Several musicians from the Rock and Metal community took to Twitter last night to comment on the results of the American election, which gave victory to Republican candidate Donald Trump. Check out some of the messages left below:
Corey Taylor (Slipknot): “I didn’t think my country would be so stupid or hateful. I’m disgusted. I won’t say ‘I told you so’ when he tries to screw you over.”
“Do yourself a favor tonight: find your friend in the Black/Latino/LGBT community tonight. They will need your help, and possibly your protection.”
Danny Worsnop (Asking Alexandria): “As I know will be commented on, I am not American. But I live here and this election affects me a lot. I hope good things happen from this presidency. Regardless: Music, art, soul and beauty will always shine. I love you all.”
DJ Ashba (Sixx:AM): “Congratulations to our 45th president Donald Trump! Make America great again!”
Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe): “What the hell is really going on?”
Jared Leto (30 Seconds To Mars: “Jared Leto supports Hillary Clinton”
Mike Portnoy: “I haven’t drunk in 17 years. I swear tonight is the closest I’ve ever come to considering drinking again. I’m in shock.”
Charlie Benante (Anthrax): "I'm just like WTF"
Dino Cazares (Fear Factory): "Shocked and worried about our future."
Paolo Gregoletto (Trivium): “A new American era has begun, for better or for worse. I hope cool heads prevail on both sides.”
Josh Freese: “Here’s your guy, America. One word: absurd. Just absolutely absurd. Good night.”
Scott Ian (Anthrax): “Guys, relax. I’m 17 hours in the future here in Japan and everything’s okay.”
