Was a big offspring fan , but the way you were treated is as far removed from a punk/rock and roll attitude as you can get. It’s the attitude of big business, which iv actually nothing against, but it’s not a punk attitude . You don’t need me to tell you but, you were right standing your ground. Good luck with your new projects.

Wow, after seeing this it’s not right. I got vaccinated and all that. Then after 3 years got real sick with it. Didn’t change a thing. When I got my second shot I was out cold for 5 days of work sick as I was with Covid. I really think there was time in 2020-2022 when it became a political stance. Unfortunately a lot of hate and weirdness was thrown around. I get people want to work, and they may have dismissed you due to not being able to tour a certain country. But outside that I don’t get it? The conversation should have still been open. But seems it was treated as an institution, with suits in front of it. Keep your head up man!
Good for him on pushing back and not giving in.

That's the conflicted nature of righteousness. We get so accustomed to the apparent duality of right vs wrong that we often times forget that we live intricate and inextricable lives. How can we do right by others without wronging someone else? How do we stick to or change our principles and ideologies when we realize their benefits and costs? That's the complex nature of situations related to freedoms and safeguards. Many people seem to perceive a contradiction between the two in light of the pandemic, but freedom and safety aren't opposing ideas. Some people think the jab is better for community health and freedoms while other people think individual freedom and accountability for one's health is better for the community. Both are true. The true conflict of these two apparently disparate ideas depends on the practices used to balance these freedoms and safeguards. Otherwise this "controversy" would be notably weaker, and most people would reconcile most of the personal ideological differences existing in society.
There is no honor in being a sellout.There is honor in loyalty.

This is the day the Offspring died for me and they were my favourite band at one point in time. I was offered a free ticket to see them and knocked it back because I think they're wankers. It was obvious that it was going to become milder over time. The molecular biologist should have realised that. During COVID there was just an overwhelming need to be the most conspicuous, obedient example of conformity possible. Not what I want from my so-called Punk Rock bands 😂😂😂😂

☑️ Exactly! Their decision to fire him wasn't based on science. It was about conforming to the stringent political and ideological dogma of the (corrupt) leftist/globalist elites. It's mind-blowing to me that in late 2021, a PhD educated person like their band leader could've STILL been blindly adhering to the discredited claims that "the vaccine will prevent you from contracting or transmitting the Covid virus"! By that time, we already knew that the so-called "vaccines" _only_ serve as a prophylactic treatment to reduce the symptoms of Covid, NOT to prevent it from being spread! Phizer has since admitted that they never even tested their "vaccine" to see if it was effective at preventing contraction or transmission! I'd say they owe their fired bandmate a major apology, although I wouldn't hold my breath. Ideological zealots rarely change their minds, even when it's clear they were wrong. Why do you think communism and fascism still exist!

So you definitely made the right decision a shame others saw dollars and not the person. Wish you well in all your future endeavours.

The Offspring, or to be more precise, Holland and Noodles, are just one more addition to a long list list of celebrities who showed us their true colours in the last few years. Biggest respect in the world to Pete for having morals.
Deftones went a different way about this. Their guitarist just didn't participate in the world tour. They had to hire a fill-in. Many fans quickly assumed it was because he didn't want to be vaxxed.

The craziest part about this is that I thought Dexter would be much more civil to his bandmate and "friend", since his field of study was specifically working on mRNA "vaccines" and he knew of Pete's medical condition. I'm glad the drummer didn't give in. The music industry needs more like him and Tom Barber.

Dexter obviously doesn't believe in the study's much or he would know one of the biggest factors is being overweight. He looks well over weight.

The thing about being in that field of study is that they only teach you what they want you to know. There's so much more out there that doctors don't even get taught.

I'm a musician who took the high road and lost my career temporarily as well, but mainly for moral reasons against tyranny. Many including the Offspring didn't as money and conformity to authoritarian dictates to them are far more important.

They handled this like total shite. I guess a lot of rockers and punks are now conformist/statist and that is so not punk or rock.

Pete, what they did to you , was unfair and absolutely horrible. They owe you a HUGE apology, ESPECIALLY given light of new information and what we know now. They need to admit their wrongs, and beg your forgiveness. YOU DID THE RIGHT THING!!! I pray they come to their senses. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed ALL your concerts. I will not attend another until they right this wrong. I hope and pray that they do the right thing and I can see you all together again!! ❤

No shit, I’ve never heard of this YT channel but it came up in my feed, and the subject matter was interesting to me, so I clicked on it. I’m literally 8 seconds in and just the fact that there’s a “warning info label” thing on it tells me exactly what I suspected. Funny that so many of the videos with discussions involving independent thought have these little “tags” on them. How ridiculous! BTW even before I watch this I’d like to say KUDOS to their s band member who held fast and stuck to his principles regardless of any potential repercussions (which is what I suspect he did). He’s my brother in independent spirit! Cheers, all!
Glad I watched this before buying tickets for their new tour.
The offspring are clowns.
During the pandemic many people in my family announced to a minority of our family that the unvaxxinated of our family were not going to be welcome at the annual family Christmas gathering... First time I didn't spend time with my family for the holidays, hard to forgive but if I don't I'm just as sanctimonious as they were
He literally said it wasn't even our decision to be forced to get jabbed. But it was their choice to kick out their drummer. These guys are just owned in speaking for the big pharma.
