Soulfly mainman slams Killswitch

Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy mainman Max Cavalera slammed his Roadrunner labelmates Killswitch Engage in a recent Swedish interview.

"I went to see Killswitch Engage in the States and it was the gayest show I've ever seen," says the singer. "I was like, 'I'm not part of this scene, it's fucking gay'. The attitude was so ridiculous. It was completely disappointing and gay."

I agree with Max. They are f-ing gay! This is heavy metal people! Since when do we have to be politically correct? We are supposed to piss people off by saying inappropriate things.

Oh my god what an utter moron! I had the utmost respect for Max back in the Sepultura days, but hearing a respected metal frontman using "gay" as a derogitory term is irresponsible and dissapointing. In an age where we are trying to stamp out homophobia, this is a severe let down It's perfectly ok not to like a band but calling them "gay" like its an insult has substantially lowered my oppinion of Max.

i'm sorry to all max cavalera fans but i agree with this dude. Being homosexual myself i do find this nonsense to be insulting. And i have respect for killswitch because they create great music which i love alot. I hope some sort of truce will be made, we dont need these arguments.

Fuckin' hell mate who are you calling him a moron when you can't even tell the difference between gay as in homosexual and "schoolyard" gay meaning rubbish or lame. Believe me, I'm as anti-homophobic as most people these days, but you need to cut the over-sensitive self-righteous bullshit and get over yourself. The same goes for anyone else that posted similar comments to Ed's, straight or homosexual.

The problem is that Max is a prominent figure in the kind of music we listen to. The practice of using the term gay as an insult is, as you've quite rightly said, a practice usually reserved for the schoolyard. Max should have grown out of this long ago, and the fact that he clearly hasn't sends out completely the wrong message. Moron or not, anyone can see that, wouldn't you agree?

The way he put that is hilarious.

"I was like, 'I'm not part of this scene, it's fucking gay'

It sounds so childish.

Max cavalera hasnt got a clue.

How can you honestly say, without lying through your teeth, that they arent a good band? There awsome end of. Even if you did feel that way about it, keep it to yourself? So you dont humilate yourself in front of the entire world, like you have done. Now no one will take you seriously. clever move.

He does do gay things live. But he's joking about, which is good cos it makes the band not seem too serious. And if im honest, im straight and i would...

bitch metal?

what a bitchy, underhanded comment! I mean, I'm all for speaking your mind but when you're in the public eye you hav to watch your tongue. you realy can't afford to piss so many people off. Besides, he's just coming off as immature and well illiterate. could he not think of an other insults? I mean he uses the same one over and over. If ou're going to diss at least be creative about it!
