Singer Sebastian Bach criticizes Disturbed’s David Draiman after he sided with Joe Rogan, praising as well Spotify’s announcement that it would remove Neil Young‘s music two days after Young demanded that his catalog be taken off in response to “fake information about vaccines” being “spread” on the platform via Joe Rogan‘s podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience”.
Draiman took a Twitter post where he tagged and praised Spotify’s chief executive Daniel Ek, mentioning:
“@eldsjal I applaud you and @Spotify for making the RIGHT call, preserving #FreeSpeech and not capitulating to the mob. I may not agree with everything @joerogan or his guests say, but they’re entitled to have the forum to say it.”
Disturbed singer also tweeted:
“Let me be clear. I do not support ANY artist blackmailing any entity to follow an agenda THEY believe in, wether it’s @Neilyoung one one side of the spectrum or @EricClapton on the other. Music shouldn’t be used to sow division. It should be used to bring people together IMHO”.
Later on, singer Sebastian Bach also tweeted back in response to Draiman:
“Imagine calling yourself a rocker yet siding with some dude who has a podcast over @Neilyoung You can stick to listening to your podcast and I will stick to listening to Neil Young.“, where Draiman replied back:
“I still love and will listen to @Neilyoung too brother, the same way I still love and will listen to you. Always continue to respect and admire the both of you brother. The only ‘side’ I’m on is the side of freedom, and you’re free to have your opinion, of course.”
Imagine calling yourself a rocker yet siding with some dude who has a podcast over @Neilyoung 😂 you can stick to listening to your podcast and I will stick to listening to Neil Young ✌️
