We got it wrong. We should make a "non-boycott" list of people who aren't assholes yet. It would be way shorter, and we would remove people when they become so fucking stupid and arse-licking that they have the idea of reworking the national anthems of shitholes such as saudi arabia.

Don't sweat it. I love Hans Zimmer but after what he did to my car, I can't wait to hear the bizarre shits that will be the new anthem.
Zimmer was hired by BMW to make acceleration and engine noises for their "i" line of EVs. What they got was the sound of robots whining and having orgasms. I had to disable the sound on mine.

I thought this comment was about to go in a very different direction
Never letting Hans borrow my car after he used it as an instrument in an orchestral arrangement of Yankee Doodle Dandy

Huh, I guess Brian Eno wasn't available.
So, Costco and who else?
I would add Elton John and Tom Hanks, but if I look too deeply they may secretly be British Nazis working for the Queen to overthrow the American government...
Tony Hawk!
Keanu Reeves!
Didn’t he host a show that gave pseudo scientists a platform
It might be an unpopular opinion, but it doesn't make him a monster. His reasoning for it is that he doesn't want to cause more harm.
Locking people up isn't right either but he is entitled to a point of view

Sure it doesn’t make him a monster. It isn’t going to make me stop loving his music. But it does make me question his judgement.
He’s an addict, so he needs to avoid things that may trigger his addictive habits. He talks about weed leading to worse drugs. But not everyone is an addict.
I’ve been using weed for like, fifteen years. Have never been tempted to try anything harder. Most people I know who partake are the same way. Making weed illegal because addicts might go on to try harder drugs is ridiculous in a world with alcohol in it.

Tom Morello is based as hell
Costco made their CEO a multi-billionaire, that means billions of dollars that could have stayed in the customers' pockets or that could have been redistributed to all employees.

🎵 …and the bone saw’s red glare
the screams filling the air
the sawing of limbs
and the blood everywhere
O say does that bonesaw in hand yet wave?… 🎵
Sad to see a great composer who really doesn't need the money, take money from a brutal suppressive dynasty to make something that will make said dynasty look good
Even Eminem went dick riding and sucking saudi dictatorship for money. Jennifer Lo went stripping in her mid 50s there, + so many othera as well. 99.99999% of Hollowyood celebs and influencers turn into cheap spinless hypocrite sellout money whores when offered a saudi check
Didn’t Vince McMahon sell a bunch of yearly shows to Saudi Arabia? I used to love me some old school wrestling till i realized what a creepo he was
didn't they already sell out by going to Hollywood in the first place...?

I thought the guy was honourable.
From what I can tell, it seems like he takes credit for most of the work of his protégés. See: the DaVinci Code Soundtrack, for which he only wrote the main theme, or the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, for which... You guessed it, he only wrote the main theme.
And that Pirates theme is just a rehash of his theme for The Rock a few decades earlier

He gonna reuse the dune theme 😂
I wonder how he’s gonna include the part about slavery and misogyny
"I'm going for more of an 80s pop vibe."
He gonna thread in the Islamofascism, Human Slavery, and Misogyny?
Hard not to when rejecting a fantastic offer from MBS could end in an assassination. I'm interested in seeing how the West handles this loose cannon.
Wow, well, fuck that guy ... shame
Fuck, not hans zimmer man 😭 Why did he sell out to us
But on the other hand, our anthem sucks ass. We need a better one so i guess it isn't all bad?
He evidently does need the money, huh...
I would be down for a national anthem that sounded like a movie trailer. Opens with BWAAAAHMMMMM. Then another. Then narrator in a grisled and wise voice starts in, "We're not a good country. We've done horrible things." BWAAAAAHMMMMMM!
"Uncharted"
Weird news!
I always fucking knew this guy was a fucking hack. Fuck Hans zimmer.
what
Weird.
