Confusion only occurs on the one hand, but artists were at the same event in England just over a week ago
The festival Back to the beginningwhich marked the farewells of Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne Soil, was held last July 5 in a climate of celebration. Several bands were invited, as well as isolated musicians who formed “supergroups” to play songs from the honorees.
The guitarist Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine) did not play with the singer David Draiman (Disturbs), but the two may have interacted at some point, since Morello was the artistic director of the show. Therefore, it is noteworthy that Draiman is firing against Morello on social networks shortly after the event in England.
It all started when Tom, notorious for his political position on the left, praised the young band Kneecap For sharing the same thoughts, especially in supporting Palestine towards Israel. In an interview with Strombo Showthe musician was invited to quote current bands he is listening to and eventually answered:
“I have recently heard a San Diego hip hop duo named The Neighborhood Kids and certainly has a little rage against the machine in them. They rhyme about experiences that have passed and do it so true that you think: ‘Good thing someone has the courage to say these things, you know?’ From the list is Kneecap. They are clearly Rage Against The Machine of today. ”
The mention of Kneecap bothered Draiman. Supporter of the State of Israel for having descendants from there, the singer even autographer missiles when visiting local defense forces. Through X/Twitter (via Igor Miranda website), he lamented Morello’s statement:
“Shameful. Really. I would like to say that I am surprised, but I am not. Apparently, my family simply does not matter when it comes to the virtue demonstrations of my ‘friend’ in favor of who supports terror and incites hate to the Jews.”
Shameful. TRULY.
Wish I Could Say I Was Shocked.

Kneecap rebounds David Draiman and defends Tom Morello
Through the same social network, Kneecap manifested itself, citing the autograph episode in missiles. The group declared:
“We don’t care about anyone’s religion… or if the person has one. We love everyone that is good people. Smiling and signing bombs that are thrown to kill children and the families of others simply make you a great son of P#T@. Simple.
We Don’t Care What Religion Anyone is … or if they’ve one at all.
We Love All Sound Cunts.
Smiling and signing bombs dropped to murder kids and other people’s family just makes you a straight up cunt.
Simple as.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸 https://t.co/qf72cp3pc5pic.twitter.com/6hvus2wb7m
