. Making weed illegal because addicts might go on to try harder drugs is ridiculous in a world with alcohol in it.
Reducing other's freedoms because they're bad for you is something I'd consider evil. People should be allowed to make choices for themselves. If you think they're harmful than you should try to educate people, but you shouldn't try to make them having a choice (which you were allowed to make) illegal.
Tom Morello is based as hell
I've heard Dave Grohl is pretty ok?

Not exactly. Also recently announced a child from cheating on his wife.
I knew it was too good to be true
I remember when in 2018 there was an uproar against Trump using that language
President Donald Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as "shithole countries" during a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators
The U.N. human rights office said the comments, if confirmed, were "shocking and shameful" and "racist,"
[source]
I'm not surprised to see Lemmy embrace and adopt Trump's language, so long as it's aimed at countries y'all dislike, and so long as it fits y'all's agenda
Trump didn’t invent this expression. Also any country that still cut heads is a shithole. Have a nice day.
I have never been to KSA so I'll refuse to take a position on the nation but Trump is hardly the originator of that phrase. He's just the classless idiot who used it on mic. If you are actually fluent in English it would be really weird to think this is "Trump's language"
🎵 …and the bone saw’s red glare
the screams filling the air
the sawing of limbs
and the blood everywhere
O say does that bonesaw in hand yet wave?… 🎵
I thought the guy was honourable.
From what I can tell, it seems like he takes credit for most of the work of his protégés. See: the DaVinci Code Soundtrack, for which he only wrote the main theme, or the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, for which... You guessed it, he only wrote the main theme.
And that Pirates theme is just a rehash of his theme for The Rock a few decades earlier
Well, did he give feedback or other input for the other songs of the soundtracks? Like, was he the leader and the others worked for him, or did he have no say in what the others did?
So, compare this contemporary review, which makes it clear (including a quote from Zimmer himself!) that while Zimmer, Djawadi, and others contributed leitmotifs and notes, the majority of composition was Badelt's. Now consider Zimmer's website's description, which invariably paints himself as the main composer of nearly every track, even claiming the title of primary composer, and seems to erase the contributions of Badelt at every opportunity.
So, I take any claims of Zimmer's greatness with a giant salt lick. I originally read another source (which I now am unable to locate) that claimed the only thing Zimmer wrote for the DaVinci Code was the main theme motif, much like "He's a Pirate" for the first pirates movie. I now generally assume that anything excellent "composed" by Zimmer was some other collaborator's work, Zimmer offered a chord or two, then used his ill-gotten fame to bully the less-famous collaborators to accept the title of second fiddle while Zimmer mimes the Solo in the spotlight.
I used to really like the guy...
I’ve always heard he’s kinda of a dick to work with
Wow, well, fuck that guy ... shame
I would be down for a national anthem that sounded like a movie trailer. Opens with BWAAAAHMMMMM. Then another. Then narrator in a grisled and wise voice starts in, "We're not a good country. We've done horrible things." BWAAAAAHMMMMMM!
He evidently does need the money, huh...
I always fucking knew this guy was a fucking hack. Fuck Hans zimmer.
what
"Uncharted"
Weird news!
Oof. Well, for his sake I hope he gets it right 🪚
After reading the article it sounds much less oniony. He was hired to make a new arrangement of the existing anthem, not compose a new one.
A new arrangement of an existing anthem is literally what rework means.
