All That Remains’ Phil Labonte: “I’m Fucking Punk Rock”

Here’s a neat Phil Labonte quote from a new All That Remains press release:

“I want to be the guy that really challenges people’s ideas. I’m fucking punk rock. Punk rock hasn’t been punk rock for 30 years. For too long metal has been bullshit, milky pandering crap. What happened to metal? What happened to punk rock? What happened to being anti-establishment? I wanna bring that all back.”

Phil is so right! Metal has become too safe, and he’s clearly the guy to #makemetalpunkagain. Nothing says “anti-establishment” like using computers to make sure your voice sounds perfect, tossing around slurs against minority groups, being unable to defend your political views on television, saying people shouldn’t be offended by words while in the process of being offended by words, and taking a stand against feminism. It’s not as though our sitting leader is an inarticulate, misinformed, thin-skinned bigot who gloats about sexually assaulting women. Phil, you’re such a rebel!
