Even if he didn't buy it from Brad, why would it matter? It's music. You don't have to agree with the band's views. It's also funny how Arghoslent gets so much flak, yet it's totally fine to support Burzum. Not to say both aren't idiots, but it's a stupid contradictory standard.

Although I agree with the sentiment, Burzum's music isn't racist or anything. Arghoslent's is.

Love both bands, though.

That doesn't change the fact that Varg is still a racist though. Not to mention also a murderer, associated with the neo-Nazi group Heathen Front, and supposedly burned down the most famous stave church in Norway.

well yeah, but throw on any one of Burzum's songs and give a first-time listener the lyrics, they wouldn't find anything offensive.

Throw on "Rape Of A Slave" or "Flogging The Cargo" and see what a first-time listener thinks.

That's for sure, but by Bloodofthekings logic Burzum would still be off limits, as he only said "financially supporting white supremacist", not supporting a band with racist lyrics.

It's not really a big deal, I was kinda just joking. I never said I would buy Burzum albums either. I'm also not buying any Megadeth albums/concert tickets but if other people want to i'm not gonna stop them.

Ah, okay. I see no problem with people not wanting to support a band because of their own values or beliefs, I just don't like when people knock others for doing it.
