Where the modern excitable society draws its boundaries and where it does not seems arbitrary in many respects. When Rammstein played two sold-out Happel Stadium concerts last summer, several groups formed to loudly protest against Till Lindemann – the shows still went ahead. The US metal heroes Pantera were less lucky, whose already sold-out show at the Gasometer was canceled because the Vienna Greens got wind of Phil Anselmo’s Hitler salute in 2016 via Campino, for which he publicly apologized several times. When he played with his band, the Illegals, in the metal club Viper Room a few years earlier, everyone didn’t care – or it went unnoticed. Marilyn Manson, who was accused by several women of having abused and coerced them, will soon start another tour with Five Finger Death Punch in the USA.
